No, the Partner is a normal summon, but the Hero speaks through the Partner instead of on their own.

Hey, would it be possible to have a set of twins as a character, but only one of them can be in combat at a time apart from theoretical finishing moves/stunts?

Be a bit more specific on this, would you? Are you trying to have two different characters but saying you can only use on at a time? Or something else?

Kind of. The idea is that they can both turn into weapons, that the other one can use. They can't both be in combat at the same time. For balancing, I could perhaps choose which one is dominant for the battle and they can't switch for the duration? Or, if they can switch in battle, than they both have lower stats than a single character would?

Well, that's fine then. Go ahead.

Either or could work. I'm going to hold off on proper judgement for an idea like this, though, because A. I haven't seen it properly yet and B. I'm heading off to sleep. Ask me again tomorrow.

[TheBiggerFish]

Ha.  Ha.  Ha.

How does a literal sentient shadow sound?

[Twinwolf]

Like something suspiciously similar to a character you already have.

[SOLDIER First]

Don't do object shadows, do metaphorical shadows. Go evil.

[TheBiggerFish]

Not...Really.  There is a similar theme to Ray, but...It's not at all the same IDEA.

I don't like evil.
