Editing Egg (section)

==Personality==
Egg is severely bitter and prone to stewing in negative emotions. Still, he is capable to rise to the occasion when well-being of other C53s is at the stake.

He is very self-conscious of his body's leakage and constantly disgusted by it.<ref name=cracked>He wanted to hug her so badly.  He knew he could even say something like, ‘gently’, or that she knew to be gentle.  That she was soft, impossibly, mind-breakingly soft.  So much of that lace was like skin to her, and she’d described it as sensitive to the touch, and-<br/><br/>And he couldn’t risk breakage, soiling her with yellow mess that would be so hard to clean up.<br/>[...]<br/>One of the stations was being cleaned, Egg saw.  It caught his eye because he was used to being cleaned up after.  He couldn’t go to a restaurant without some goop getting on a table or chair.  He tried to clean it, but he always felt a stab of guilt when he saw a concerned looking employee trying to wipe up after him anyway, or going to talk to the manager about biohazards and clean up protocols.<br/>[...]<br/>“Let me.  I got some yolk on you.”<br/><br/>“I don’t mind.”<br/><br/>“It’s protein.  It stains.  If I don’t get it all here-”<br/><br/>“Really, it’s fine.”

He likes refering to his minions as 'Godbirds' and similar for intimidation purposes.<ref>“My godbird and the others aren’t… me.”<br/><br/>“Godbird, wow.  That sounds so amazing.”<br/><br/>“I thought so,” he said.  “Have to intimidate the people who read the notes on me.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/01 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.a II]]</ref>
===Relationships===
====[[Engel]]====
Engel and Egg have a brother-sister sort of relationship.<ref>It was interesting, seeing the interplay between him, her, and Scraping.  He came off like the moody kid brother, her as the wiser, warmer older sister, and Scraping… was the referee?  He reined in, chided, warned, and otherwise stayed out of it. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/07 Excerpt] from [[Black 13.10]]</ref> Egg, however, has mixed feelings about her - simultaneously being grateful for her soothing companionship and material help, while not considering her truly reliable or close.<ref name="Patronage">“You have Engel, right?”<br/><br/>“She’s not someone you count on, unless you’re counting on her to be there.  You hitch yourself to her and she brings you along while going this way or that.”<br/>[...]<br/>It was sheer luck he’d found Engel, in those first few months when there weren’t really phones and internet.  He’d been so lonely in the aftermath that he would have latched onto anyone.  Weeks and months without talking to anyone. Weld and Sveta had reached out, but accepting their offer for help and companionship would have been saying that what they did was okay.<br/>[...]<br/>Seeing Engel on the approach soothed, and unwound some of the more intense frustrations and darker thoughts.  She was, just by being near, a warm bath on a cold day, a delicious meal when he felt starved, a hug when he couldn’t remember ever having a good hug.<br/>[...]<br/>What would Gregor do, here?  What would Engel do? - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/01 Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.a]]</ref> He does look up to her despite this.

====[[Chantilly]]====
Egg has a crush on Chantilly. They were friends for a while. Chantilly, however, eventually had enough of his attitude and broke contact.

====[[Blackforest]]====
They bonded after Chantilly asked Egg to support her friend.<ref>Talking her off of a ledge, so to speak.  Being scared for the person on the other side of the internet connection, who he only knew as a friend of Chantilly’s, not knowing how to talk to someone in as dark a place as she was, except to share his own darkness. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/01/interlude-19-a/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.a]]</ref> Blackforest developed some feeling for him, yet it is not fully mutual.

===[[Gregor the Snail]]===
Egg admired the older man, and considers patterning himself off of him.<ref>Gregor was more up Egg’s alley, as far as styles and personalities went.  The kind of guy he wanted to be.  Stern, quiet, unflinching.  Untouchable.  Gregor wore a dress shirt made of clear plastic under a heavy coat, his skin, the snail shells that studded his skin, and the shadows of organs visible through it.  His pants were held up by a belt with a stone fossil for a belt buckle, that had to weigh at least five pounds.<br/>[...]<br/>What would Gregor do, here?  What would Engel do? - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/01 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.a II]]</ref>
