plural-exclusive term guide ! ( only use these if you're not a singlet !
some will have exceptions for DA's, but that's all ! )


• any type of system role ; this includes terms like host/co-host, fictive, factive, introject, ISH (internal self helper), {emotion/disorder/similar} holder, littles/middles (except when referring to age regression), and brainmade, just to name a few.

• source ; a source refers to some material that a headmate came from. Headmates with sources are typically introjects, although this isn't necessary and can be present in non-introject alters. (ref : multiplicity and plurality wiki : source)

• faceclaim ; disclaimer!! although this isn't exactly system-exclusive, it shouldn't be used by singlets who don't have a da to refer to an edit/drawing of how they remember themselves in that media. // A Faceclaim is when a system member uses a voice, body, face, etc. to represent them in the headspace and external world (through profile pictures or aesthetics). (ref : multiplicity and plurality wiki, introject empathy : related terms)

any type of term relating to source ; this includes terms such as sourcemate, source trauma, source memories, and doubles. you can find definitions of all of these here. these are all introject-specific terms, only to be used by plural people.
