I don't see the issue with a mental being identifying as anything. They can perfectly emulate aspects of any being, though it is obvious they are still running on human hardware. If you believe that tulpa are more than psychological beings then that opens more possibilities.(edited)
Fictionkin is believing your are a fictional race and is usually not spiritual in nature. "Shifting" into it wouldn't do anything to the tulpas since they are in your mind and your are only changing your view. Switching with a fictional character doesn't make you fictionkin, just the current fronter.
Also, why can't a tulpa be a certain type of being and a tulpa at the same time? It is a title given to people created through a certain process of birthing, not a race or species.
Is a human not thought of being a certain shape just because all humans are a certain shape? If you stick a human brain in a jar, is the person speaking from that brain still human?
but, wouldn’t you act differently towards your tulpa during a shift? and shouldn’t they act differently towards you? it’s like you’re not the same person, right?
It really depends on the person. Shadow for instance doesn't treat me any differently when I shift. I only really shift when I'm angry. "default" I'm Maria Robotnik.
The virus is more of a fictional type of virus where it turns me into something like a monster. Compare it with the show parasyte (if you've ever seen it)
Like if you need to shift into it to be it and you aren't otherwise then you aren't actually that thing. You just become that thing at certain points.

Like a transwoman is a woman cause they have permanently transitioned into being a woman, but if it is a temporary thing then it isn't you all the time
