Undeath Personality Fracture Syndrome

UPFS, is a phenomenon characterized by the splitting of an original personality into distinct and enduring personality states as a single Dalmer dies and returns to life as several undead entities. 
In total, a dead Dalmer can produce six personalities. Five naturally; a ghost, a soul, a spirit, a skeleton, and a flesh golem, and one through brain scanning, the original personality if an uploaded consciousness was created shortly before death.
== Overview ==
The personality of a Dalmer is fractured upon death in between the various undead forms created from the dead Dalmer, this leads to the created personalities keeping certain traits of the original. With time, the gaps in the personality are compensated by each created personality’s own experiences, leading to the pieces becoming vastly different individuals altogether, but who share a common history, akin to siblings in a way. In society, post mortem personalities are considered persons but are required to choose a new name to ease administrative transitions to the new state change.
=== Controversy concerning uploaded consciousness ===
Uploaded consciousness technology causes severe debate amongst the silent majority because uploaded consciousness are perfect copies of the person, yet seemingly frozen in time as they cannot internalize or create new organic memories past the point of creation, if the Uploaded conscience is returned to its host body. This means that, in a sense, UC’s are more Dalmer-like than the personalities created post death.
=== Controversy concerning inheritance ===
The creation of up to 6 personalities creates problems concerning inheritance, as in Dalmer law inheritance goes from living ascendants to living descendants. This means that the undead created post mortem are often in dire financial situations, especially if they are estranged from their descendants. The reasoning maintained by the courts is that the descendants have more need of inheritance. Secondly the judge cannot order the separation of the deceased's estate between the created undead. In any case, since heritage laws in Dalmer society are very confiscatory, the heritage is never that large to begin with.
