Band of brothers: [Major] by Iczer
'Yes I'm Nightwatchman. I'm just the miguel sanchez Nightwatchman, not the robert Carter Nightwatchman. can we get pizza?'
The character has a backup body that leads it's own life. when created, the body is generated like any other person, albeit spontaneously and without much qualifications, and is free to roam the world as he chooses. the body is not necessarilly a physical match for the character, and is typically an ethnic match for the location he appears in.
The body materialises, naked within 2d4x100 miles from the character, with the eqivilant of a single highschool program, normal life skills, 4 secondary skills and a general feeling that he is somehow incomplete. He makes way in the world as he chooses.
The character Is aware of his other self in the vaguest of fashions. he instinctively knows the names and faces of his alternate body's friends and family, and recognises places familiar to him. The character can also switch minds with his backup. when he does this, the backup gains all of the characters powers and memories and skills, while retaining the backup's appearance and physical traits. the original body loses it's powers and the backup will find himself trapped in an unfamiliar body in a different place.
When the character dies, he may permanently switch with the backup, essentially attaining a kind of ressurection.
The character starts with 2 backups, and gains an additional backup every level. Each backup should be generated by the character. When a character inhabits the body of a backup, attribute bonuses for powers kick in immediately. Physical bonuses and SDC from physical skills will return over the next 2d6 weeks.
