Age Forge / Age Forging: When someone grows up mentally rather than physically in some way. They would normally act more mature and maybe take on a more caring and a teenager or adult role while they’re mentally progressing. It doesn’t have to be caused by stress or trauma, but could certainly be. Like age regressors, they don’t stay the age or ages they progress to all of the time. Synonyms: Age Progress / Progressing, Age Develop / Developing, Age Strengthen / Strengthening.
Alder(s): A systemmate or systemmates who get older every year, not on the body’s birthday. If multiple systemmates do, they would likely get older on different days than each other but don’t have to. Over time, the systemmate or systemmates could look older in headspace, but don’t have to. What’s most important is they identify as a year older, every year. Synonyms: Uzee, Età, and Aldur.
Alder System: A system where everyone gets older every year, not on the body’s birthday. Though, one or a couple members could happen to get older then since everyone may get older on different days. Again, they all don’t have to look older every year, just identify as a year older. Though, they could all look older. Synonyms: Uzee System, Età System, and Aldur System.
Växer: A headmate or headmates that grow up with the body. So, every year on the body’s birthday, the headmate or headmates grow a year older as well. Synonyms: Grandir, Lumaki, Kukua.
Växer System: A system where all the headmates grow older each year as the body grows a year older. Synonyms: Grandir System, Lumaki System, Kukua System.
Foggy or Fogging: This is when there are too many members fronting or trying to front but there is no loss of identity. All the system members are aware of who they are and maybe even the other members fronting with them or trying to front with them. This could make it a bit hard for them to see through the body’s eyes and cause the body’s vision to be unclear for them but it doesn’t have to.
Absorber: A headmate who “soaks up” either the optimism or pessimism of other system members. They mirror that optimism or pessimism. Some Absorbers may choose to “soak up” both, though. If they choose to “soak up” or absorb the optimism, they may be seen stuck to the hip of the system Optimist (if there is one). In this case, they’d be trying to help the Optimist’s (or Pollyana’s) goals to lift the system up to better, happier places. If they choose to “soak up” or absord pessimism, they may be stuck to the hip of the system’s Worrier or Cynic (if there are any). They’d be trying to help with their goals to point out bad things that could happen and maybe even help disrupt system life.
Antagoniser: A headmate whose morals don’t align with most or all other system members. This could be in big or small ways and it doesn’t have to disrupt system life but could. They could also just be seen as a small annoyance rather than a disturbance but that’s doesn’t have to be the case either! It all depends how they interact with the other system members and how those other members handle their differing morals. Synonyms: Intimidator, Annoyer.
Artist: A headmate who has the most artistic talent. They can also be the only who expresses their artistic talents most as opposed to the one with the most talent. These talents can obviously include drawing, painting, and things like that; but, it can also include writing and just anything creative! Synonyms: Artiste, Artista, Artisan.
Coach: A headmate whose role is to make sure the system’s body is healthy with a healthy and balanced diet along with good exercise. They will often try to teach other system members about what they know to hopefully gain some help and support from them. Their success rate depends on how much effort other system members are willing to put in to keep up the effort. Some Coaches may also be helpful to system members in the mental health department as well, making sure everyone is mentally healthy or as mentally healthy as possible. Synonyms: Mentor, Trainer.
Cynic: A headmate that thinks very negatively, like a Worrier, but wants to disrupt life in someway for other system members or the system as a whole. They may do this because they want other system members to understand or relate to their constant negative emotions or because they have some anger issues or because of a number of other reasons. Their disruptiveness can be “small” things or things that are bigger. It all depends on how disruptive to life they want to be and how disruptive they’re allowed to be.
Emotionalist: A headmate that feels a lot of emotions, but is good at expressing those emotions to others. They are good at advocating their emotions to others as well as advocating for other system members. They also tend to be good at expressing the feelings of the system as a whole to other people as well. Whether this be through actions or words.
Escutcheon: A headmate who is very open with their feelings, but try to put up a shield of sorts so that external forces or internal forces can’t hurt them at all or not as much. They’re often system members that are normally described as being tough and don’t like the idea of being or being seen as vulnerable. They often times will try to detatch themselves from their emotions in someway, especially if any or all other system members are feeling the same or in a similar way to them.
Executioner: A headmate who tends to be a bit aggressive or off-putting to others; who feels the need to interject themselves into arguments outside of the headspace. They don’t try to calm the argument down or come to a compromise, instead they assert themselves into it and say their peace before potentially backing out. However, if the outside person they’re arguing with continues arguing as well, they may likely stay in front to continue arguing back. Often, they are inserting themselves into the arguments because they felt personally attacked in someway and the argument or person upset them in someway. Their goal is not to protect themselves or anyone else in the system, but to try to have their feelings and opinions on the matter heard. This can but doesn’t have to include headmates who may sometimes purposely and personally mess up relationships outside of headspace that they deem “not important,” “not worth while,” or they believe is somehow harmful to them and maybe even the whole system. Even if other system members don’t agree that this is the case.
Frijōn: A headmate who’s very friendly and wants to be friends with everyone inside and outside of the system. They love to work on group projects and are happiest talking to or making friends! Synonyms: Comrade, Chum, Frēond, Friund.
Hygienist: Pretty straight forward, but this is a headmate who makes sure that the body is kept clean and well-maintained in the hygiene department. They may do this by taking front when needed, at (a) certain time(s), once a day, and/or by keeping up with what other headmates are doing while in front to make sure they do their part as well.
Jokestar: A headmate who’s a jokester and looovveess being the centre of attention! Depending on their personality, they may be very helpful to a system’s Optimist. However, they can also tend to make jokes in a wrong situation. Some may even make a lot of dark jokes when they think it fits a situation, even if it may not always be the best time to joke or best thing to joke about. They’re contribution really depends on their other personality traits and how much they yearn to be the centre of attention.
Känsla or Kanslive: The opposite of an Emotionalist; a headmate who does very poorly at expressing their own emotions. Some may even do so poorly as to need another system member or the system Emotionalist to help explain for them to other system members or people outside of the system. They may even be afraid or uncomfortable to express their emotions but don’t need to be. This is not a result of a system member being non-verbal or otherwise hard to communicate normally with.
Lone Wolf: A headmate that sticks to themself. They may or may not be close with only a select number of system members or they may be close with most everyone in the system. However, they don’t tend to front much and don’t like interacting internally or externally in big groups. When they do front, they often like to do so alone (not co-fronting) and don’t engage externally with many people unless necessary. Just because they like to be alone, though, doesn’t mean they can’t contribute to the system or that they don’t have a lot to contribute. Synonyms: Loner.
Negotiator: A headmate who’s role is to settle disputes or arguments externally with singlets or other systems apart from their own. They find compromises where other system members may be reluctant to or too stubborn to even consider. They take pride in finding the “middle ground” that everyone can in someway agree on.
Optimist: A headmate who is always trying to find the good in things for themselves, the system, and others! Whether that be finding more good in an already good thing or the little bit of good in a prinarily bad thing. They try to boost other system members up when they’re down and are always looking for any of the potential positives in anything that happens. They also tend to be, but don’t have to be, the life of a party. Synonyms: Pollyanna.
Peacemaker: A headmate whose purpose is to find compromises for internal disputes between system members. They take pride in settling arguments for the better in which everyone is happy with the outcome.
Protescutor: A headmate who would technically be a prosecutor otherwise but they and/or their headmates don’t feel it totally fits or don’t like the connotations. Usually a headmate who “isn’t as much of a jerk” as persecutors are seen as. Can also be used for headmates who are both persecutors and protectors. Synonyms: Defender, Vigilante, Shielder.
Shida or Shidlive: A headmate who likes to cause trouble, but not always to necessarily disrupt system life. Like Jokestars, they like to be the centre of attention. Unlike Jokestars, they don’t always make jokes though. The amount of trouble and/or disruption they may cause depends on the headmate’s personality.
Syllogist: A headmate who focuses on logic and statistics when it comes to just about anything. They especially use it to determine how system wide or system member decisions might turn out. They can also tend to use it to justify their own feelings about certain things or to try to shut down their emotions if they view them as “wrong” or “illogical.” This can either be a headmate that already feels a lot of emotions or very litte or in between. Synonyms: Logician.
Timerkeeper: A headmate that “keeps time” for the system and makes sure the system is where they need to be on time (work, school, meetings, hangouts, parties, etc). They tend to get stressed if anyone (inside or outside the system) is running late but can sometimes also get stressed out if they tend to be places too early and have to wait for things to begin or other people to arrive.
Worrier: A headmate that often worries for the worst even if they don’t mean to. They often focus much more on the bad than the good, even sometimes finding something bad in something that’s primarily good. They don’t want to disrupt the system, but sometimes their over-worrying can do that. Synonyms: Pessimist, Downer.
Morceaux D’âme: A spiritual headmate term for systems that have some soul splitting going on; wherein some or many or all headmates are pieces of on person’s soul. They are still, usually, individuals though. While they may share some or many similarities to the soul they “split” from, they are their own beings and should be treated as such.
Parcelle D’âme: A spiritual headmate term for those who could use Morceaux D’âme but prefer this one. It’s also for those whose headmates all (or some or many) have different souls than each other.
Cruxen: For those whose spiritual system experiences split souls. This term is for the “core” or “original” or “main” soul piece.
Kroppens Ursprung: Sort of a synonym for “original” or “core” but wherein no headmates split from them and they just happen to be the first to control or enter the body. Primarily for spiritual systems. Synonyms: Kär, Tera, Ker.
Plurbéton (based on this term): A gender/orientation that’s static or primarily static despite plurality. Wherein all or most system members identify the same or similarly in at least one thing (orientation or gender). Most or all system members may identify this way due to passive influence from each other or just because they do.
