ALTER TYPES

brainmade: even though all alters are technically brainmade, people use this term to call alters that arent introjects. (brainmades can have "source memories" that the brain makes up)

introject: an alter that is sourced from an outside media (like celebrities, books characters, songs, literally anything). it is the brain's interpretation of that media (hence why alters are not their source) + it can be bended to fit what the brain needs and not just how the brain percieves said media.

fragment: an underdeveloped alter that split to hold a singular memory or have a very specific job. they dont have a personality outside of it. they may or may not continue to develop overtime though to become a fully developed alter. also feel free to check out our other rentry at the bottom for more on fragments.

fledgling: commonly in polyfrag systems, since we have tons of fragments, there are inbetweens of fragments and fully developed alters. thats what we call fledglings. alters who have more of a personlity and or qualities than fragments but not enough to be fully developed. they still feel a little hollow.

littles: alters who present as children, they may or may not chose to act like them as well. however they can comprehend complex things because they have access to an older brain. they may continue to act and like childlike things either due to re-enact some sort of trauma or to cope with trauma, or just becaause they like to.

middles: the same as littles except they are older alters but still children. could be 10-13 but it depends on the system.

adult parts: alters that present as adults. they cannot actually comprehend past the capability of the brain but they may have formed to comprehend in a more logical way of thinking to provide guidance.

ageless alters: alters that don't have an age. they can present in innerworld at any age though. (ex: an adult presenting ageless alter)

agesliders: these are alters that slide between ages, it doesnt have to be specific it can even just be little-adult or it can be specific like 2-4, 8-12, 3-20, etc.
