Dissonant (Untrained)
There is something inside you and there are thoughts that aren't your own.
Host (Dabbler)
You have a better sense of your new world and know what you're sharing it with. It's not comfortable, but you're learning to live with it.
Imposter (Novice)
You've come to some kind of agreement with this new mind inside your head. You seem to have the same goal. At least, that's what you think.
Invoker (Apprentice)
Do these thoughts sound like your own sometimes? It's not so alien anymore--the human brain is so adaptable, isn't it?
Steward (Master)
You are comfortable with the Other inside your own mind. You move as one, and hold the same things sacrosanct.
Covenant (Legendary)
Were you ever a separate entity? You and your Passenger have melded so completely that the flow of thoughts flickers between.
