lb_lee: A happy little brain with a bandage on it, enclosed within a circle with the words LB Lee. (Default)

Multiple

"Two or more people who use the same body; The experience of sharing the body with others." (Dark Personalities, 2001) This is far from the only way it's been defined, but it seems to be the one most in use.

Quick Details

Coined By: Shirley Ardell Mason? (AKA: Sibyl)
Time Used: 1973? - Present
Locations Used: EVERYWHERE.

 

( We just sorta assumed this word popped up in many different places around the same time, but no, it seems to have come around in the seventies... though it's pretty muddy and who knows if that'll ever change. Also, we should probably write a section on all the various definitions that have been in use, but that would require digging into Ralph Allison's Allisonian ISH and Risei and Kanjou and Celestial Intelligent Energy and who wants that, I ask you. )
