Heck, well before Avathar got released, iirc, a writer friend of mine in the gaming industry came up with an entire race of uplifted/indepedents AIs whose main gig was that they would freely control multiples remote control bodies as they wanted to when wishing to interact with the physical world. In fact, the fact they were not tied to a single bodies and could even transfer themselves to new mainframe storage units for their actual consciousness led them to see themselves as a "spirit" people and call themselves the "Loas" after Voodoo lore.

In fact, just like voodoo lore, they actually came to refer to their actual bodies as "mounts". Which is itself the term used in voodoo lore("chual", literally "mount") to refer to someone possessed by a voodoo spirit, the act of which is literally described as being "ridden" by the spirit like one would ride an horse.
