In general, my take on that is "no." However, I did play a character
once who did start out as a hidden life to a free spirit and was a
phsyical adept as well. The character was essentially Y.T. from
SNOW CRASH. I built her as a physical adept with lots of extra
dice for atheletics, etc... The relationship between the character
and free spirit was non-hostile. After all, she /was/ the hidden life.
We didn't play that as meaning she was possessed. Since Y.T. also
fed it Karma, the free spirit would tag along and use it's guard
and movement powers on her. :) It wasn't a character who was meant
to be taken seriously - but somehow people did. I think it was the
incredibly obnoxious mouth she had.

Perhaps not the most realistic character, but it made for a hell of a lot
of fun.
