Living Memory	comment	The flesh is weak compared to the mind, heart and soul, especially when in the throes of passionate emotion. Some places are especially malleable to psychic phenomena. Combine the two and you have the Living Memory, an echo of a person who either is still alive or has definitively gone on to a final reward (or punishment). The Living Memory is a very strange "being" and similar to ghosts in a lot of ways. Physically they're usually intangible (though Your Mind Makes It Real can make them dangerous regardless), but some are in physical (though probably non-human) bodies. They may be fully sapient and can be reasoned with, a chunk of memories with a bit of personality, or just vinyl records on an endless loop. What they all have in common is that they are not the real deal, the original, just an eerie simulacrum... and some even realize it. When characters encounter a living memory, it's usually a highly emotional encounter. The Living Memory may distress the character emotionally, try to attack them... or offer encouragement and absolution for past sins. Like we said, Living Memories are strange. This trope has a few variants. The character has a piece of their soul split off and haunt a person or location. This is especially common if the character "removed their dark side", in which case their Heartless will torment loved ones. The Living Memory is inside another character's head due to side effects from a Mental Fusion. A good chunk of the Split Personality tropes may apply, for good and ill. There's no soul or anything of the like involved, the place itself is a Genius Loci and is using the psychic/spiritual equivalent of a plaster mold of the Living Memory's original as a marionette, constantly replaying past events. Due to Time Travel related shenanigans, a long dead character can still make the Special Guest Star spot without actually coming back to life. The Virtual Ghost is an AI construct with the personality and memories of the character, or a (near) exact copy via Brain Uploading. NOTE: If the original it's based on is dead, then it's a Virtual Ghost and the example should go there. Compare Ghost Memory, where someone's memories are implanted or transferred into someone else's mind. See also the Pensieve Flashback, where characters enter a memory as observers.

In some cases, this involves memories of the dead being animated, as with the woman whose abuser comes back from the grave, still bearing the wounds she inflicted when she killed him in self-defense. The paranormal researcher Susan also says that she's encountered a few ghosts in her time, and they've all been just external projections of memories of the deceased, either memories held by some still-living person or somehow imprinted on the environment.

You don't necessarily have to have died to generate them — at one point, Blake Thorburn, the protagonist, encounters several ghosts that he left in his Dark and Troubled Past.

Characters of particular note are Dessa, who is in charge of the Fractals Project, and Arkk, her son, who's trying to destroy all the fractals to free themselves from the loop they're stuck in. They eventually realize they aren't the originals and reconcile after coming to terms with the nature of their existence, before the fractal loops again and returns them to their antagonistic relationship.

Living Memory / int_1a17ff62	comment	The Way Series: In Eon, Hexamon citizens can create "partials", which are (usually shallow) copies of a personality that can act independently, for use in dangerous situations or if a person is simply not available for some reason, and which can be re-integrated into the original person's memory once their task is complete. Partials are usually aware of their nature, but aren't bothered by it (presumably because the personality they come from isn't). It's considered mildly impolite to send one when you were expected to turn up in person. Also, once a citizen has used both of their state-allocated physical incarnations, they're stored as a Virtual Ghost in the City Memory, where they can still communicate with other people by digital means (and be reincarnated again if there's ever a need).

Living Memory / int_233dd948	comment	The Red vs. Blue: The Recollection trilogy focuses on the Alpha AI, a smart AI created from the brain of the Director of Project Freelancer, in the same vein as those featured in Halo (see the Video Games folder above). Because of the various torturous experiments performed on it, the Alpha was forced to separate its worst memories from itself, creating yet another AI that contains all of the Director's and the Alpha's most anguished memories. Meanwhile, the Alpha (who caused Identity Amnesia through its actions) ended up reliving much of the same life events (read: failures, most notably the frustration generated by pursuing a lost love) that defined the Director's life. The final series in the trilogy, Revelation, reveals that this process is a cycle, wherein the new AI will follow in the Alpha's footsteps and eventually fragment off those memories into yet another AI, which will fragment the memories again into another AI, ad nauseum. The Epsilon AI, the last in the chain thus far, believes it has finally figured out how to break the cycle. However, Word of God confirms that all on-screen events, with the exception of the Blood Gulch sequences in season 9, are real. The recursive cycle only occurs within the memory storage unit while Epsilon searches for Tex, who is also trapped somewhere inside it. Also, since the cycle of events begins well after Epsilon fragmented from Alpha, further fragmentation is not part of the process.

While only Wisely and the Millennium Earl fully recall the past 7,000 years, the memories do tend to cause emotional reactions to things that range from feeling recognition of the Noah's original name to crying when a Noah dies to urges to kill Exorcists while in their presence, not to mention causing them to... see things in mirrors. This is made for a stronger trope when Allen Walker meets the deceased Nea, the 14th Noah, in his head.

Living Memory / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the person behind the mysterious attacks at Hogwarts turns out to be a living memory of Lord Voldemort from when he was at school. At first, he could only communicate via the diary he was preserved in, but once he got Ginny Weasley to trust him with enough secrets, he grew steadily more powerful. The entity referred to itself as an animated memory. Four books later, it turned out that the diary was one of multiple Horcruxes Voldemort created, although this was by far the most dangerous. The many ghosts that dwell in Hogwarts may be this as well: some characters state they are souls that refused to pass on, but others (such as the notoriously cynical Professor Snape) describe them as magical "imprints" of the once-living person. It's never explored in much detail, but the animated portraits of deceased persons seem to work this way. They have the personality of the deceased (or at least an approximation thereof), and at least some of their memories, but it's unclear whether they have free will or the ability to truly act of their own accord. (According to All There in the Manual, they are only as accurate to their originals as the magician-artist's understanding of the model was.)

Harry himself gets an eyeful of this in Blood Rites when a meeting with his unknown half-brother results in a pre-recorded vision of his dead mother. The Denarian demons work similarly to this, being trapped inside their coins but able to grant their shape and powers to their bearer even if they don't have the actual coin. More specifically, Lasciel imprints a copy of herself into Dresden's brain when he inadvertently touches her coin. Harry promptly buries her coin inside an insulating magic circle and pours concrete over it, doing his best to protect himself from its corrupting influence. She freely admits that she's not actually Lasciel, just a copy that lives in his brain, but she's still able to grant Harry several useful abilities as much as he permits her to. The copy spends years tempting him to let her out of her prison before she finally dies absorbing a psychic attack.

In Legion, the ruined eredar capital of Mac'aree was abandoned after the majority of their race joined the Legion. Memories of the eredar who lived during that fateful time manifest as spirits that repeat the same events over and over again.

They almost always recreate images of their death or what they were thinking most about when they died, like a 3-dimensional movie, at the same place, over and over. Variant phantoms may be sounds or smells. Technically "monsters", but without a rhyme or reason to their existence beyond accidentally scaring or warning a passer-by, and nearly indestructible (dispelled only via remove curse spell).

Living Memory / int_9068877a	comment	Red vs. Blue: The Red vs. Blue: The Recollection trilogy focuses on the Alpha AI, a smart AI created from the brain of the Director of Project Freelancer, in the same vein as those featured in Halo (see the Video Games folder above). Because of the various torturous experiments performed on it, the Alpha was forced to separate its worst memories from itself, creating yet another AI that contains all of the Director's and the Alpha's most anguished memories. Meanwhile, the Alpha (who caused Identity Amnesia through its actions) ended up reliving much of the same life events (read: failures, most notably the frustration generated by pursuing a lost love) that defined the Director's life. The final series in the trilogy, Revelation, reveals that this process is a cycle, wherein the new AI will follow in the Alpha's footsteps and eventually fragment off those memories into yet another AI, which will fragment the memories again into another AI, ad nauseum. The Epsilon AI, the last in the chain thus far, believes it has finally figured out how to break the cycle. However, Word of God confirms that all on-screen events, with the exception of the Blood Gulch sequences in season 9, are real. The recursive cycle only occurs within the memory storage unit while Epsilon searches for Tex, who is also trapped somewhere inside it. Also, since the cycle of events begins well after Epsilon fragmented from Alpha, further fragmentation is not part of the process. After the events of up to Season 10, Epsilon developed a habit of simulating the other Alpha fragments from his own memories of them, long after the original fragments are destroyed. He splits up different tasks between them during battle. Though they act more or less the same as their original counterparts, they are aware of just being Epsilon's memories, as the second Delta is quick to remind Epsilon of. In the Season 13 finale, Epsilon concludes that he doesn't have the processing power to help his friends out of a tight spot, and decides that his main "Church" self is just holding him back too much. He intends to erase this main self and give his memory buddies enough strength to save the day for him.

This leads to some confusion when Sora meets a Donald, Mickey, and Goofy who don't remember him. The Big Bad uses this to his advantage, confusing Sora and Riku about his true plan which involves making real copies of himself. Also of note, everyone from The World Ends with You except for Joshua is this. Joshua explains that after their world fell to the Heartless, he journeyed to Traverse Town and put his friends back together with "piece of their dreams". This revelation helps Riku to figure out the Big Bad's plan before it's too late.

Living Memory / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: Pretty much the entire supporting cast of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories are literal living memories of Sora's who are playing out (and being deleted) via NaminÃ©'s powers. Of special interest is the Riku Replica, a creation of Vexen's who is identical to Riku (albeit with more access to dark powers) and survives the end of the story in a (manga exclusive) gag ending. In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, Xion is a clone of Sora made entirely out of memories. As such, her tragic death causes everyone to forget that she ever existed in the first place.

Living Memory / int_fbf33963	comment	Mal in Inception is literally Cobb's memory of his dead wife which has taken on a life of its own (her own?) in his dreams and any other dreams he enters. Said life generally involves sabotaging whatever Cobb's trying to do, in an attempt to make him commit suicide like she did, thinking that she was still dreaming and unable to wake up. The reason this particular memory is so powerful is the guilt Cobb feels for accidentally driving his wife to suicide.
