Will org. mode let you just 'possess' any member of your species you choose, or will it be more like you stick to one fixed character/family/clan? So basically can you switch between different creatures or just the one?

Players should be confined to one creature, with the exception of death and reproduction, at least until they get strategy mode. But when you don't have strategy mode, you basically 'are' the creature. Once you ascend, organism mode does definitely become what you are suggesting, a way to possess organisms.

I think it was staged like this:

Microbe stage -> Aware stage: You are limited to the organism you are playing as, until you die (or reproduce, where you can choose if you want to control the baby or the parent).
Aware stage -> Space stage, before Ascension: You get the Strategy mode, so you can choose any member of your civilization and control it with Org. mode.
Space stage, after Ascension: Unlimited control over what you can posses in Org. mode.

Sounds good, makes sense, has all the needed aspects of a good idea.

But you can sort of control other species/civilisations with mind control tech, by controlling the member of your civilisation controlling them. And with god machine mind control you should be able to directly select any organism and control it, like when ascended.
