Nyx Enigma (n.) An extremely awkward being of indiscernible gender, which unexpectedly escaped into the human world shortly after Halloween of 1990, and is now hell-bent on making people mildly uncomfortable with the power of Autismβ’.
π Nyx Enigmas can be identified by their unruly hair, penchant for shapeless black clothing, racially ambiguous appearance, nocturnal behavior, and persistent tendency to identify as bisexual rather than pansexual even though they are the literal embodiment of smashing that gender binary (hey, that's what it was called in 2005, and my brain can't accept change, okay).
π They thrive on a diet of Gothic Rock, Deathrock, Post-Punk, and Darkwave, although they have also been known to forage for Placebo and even hoard Nu-Metal during periods of drought. However, these delicate creatures also require a constant supply of medication due to their overactive nervous systems, the malfunctioning of which can lead to panic attacks, seizures, cardiovascular distress, demonic possession, spontaneous tentacles, neurological moth infestation, and speaking in tongues. Owing to this poor state of health, they can no longer drink coffee or smoke; they must instead rely on Earl Grey and wishing for the sweet release of death.
π They are highly drawn to occult phenomena, and can often be found staring blankly into space while shuffling Tarot cards. Such behavior is typical of this species and presents no cause for concern.
π Their natural enemies include political conservatives of any variety, house flies, ketchup, small-town American values, large groups of high schoolers, checking social media notifications, and, of course, the first light of dawn.
