That's art but not the same kind I was asking/wondering about. That's more performative art, or "the arts", than the kind of thing you'd learn to form in an art class.

It's a term in the artist community to refer to characters that are standalone, as in they aren't from a particular work of fiction, which are in turn stereotypically (but not always) used for purposes of roleplaying.
It's more of a hypothetical question, but I've heard someone on here put forward the idea that this site should be in the fediverse, which inspired the question.
Having read all of this a few times and thinking about each thing being talked about, there is one thing that comes to my mind: discounts
I remember when I was little, there were certain places like the movie theater or certain venues that have a "partnership discount system". They would treat groups of people with under a certain number of people as a singular individual, more or less, or favorably in certain aspects. They'd make the whole experience this way. If you showed up with a friend, you'd get more out of the experience than if you showed up on your own. Probably how the occupation/client aspect mentioned would work. So there are small social engineering tricks I'm sure which can combine in a contrived way to make a system that entices the middle of Maslow's needs to be fulfilled.
Something like that in of itself just requires privately enforced discretion.
Happy cake day!
So like merged into your mother then? How does/would that work?
