Tormented, known as Ash or Ashley, has foregone many of the necessary roles of a leader. He has shed the more feminine aspect of his name, "ley", and monikers a identifying signal of his own mental state. As the creator of NCM, and the guide of rebellion against, YCM, Ash displays an ordinance of control, perspective, and outcome that comes from collectively bringing together a group of liminal agents, on the outskirts of jouissance, desire, and familial bonds. By forgoing his own appearance, "clothes", in this sense, and constructing a more mythical narrative behind his persona through personality, title, and model, Ash exposes the ontological boundary between being and becoming, between appearance and performance. In this essay, I will expose the nature of this gap that Ashley illustrates, illustrating that it is not his "clothes" that matter, nor his it the words that he delivers; it is through the community which recognizes his "clothes" and performance which sustain the illusion. Instead of Hans Christian Anderson's "Emperor's New Clothes", Ash's own ontological leadership is much more along the lines of him wearing clothes, and we all call him naked.
