I kind of like the idea of the frame's "personality" imprinting on the operator after extended use, as it would force the operator to keep and utilize a diverse arsenal in order to not lose themselves...but I wouldn't think it's the case. It's a highly-advanced piece of biotechnology, but in the end, a frame's a frame.

If I had to take a stab at it, I would say that rather than frames having any sort of inbuilt persona, they simply draw out and amplify these things that are deep in the operator's subconscious. Latent personality traits, and powers to match, that for one reason or another never developed and surfaced, like. If it's this way, then they can express these parts of themselves with comparatively lesser risk of the personality traits becoming permanent; kind of like dreaming. After a mission, they "wake up" and definitely remember what they did and how they acted while they were doing it, but there are fewer to no lasting repercussions as it all sinks back to the subconscious level.

Could be either way, of course, and it'd be up to DE to make anything official. But seeing as they have to worry about a game that has to at least loosely follow the lore, it's unlikely they'll write anything in that would end up penalizing people for repeatedly using their favorite frame.

Also it's literally been months since I last saw the word "otherkin", was beginning to think it'd fallen out of style :\
