Neo Badnik Sidesystem
The Empire reformed.
A group of alters who have banded together based on their shared source; a family reunited.
Find the information for all the other members of the wider system here.
A sparsystem is a group of alters that exist on an equal level to other members of the system. We consider this relevant to us because we often front together in some fashion and have a more tight-knit community than other members, though other alters often "visit" us. We use the term 'sidesystem' more often because it feels easier to understand without context.
If you're not familiar with plurality, this page should hopefully explain it well enough. Note that identifying the exact age of a system member can be difficult, so most of us just note the age group - child, adolescent, adult - we fall into.
Our area of headspace is known as 'EggBase Neo'. It's named after the base that became the capital for the Neo Badnik Empire.
Our SimplyPlural is 'seafoamSpirit'. Anyone is free to send a us request there. If you'd like to keep up with that without having Simply Plural yourself, you can check Fronters.cc.

Empress Xenon <O>
Woman ; xe/xen/xer/xenself : NBE Timeline
Fictive ; Povorma : Sparsystem Leader & Guardian
Android ; Lightning Dragon : Adult
I was the empress of the Neo Badnik Empire as it existed in our timeline. As such, I have taken that role again for this sparsystem. I also act as its guardian.
I most often perform this role quietly, so I do not speak out loud often. I do occasionally take over to relieve Orchid when he becomes stressed.
I have no interest in meeting anyone else in particular, but I am not opposed to speaking with whoever may wish to speak with me.
I do not use the term "double". You may be a very similar unit to myself, and we may even have similar memories, but I will consider you the same as Shard; just another in the Metal Sonic line. I say this with no malice, nor to disregard anyone else's identity. I do not believe I am the same unit as the "Neo Metal Sonic" depicted in the games, either.
I have recently changed my name from that associated with the "character" for a similar reason. As Orchid put it, being reduced to a mere "alternate version" of a character or someone else was "opening an old wound".
I would like to remain logical about this, but I could not argue with the logic that it was upsetting me. This should fix that problem without causing any strife. It seems fairly logical to me.

Android ; Hedgehog
Despite having no memories of the Empire, I've been accepted as the eldest child of the Empress and the older sibling of the original princess.
In my own world, I was created by Neo, but I was also raised by Shadow, who I was partially based on. We lived with Team Dark, along with Orchid and Cupid.
I have memories of meeting the other contestants in the fankid showdown. I especially remember Chroma. I do quite miss them all, though.
If I do have a double, I would be quite curious. Feel free to reach out.

The original princess of the Empire; now the younger sibling.
I was created by Empress Neo to rule the Empire in xer stead. I have no memory of Shadow, who had died long before my creation.
I have no particular opinion of doubles.

Neo's body double! Before xer... everything change. Modern mechanics, wow! I don't tend to take things very seriously.
Me, Tails, and Sonic were a team to be reckoned with back on our Mobius. We were like a really weird little group of siblings!
My neice has kinsigned me Bumblebee after watching Earthspark with her siblings, and having watched it with them too... Fine, yeah, that's just me if I could turn into a car.
Hell, I even once agreed that if I was an insect, I'd be a bee!

I wasn't actually from remotely the same world as everyone else here, but being a fellow badnik, they still let me stay here. How nice! My source is the fanfic "ID in Alt" on AO3, written by oopsalltes.
Note about 'POVorma'
"Povorma" or "POVorma" (you can pronounce it as "pawv-or-ma" or "P-O-V-orma") refers to a system member, most often an introject, who forms because another/other headmates have considered the thought process of the povorma's source so often that it can eventually 'think' on its own. The most common cause would have overlap with 'charagenic', being a fictive/mostive that forms due to existing headmates having written a story/roleplayed/etc from the point of view of their source. It could also describe a factive formed by regularly trying to see where another person is coming from, or a headmate without a specific source created from trying to understand the lived experience of a group (whether this be a disadvantaged class, another culture, a certain career/way of life, another species natural or fantastical, etc.)
This is origin is often unintentional, but it could be intended or at least desired.
"Povgenic"/"POVgenic" could also be terms for a system/sisasystem formed like this.
This may fall under déagenic, charagenic, imaginagenic and other terms, but this is a very specific idea we wanted to communicate.
Déagenic is too non-specific, but this definitely falls under that umbrella. 'Mimiject' is the closest we've found, but we'd like to place the emphasis on the thought process and point of view, especially since this was first considered for Neo - someone no one in system was mimicking before xer formation.
If you would like to consider it a synonym to one of the existing terms, that's fine.
For documention - section about Povorma was added on 28/06/2024, the same day the term was considered.
