From what I remember the majority of MP cases, the personalities are not aware of each other.

There has to be an Advice Dog derivative for Ruining Jokes.

Awareness of the other alters is usually in cases in which the person had undergone therapy and learned to communicate with the alters. But yes, for most, the alters aren't aware of one another. And there have been cases in which people would have self-destructive alters.

If that's the case, then it might not always go well with the alter egos if they are conflicting enough, and know about another's presence. If one did, they would've been communicating through a mirror, so they can see who they are talking to.

In more advanced cases, some alters will take on a "protector" role and allocate time to the others. Some alters would also be more active than others, even ones that relegate the host into a recessive role. The alters would fight, too. I've seen this happen to some people; they would become very quiet because their personalities are fighting.

Each alter sometimes has a face of its own, along with its own name. Though, to my knowledge, people with dissociative identity disorder don't spend lots of time in front of the mirror, talking to themselves. Even those who are aware of the other personalities. The personalities switch, with one at the expense of the other, so you can't necessarily hold a conversation with "the man in the mirror." If you are able to speak to the other alters, it's usually done as a one-sided conversation, with the alters as auditory hallucinations, much like when a schizophrenic would talk to their voices.

Hmm, the Wikipedia article says it's pronounced "Eiji" and the years are called A.G.
I guess "AGE" is just a sort of pun.

So far I'd say it's pretty good. The first part was actually quite boring at times but the second part has more than made up for it, part of the fun being seeing how the original characters have grown after the 25-year timeskip.

The second part is also interesting in that the protagonist doesn't have the usual special/psychic powers, being completely devoid of them... so far, anyway. Although because of it and other factors, he's quite quickly accumulating Kou Uraki levels of butthurt.

I'll need to message Takei to find out for sure, but methinks you're correct, Vixy. Those were my guesses as well.

Anywho, here. I snagged this from TFN's temp forums. I'm sure someone will use it as an avatar:

You know Takei got that from imgur, right? I saw the right answers there, and Vixy's right.

Indeed. Takei is awesome. He's now my source for random reposts.
