get used to it. we'll be in these trenches for a while.

hey, guys! as I think you know from my intro post (i should probably pin that) i am a plural system! i wanted to write out this post to give everyone information about our system!

i am traumagenic, edugenic, and betagenic!

we have nine active members (not including the root/host, which is me, keith), who are all fictives

5/9 headmates are canonically dead in their universe

two of them experience chronic pain from injuries they sustained in their lifetime

6/9 headmates are soldiers

we are not an inherently dysfunctional system, meaning none of my headmates try to cause harm to ourselves or to others

they are all men (which i find weird)

my headmates are:

henri dupont (27, french poilu, more on the quieter side, blunt, mood switches, does not care much about american social standards/constructs, kind of naive sometimes, died in the trenches of the western front in early 1918)

irwin wade (24, american combat medic in the 2nd rangers, gruff, blunt, easily angered, has a bit of a temper, not good at communicating his emotions, kind of serves as a caretaker due to his medical background and experience, died on june 11th, 1944 in france)

jack rossi (24, scottish soldier, really really scottish, aggressive at times, kind of an annoying older brother figure, surprisingly laid back until something happens, fits into a few elements of the "average scotsman" stereotype)

ludwig behm (17, on the shyer side but will yap if he's comfortable, pretty anxious sometimes, really studious, NERD, the youngest headmate, forces me to study latin with him sometimes, died in the trenches of the western front in the spring of 1917)

matt spencer (21, really chill dude, LOVES rock music and music in general, pretty stylish, funny, really cool to hang out with but not afraid to argue with people)

seth davis (23, personality similar to mine. he can be serious when times call for it, but most of the time he's light hearted and makes stupid jokes. he's not bad to be around and is really just trying to go with the flow and make it through life)

toby nealy (23, the PICTURE of rebellious delinquent. politically minded and INCREDIBLY opinionated. won't change his stance on things even if there was a gun to his head. he'll do what he wants/thinks is right, no matter if you like it or not. pretty fierce friend, though, and is not afraid to fight or get into arguments. died in 2022 after being beaten to death with a cricket bat.)

william schofield (22, kind of like a dad. kind of difficult, but he mostly means well. pragmatic and unsentimental. straight to the point. he's not the most fun to be around, but he genuinely cares about people close to him and is pretty chill sometimes. not very good at communicating his emotions.)

tom blake (19, kind of like the opposite of scho. he's a ray of sunshine. he's funny and LOVES animals, especially dogs, likes to go outside, a lot kinder than will, and more outgoing. he's a really nice guy and fun to be around. impossible to dislike. he's like the fun older brother i never asked for.)
