Unwilling Ally

I know about the Unwilling limitation to Ally, making it so that they Ally is unwilling to work for you, but how do you get it the other way around? In other words, how would I make it so that I am unwilling to have my own ally?

That doesn't really fit because the Ally is there, but I don't want it to be. That's it. It doesn't require me to do extra stuff or anything like that. It's just THERE.

"Doesn't really like Bob" is a quirk.

That's funny, cause this is for the "Bob" I mentioned in my Hallucinations thread.

He puts up with my abuse cause he's also my Enemy and wants to hurt me.

Then in what sense is he your Ally?

Probably just wish he'd go away, I'd imagine.

He also helps the character, as he has a vested interest in the character living since he "lives" in the character's mind. They have otherwise conflicting interests.

This is one of those mental construct kind of friend/foe things. Like the "Harvey" Scorpius construct.

I attempt to get rid of him. This is for my Hallucinations Ally, by the way. See here.
EDIT: Actually, sir_pudding is right. I just wish he'd go away. Good memory, sir!
