Anger is information.
“I'm not mad. Okay, I'm mad. But something under the mad has been trying to get someone's attention for a while.”
Aarg is a Sea Schnerd from the Gowanus Canal, angry because home has gotten toxic. Anger isn't bad behavior, sometimes it's trying to tell you something important.
The part of you Aarg carries
Aarg is a gym rat, the loudest one at the arcade, and always the first to tell you exactly what's wrong with his day: the bed, the toast, the rain, the whole thing. It's a good bit. It's also how he keeps anyone from asking what's actually going on. Anger is the one feeling that doesn't ask him to be vulnerable in front of anybody, so it's the one he lets people see. Underneath it is something quieter he's not ready to say out loud yet.

His name comes in three lengths, Aarg, Aargh, Aaargh, not three different Schnerds, just how long he's able to hold the feeling before something quieter underneath it shows through.
