Persecutor Classifications

☀️ Sunlit Persecutor

Synonymous to talator, a sunlit persecutor is a system member that doesn’t purposely attempt to be harmful or damaging to the body, but ends up repetitively doing so. Sunlit persecutors may be misguided protectors attempting to protect the system or body, but end up having the opposite effect.

✨ Twilight Persecutor

A twilight persecutor is a standard persecutor; a system member who intentionally harms the system, other system members, or the body. What sets a twilight persecutor apart from the other classifications is that unlike a sunlit persecutor, they are intentionally causing harm. However, unlike midnight persecutors, they are do not harm people externally and/or have a clear limit to where their harm and behavior starts and ends.

🌌 Midnight Persecutor

A midnight persecutor may be a prosecutor; a system member who intentionally or unintentionally harms those externally. However, a midnight persecutor may also be a standard persecutor with less hard-limits to their harm than a twilight persecutor. They may find themselves causing harm or pushing for more without even consciously doing so.

🌑 Abyss Persecutor

An abyss persecutor is a system member loyal to another persecutor, and is willing to go as far as it takes to fulfill their wants or goals. Alternatively, they may be instructed by external sources, such as traumatizing events, abusers, and other circumstances.

🕳️ Trenched Persecutor

A trenched persecutor is the system member abyss persecutors often respond to. They’re “heavy-hitting persecutors” that have their own complicated wants and needs that they wish to enforce on the system (or others). They couldn’t care less on whether their actions come off as malicious and may even thrive on that fact.

Moirapluric (♦️)

A relationship that can be similar to a queerplatonic relationship. Moirapluric partners have a deep connection based on support, protection, and/or compassion.

[septembersanctuary]

We’ve received multiple messages about this today, all of which were accusatory or hostile. We were incredibly confused, especially since we aren’t on Twitter much

Please take the time to look at timestamps or even gently ask about it if need be. There’s no way we could’ve predicted someone coining a different term of the same name in the future

[septembersanctuary]

can you describe Liaison more

Sure! Liaison is based off of a pre-existing word, usually it’s used for a representative that acts as the medium between two companies. We initially coined it for members that don’t belong to a group, or exist in between them, much like a floater traveling between layers in headspace

We used to think of it as “group 1, group 2, and liaisons”

Hope this helped!

[septembersanctuary]

Antegenic Does a based version exist?

Not that I know of, but Ante-based could work!

[septembersanctuary]

Vardian

Do not use if you're against endogenic systems or a community exclusionist.
