𓆩⟡ System Roles ⟡𓆪

( please keep in mind that this is just our definition for each role , other systems may define them differently . )


:; Host
⤷ The host is the alter or alters who front most. Not really much to say outside of that. For our system the hosts know the least amount about the system for safety reasons. The less they know about the system the easier their job becomes. Plus they'll spend the least amount of time in the innerworld so the information isn't exactly needed either way.


:; Protector
⤷ Alters who protect the system and body. For us this means taking alters out of stressful situations by taking over main front, Help break up innerworld conflict, Deal with people outside of the system who harming the system, etc. There job is to make sure the system is protected and safe, pretty self-explanatory. Protectors job may also apply for people outside of the system. If a friend is being targeted or is in danger, a protector may front to help the friend.


:; Soother
⤷ Alters who sooth and comfort other headmates or people who are going through stressful things. While protectors are more focused on taking the stressed headmate out of the situation, soothers are more focused on calming down and comforting the stressed headmate. Like protectors, soothers job also applies for people outside of the system. If someone is stressed and needs comfort, a soother may front to help comfort them.


:; Companion
⤷ An alter who formed for the soul purpose of keeping a specific alter company and protect them.


:; Avenger
⤷ Alters who act harshly to people who hurt the system as a way of protecting it. The "more extreme" protectors. If someone is abusing the system, avengers will match the persons energy and fight back.


:; Persecutor
⤷ Alters who harm the body, other headmates, or people outside the system. They are not "evil alters", they are just misguided protectors. They may feel as if harming the system will make it stronger, so when the system is under stress again it will know how to deal with it. Or they may try to ruin new friendships as a way to save the system from the hurt of losing a close friend. There can be many reasons why persecutors do what they do, but more then often persecutors are just major trauma holders who are trying to protect the system. DO NOT TREAT PERSECUTORS LIKE MONSTERS.


:; Pleaser
⤷ An alter who's whole purpose is to people please. They'll always put others before themselves and do anything to fix problems. They'll switch off their own emotions when others are in need of help. Etc


:; Guard
⤷ Keeps track of the persecutors. That's really all. Just the persecutors babysitters.


:; GateKeeper
⤷ The bosses of the system basically. For us we have 2 types of gatekeepers: one who manages memories and what alters can remember what, and one who manages who is allowed in front. Both gatekeepers have the final say in all system decisions. They also know the most about the system and it's workings. If there is a problem in the system they're the ones who protectors and other alters go to for directions.


:; Manager
⤷ Basically the gatekeepers butler /hj. They help gatekeepers call people to front, sort through memories, make big decisions, etc. They may also step in for gatekeepers when they aren't able to do their job.


:; S.A.D Manager
⤷ Stands for Split and Dormancy Manager. They do exactly what the name says, they keep track of new alters who have split and alters who have gone into dormancy. Not much else to say about that. In our system they're also the only ones who have access to the CCTV footage of the innerworld and know the most about the system, even more then the gatekeepers.


:; Researcher
⤷ Researches and watches alters who we know little to nothing about. They can also help alters figure out what their role is.


:; Caregiver
⤷ The parents of the system. They take care of mainly the littles but also pose as a parental figure for other members of the system who may need one.


:; Healer
⤷ Basically just heals alters who have gotten hurt in the innerworld. They might also take care of the bodys injuries.


:; Impersonator
⤷ An alter who pretends to be a different alter as a way of protecting the system. Maybe someone untrustworthy has asked for a certain alter to front, they'll pretend to be that alter to keep them safe and away from danger. Or maybe a certain alter is needed but can't front for some reason, they'll pretend to be that alter. Maybe an alter is having a hard time masking, they'll take over front and do the masking for them.


:; Emotion Blockers
⤷ Alters who block and numb everyone who's in fronts emotions, usually only when someone is having a major break down and only used as a last resort to calm down front and the body. Some emotion blockers can control when they block emotions but most of them can't control it, so they prefer to stay away from front to avoid unwanted emotion blocking.


:; Pain Blocker
⤷ Very similar to emotion blockers, they block pain. If the body is in a lot of pain they'll heighten our pain tolerance to make the experience more tolerable.


:; Emotion Vault
⤷ An alter who holds and bottles up large amounts of negative emotions so others don't have to deal with it. They will more common then not be happy or seem stable as to not worry people outside of the system. Their whole job is to bottle things up and appear "fine".


:; Mood / Energy Booster
⤷ Boosts fronts mood or energy to help with depressive episodes. These alters usually very high energy and high spirited. In our system they are kept in the dark about system drama and outer world drama as a way to keep them stress free so they can do their job better.


:; Productive Alter
⤷ An alter who takes care of things like doing laundry, school work, house work, etc. They do the chores that other alters might not have the motivation to do.


:; Sleep Alter
⤷ Fronts to make the body feel tired, making sleeping a lot easier.


:; Social Alter
⤷ Takes care of most of our social situation and is way more open to talking to strangers and leaving the house.


:; World Builder
⤷ Does construction on the innerworld like, fixing things when they're broken, or adding new rooms when a new alter forms, etc.


:; Symptom/Emotion/Memory/Trauma Holder
⤷ Symptom holders show more symptoms of some or all disorders. Emotion holders feel certain emotions more strongly then others or may feel those emotions 24/7. Memory holders hold memory's or certain life events. Trauma holders hold trauma memories so others don't have to know about what the body went through.


( This list may change in the future as we may have forgotten some , or new alters might not feel suited for any roles listed . Feel free to use these roles in your own system , we don't own them lol . And again , these are just OUR definitions for these roles , other systems may have completely different definitions , there is no right anwser when it comes to roles . )
