Sure, I agree in principle that in most instances the Avatars are
separate 
and not in need of any external entity to define their archtype; but
what about
the Avatars of the Soulmates, who are incomplete without each other?

After all, the concept of Soulmates being the lost halves of a single
entity 
seems fairly common.

Another Matt.
