The Musketeer

A suspected OSDD System

We use I and we interchangably and may mean the alter fronting or the system as a whole.

You can collectively call me Barns
or Barnie

  • Our system name comes from something my mum said when we first tried to explain that we might have OSDD, I was explaining how none of us are more important than the other but we are all different and need each other to work and the first thing my mum said is, Oh so you're like the musketeers.

  • On Discord we use a sheep emoji as the system tag as we are known as Barnie or Barns across the internet

Everything is written with help by Saiph, but the alters of the relevant pages will have had input!

Saiph

I am a former host, I was host when the body was between 7-14 (possibly before but everyone's memories are fuzzy and jumbled prior to 7) so a lot of things the current host felt was their personality but seemed to "lose interest or passion for" were, in fact, my hobbies and interests.The last picture is by the Tunnel System and they did a wonderful job, thank you so very much

Broad-shouldered and shortish but slim built, dark brown hair and eyes, pale-ish skin.

Nate

TW: abuse, cigarettes and alcohol

i am a part that came about to handle the pressures and abuse of a previous relationship
i often would cofront with the host or gabe, especially in the period he was known as nate, hence me taking up that name, or pretend to be those alters
my appearance is partially like that of the ex, and partially like what we thought our ex would prefer in a partner
i unfortunately still feel affection towards them, despite how they treated me but i am trying my best to recover from the abusethe last picture is by the tunnel system and i love it, thank you very much

Very skinny, very pale skinned, heterochromatic eyes, one brown and one blue, extremely dark brown hair which is almost black and dark brown antlers on the forehead, deer-like legs and feet
Hair is often tied back partially, with some hair falling onto the face, a white hoodie is often worn along with simple graphic t-shirts or jumpers. A collar is also worn and also plasters on the face and hands.

  • Feels 18 sometimes, other times feels ageless as the our ex wanted us to act other ages and Nate did most of this acting and it makes things confusing for hart

  • Sexuality wise, hart is abrosexual and erosflux (seemingly dependent on alcohol consumption), between carnelian attraction and enbian and they are also (sometimes) averseminsexual. Romantically, hart is always enbian.

  • Fawngender, demiboy

  • they/them, he/him, hart/harts

  • Part Type: EP, trauma holder, 'designed' part (we and a couple of other systems think the ex may have purposefully induced things to help create Nate)

  • Hobbies, interests or favourite activities: Animal tracking, bag making

  • Favourite animals: Deer, wolves, bears, foxes

  • Favourite TV shows and films: Portrait Artist of the Year, Landscape Artist of the Year, The Repair Shop, Fake or Fortune, Swiss Army Man and various tiny home and wilderness survival videos

  • Favourite books:

  • Favourite music: Midlake, Holy Fawn, Fleet Foxes, ◯, Black Hill, Silent Island, The Last Sighs of the Wind, Bring Me the Horizon

  • Favourite Games: Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

  • Favourite foods: Hershey's kisses, Jack Daniel's covered chicken wings

  • Favourite drinks: Fruit cider (lots of types), perry

  • Hart would like to learn leathercraft and archery

  • Fronts about once weekly or less but for long periods of time if hart does front

  • Hart also has a few typing quirks when trying to write without Saiph's aid. Hart prefers to write in Ogham script, we think this is due to it being a bit more secretive? But Nate is getting better at writing in Roman script and can now use commas, but hart's writing still is in all lowercase.
