Ney

I'm Ney. Bigender, and an ariral alterhuman. (For those who know the species lore - a short.)

I've been around since before the "main" split happened with Em and Pitaden. It wasn't until Em showed up and did something to annoy me that they realized I was around. She then proceeded to pester me until I gave up and became friends. (I bitched about it back then, but I do genuinely appreciate being dragged out of that isolation.)

I'm an introject. Maybe. It's hard to say I'm based on the character, or the character is based on me. I'll probably never know for sure.

Either way - our host played a character in a game identical to me. I'd often pitch in on what I'd want to do, but he'd often ignore me, just thinking he was conflicted about how to play that character.

It was very frustrating for me, like being locked behind a one-sided window watching someone else be you - and they're doing a shit job of it the whole time. At the time, I assumed he was doing it intentionally.

Of course, he had no clue about his plurality then. It's not fair to be mad at him about it - even if I still feel like I still have a grudge on some level.

I've realized I get angry easily. Including by things the rest of the system would just shrug off.

It sucks. There's always a fear that, eventually, I'm going to lash out at a partner or a friend who really doesn't deserve that.

I'm often silly about it and say things like "oh, yeah, I'm the bitchy one" - but fuck, man, sometimes I would like to be like Rosie or Emerald and let things slide.
