I guess since we're joining, I'll give an introduction.

Our system name is Ko. There are seven of us here, though three of which are in a subsystem where only one of them is actually "here" at any given time. Tim, the core self, is dead, dormant, or missing. We don't really know. He just wasn't there when we woke up one morning and hasn't been seen since.
We are:
Takkaddu - non-human, patient person, the one most often fronting.
Karma - protective, responsible man with a strong (if skewed by society's POV) code of ethics
Ixia - young girl, obsessed with cats and the color orange. Second most often fronting, and often co-fronts.
Isis - loving, lusting, maternal woman. She's not very strong, and tends to sleep most of the time.
Kael Daemonchilde - coldly hateful man, due to an abusive past that did not occur while in this body.
Sulphur Daemonchilde - bundle of rage, barely counts as human.
Laetz Daemonchilde - proudly sick person

The daemonchildren, primarily Kael, have been in the system the longest. Tim had memories of Kael waking up and taking control in response to physical attack or the threat of it from at least the age of seven.
We're currently counseling them (we may not be the most qualified for it, but none of us have a positive opinion of psychiatrists/psychologists) to try and make them a bit easier to live with, as well as to help them overcome the past that caused them to split into three aspects.

Ixia and Isis occasionally merge, temporarily. This results in an older, more mature, variation of Ixia.

Welcome. You all have really nice names.

Thanks. Tim was never really satisfied with the three names he'd come up with (Kael, Karma, and Isis didn't offer a name when consulted, so he just named them). I bet he'd be happy to see that someone liked them.

I agree that someone doesn't need counseling just because they live as a group in one body. I think it's great that you guys are working to integrate everyone into a healthy society rather than trying to wall them off or some other way of abandoning them. I hope it works out well.

Yeah, we've always felt a little guilty about "binding" the Daemonchildren. We'd let them talk and stuff, and let them have very closely monitored control time, but we certainly weren't treating them fairly. On the flipside, they'd have done something bad if we did treat them fairly. When Laetz became their "spokesman," we struggled with what to do about it, as he's intolerable to even listen to. So, we decided to sit them down and see about finding a better way to deal with things.
It hadn't really occurred to us to help them get over their issues. We just thought that that's just who they were.

Ixia sounds scarily similar to our girl here, Matti. Orange and cats pretty much sums her up xD

So, she's been cheating on us, eh?! ;D I wonder how many other heads she's been sleeping around with.
Well, let's see how well Matti matches. (She's sleeping, so I'll go by what I remember her telling us) Ixia has memories of another life with a semi-neglectful father. As in he'd take care of her if necessary, but was perfectly happy with her living with her friend's family for months at a time, at the age of around eight onward, and he never really showed her affection. She wasn't unhappy with this situation, since she really liked living with her friend and his family, and didn't really start to develop any feeling of neglect or abandonment until she got older.
I think she became romantically involved with him, at one point.
Beyond that, you'd probably have to wait for her to wake up.

Matti doesn't have any sort of background that we know or, or that she remembers. She's just an adorable little kid, with a mop of red hair.

Welcome to the community and best of luck with counseling the daemonchildren. I think it's great you are doing it this way.

Hi! I'm Fredd! Our host body's personality (or lack thereof) is pretty much dead, too. Hope to hear more from you!

Good to see you around. I'm Nadzh of Featherdance, otherwise known as The Us. We're glad to see you here (we like people, especially when we make friends with them!) and hope to get to know all of you better. Glad to see that you guys are working things out. Keeping things inside the system can sometimes be very useful, at least until everyone knows where they are and are not comfortable.
