    Older siblings are either righteous defenders of the downtrodden or attention hogs blinded by the limelight.

      Ah, understood. Unfortunately I dislike attention and am wicked, and therefore must apply for reassignment.

          Excellent, I will notify my bother that I am the younger sibling now.

          Update: he accepted the role of eldest and agreed to fight my battles for me.

      I thought the stereotype was that we beat the shit out of the younger siblings. Gotta keep those lil shits in line.

        You beat them up, and protect them from smaller predators, as they’re your punching bag and no one else’s.

        It didn’t work for me, mine was younger enough that beating up his bullies would send me to prison. All I got to do was call him names, and that’s only half the fun.
