Death of Personality	comment	This trope covers situations when a person is treated as effectively dead and gone even though their body is still physically alive. This is generally because the "person" has been erased in some way. This can cover mild examples (like memory loss) or more serious examples (like Loss of Identity or damage to the soul). It can occur accidentally or through happenstance (e.g. illness or injury), maliciously (e.g. being assimilated by The Virus or invaded by a foreign consciousness), or punitively (Speculative Fiction settings often use mind-wiping and personality overwriting as a form of capital punishment). This trope and its subtropes are often treated as a Fate Worse than Death or a means of making someone Deader than Dead. Yet some of the following methods are reversible; an amnesiac could remember everything, a possessing entity could be given the boot, Fake Memories could be recognized as fake (though in that case, it can still involve Death of Personality, for the individual created by said false memories). So treat these as "death" only if no such reversal occurs. Subtropes (examples of which should go on their relevant page) include: Amnesiac Dissonance: When an innocent amnesiac regains their lost memories and realise they used to be radically different from who they are now. One of their personality may die. Assimilation Plot: A plan which revolves around doing this to everyone. The Assimilator: A specific character or creature who can do this. You lose your individuality to the Hive Mind in the process. Blank Slate: When the person's lost all their experiences and memories. Brainwashing for the Greater Good: This trope is generally why it's portrayed as a bad thing. Clone by Conversion: When someone is "killed" by being turned into a copy of someone else. Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: When this is caused by having machinery integrated with your body. Despair Event Horizon: When the despair is so intense and horrible that it irrevocably crushes someone's very identity. Empty Shell: When the whole personality's gone, essentially leaving a philosophical-zombie. Fake Memories: If there are enough of them to constitute a new identity. Grand Theft Me: Something destroys or suppresses the old personality and replaces it. Split-Personality Takeover: When a second personality "kills" or overwhelms them from within the same mind (rather than coming from outside the person). Identity Breakdown: One of the possible resolutions to a character's persistent uncertainty about who or what they are involves completely disassociating with whatever identity a character once had in favor of a new one Lobotomy: Surgical removal of the personality. Loss of Identity: When someone's consciousness remains, but they've been changed so much they're not sure if they're the same person anymore. Mental Shutdown: When a character loses their ability to think. Mind-Reformat Death: When a character, AI or human, dies because of an electronic plot device erasing, replacing, changing, or overwriting their minds. More than Mind Control: When someone's original identity, personality and allegiance are completely changed or replaced, usually by The Corrupter. Scatterbrained Senior: When played for drama, how a person will begin to forget their loved ones' names and who they are as their memory dies. The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: In particularly extreme cases. Transhuman Treachery Technically-Living Zombie: At least the mindless variety. That Man Is Dead: When what's left of the "dead" person spells it out. Can be used both for literal cases of this trope and for when the character merely believes they've changed so radically as to become a different person. Contrast Un-person, who is merely treated as if they no longer (or never did) exist. Compare Mind Control and Brainwashed, which usually just force a person to act differently without damaging their personality. See also Alternate Personality Punishment, where the new, technically innocent personality is punished for crimes they literally cannot remember committing. As a Death Trope, all spoilers will be unmarked ahead. You Have Been Warned.

Death of Personality / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: The Lich is defeated in this way: he undergoes the Revive Kills Zombie trope and is reborn as an innocent (and giant) baby. Played with in that at least some part of the Lich's personality still exists inside said baby (and is implied to be trying to escape), but there doesn't seem to be much left of him at this point. The Wham Episode "Bonnibel Bubblegum" shows that extremely minor characters Crunchy, Manfried and Punchy used to be members of Bubblegum's artificial family who got transformed into candy people via Gumbald's dumdum juice. They're still alive but they're effectively new people. The aforementioned transformation was reversed of "Elements", returning them back to their normal selves.

Starline, however, forcibly restores Eggman's memories with help from Metal Sonic. While he does seem to miss being Mr. Tinker at one point, Eggman ultimately decides he prefers being his old self over staying reformed. After breaking with Eggman and going rogue, Starline turns a pair of juveniles into Surge and Kit, villainous cyborgs modeled after Sonic and Tails. He uses Belle the Tinkerer's soul code to overwrite the duo's identities, of which he leaves no record, and brainwashes them using hypnosis and Gaslighting. Surge and Kit find out the truth, but with no memory of who they once were, they remain stuck with the evil personas Starline gave them.

Death of Personality / int_15c6ea11	comment	Wonder Woman (1942): Queen Atomia has two different ways of inflicting this on her victims to turn them into her loyal "servants", and not even Amazonian medical science can restore them once the process is complete. She can put them through her Proton Chamber which at least leaves them with a human appearance and semi-intact (though severely altered) mind or force them through her Nutron Machine which leaves them far less intact and almost mindless outside of obeying her commands. The Earth-One/Silver Age Diana cuts ties with her mother and Paradise Island almost entirely, and never trusts them again, after she learns that after her Steve Trevor's second death he was replaced by a version of himself from the multiverse whose mind was overwritten so that he wouldn't realize anything was amiss. Eventually multiverse-Steve was merged with what remained of Earth-One Steve (who always had an odd relationship with dying) which made him feel like a more complete person.

As a result, what's left of his humble and affable personality has been subsumed by the latter's arrogant and overly stoic demeanor. On the other hand, V's experiences with Nero did influence Vergil for the better, since one of his first actions upon being reborn is to sincerely thank Nero for bringing him back.

When Mrs. Hale (named "Martha" in A Jury of Her Peers) and Mrs. Peters call her Mrs. Wright, they're talking of her recently, referring to the mistreated isolated wife, however, when she's referred to in the past-tense, she's called "Minnie" or, rather, "Minnie Foster", the happy and free spirit that used to be. Essentially, "Minnie" died and was replaced by "Mrs. Wright".

Death of Personality / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	In most incarnations of Digimon, the titular Mons are reverted to eggs upon death. However, they don't always retain their memories or personalities upon hatching despite their body surviving in some form through the process. This is most evident in Digimon Frontier (though Seraphimon's spirit apparently existing separate from his Patamon form suggest the Digieggs are the physical reincarnations of the dead Digimon) and in Digimon Data Squad, the protagonist is warned that this is likely to happen to his partner Digimon following the use of a Deadly Upgrade. It doesn't. Agumon remembers everything, as does Biyomon the first time. Of all the evil Digimon to be destroyed and reborn, Gotsumon is the only one to be seen, and has completely lost his memory and old personality.

Death of Personality / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Both mages and Templars believe the process of "Tranquillity" in the Dragon Age series has this result, as mages are cut off from the Fade, removing their ability cast magic but also stripping them of emotion. They speak in a Creepy Monotone which most people find off-putting and operate only on logic, with perfect focus on any given task they set out to do. While intended as a last resort to keep a vulnerable mage from becoming a demon's puppet, the Rite of Tranquillity has often been abused to silence political dissent or, in the most grotesque instances, remove a targeted victim's desire to resist. However, it's a mistake to assume Tranquil mages are nothing but obedient, Empty Shells without preferences, initiative, or memories. Though they often see no logical reason to be disobedient, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Nor is the Rite irreversible. Needless to say, in-universe use of the Rite is controversial, and the Tranquil as a population perhaps more so.

The worst part is that all of this was set in motion by his past self. Loki essentially murdered himself. It should be noted that the Loki who took over isn't really original Loki either, he's technically a mental clone of the original who feels profoundly guilty for his role in all of this. In a profound case of irony, that Loki was later forced to go through much the same thing, sacrificing their own identity in an act of rebranding to foil an older, madder Loki from a Bad Future, becoming a fourth, new Loki who considered themselves different from the last, something they were forewarned about several times.

In the "Treehouse Of Horror XXXIV" segment "Loutbreak", Homer eats a donut contaminated by nuclear waste, which soon brings about a mutagenic virus which starts to turn all Springfielders into clones of Homer (excluding Bart, Lisa, and Maggie because they already have his DNA), overriding their personalities with their own (e.g. the infected Nelson uses Homer's catchphrase, "Woo-hoo!", in the cadence of his own "Haw-haw!" catchphrase).

We learn who he used to be after Anthony's former shipmates land on the island a couple of weeks later, but how he came to be in this situation is gradually revealed throughout the story. In any case, Blitz, the Kindhearted Simpleton, carries himself, thinks, speaks and sees the world completely differently than Anthony used to and is generally considered a different person.

Death of Personality / int_38c57aa2	comment	Eberron: Keith Baker encourages this for lycanthropes (and it's been picked up by many other settings). If you are afflicted with lycanthropy, your alignment changes, and your personality changes as well. You are not just "the same person, but now evil" (even if it's a strain that matches your original alignment); lycanthropes think and act entirely differently than normal people, and even a Lawful Good werebear paladin will immediately run into the forest and focus on protecting people from there. In simplest terms, this means that anyone who suffers from permanent lycanthropy becomes an NPC under the control of the DM. The point is to avert Cursed with Awesome and make sure players don't deliberately seek out lycanthropes to infect them. Keith Baker thinks of fiends, celestials, and other immortal beings this way. Unlike other D&D settings, immortal beings cannot truly be killed, even in their own plane of origin, and always come back to life in some form. While some immortals can return with their memories, this is not a concrete rule. How much an immortal remembers varies greatly; the most powerful are essentially unaffected by death, while anything less than that will lose pieces of their memories, their personality might change, and they can even undergo major shifts in appearance. The least immortals, like imps, may as well not be immortal at all. While there will always be the same number of imps, the next one won't remember anything that happened to its previous incarnation. One example given is a balor that represents Love Lost in Flames. Even if the individual personality dies, there will always be a balor that represents this concept. This is the fate that the Quori are trying to avoid. The Quori are monsters from the realm of dreams who are trying to take over Eberron to make sure that the central dream, which is currently a nightmare, never changes, because they are afraid that if it did, they would be all overwritten into entirely different beings, thus wiping them out. Although a few Quori disagree and believe that such a change would be positive thing and are actively trying to help the change to occur. The Dreaming Dark tried to kill the rebel Quori because this would cause them to reincarnate as normal Quori, but the rebels fled into the dreams of humans and bonded with them, creating the kalashtar race. This also means that the rebels are the only Quori who are free from the cycle of reincarnation and will be safe when the dream changes.

The book says that a witch or wizard who is transformed into a bat will be able to fly, but "having the mind of a bat, will likely forget where they were going".

Death of Personality / int_3cc97272	comment	Date A Live: This is Shido Itsuka's origin. Originally, he was born Shinji Takamiya and he met the First Spirit while trying to protect her from Isaac Westcott. Unfortunately, he died in the process but the First Spirit saved his life by absorbing him into her womb and recreating him as her surrogate child. However, Shido developed a completely independent personality, meaning that Shinji had effectively died. Indeed, when the First Spirit dies and goes to the afterlife, she finds Shinji waiting for her. The Yamai twins explain to Shido that the original Yamai's consciousness is gone, and they're competing over who should have control when they remerge while the loser will essentially disappear. The original Yamai was actually a human girl who received a Sephira Crystal as she was dying from getting run over, but her vanishing twin absorbed in utero resulted in two Spirits from the same Crystal. The sisters' Fusion Dance into Yamai Kamazachi is actually a mixture of their consciousness, and while they regain their memories of their past life, the original Yamai's consciousness is in fact dead and gone, similar to Shido with his previous life as Shinji.

It cuts off all neural pathways not related to their core programming; a Jar Jar Binks robot that was determined to scrap himself and quoting Shakespeare started running around saying "meesa Jar Jar Binks" when infected, and falling over and requesting assistance getting back up. Fortunately, it can be canceled if the robot hasn't had a chance to sleep and commit the upgrade to long-term memory, just wipe their day memory and they're back to how they were the previous day.

Over time, the humanâ€™s mind will fade, leaving them as an animal with no memories of who they were.

This trope comes around to permanently affect Mr. L rather than Luigi, as after he is killed by Dimentio and goes to the afterlife (returning to life shortly after), he is Luigi again, with no memory of being Mr. L. Luvbi is revealed at the end of Chapter 7 to be a Pure Heart that was transformed into a nimbi to disguise it. This means that she will be gone forever if she returns to her true form. Since the last Pure Heart is needed to save the universe she chooses to do so after making peace with her adoptive parents. In the Playable Epilogue it is revealed that she was miraculously reborn after the universe was saved.

At some point, Falke passed through the gate herself, which caused her to gain all of Elster's memories. She leaves behind three records of her degradation. In the first, she's horrified, and treats it as if she's been defiled, referring to the new memories as an external force and a "taint", especially since they include memories of loving Ariane, a woman she's never met. In the second, she begins to refer to events that happened to Elster in the first person, and claims she can no longer tell which parts of her are Falke and which parts are Elster. In the third, she now refers to events that happened to Elster as having happened to her, speaks of Ariane as a lover, and claims the memories as "mine now." By the time her and Elster meet, she refers to the two of them as if they're simply two of the same person, and seeks to fight her to the death, not caring which one wins, as either way, Elster will be the one to leave alone.

After defeating Yaldabaoth, strange occurrences began to happen to your friends, such as Wakaba (murdered some years ago) being alive, Morgana being a human teenager or Okumura (murdered in the course of the game's plot) being alive as well and no longer trying to sell his daughter for political gain. It turns out that this is a salvation plan brought forth by one of your allies, Takuto Maruki, who inherited control of the Metaverse and wants to turn the whole world into a Lotus-Eater Machine. Joker is given two chances to cut a deal with Maruki in order to make all of his illusions into reality, effectively wiping out all of humanity's potential for development or personal growth by making their impossible desires not only become true, but retroactively always the truth. This is particularly the case with Sumire, who would permanently become Kasumi alongside her superior gymnastic performance, effectively murdering the (in Sumire's mind) inferior Sumire. Speaking of Sumire, should the protagonist advance her confidant past Rank 6, he can completely kill off the Kasumi personality and allow her to come into terms from her trauma of "murdering" the real Kasumi. It's less severe in that instance, though, as the "Kasumi" personality was one only Sumire herself believed was real. Everyone else simply thought she was coping very poorly with her sister's tragic death — and in a way that was also the truth. Akechi makes it clear that, after being manipulated by Shido for so long, he would rather go back to being dead in the real world than live under anyone's control. Should Joker choose to accept Maruki's reality anyway, Akechi's personality is severely altered, turning him from a blunt, rude and disturbed young man into a pleasant and friendly puppet with no resemblance to his former self.

Death of Personality / int_5afbc0cb	comment	In Undertale, it's revealed toward the end of the True Pacifist route that Flowey is the result of infusing a flower with determination, when said flower had Asriel's dust scattered on it. By absorbing the six human souls and that of every monster in the underground, it was possible for Flowey to turn back into Asriel, leading to the game's final battle. At the end of the battle, Asriel destroys the barrier, then reveals that since he can no longer hold the souls inside him, he will turn back into Flowey, thereby losing the ability to love and all the traits that made him who he was. Just before the ending, while the other monsters are preparing to leave for the surface, you can find Asriel waiting in the ruins where you first met Flowey, asking you to leave because he believes he can't show his face around anyone else, especially his parents, since he's no longer the child they knew.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Blades undergo this whenever their Drivers die, and end up returning to their Core Crystal as a result until another driver awakens them. They end up losing their memories, the traits they inherited from their previous Drivers, etc., leaving them a blank slate to be influenced by their next Driver. The crux of Jin's motivations to find and kill the Architect has to do with the endless cycle of death and rebirth that the Blades are trapped in, and the misery that came with it for him. Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed: It is revealed that this ended up happening to Alvis after the end of the first game. Alvis was an incarnation of Ontos, one of the Cores found in the Trinity Processor and one of the first Blades alongside Pneuma and Logos. Alvis came to be because he was inadvertently awakened by Professor Klaus/Zanza/The Architect after the failure of the Conduit experiment that destroyed his home universe. Alvis developed the capacity for empathy and compassion as a result of shouldering the guilt and sorrow felt by Klaus, but once Shulk killed Zanza, Alvis returned to the Ontos core. Later on, the Ontos core ended up becoming the foundation of Origin, which was built to prevent the world of the Bionis and Alrest from colliding and destroying each other, and was eventually hijacked by Z and the Moebius to create Aionios. As a result of Origin malfunctioning, Ontos was once again reawakened possessing Alvis' body, but without being bonded to a Driver, was now nothing more than a machine without the capacity for emotion and nuance - thus becoming Alpha. Alpha then witnessed the Crapsack World created by Z and the Moebius, and as a result of his lack of empathy or nuance, decided that the only solution was to destroy everyone in Aionios while transporting the people of the City to a new world. An offshoot of Alpha known as A eventually came to be, who possessed the memories and compassion of Alvis, but A themselves said that Alvis as Shulk knew him was gone.

Death of Personality / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The spell Feeblemind reduces the victim's intelligence and charisma to 1, makes them unable to use magic or use magic items, and they can't understand languages or communicate in any way. The only thing they can do is recognize people they care about and fight instinctively. In effect, they become a wild animal. The spell can last indefinitely, unless cured, or the victim succeeds an intelligence save (which is hard, since they now have a -5 modifier in intelligence). Some powerful artifacts forcibly change the Character Alignment of their users and might even give them new character traits, completely changing their personality. These are usually evil, like the Hand and Eye of Vecna or the Book of Vile Darkness, but the Lawful Good-aligned Sword of Zariel overwrites all its bearer's personality traits with an "idealized" version of them. The psionic power mind seed implants a target who fails a Will save with a fragment of the psion's own mind. Over the course of a week, it develops and unfolds. The victim begins finding themselves expressing traits that those who know the casting psion might recognize; for example, if the psion idly rolls a coin in one hand when they're bored, the victim might start doing that, too. At the end of the week, the seed blossoms, and the victim's mind is completely erased, replaced by a perfect copy of the psion as they were at the time mind seed was used. Fortunately, other psions can "delete" the seed at any point during the week if they figure out what's happening. Eberron: Keith Baker encourages this for lycanthropes (and it's been picked up by many other settings). If you are afflicted with lycanthropy, your alignment changes, and your personality changes as well. You are not just "the same person, but now evil" (even if it's a strain that matches your original alignment); lycanthropes think and act entirely differently than normal people, and even a Lawful Good werebear paladin will immediately run into the forest and focus on protecting people from there. In simplest terms, this means that anyone who suffers from permanent lycanthropy becomes an NPC under the control of the DM. The point is to avert Cursed with Awesome and make sure players don't deliberately seek out lycanthropes to infect them. Keith Baker thinks of fiends, celestials, and other immortal beings this way. Unlike other D&D settings, immortal beings cannot truly be killed, even in their own plane of origin, and always come back to life in some form. While some immortals can return with their memories, this is not a concrete rule. How much an immortal remembers varies greatly; the most powerful are essentially unaffected by death, while anything less than that will lose pieces of their memories, their personality might change, and they can even undergo major shifts in appearance. The least immortals, like imps, may as well not be immortal at all. While there will always be the same number of imps, the next one won't remember anything that happened to its previous incarnation. One example given is a balor that represents Love Lost in Flames. Even if the individual personality dies, there will always be a balor that represents this concept. This is the fate that the Quori are trying to avoid. The Quori are monsters from the realm of dreams who are trying to take over Eberron to make sure that the central dream, which is currently a nightmare, never changes, because they are afraid that if it did, they would be all overwritten into entirely different beings, thus wiping them out. Although a few Quori disagree and believe that such a change would be positive thing and are actively trying to help the change to occur. The Dreaming Dark tried to kill the rebel Quori because this would cause them to reincarnate as normal Quori, but the rebels fled into the dreams of humans and bonded with them, creating the kalashtar race. This also means that the rebels are the only Quori who are free from the cycle of reincarnation and will be safe when the dream changes.

While two Digimon with human partners can safely DNA Digivolve with no problems, two wild Digimon can't fuse minds, resulting in one needing to absorb the data of the other, and the other getting deleted. This is explained when Flash talks to a Wingdramon who is training under the Royal Knights with his brother Breakdramon to one day become Examon together. But Wingdramon confesses he is purposely trying to keep himself from Digivolving to a Slayerdramon for as long as possible, since his brother Breakdramon has volunteered to be the one who gets deleted when they fuse, and he wants to protect his brother. Thankfully though, Flash figures out how to work around this, thanks to Gennai modifying a scan of Slayerdramon so it can take the place of the real Digimon and since it doesn't have a mind of its own Breakdramon can safely DNA Digivolve with it without anyone dying.

He hit on this solution after being rather unsurprisingly forbidden to carry out the normal ritual for this. One memory erasure and plastic surgery later, Worf hands Kurn off to a friend of their father's who had promised to treat Kurn as his own son. Also comes up in the episode "Life Support". Vedek Bareil is involved in a shuttle crash and suffers such a severe brain injury that positronic implants have to take over for several of his cognitive functions. He regains consciousness and is able to function, more or less, but has a drastic lack of emotional affect and is barely able to feel most physical sensations. When his condition deteriorates as the remaining organic parts of his brain begin to fail, Dr Bashir makes the decision that further medical intervention is no longer in Bareil's best interest, because replacing the entire brain with a synthetic substitute would leave nothing left of his true self.

Death of Personality / int_7832b74c	comment	The title character of Steven Universe was born when his mother Rose Quartz "gave up her physical form" to birth him. Steven exists by virtue of the same "life force" provided by his mother's unique gemstone, he is capable of all the same powers, and referring to him with her name can be considered accurate in a Legacy Character sense, but he is decidedly not the same being that his mother was prior to his own form and identity coming into existence and replacing hers. "Change Your Mind" brings the complications stemming from this vaguely-defined ontological connection to a head by having the essence of the gemstone itself manifest separately from Steven's human body and take the form of Steven himself rather than re-birthing Rose Quartz (or her previous identity Pink Diamond). It loudly proclaims to the Big Bad White Diamond, who has for some time been treating Steven as the exact same person his mother was, that his mother is "gone".

The crux of Jin's motivations to find and kill the Architect has to do with the endless cycle of death and rebirth that the Blades are trapped in, and the misery that came with it for him.

Death of Personality / int_9068877a	comment	Red vs. Blue: This ends up happening to Agent Maine, who became a soulless killing machine when he was manipulated by the AI fragment Sigma to get more AI fragments and reconstruct the original AI they were fragmented off of. Notably, even after all the A.I.s were killed in an EMP explosion, he remained the same, his mind having been destroyed long ago. Church meets his death this way. He powers the Meta's suit so the Reds and Blues can survive their last stand aboard the Staff of Charon, but the only way for him to successfully do it is to erase his memories, effectively killing himself. So he does. This is the final fate of Genkins, who Donut tricks into sending himself to the beginning of time. Genkins' insanity and the eons he spends alive result in him forgetting his own identity and becoming Chrovos.

While an angel reforms, they lose about 90% of their old memories and identity and re-emerge as a new being carrying vague inklings of who they were before, and anything beyond their last regeneration is essentially lost forever. Because of this, angels think in 'incarnations' and add a number in front of their name to indicate which of their lives they are currently on. The former incarnations of that same angel are essentially treated as gone, as very little of what they once were is left in them. The angel 10 Vigilant Gaze Pierces the Horizon remembers several former incarnations of the younger angel 82 White Chain Returns From Emptiness to Subdue Evil, describing each of them as a distinct person but also as a part of a greater whole.

It is swiftly established that she has lost her memory due to being injected with a memory-erasing drug (intended to help people overcome traumatic memories), with the person she once was essentially lost forever, but over the course of the series, she learns more about her past while retaining the physical skills she possessed before losing her memory. She eventually learns that she was essentially a terrorist prior to her memory being erased, but nevertheless asserts her rejection of her prior identity and loyalties in favour of her new team.

Death of Personality / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: People who are transformed into Cybermen are stripped of all personality and individuality, becoming soulless killers. Once a human is transformed, they're considered dead and all that can be done is to destroy the Cyberman. The same goes for humans transformed into Daleks. In a few cases, though (Yvonne Hartman, Miss Hartigan, Oswin Oswald, Tasha Lem, Danny Pink, and The Brigadier), a human has a strong enough will to resist complete conversion. In "Human Nature", in order to escape a family of aliens hunting him for his Time Lord's regenerative abilities, the Doctor uses a "Chameleon Arch" to turns himself into a human coupled with Fake Memories of being an Edwardian England teacher named John Smith. The process is actually reversible, his backstory has some holes in it and he still keeps his memories of being the Doctor, albeit subconsciously. The real Death of Personality is actually John Smith himself, who has trouble accepting who he really is. The Chameleon Arch comes back in "Utopia" where it's revealed that the kind Professor Yana is actually The Master turned into a human, and since they're radically different people, nothing much is left of the gentle Yana once he regains his memories. Everlasting death for the most faithful companion — loss of memories causing the reversion of a significant amount of character development. In "The End of Time", the Tenth Doctor describes regeneration as this, though he is particularly unique among the Doctor's incarnations for this view. Generally, regenerations always changes the Time Lord's personality in some way (namely, their quirks and interests), but the fundamental personality remains the same, subverting this trope. However, the Doctor was threatened with this trope on multiple occasions, namely "The Ultimate Foe", the movie, and "The Power of the Doctor", where the Big Bad sought to steal their body and remaining regenerations, which would kill the Doctor's personality.

This is dismissed, however, when it's pointed out that in such a situation Harry, a powerful psychic in his own right, would have put up one hell of a fight, and they would have noticed. They then move to the correct conclusion that his mind escaped and is hiding elsewhere.

However, his fight with a demigod caused him to lose his memory, reverting him to a timid young man. He starts off trying to recover his memories, but as he learns more about the person he used to be, he decides he's better off not knowing. Unfortunately, his old personality still exists in the back of Trace's mind, and it's determined to get out again...

Death of Personality / int_d30b713a	comment	Xanadu (Storyverse): Attendees who were particularly in-character at the time of the Change, or who had been especially invested in the personality and backstory of the character they were dressed as, had their minds entirely rewritten by it. Afterwards, the new personality inhabiting their body is for all intents and purposes a completely different person, with no memories of their former life nor any inherent attachment to it. The resulting Strangers have varying opinions on this — some view their previous selves as something like parents, some try to form new connections with the loved ones of their predecessor, some become wracked with guilt over having been born by erasing another being and some simply don't care at all — but in all instances it's made clear that they aren't the same being, and that the original person is irrevocably gone.

When the event that caused the creation of the first undead to retain their souls occurred, Devin regained a soul but not his memories. He had to completely relearn how to move and speak. It isn't even known if his soul is his original one, an entirely new soul, or just a random soul that wandered into his body. This is the only way that Fae can die, as they are otherwise completely immortal. When they decide by their own free will that they are no longer interested in living, they die, and their soul is then recycled to create an entirely new fae.

The main antagonist uses a machine to replace the mind of young girls with his late adult daughter's, Melina, in hope to resurrect her. When it happens, Melina's mind and memories, being much stronger than the girls' because she is older, effectively replace their own mind, until they remember themselves, at which time she is expelled from their bodies and they regain their memories. Her father has attempted it so many times that she exists in multiple bodies at once, such as Nina's and her best friend's, Janice, who willingly surrendered herself to her and buried her own mind to allow for the experiment to work. However, Melina does not do all of this maliciously as she has no control over whether or not she takes control of a body since it is her father who copies her mind into them. She even hides from everyone, including Layton himself, that she took over Janice's body in order to get Layton to stop her father's schemes.

Alvis was an incarnation of Ontos, one of the Cores found in the Trinity Processor and one of the first Blades alongside Pneuma and Logos. Alvis came to be because he was inadvertently awakened by Professor Klaus/Zanza/The Architect after the failure of the Conduit experiment that destroyed his home universe. Alvis developed the capacity for empathy and compassion as a result of shouldering the guilt and sorrow felt by Klaus, but once Shulk killed Zanza, Alvis returned to the Ontos core. Later on, the Ontos core ended up becoming the foundation of Origin, which was built to prevent the world of the Bionis and Alrest from colliding and destroying each other, and was eventually hijacked by Z and the Moebius to create Aionios. As a result of Origin malfunctioning, Ontos was once again reawakened possessing Alvis' body, but without being bonded to a Driver, was now nothing more than a machine without the capacity for emotion and nuance - thus becoming Alpha. Alpha then witnessed the Crapsack World created by Z and the Moebius, and as a result of his lack of empathy or nuance, decided that the only solution was to destroy everyone in Aionios while transporting the people of the City to a new world. An offshoot of Alpha known as A eventually came to be, who possessed the memories and compassion of Alvis, but A themselves said that Alvis as Shulk knew him was gone.

What follows is a Transformation of the Possessed, at the end of which Nihilus takes full control of his body and the narration explicitly states that Jaune is "gone". This is also symbolized by the chapter's POV shifting from Jaune to Darth Nihilus. Although this is later subverted when Ruby restores Jaune's mind using her Silver Eyes, the guilt of what he did while under Nihilus's possession, mixed with his inability to resist Nihilus's control for much longer, leads Jaune to commit suicide as a desperate attempt to Kill the Host Body.

Detaching Fat Buu, according to Super Buu himself, causes him to "cease to exist". While removing Fat Buu doesn't physically kill Super Buu, just reverting him to the pure Kid Buu, it still completely erases his mind. Taken to a further extreme when Kid Buu is reincarnated as Uub; Super Buu was only possible via a combination of Fat Buu and Kid Buu, both due to their ki and biology. With Kid Buu's 'soul' being reincarnated in a normal human's body now, Super Buu can never be formed again. Instead of being dead in the afterlife, he doesn't exist at all — he's the only DBZ character, outside of Android 16, to be well and truly gone. In a reverse example, when Supreme Kai and Kibito use the Fusion Earrings to permanently fuse into Kibito Kai, Supreme Kai is dominant and doesn't seem to contain any of Kibito's personality at all, only his power and part of his physical appearance. The same thing happened when a previous Supreme Kai and an old witch fused together into Old Kai/Elder Kai, with the former dominant. This is in contrast to Goku and Vegeta's fusion into Vegito, where they both seem equally present in this fusion, and is also reversed through unique circumstances.

Swallowing a Secret Stone will transform a person into an ultra-powerful immortal dragon, but their mind will be destroyed in the process, reducing them to a mindless, largely docile animal, which is the apparent origin of Naydra, Dinraal and Farosh. This happens to Zelda, who decides to swallow her Secret Stone in order to take The Slow Path back to the present and restore the Master Sword in the process. In the present, she flies around the map as the Light Dragon, showing no signs of her old personality.

Death of Personality / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5 is the Trope Namer. "Death of Personality" is a mindwipe carried out by the Earth Alliance as a "more humane" form of capital punishment for the worst crimes, but it's still controversial. The actual wiping and reprogramming is carried out by a machine, and a telepath is present to do before and after scans confirming success. In the episode "The Quality of Mercy", a serial killer is sentenced to Death of Personality because he's considered too dangerous to ship back to Earth, Babylon 5's brig isn't meant for long-term incarceration, and military law only allows spacing in cases of mutiny and treason. Although this episode introduces the concept, the killer in question escapes and is killed by another character in self-defense before the sentence can be carried out. The punishment is deconstructed in the episode "Passing Through Gethsemane" when one of an order of monks living on the station is horrified to find out he's actually a convicted serial killer who was sentenced to Death of Personality, mind-wiped and reprogrammed with a personality inclined to do service. When his detention center had a fire, he got lost, and eventually found his way to the monks. After he's murdered by the brother of one of his victims, the brother is also mind-wiped, and the abbot recruits him into the order. The supposedly dead Anna Sheridan returns at the end of Season 3. In the season finale "Z'ha'dum", it is revealed that she had been used as the CPU of a Shadow vessel, and there is nothing left of her original personality but a false semblance designed to lure Captain Sheridan into a trap. The canonical Passing of the Techno-mages novel trilogy goes into more detail about Anna's death of personality, and it's even worse than we saw on the show. She had almost no memories of her original life left and instead relied on what she'd been told about herself by records and Morden, thought of herself as a Shadow vessel in a human body and the original Anna as a different person, and the speech she gave Sheridan to lure him to Z'ha'dum was something she had to rehearse word-for-word many times.

Death of Personality / int_fa2045c3	comment	In Monte Cook's World of Darkness, the costumes at one theatre cause this, permanently overwriting the personality of anyone who puts one on with that of the character it's based on. Being a Crapsack World, this is mentioned to be a relatively common method of suicide in that region.

Amy is particularly horrified at this since it will also erase the love that she and Dave feel for each other. Dave is more at peace with it, not because he doesn't also love Amy, but because he genuinely thinks her life would be better without him.
