Alter ego

An alter ego ("the other I") is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person or character, who is often oblivious to the persona's actions. A person with an alter ego is often said to lead a double life.

In Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW), an alter ego is a term applied in character and out of character.

In character
Within a fictional setting under LPW, an e-wrestler may have an alter ego whose behavior, speech, or thoughts are different than the normal actions taken by the primary character.

The most popular example is of Ash Strife's alter ego, Crazy Ash Killa, who was a demon within Strife who lusted to take control of all his actions.

Out of character
Out of character, the e-wrestler of the writer (or handler) may also be termed as an alter ego.
