General Personality
Me? I'm your average person, I guess. I like good food, good music, and good friends. I'm a big fan of geeky sci-fi shows, board games, and stuff like that. I love spending time with the people I care about.
I'm really quite OCD at times. Like Sarah, I love rules and patterns, but unlike Sarah, I get really annoyed when things don't follow those rules. It really upsets me when things change or when things break out of established patterns. I like it when things stay the same and aren't changing. Of course, this is really a silly attitude, so I'm always working on getting through the change that goes on around us. You might think of me as the conservative party in this system.
I can be skeptical of things a lot of the time. I try to accept what goes on around me and what people tell me, but to be honest, I'm really not as accepting as some of the others. I try to rationalize everything away with mundane scientific and psychological explanations. If I can explain it with such things, then I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable around it.
I tend to be one of the more easily scared members of this group, I'll admit. I'm the one that seems to run away from situations that I don't like the most. I try to just relax and exist, and I usually do, but when I'm upset or freaked out, I try to be nowhere to be found. I try to let someone else take over.
I'm not very good about sexuality like some of the others, either. Holly is really our most sexual system member. I do like sex, but it makes me so very very anxious. I'm always worried that I'm not doing a good job at it or something. It's a rare occasion when I can relax enough to really have a good time.
Interests
I love all sorts of geeky things. Sci-fi movies. TV shows. Board games. I love big ol' party games so much. They make me really happy. I enjoy video games and computer games as well. I really like anything that I can use to escape from the world around me, because I find it very difficult to live in this world.
My Thoughts on being Multiple
Frankly, I don't like it. Well... That's what I said at first. I've been... really abusive towards some of the others... I really don't like the idea of not being in control of this body. This is MY body, damnit. I don't want to share it with someone else. Yet I'm finding that I have to... and I'm also starting to realize just how much I depend on the others to survive. If it wasn't for them, I don't know what I'd do in some situations. So... I'm slowly coming to terms with this, but it is very very hard.
History
Sarah thinks that I might be the original inhabitant of this body. That makes a lot of sense, given the fact that I identify the most strongly with our system name, and I also seem to be involved with "The Fractures." It seems that I have a habit of creating "new people" every time I get freaked out or stressed. Those people stick around, and some of them become fully-realized beings, like Holly or Sarah. Some of them never really grow and just remain simple partial beings, mostly unrealized bits of potential consciousness. They seem to follow me for some reason, and listen to what I say. Or... at least, that's part of what we think.
Relationship with the others
Sarah and I get into lots of fights, because she gets really frustrated with my highly emotional state sometimes. I think Sarah is too dispassionate to really function well in the world, but I know that she does her thing very well. Despite that, we actually tend to have a pretty good relationship, collaborating on projects a lot of the time. Sarah and I both are very analytic individuals and love working things out. We have different reasons for wanting this, but we both want the same things.
My relationship with Holly is extremely antagonistic. We really really really dislike each other. I think she's immature, embarrassing, and waaay too hyper. I'm frankly surprised that people put up with her as much as they do. She also likes a whole different set of things than I. I like escapist stuff like video games, board games, and movies. She likes to create things, like music, poetry, computer programs, etc. Frankly... I find that stuff anxiety inducing and kind of boring. I'm pretty sure she feels similarly about me.
I like Casey and Willia a lot. They both take very good care of me when I'm feeling freaked out or overwhelmed. Willia's great for helping me get stuff done, and Casey's great for helping out when we need to deal with social stuff. We don't interact much, but I really appreciate them a lot.
Angie is a mystery to me. I don't really know much about her. Frankly, I think she's deluded half the time.
Lily is... Lily is scary to me, because she is so very much not like the rest of us. She doesn't deal with things the way I'd like her to. But I can't deny the reality of her existence. The fact that she comes out and does her own thing.
D'ni... I feel a strange affinity with D'ni. I can... feel a lot of what D'ni feels. And frankly, that freaking scares me.
