Whisper

Whispers are a type of AI assistant, acting as both a companion and an extension to a user's personality. The Whisper is as much a part of user's mind as it is a distinctive entity of its own right. Whispers are mostly used by Bound beings, due to providing little use to acausal beings.

Description
A Whisper usually takes no form of its own, being part of its user's mind. Some Whispers, however, do make use of mobile avatars as a way to directly interact with the world separate from its user. A Whisper is created from a user's mind, using the memories and personality of the being as a base template for other traits to be edited in and added to. After the Whisper has been formed this way, it is then activated and runs as something akin to a separate personality or alter-ego of the same mind.

One of the main functions of a Whisper is to act as a companion to more social beings during periods of extended isolation, such as some field roles or work outside inhabited space. Whispers are often also used to perform tasks that the main personality of a being may dislike for whatever reason, and sometimes as a way to compartmentalise information. The loss of a Whisper is often detrimental cognitively and emotionally to a great degree for a being, much in the same way as a mind missing some of its key traits and components. Most beings that lose their Whisper have to spend an adjusting period to re-acclimate to life without a companion and part of their being.

In whatever capacity a Whisper exists, they tend to form a vital part of the being's life they are part of, due to their nature as a part of a being's mind and personality.
