The word is "gestalt", by the by. It's from the German, and I think it arose in English from psychotherapy.
: I often wondered if ya mixed in the qualities of the people from the : series, what type of person you would get.
A scary thought.
I think you'd get something a lot like Avon but less able to act on his/her colder inclinations. Because Avon strikes me as already plenty conflicted but suppressing, but I don't think he'd be able to suppress if he were only 1/7th (-ish) of the mix.
Vila would bring more timidity and more cunning. Soolin, a certain practicality. Tarrant would counter Soolin with an idealistic or stupid (take your pick) heroism. Dayna would be bloodthirsty and inquisitive. Bring in Cally for empathy and tactical strengths, Blake for idealism and leadership, Jenna for cool capable attitude, and Gan for warm supportiveness, and you've got...?
a right mess, I'd say. How would you make one person of all that?
