Rust

💿 Echo he/she/they

A calm hologram figure (sometimes a rabbit). Observes, steadies, and anchors the system. Keeps continuity and monitors everyone. Possibly a host?

🐺 Kite he/they

A dhole. Probably the protector archetype. Holds our ambition and drive, as well as our anger, frustration.

🦝 Tanuki he/him

A soft, warm, sleepy tanuki. Brings comfort, rest, and low-pressure energy. Easygoing, cozy, and grounded in warmth and safety.

🐶 Sparky he/they

A golden retriever kid Curious, affectionate, easily excited, and deeply attached. Carries our small joys and early emotional needs.

😺 Juno he/him

Teenage-ish Serval. Expressive, impulsive, emotional, and bright. Moves fast, feels fast, thinks fast. Loves Pokémon.

🔮 Merlin they/them

A black cat dressed as a wizard??? We've only found them recently after heading them in the background for a while. Some kind of autonomy protector / child self.

🦌 Deer it/it's/he???/they???

A fawn. Hyperaware, easily overwhelmed. Holds our freeze/fawn responses and deep, instinctive fear. Not really a person??? A hyper realistic deer in the backrooms of our brain???

Other notes:

We are very new to all of this.

We have a core sense of self / memories / values, which we are connected to to differing degrees.

We use I/we interchangeably, based on context.

You can call us Rust collectively, or refer to any of us directly, if you'd like.

We are 23, transmaculine (we use he/they collectively) and autistic.

Feel free to say hi.
