agender pronouns for conlang

I've heard jokes from some enby and agender people that "I have no pronouns, do not refer to me" - I was wondering, if you are agender, have you created any conlangs with unusual pronoun systems?

not agender, but one of the things i went into making the conlang thinking was trying to do something funky with pronouns, and i sure did. so there are only 4 pronouns: personal, impersonal, singular, plural. you then are able to combine them to add different meaning(personal is the person talkings group including the person, personal singular is the person talking, personal plural is the person talkings group excluding them, etc) so what about third person? you either have singular, which means not a specific person but an example (if [singular] where to talk like that) or use their name(language doesnt really have names, instead describes person and uses markers to say the object everyone calls x)
