State Based Consciousness

The sci-fi drama I recently watched introduces a interesting notion. A world in which people inner connections can be transferred to other states. This mean they people are actually shuffling the make-up of their Avartar.akin to a game.

Why would people intrinsically change who they are ? Could it be as a means of propelling themselves forward or a means of protection

In the most extreme case a person could transfer from an almost God-like Avartar to a Devil-like state. There some clear advantages and disadvantage of such a maneouver.

Looking at the advantages :
- personal consciousness is not as heavy hand
- is more tactile
- is more stealth
- can more easily enjoy Earth fruits

How about other Avartars ?
- Child - Seeks attention
- Comedian - Seeks to outwit
- Artist - Seeks to be understood
- Scientists - Seeks control
- Depressed - Seek to underplay
- Decepticons - Seek to use
- Aloof - Seek downtime
- Vulture - Seek power

As much as there are negative with these states there also clear positive

Is there a way that people in the book conjure up a solution such that people that are either red-pill or blue-pill transformed to a slowly to a better world .

Switching avartar must play havoc when trying to maintain certain virtue. How do people deal with such conflicts.
