You should know that I have never created a tulpa, nor do I ever intend to, and all my knowledge of tulpas comes from casually browsing /x/.
A lot of people, including myself, just sum it up as "an imaginary friend", but really, that doesn't cover it. It's more like "intentionally giving yourself schizophrenia".
To create a tulpa, you spend hours or days or even longer meditating on each specific aspect of your intended creation one at a time.
I know a lot of bronies got into the tulpa thing, and from what I understand, it was a bit easier for them since they had shows to focus on.
Were one to make a Ghoul School tulpa, the only non-imaginary content they can base it off of would be their limited amount of scenes in the hour-and-a-half-long movie, and whatever fan art they can find. Fan art not being too helpful, really, because they are drawn so drastically different. This is because we never actually see the grown up Ghouls, and different artists have different takes on what their adult selves would look like.
You need to be consistent with your intended features.
The brony, on the other hand, has a shit ton of episodes, as well as quite a lot more than a standard metric shit ton's worth of fanart, more consistent, too.
Shit can still go wrong for the brony, of course; pic related.
Supposedly tulpas can be interacted with using only your mind. Think calm thoughts and they will calm down, think of specific sentences and they will hear them telepathically. This is because, of course, the tulpa is in your head.
But, according to tulpa "experts", they are not entirely just figments of your imagination.
A tulpa is a self-aware, sentient entity, with thoughts and feelings of it's own; although your's can have a drastic effect.
This sentience comes from the fact that tulpas are, as it was explained to me, created by "shaving off a slice of your own consciousness."
