The id ("das Es", cf. Latin id, English it, German es) is the psychical system "which behaves as though it were the Unconscious", or the "dynamically unconscious repressed", in effect, the reservoir of need-gratification impulses such as the primitive instinctual drives of sexuality and aggression. Freud believed that the id is inborn, operating on the dynamics of the primary process mode of thinking. The drives of the id are said to work according to the pleasure principle, requiring immediate gratification or release without concern for external exigencies. Though hunger itself may be seen as a pure id desire, the crying of the hungry infant is already an instinctive attempt to relate, that is, to communicate that need to the object of the drive in question, namely, one who can help to satisfy that need. Thus drives are linked to object relations, as Freud observed in his 1895 essay "Project for a Scientific Psychology".
What is a Gear?
Gears are Human-shaped robots used for fighting. Most Gears are powered via slave generators that draw energy from Zohar.
Who is ID?
Id, a form of the subconscious mind according to psychologist Sigmund Freud, is Fei's destructive side. This coincides with Freud's principle of the "Id" versus the "Ego". The Id is the "instinct" side of the subconcious: it craves self-gratification. The Ego, in turn, is the logical and less instinctual side. Moreover, the Superego is the side that decides the balance between the Id and the Ego. In this case, Fei is the Ego. Id wants to destroy everything and cause chaos, while Fei's ego side is stable and peaceful. The third, recessive persona existed as a catalyst and the balance between the two: the Coward, which is a representation of the afforementioned "Superego" in Freudian psychology. In Fei's case, this takes us into Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID for short. This is also known as Multiple Personality Disorder, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. When Id asserts himself, Fei's hair eyes and skin change color. His brown hair turns a redish-pink, his brown eyes turn bright yellow and his dark tanned skin turns a sickly pale. In some DID cases it has been documented that when various personalities asert themselves people have been known to change eye color in a blink. The seeds of Id were planted because of the trauma that Fei suffered as a child at the hands of his mother, Karen Wong. As a small boy, Karen was possessed by Miang. Fei was taken to testing labs and hurt mentally and physically. When he dissociates, he becomes insane, destructive, and extremely powerful. Because of this, Fei was indirectly responsible for his mother's death, as well as the destruction of Lahan Village. Also, there is a scene in "Xenogears" where Fei sees into his subconscious mind. He sees the "Coward" personality, and the "Id" personality. The Coward and Id walk off, then Id says to Fei, "Sorry, but you can't come.". Whenever Id surfaced Fei's Gear Weltall transformed into Weltall-Id-, a blood red Gear of incredible power with six glowing wings made of energy.
I am called "ID"
For a very long time I was one with a man named Fei, call it his "ID" if you will. I was considered by many to be his "evil" side, but to me I was the side with limitless power who feared nobody or nothing. Call it what you will, it makes no difference to me.
Just recently, I have found a way not only to supress Fei, but to completely stop him from having any control over this body. This took much research, and part of how it worked involved my tricking of Fei into becoming one with me. Once I was able to do this, that is when I took control. Now, I am free to do as I please, and seek that in which I have been searching for all my life.....
