The Nin's Bunshin is just a special effect rather then an actual AI which is why its able to use their character model.
    isn't there a boss that copies everyone's model, even the armor to shoot out aoes?

    anyways though I was under the assumption that Fray was the fight club's version of Tyler Durden.

    honestly I expect a mod or a change later on...

    Yeah, Achamoth, the first boss in Lost City of Amdapor.

    To say nothing about the DRK 50 quest having the Darkside version of yourself.

    Also, I imagine it shouldn't be THAT hard to make an AI that copies your character.

    I mean, all it needs to do is go off the checkboxes for character creation that you used, and then essentially glamour itself based on your gear...

    ... Or you know, just copy/paste the section of data that references your character's appearance that they have saved so you have a character that is visible in the game...

    I just don't understand this design decision. There's no way that copying the player's character is too resource intensive either given that Ninja gets a fully colored second character model for Bunshin.
    Frays image and other dark simalcrum take that shape because of the warrior of lights guilty conscience over the ppl they could not save and inner shadow archeotype. And, the soul crystal sensed our inner shadow and gave it form and release using the image of Fray and most likely memories from the echo, in theory. The actual identity of Fray is the warrior of light, and the shadow can take shape of their inner darkness and torment as well as embody what we deny about ourselves. That is why it looks like Fray's corpse. Also, it may be a gateway for other Jungian psychological archetypes to spill out of the WoL and cause all sorts of trouble (myste).

    It's also possible that it's Myste's summoning ability and it requires the WoL to summon it from their memories, and that was already limited to the focus and range of the summoner

    I think this would be the only way to make this ability worse. Its such a cool idea but executed with no imagination or synergy with the job.

    Take your gender bias somewhere else.

    Its a matter of perspective i feel. treat Fray like your persona rather than inherently you
