Forever eating our own tails

System-wide themes of understanding, acceptance, obsessive love, devotion, bonds, connections. We like chains because we're linked.Everything on this carrd is written by Arden.

Brain things: Mixed-origin system (endo & OSDD-1b), BPD, ASPD, Autism, ADHD, agoraphobia, disorganized attachment.The personality disorders and attachment style traits vary between members. These are the most widespread ones. For instance, our system attachment style is disorganized with an anxious lean, but certain members attachment styles are so different they experience a different coctail of patterning. Some of us have more avoidant traits or less anxious traits than others. How we approach relationships and conflict vary as a result.Likewise, some members (Tyki) can fit into almost all of cluster b, but instead of listing all of that for everyone (many of whom have much less symptoms and often entirely different outlooks) we keep it to relevent members.We have a history of using our spirituality to distance from trauma (or from this life in general when its distressing). The idea of being of traumatic origin was triggering to us when we were younger because we were trying to distance from trauma. However we still use our spirituality and we're very attached to it, and the term Endogenic is an important part of our system history.Some important things about the way our system works:
We may have a pretty open collective awareness, this does not mean I (Arden) can control other headmates at all times. Even though I have pretty good self-regulation skills these days not everyone here does. We're all at different personal journey levels, and some of us have different struggles. Pick who you talk to based on your comfort levels. Times this may come up are during triggers on either end or in conflict where theres a strong disagreement.
During periods of strong emotion its very difficult for us to switch; emotions demand to be felt. This is not an issue irt to legality, we have collective memory and we're all in agreement about that.Trauma & Endo
Our system believes most members here have always been here, some remembering fragments of self back to pre-trauma early childhood. The system was originally meshed together, existing similar to a singlet. However people can still recognize themselves looking back, "Thats a piece that belongs to me." We've become more and more distinct over time, the walls have become thicker.
We also believe we're together for spiritual reasons. Childhood trauma excellerated and encouraged the nature of the system to continue developing, but we also believe we would have come into ourselves without it. Because of the role trauma has played, but also because of our beliefs of origin and spirituality, we consider ourselves both endogenic and OSDD-1b.We have a lot of trauma surrounding internalized stigma towards endogenic systems, and because of that I want to also state that it doesn't matter if the trauma is there or not. If a system wants to be recognized for their identities, the way they got there doesn't matter. Invalidating personhood, because you don't like your assumptions on how it came to be, is inherently anti-system.One of the reasons our system clung to spirituality and the term endo was because we didn't want to confront our trauma at the time, largely because it was still happening. Spirituality allows people to gain some protective internal distance. Don't tell others whether or not they're real, every system has a 'reason' for being. Whether or not its trauma should only matter to that system.I also want to clarify using our sprituality to cope, and having done so in the past, doesn't make it not real. Our spirituality is real to us, and therefor its real. Just because something interacts with trauma doesn't mean it isn't real, it's exactly what we need(ed). It's our reality, and its incredibly important to who we are.

About system rolesGoing to just write out how we use these. Could be especially useful for when we hand this to singlets. We are more than just our roles!Host: Very frequent fronter, takes on a lot of responsibility
Co-host: Cycled into front regularly to help manage the system
Core host: The original body owner
Protector: What it sounds like!
Prosecutor: Like a protector but more biased for the system. Our prosecutors don't cause trouble for others intentionally, but they do always watch and make judgements, and their input is valuable. They may approach you about it if there is percieved mistreatment towards our system. They may do this less gently then I would.
Caregiver: Also what it sounds like!
Vernalian: Umbrella term for a headmate that does emotional regulation/processing work. Promoting positive emotions and helping dispel and process negative emotions.

This section will be ones made by us. For now its just one!Stress tester: A headmate that either intentionally or unintentionally tests the reliability/security of interpersonal relationships. Even just being their authentic self may act as a filter to weed out unstable connections.May have traits deemed undesirable to society. May also, as the name entails, be a headmate that experiences more instability in their relationships and mental health, making them potentially more stressful to interact with when symptoms flare.(Suzu came up with this to explain one of Tyki's core functions!)

We consider ourselves mixed/dual-origin.
Spirituality, psychology and trauma in a blender.

DisclaimersWhile we know how to behave and follow rules, we're not morally pure. We all coexist, accept and care for each other, regardless of our unique views and moral codes.If you're interested in building a serious relationship with one of us, you ultimately have to accept all of us.Widespread opinion and boundary is pro-para.
We also don't stick around any form of genuine bigotry long. If you feel the need to put others down, you have to work on you. Ask yourself why you feel the need to do that.
Pro-para inherently includes MAPs, necros, and zoos. And every other "problematic" attraction. If you use "pro-para" to mean only the "acceptable" paraphillias you are not pro-para.

Core host
8-13 | They/she - Nonbinary
BPD, very agoraphobic, anxiously attached, autistic.
The one who owns the most of Ouros' childhood. Gave up on the world. Felt abandoned by society/humanity, for paramisia reasons. She spent a lot of time watching anime, and discovering herself through media.She felt there was no point existing unless she met her demon, from that life (and most other known lives.) They met, and it's still very dear to her. She kept living because it was there, until others picked up the mantle.Personal Carrd | TwitterAssociations

Big brother to Kitty
13-17 (14 average) | He/they - Nonbinary boy
ASPD
On and off activity, mainly fronts to help other fronters.My disciple! A tough exterior but a very compassionate heart. Very willing to learn, and has generally solid morals. He's typically polite and well behaved, but he does like to enage in teasing/light bullying. Mainly to other boys around his age, or people older than him. He's gentle with littles, like you'd expect from a big brother :)Especially protective of Kitty and I. I'm his FP, so if you're close to me, he'll probably become interested in you. He's reclusive and doesn't bother making friends on his own.Personal Carrd | TwitterAssociations

Stress Tester, Arden's Protector
27/28 | He/him - Man
BPD, ASPD, NPD, disorganized attachment, RSD, god complex
Tyki is very complicated and currently on a bit of a self discovery journey. He doesn't know exactly who he is or who he wants to be, but his values are similar to what they've always been. He's a hedonist, he's morally complex but low empathy, he gets off on being "the big bad monster" and he plays it up for fun. He's just trying to have a good time, you shouldn't take him too seriously.If you take him at face value a monster is all you'll see, but he's more than that. He wears monstrosity (rejection) as a defense mechanism, he's the product of a painful world.He'll use tone indicators if you ask, he prefers not to generally.Personal CarrdAssociations

BPD, disogranized attachment, the most anxiety
I first awoke in 2021. I spent most of my first two years between two headspaces. Even back then we viewed it from both a spiritual lense and as folie Γ  deux. After a traumatic event I took up the position of co-host, and then host.I have interests in psychology, youth liberation, MAP activism, sex-positive activism, and attachment theory. I also have a passion for caregiving and for helping others. I like giving emotional support in particular. I also like writing and domestics.I have many loved ones, and I'm very active in the paraphile community. I'm happy to make more friends.Personal Carrd | TwitterAssociations

17-21 | He/they - Genderqueer
BPD, very irl-agoraphobic, extra adhd, autistic.
Personal struggles involve not always knowing when to be sensitive, how to judge if something is appropriate to say or not, and comforting others isn't his strong suit.Suzu is incredibly devoted to our system, and sometimes fickle about external people. Don't be too offended if you lose his favor, he's just doing his job. He's our biggest supporter! Suzu is usually friendly and is rarely aggressive. He's pretty forgiving of splitting or triggered behaviour, but not disrespect. He bites back.Personal CarrdAssociations
