a tulpa is more like having another fully living human being in your head, whereas an imaginary friend is like a puppet.
they are supposed to be a fully sentient being, with their own ideas, opinions, feelings, etc, created with a portion of your subconcious feelings with a personality built around that, and then "separated" from the rest of your mind.
you could say its like partitioning a hard drive on a computer for another user.
a character, whether you made them up or not, can work as a template for your tulpa. if you think about them enough and really concentrate, eventually they will take on a life of their own. just don't freak out when you hear their voice out of nowhere.
question: do the fully developed characters talk to you? have you suddenly hear them call your name or try to get your attention?
Oh, no, nothing like that. I think that would be kind of cool though. I have had something similar to what you describe, but I didn't like it, because it felt evil and mean (the seperated part of my subconscious) and i didn't create it on purpose.
do you have a tulpa?
