all about system roles !!
also known as 'headmate roles'
- so, what is a system role?
a system role is something that does many things, one of which is give a headmate a specific "job" to do within or outside the system.
a protector, as an example, is a role specifically for headmates who's purpose is to protect the system. there are sub roles to this.
an example of a protector sub role would be an avenger, who's purpose is still to protect the system, but they're more likely to be an anger holder; and possibly lash out at people. from what's been seen, avengers are known to lash out at people outside of their system.
due to their anger and aggressive natures, many avengers are demonised and pushed under the "abusive" category, which is misinformation as they're doing what they can to protect their system, which is completely valid. instead of marking an avenger as abusive or violent, please stop and ask yourself why they're like they are. if they've lashed out at you, i would suggest backreading and seeing if they were front triggered by something, or if they were already there; and what point they lashed out at.
this is nowhere near finished! it will take a while.
