Actually I think you are an "equal opportunity" antagonist. A protagonist
is a hero who supports. An antagonist is one who fights the hero or is a
thorn in someone's side. Therefore when you are "blasting" you are an
antagonist. Of course I have also seen you being a protagonist, especially
for the Alpha/NT combo.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today
is God's gift. That's why they call it the "present".
