Nonmetal · element 7
Nitrogen
Makes up most of the air. Refuses to react to it.
Only 0.6% of people are Nitrogen. (estimated)
If you're Nitrogen
Everywhere and unbothered. You keep to your own tight pair, stay calm under almost any pressure, and only get explosive when someone works very hard to make you.
Nitrogen is 78% of every breath you take and your body can't use a single molecule of it directly.
How to get along with Nitrogen
Do
- Respect the distance; it is not hostility.
- Give them facts, not feelings, when you need a decision.
- Let them keep their small circle small.
Don't
- Don't try to spark them into enthusiasm on demand.
- Don't corner them; that is the one way to get an explosion.
When it goes wrong: Provoked past a certain point, everything goes off at once. Before that point, nothing does.
