Yes, but both copies are You, just having different experiences.On the other tentacle, from the point of duplication on, the twinned characters' experiences will differ
I wonder what would happen if a powerful telepath was copied? That person could maintain a solid mental link between the two, and essentially have two bodies with the exact same mind!
Say a non-typical aggressive betazoid, copies themself & becomes an army! All of his bodies are in contact will all others, and form a sort of Zergish overmind.
Great villian for a movie - some telepath running around with a hundred bodies, taking revenge for something, and is defeated by using that interconnectedness against him. Maybe because there is a limit beyond which all of his energy is diverted into keeping a connection between all of his selves, and each body can't think as well. Too many bodies, and he basically turns into a group of borg, dumb units with extreme motivation and a master plan, but without the fancy tech.
