If I have a honorable personality in my discard enter play via overlay and he has targeted a dishonable personality equiped with the Blade of Guile, when does my overlay become dishonorable?

Jon Palmer (rules official), 21 February 2012

If I have a honorable personality in my discard enter play via overlay and he has targeted a dishonable personality equiped with the Blade of Guile, when does my overlay become dishonorable?

Immediately. Per the rules on overlaying, the overlaying Personality inherits the game state (in this case, dishonorable) of the overlaid Personality.
