some ocs. nem is the jockeyworm, and flake is the host. nem is primarily the one controlling the body out of necessity, as flake is still recovering from their very traumatic installation, but they have a lot of communication internally and the two are working together.

the reason nem’s installation was traumatic is because with unwilling hosts, the symbiont is used to completely suppress the host’s consciousness. this was not nem’s choice, and after escaping surveillance they attempted to bring flake’s mind back.

these two are from a currently unexplored story idea from my "greyworld" setting.
