I think the quest where you tour the facility and get to respond that you see them as gods, not too different to you or inscrutable is probably the best way to describe them. They clearly had strong human elements to them, including in their affections and emotions, but at the same time they're similar to beings like elder dragons in that they're nigh immortal and possess great natural talents and powers, including that to contribute to creation through their very imaginations. The important thing here is that they're not trying to cast them as lacking in fundamental human traits, like emotions, various anxieties, aspirations, etc. Their common societal goal does not strip them of individual goals and motivations.

I've seen so many conflicting answers to this question online with people claiming that EVERYONE on the Source is now 8 times rejoined and others saying that only those with the Echo, who are presumably the ones with the souls of the murdered Ancients are 8 times rejoined and that everyone else just has a new soul. What is the correct answer?
The correct answer is that it's everyone on the Source. See question 4.
