I would call him/her by the "voice in power".

Thanks :) I think that's what I'm going to end up doing.

Hmmm. Interesting one.

Whose PoV are we in?

If it's the body/voice in power, then I'd go for the name of the one who's in charge at the time. Unless they're fighting, in which case you could use either.

If it's someone else's PoV, then I'd ask who they think the possessed character is. Does the PoV character know who's speaking at any given time? Do they even know the body is possessed?

So many possibilities :)

Everyone knows about the possession here - I'm doing some major changes in Thosha with Vastim - things I hope will fix some of the issues.

I always had a problem with this when running/playing a Wraith game with Skinriders. Basically, it depends on whose point of view you want to have more of the focus. Also, if other character don't know the body is possessed, anything from their point of view wouldn't involve the voice in power.

the possessed is my POV character so it presents a different issue than what I usually have. I think I know how I'm going to play it for now. it'll be very interesting to see what my crit group thinks of it. I'm just glad the second draft is very nearly almost done! then it's cosmetics and queries
