The Characters are Duplicants?

In Oxygen Not Included, the characters are all 'duplicants' - with similar proportions to DS characters. This prompted me to look into the possibility DS characters are in-fact, Duplicants.

What I realised is:
 

In Don't Starve, Maxwell on the throne/greeting you is proper, human size and dies like a human also. Wilson (duplicant) on the throne, is still Duplicant size.

Canonically, that's the original Maxwell.

In Don't Starve Together, two of a character can meet, canonically. They can also be in different outfits (yes, skins are canon) than the established ones, without ever earning them (canonically) - This means there's more than one instance of everyone there.

Again, Charlie is shown to have human proportions, and is also still the original Charlie.

To link this to Forbidden Knowledge, I looked into Maxwell's Door and the Seaworthy:

In-game, it appears Maxwell's Door actually DOES duplicate you:

One instance goes to Adventure Mode

One stays outside.

If adventure Mode Instance dies, Survival instance wakes up.

Duplicants are expendable.

Moving onto the Seaworthy, it is a whole new oyster

One of you sits on the Seaworthy (original instance)

While one goes to Shipwrecked (new instance)

In-fact, it was changed to resemble this. Originally, it just happened.

Why would they change it to duplicate you?

On the other hand, the Teleportato does NOT duplicate you, instead transporting this one instance across, lending credence to the "one in adventure mode, one in survival" theory.

Again, in Shipwrecked if you are to start two seperate worlds, one SW and one DS/RoG:

If one goes across the other, even as the same character, that world's duplicant is removed. It's clear something is preventing them from meeting, rather than one canonically not existing, giving credence to the Duplicant theory.

This could explain why Charlie is shown to "kill" Wilson on the throne. The only way to leave the throne has been shown to be, death. Death of a duplicant (or the original in Maxwell, and potentially Charlie's case - making a duplicant)

I have more on my phone I'll add at a later date.

But that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY!
