Pronouns: He/him for each.
In visual novel Slay the Princess, the main character is accompanied by diegetic voiceover narration by multiple distinct entities, all voiced by the same actor (Jonathan "Magnus Archives" Sims, if you're curious). The Voice of the Hero accompanies the player continuously from the beginning, expressing a chivalrous but somewhat naïve viewpoint, in opposition to the Narrator who is insisting that you titular Slay the titular Princess. Depending on your actions, additional Voices enter the script, with their own distinct, strong, somewhat one-dimensional, personalities. This creates a fascinating commedia dell'arte effect which I have been completely obsessed with for some time.
In this personal AU, after the cabin ending and the departure of the Long Quiet, the Narrator, and the Shifting Mound, the Voices found themselves waking up in individual bodies, along with a few straggler Princess vessels who were not absorbed into the Shifting Mound. The cabins of each individual route are now part of a continuous landscape, with obvious seams where the very different biomes meet. Make no mistake! This is to facilitate pornography. However, I've put a lot of thought into everything anyway.
I use "Voice" as if it were a species name; it would also be correct to call the Voices "dragons."
Multiple copies of each Voice exist simultaneously, including subtle variants who experienced different branching routes of the game, although they're scattered randomly across a very large landscape and are not too likely to meet each other. When it does become useful to identify a specific Voice or differentiate between iterations of the same Voice, they may take or be given nicknames; see for example the stuffed animals.
The Voices regenerate over time when hurt, including slowly regrowing lost limbs and extremities. They can be temporarily killed if they suffer too much physical trauma at once; if the body remains fundamentally intact it will revive once the damage is repaired at its normal rate. If the body is mangled to pieces or destroyed altogether (fire, acid, etc), the remains degrade and merge with their environment, and a new body forms underground near their home cabin, working its way to the surface until the Voice wakes up again, all memory intact.
If you enjoy my creatures but haven't played Slay the Princess, it is Not a Compliment to tell me to my face that you would never want to actually play it because it would be a disappointment not to have the little guys, or similar. It's fine to like the guys! But if you compliment them by putting down the source you are still dismissing a thing I obviously really like and I am requesting you keep it to yourself.
