I'd say he has to be one character or the other, but brainwashed to think he's both. So, the solution would be neuralyzation and fetching the other character from a plothole. If it's a very extreme case, such that you'd be wiping his entire memory or something, then you'd probably have to take him to FicPsych to get his personality back. I bet they keep them on file.

So I'm sporking this Star Wars/everything crossover in which Obi-Wan Kenobi is actually Legolas in disguise for...no apparent reason. My question is: what do I do? Will they become two separate characters once the canon reverts to normal, or will I need to do something special? I don't recall seeing this in any other mission, so I don't exactly have any guidelines to go off of. Ideas?
In one story, Arwen had been replaced by Child!Arwen, a Sue who warped Elrond way out of character. They found the original Arwen imprisoned in a nonexistant room on the other side of the plot hole that had allowed Elrond to sip constantly from a glass of wine without ever refilling it. So all you need is to find a plot hole, and the other side could be the prison of the original Legolas and Obi-Wan.

Thanks!
I'd imagine that they would. It seems like you could get a lot of good material out of that too.
