How about projection? As in, you imagine a personality/character and you project it upon yourself as to become said person. What would that fall under?

    The psychological term "projection" means something totally different. What you're describing doesn't sound like any mental health condition I'm aware of

    Pure curiosity now, as i love this stuff, but what is projection then?
    And what i meant is to go as far that the person basically becomes the 'projected' person

    Projection is an ego defense mechanism where someone denies a negative aspect of their own personality or behavior and instead accuses someone else of being that way.

    An example is someone who's guilty of something may attempt to blame others for being guilty of that thing. This is mostly an unconscious thought process, people who do it on purpose aren't projecting
