Alright, I have some questions about how to handle this character, as I'm strongly considering taking him from a canon point where he's either mostly incorporeal or possessing someone.
"Mostly incorporeal" means Ankh has a body but he's missing most of it. He's a forearm and hand that floats and somehow manages to speak. (See the crazy arm in the icon; outside of possessing someone, that's all he currently is.) He did at one point have a full body, so it seems hypothetically possible for him spontaneously grow the rest of it back here, but I'm not sure if that's how that works or not.
Alternately, he canonly makes up for the lack of a body by possessing someone (the guy in the picture). Shingo, his host, is usually unconscious; Ankh possessed him initially when he had passed out from injuries. That said, he canonly maintains some awareness of things that are going on around him, and occasionally wakes up for short periods of time, during which Ankh can't possess him until he either passes out again or Ankh knocks him out. Shingo is by no means a major character, and the incidents of him waking up are not often, but he is a character, so I'm not sure whether it would be acceptable to bring in a typically but not always unconscious host character along with my primary character.
What advice do you have for this scenario? It would be possible to pick a canon point that avoids the confusion, but I'd like to see if I can make this workable.
