Absent alter

A term for an alter that rarely if ever fronts. This could be by choice or just because the alter cannot front / isn't needed in front too often / at all.

((term made by us. Flag made by us.))

this term was created by an anti endo, and would prefer that NON-traumagenic systems and their supporters do not interact or use this term.

Blurry Alter / Blurred Alter

[pt: blurry alter or blurred alter. end pt]

requested by 💎❤️ anon

An alter who just feels blurry to others when they front. You can’t tell who they are, it’s like when the front is blurry but it’s just one alter. You may be able to figure it out or may realize who it was later, but at the moment you can’t tell. You may be able to tell general age, whether they’re masc/fem/neutral/other/etc, and/or so on. But you still can’t tell who they are or can’t tell quite who they are.

LockHost

Ive been looking for a system term to describe myself for a while, and decided fuck it we ball and made one myself

A lockhost is an alter in a system that seems to be the 'main' host, and is almost always fronting. They may also decribe themself as 'front-locked' or 'front sticky,' but this may not always be the case. They may be able to leave front or the front area, but are usually aware of whats going on with front anyways, and they are quite often pulled back to front within a short period of time. Because of this, they usually become the bodies 'main identity' in a system.

Other alters may use the identity of the lockhost as a mask in the case that they do not want to show themself, and may also interact with or control the body via the lockhost. In the case of a lockhost being an introject, it would not be uncommon for several doubles of the lockhosts source to also be present in the system.

Lockhosts may also act similarly to 'Observers,' in that they are always aware of the body to some degree, and can quickly be pulled to front in the case that they happen to not be fronting in the traditional sense. The lockhost may also serve many other roles in the system, but not always.

In the case of a lockhost also being part of a subsystem or side system, they may or may not be a lockhost of those as well.

!!!THIS CREATOR OF THIS TERM IS PRO ENDO. I CANNOT STOP ANTI-ENDOS FROM USING IT BUT DO NOT INTERACT WITH ME OR MY POSTS OR I WILL BLOCK. ENDO NEURTALS ARE FINE TO INTERACT. PLEASE RESPECT OUR BOUNDARIES!!!

We are aware that there is a similar term to this that was made by an anti endo, however this term was coined without knowledge of the post existing. Do with that info what you will, keep us out of discourse. And like we said before, we don't care who uses this term, but we ask that anti endos not reblogged so we don't get dragged into discourse.

Cleanser

bunnykid ☆₊ ⁺﹒⋆

in relation to swankid and doekid, an alter role relating to syskids/young alters who hold/carry trauma related to abandonment and/or neglect.

this was coined to help describe why a bunnykid might be more easily trusting or more easily distrusting. some bunnykids may be flighty, while other bunnykids may be quick to latch onto someone.

coined by me. requested by no one.

[id : there are two versions of this flag. both have nine stripes and a bunny silhouette in the center of the flag, and one version of the flag has a heart-overlay between each stripe of the flag to blend the colors together. the flag begins with dark purple, then purple, then light purple, then yellow, then an off-white, then yellow, light purple, purple, and dark purple. the bunny silhouette is the same shade of dark purple as the start and ending stripes. end id.]

dynamic fictive & static fictive !

a dynamic fictive is a fictive that changes along with their source! they may change in appearance, gain new memories, adopt new mannerisms or have new opinions!

things that may cause a dynamic fictive to change are:

✖️ their source updating

✖️ the system reading a fanfiction about them set in an alternate universe

✖️ a system’s own headcanons for their source changing

a static fictive is the opposite of a dynamic fictive. they stay just as they were when introjected in spite of any updates to their source!

꒰⠀⠀♡⠀🦢⠀ ﹕ ⠀ SWANKID.

coined by the angel blade sidesystem, flag designed by doelike.

swankid - an alter role relating to syskids/young alters who have mature trauma, usually relating to sexual trauma and the like.

a more kid-friendly alternative for littlex in the case that an alter/system isnt comfortable with the term 'little' for system children.

the swan represents a gentle reminder to the alters experiences while also not revealing too much information, alluding to life-altering bonds formed in youth. swans are generally seen as elegant and youthful, symbolizing innocence and childhood.

this is not meant to romantizice or glamourize the alters trauma, but to make it feel as if it's not something gross or wrong with them.

Absent system

A term for a system that has lots of absent alters.

((term made by us. Flag made by us.))

mmm another term...behe

THIS TERM CAN NOT BE USED OR CLAIMED BY ENDOS, THIS IS AN ANTI-ENDO/NONTRAUMAGENIC TERM >:/

edit: since i saw a pro endo reblog and passive aggressively say that they "aren't going past thr boundry" and tagging this as syscourse, PRO ENDOS CANNOT USE THIS TERM. youre on our DNI anyway???? fuck off.

keyhost

term and flag made by me!

a keyhost is a host in which they are the "main alter" and rarely can leave front. oftentimes whenever they do leave they always come back in a short amount of time, as if they are bound to the front room/control room. this is similar to being permanently frontstuck, though not quite.

other alters tend to have to control the body through the keyhost, so outwordly it can seem like the keyhost is doing or saying something, when really it is another alter.

without key symbol

i havent seen any terms like this, other than an antiendo one that has some similarities so i made my own thing! tell me if this has already been done aha..

CLOWN: A clown alter is an alter who exists to cheer people up within or outside of the system, often times by joking around/being funny.

This tends to happen with a lack of good therapy or therapy at all, and can also occur when an alter needs support quickly.

It can be general system information, such as information about headspace locations, alters roles, relations, and activity, and other stuff.

This role is not meant to generalize or harm anyone.) CAMOUFLAGE: A camouflage alter is an alter that masks as other alters in the system, for good or for bad intent. These alters can also convince other system members that they are still fronting, on purpose or otherwise.

KNIGHT: A knight alter is a type of protector who specifically protects friends and family outside of the system.

Sum r non human (for example may b a robot/AI, or in my case, an alien, through otherkinship nd fictionkinship) nd r a species who don’t go thru the traditional birthing process, or they may be an alter in a DID/OSDD system who feels as tho they were never “born”, but instead split off/created!!!

Starplurid : a plurid in which the system have a collective identity relating to stars or identify with stars in a way that affects the system collectively.
