They might, indeed. Yet i kinda think they are some kind of different beings.Oh I get that those 2 are special cases. The more I read the thread, the more I think that those 'ghost dreams' might have been other people that have died and are being used by Ulysses
First of all, we must not forget that Eternum shares the universe with OIaLT, so supernatural phenomenons and creatures do exist.
Therefore we can't assume that everything conscient we see is or has been human at some point. There might be something like demons, or spirits, or otherwordly entities that leaked into Eternum somehow.
Calypso is convinced she is a person that existed long before Eternum was around (a bunch of years, sure not decades). It can be fake memories installed with her background, kinda Ridley Scott's replicant in Blade Runner (who were rather different from the counterparts in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheeps), or she can indeed be a person from another world captured in Eternum.
Idriel can't be just a person. She interacts with thousands if not hundred of thousants or even millions of people at the same time, in the login procedure and she also proved she can materialize multiple instances of her in the same place (see the first time Orion logs in). If there actually is an AI it's her.
On the side, a theory of mine. Calypso is supposed to be one of the three Artefacts/Weapons, which are a melee weapon, a range weapon and... a person/NPC? It doesn't make much sense. We know that Calypso was not 'ready' yet to be found. Now, my idea is that the third weapon was supposed to be a spell enhancer, like a wizard's staff. And Calypso was supposed to be turned, somehow, in this item. And so, also, the other 2 weapons were in origine people/NPCs. Maybe the meele weapon was a strong fighter, while the range weapon was some kind of ranger/sharpshooter. And Calypso is a caster, and so she was material to be turned into a magic user's weapon of choice.
