tulPlay. tulPlan. tulPal.
tulpa Generation 2 features a redesign of the exterior of the model, as well as several interior optimizations and upgrades that enhance dream integration and overall customer experience. The pre-adolescent boy appearance remains the same, of course, but the face shape has been altered for a more marketably "cute" and distinctly "sheep" appearance that we found resonated with our control group. The switch to the sheep appearance also allowed us to refine the fluffstuff system; now tulpas are capable of growing fluffstuff on their bodies in the form of "wool", which will decrease the need to synthesize resources in the future. This change can also be applied to existing models, so Gen. 1 and "Lv" tulpas may be remodeled to grow "wool" as well. Backwards compatibility with existing cores is currently not possible.
Generation 2 requires less fluffstuff overall to form, and its ability to generate fluffstuff on its own is perhaps the biggest stride we have made in its design. They are about 30% lighter than their predecessors, but overall health and body strength is not compromised in any way. Gen. 2 dream distance sight is less than that of Gen. 1, but their overall withdrawal strength is on par or greater than Gen. 1. Gen. 2 "Lv" are also able to thoughtograph with greater success; we saw a 40% increase in -mance ability as well as greater energy levels, so they tire out slower than previous models. A Gen. 2 "Lv" model may produce up to 300 thoughtographs before needing rest, with each thoughtograph lasting for potentially several extractions. We were able to arrive at this innovation by making the "wool" on the tulpa double as a sort of "psychic solar panel" that can store more energy for the tulpa as it works. This ability is still in prototype phase and will remain exclusive to "Lv" models for now. We will be introducing it to new batches of tulpas steadily.
The internals of the tulpa have been re-balanced to compensate for the restructuring of the body. A Generation 2 body is now about 78% fluffstuff, 10% oneirium, 5% oxygen, and 5-7% sodium. Including the dream core, a body's average weight is 27.2 kilograms. While this is a slight improvement from Gen. 1's average weight, both generations are capable of gaining or losing weight due to cognition, and weight does not seem to affect performance. Oneirium imbalance and dream allergies are still severe issues, and we will be able to tackle these soon thanks to the aforementioned fluffstuff innovations alleviating Dreamway's current energy crisis.
We have resolved the issue of some Generation 1 tulpas managing to achieve puberty if certain conditions were met. Generation 2 tulpas are not capable of achieving puberty under any conditions, even after cognitive viability. We have taken care to revise tulpa education to remove references to adolescence and puberty except where necessary to ensure successful dream or thoughtograph extraction. The estimated lifespan of a Gen. 2 tulpa is 5-7 years. We will monitor our new models for the common deterioration symptoms that accompany a body aging out.
Distress and Symptoms
Tulpas who are sick, under distress, or are reaching their age-out period may exhibit unusual behavior and their productivity may decrease. Here is a list of common symptoms you may see:
If your tulpa is experiencing these symptoms or exhibiting any other unusual behavior, it is important to remember the three "P's": Patience, Persistence, Product. Be patient with your tulpa as some problems may resolve on their own with proper care. Be persistent in remedying errors as quickly as possible by contacting Dreamway Support. And above all else, remember that your tulpa is a product: it can be repaired and/or replaced as long as it is within warranty.
Loops
Loops are a dangerous condition where a tulpa gets "stuck" in a dream, which may affect the tulpa's immediate surroundings. If your tulpa begins to experience Loops, please contact Dreamway Support immediately for expedited assistance. Keep all personnel and guests away from the tulpa. Do not attempt to converse with or touch the tulpa. Arrangements for a free or reduced price replacement will be made if Loops cause a significant loss in business; please fill out the appropriate forms by calling this service number: C173003001077
Puberty
Puberty is a rare condition where a Tulpa appears to "grow up" into a body similar to that of a teenage animal. If this happens, the Tulpa will lose all ability to extract dreams. They may also refuse to follow orders and obey authority. If you suspect or observe puberty-like symptoms in any of your Tulpas, please contact this service number for immediate disposal and replacement: C173003001077. Tulpa Gen 2 is not capable of reaching puberty.
