[WP] Having alien roommates is... an experience, especially foe the first time. You get a real deep dive into their daily routines and habits. I was both lucky and unfortunate that my first roommate was a Human.

[WP] Everyone has something referred to as “Narrative Potential Energy” the higher this value is, the more involved in a story you are. Protagonists have a high amount as they drive the story forward, and background characters have little. Somehow you have negative narrative potential.
