Successor

Not to be confused with leader, an executive position in-system
A successor is a headmate that has been designated to become host after the current one. Depening on the orderly fashion (or lack thereof) of the transfer of responsibilities and power, this designation may occur before, during, or after a host transfer period has passed.
Such a transfer differs from a co-host or temp-host taking over for a limited time. 
A successor may be chosen by one or multiple hosts who plan on stepping down soon, or they may be selected by the system itself if the current host is unable to (satisfactorily) fulfil their role. 
=== Subtypes ===
* An heir is a successors who is meant to take on a spot in an in-system government.
* An inheritor is a successors who is meant to take on the responsibilities of running a system without a specific in-system government structure being present. Headmates may be more likely to inherit such a position based on their formation, such as a pseudo-originals, though this is not always the case.
* A leader is a successor who is meant to join an in-system government, like an heir, but declines the position of authority while retaining their responsibilities. They may even attempt to abolish the existing government structure, and may not use the power they gained from the host transfer except when necessary.

Succorer

A succorer is a type of caretaker and protector who gives help in times of need, distress, or difficulty. 
Like caretakers, they may be able to help soothe, guide, or help process emotions, but are also available to protect a system from external harm, traumatic memories, harmful members of the system, or other threats like protectors as well.

Succoured Front

A succoured front is one in which the current fronters need help in fronting, or else they are unable to. 
This can be due to many reasons, such as (but not limited to):
* the front rejecting them
* being front repulsed
* headspace disabilities
* needed accessibility measures in headspace
The help in fronting could simply be having something or someone to comfort them, or it can be much more complex.

Succubus

Succubus is a catchall role for any type of headmate that is affected by, has tasks or roles related to, or generally is described by anything sexual. This may be used to describe headmates who cannot find a specific role that fits them, or it may be used to describe a headmate that has multiple roles, or who fluctuates between roles, that revolve around sex, sexual content, sexuality, and/or more.
==Related Terms==
* A succubus headmate may be a sexual protector, sexual alter, sensual reliever, erosian, sensuanaut, appellisian, hyperérosian, or any other similar role. Or they may feel like none of these other roles fit.

Suicide Absorber

A Suicide Absorber is a headmate who holds suicidal thoughts, memories, or acts. This headmate may be either more suicidal than the rest of the system, or significantly less due to desensitization, absorbing the thoughts and feelings from other headmates.
It is more likely for this headmate to attempt suicide themself, and can often be monitored by Controllers or Lifelines.

Summeric

Summeric is a gender related to being any Summer from any universe. Summeric is feminine-in-nature, but also encompasses masculinity due to a near-infinite amount of possible Beths. This term was coined in reference to fictives, but can also apply to fictiokins and IRLs. Can also be used as a sexuality.
== History ==
Morty E and Morty – of The Destroy Boys were struggling to define their gender. They could only describe it as being themselves. In reference to the Rick and Morty episode "Bethic Twinstinct," they coined the term Mortic. Richard of the same system decided to follow suit, coining the terms Rickic, Jerric, Summeric, and Bethic.

Summoner

A summoner is a sentient headspace who has the ability to summon headmates/living things to their headspace by calling for them (verbally or not), and the called ones do not have the option to resist being summoned.
==Specificity==
Even though this role is independant, it may occasionally be considered a Regulator subterm, depending on the reasons of the summon.
* If, for example, the sentispace desperately needs the help from specific headmates to do some emergency maintenance and summons them for this purpose, then the sentispace would be acting as a regulator.
* Whereas if the sentispace wants to teleport a malicious headmate from one point to another to confuse them / preventing them from reaching a target, then the sentispace would be acting as a protector.

Superimpose

"Impose" redirects here. For the term for intentional hallucination, see imposition.
Superimpose are a type of headmate that has a stable sense of identity, yet also has multiple versions of their self or states they change between.https://localhazard-wikiblog.tumblr.com/post/710181980912959488/a-terminology-source (archive)
Typically, a superimpose is also unaware of which self or state they inhabit at any given moment, though this is not always the case. For some, discovering which one it is may simply require effort and introspection. In other cases, it may be entirely or mostly impossible to tell, and any changes are only identifiable in retrospect.
Superimpose could be viewed comparatively through the lens of a literal definition of Multiple Personality Disorder, as rather than having multiple identities of their own - which would be better defined by being or having a subsystem - they experience changes in personality and self-perception. However, this doesn't mean the origin of superimpose headmates can't be or isn't dissociative. In fact, superimpose are often dissociation holders, especially for identity alteration and identity confusion.

Supernova

A supernova (pl. supernovae /-viː/ or supernovas) is a headmate that is very intricately intertwined with most, if not all, headmates within a system in one way or another. Should that headmate experience a very intense emotional breakdown, there is an extremely high chance of at least the feelings of that breakdown bleeding over into the headmates they're connected to. The risk of connected headmates also having their own breakdowns due to the emotional bleed is also quite high.
== Name ==
"Supernova" was chosen as the term for this definition because of the sudden and powerful burst of emotion that can be emitted from the headmate at the center of these internal connections, similar to an actual supernova.
Another reason "supernova" was chosen is to make it not seem as scary as it sounds or feels in the midst of one. Though it is ultimately up to each individual's interpretation whether or not the chosen word actually does help ease the anxiety that emotional breakdowns can bring.
== History ==
The term "supernova" was coined the day after Aria of the Hope's Legacy System had one such emotional breakdown. It had been intense enough to bleedthrough to six of the seven other headmates within their system at the time. Meteion of the same system then suggested the term on the Pluralpedia Discord the next day after thinking it over with the system as a whole. Facing no criticism for the term, Aria proceeded to create the page you see here today.

Survivalmate

Survivalmate/Survivalist is a role in which a headmate fronts during survival situations in order to live/exist through the situation. Survival situation can mean a situation that requires emotional survival skills such as masking, recognizing red flags, setting/keeping boundaries and etc., and/or physical survival skills such as fighting, medical knowledge, wilderness survival knowledge, etc. This differs from a protector because they do not generally want to live through a situation to protect the system, but because they have the skills to live through it.
Headmates with this role may be considered a protector but not always. 
== History ==

Swankid

Swankid is a role describing syskids and young headmates who hold/carry trauma specifically related to sexual trauma. 
This is a more kid-friendly and non-suggestive alternative for littlex, in the case that a headmate/system isn’t comfortable with the term little for system children.
The swan represents a gentle reminder to the headmate's experiences while also not revealing too much information, alluding to life-altering bonds formed in youth. Swans are generally seen as elegant and youthful, symbolizing innocence and childhood.
This is not meant to romanticize or glamourize the headmate's trauma, but to remind them that there is nothing gross or wrong with them.
== History ==
Swankid was made on August 10th, 2023, coined by the Angel Blade Sidesystem, with the flag designed by Doelike.https://www.tumblr.com/doelike/725299482602979328/swankid?source=share

Sweetheart

Sweetheart is a role for headmates who tend to over-mask traits or symptoms such as anger issues, low empathy, low sympathy, Cluster-B personality disorder symptoms, and more. This is usually to try and appeal to others or please them. They may take on an overly "kind" or "innocent" persona, but not always.

Switchanchor

A switchanchor is a system member who helps their system to stabilise during episodes of rapid switching by rewiring the brain. Specifically, they smooth switches when fronting, which may not stop the switches fully but make them less disruptive or allow a member like a host to remain stable in front while other members simply co-front.

Switch Capacity

A system's or headmate's switch capacity refers to the amount of switches they can execute with relative ease. If the switch capacity is approached or reached, or if the system's or headmate's switch spoons are getting scarce or used up, switching may become harder or cause more headpressure. Similarly, after some time without switching, the system or headmate may become switch-eager and aim to fulfil a minimum of switches, as opposed to being limited by a maximum. 
Switch capacity may be measured in distance between switches, with shorter distances being more strenuous, or in frequency, with a certain number of switches being easily handled within a time period. 
For example, a system may have a general switch capacity of five minutes, meaning that their switch spoons are fully recovered five minutes after the last switch, or they might have a switch capacity or five per day, meaning that they can handle up to five switches per waking day without issue. A headmate may have a switch capacity of several hours, denoting the break time they need between switching in and out, and they may become switch-eager after a few days, leading them to pursue a somewhat regular switching schedule. 
Switch capacity may also refer to any other measurement or combination of measurements that fits the definition. 
==Related Terms==
A system's or headmate's switch inertia may be independent of switch capacity, or it may increase when switch capacity is approached in an attempt to conserve switch spoons or fulfil switch-eagerness.

Switching

Switching is when the current fronter(s) of the system changes. The term is used in the medical field.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8131380/
This can vary between something that happens constantly, or by accident, to something that requires much effort or happens only once a day or once a week. The experience of what switching is like also varies between systems.
Switching can also take varying amounts of time, which can sometimes result in blend states in the in-between time.
==History==
The change of current fronter has been described as "switch over [to another member]" as early as 1972, referring to the observation of a front trigger as "evocation [of another member]".
Switching as a specific term has been in use since at least 1982, and may have been further elaborated on and popularised by Putnam in 1988 with his classification of multiplicity as a "state-change disorder".Kluft, R. (1982) Varieties of Hypnotic Interventions in the Treatment of Multiple PersonalityPutnam, F. (1988). The switch process in multiple personality disorder and other state-change disorders

"Switchy" is used by some systems when they are switching a lot or if they feel like they are about to switch.

Switch Inhibitor

A switch inhibitor is a headmate, object, situation, or action that prevents switching for a limited time. During this time, the front may be considered to be in front lockdown. 
A switch inhibitor my be specific to the current fronter (for example in the form of a front grounder) as well as to particular headmates that may attempt to switch, or to the front, sisasystem, or system as a whole. 
A gatekeeper may put a front into lockdown to prevent switches, and as such may act as a switch inhibitor or perform switch inhibition. 
If a system's switch capacity is reached, or if all (other) feasible fronters are switch sleepy, this may serve as a switch inhibitor as well. This state may occur accidentally but may also be provoked or enacted purposely by a headmate to ensure a longer fronting time. 
For dissociative systems, intense situations that require uninterrupted attention may act as switch inhibitors. For adaptive systems, situations that negatively trigger members to fulfil their role (such as protectors) may serve as switch inhibitors. 
==Related Terms==
If internal communication is disabled as well as switching, or other specific headspace sections are cut off, front lockdown may overlap with system lockdown.

Switchlag

Switchlag refers to a period of discomfort a headmate may experience after coming to front. During this time, the headmate may feel uncomfortable in the body, or unaccustomed to the system's life. The feeling may be akin to breaking in new shoes, or wearing someone else's clothes, and may dissipate with passing time. 
Switchlag may be experienced by headmates that haven't fronted in a while, or that have switched in after another headmate has been fronting for a long period. It may be situational, or specific to a headmate or system.
==Related Terms==
Being front repelled or experiencing reality dysphoria similarly describe discomfort that may come with fronting, though they are usually caused by an underlying issues and may not quickly dissipate. 
Switchlag may be caused by a frontstuck headmate switching out.
Whiplash is the intense feeling of negative emotion, or dissociation, that comes over a headmate when entering front.
Residue is caused when a headmate leaves front or a layer/area of a system and leaves an echo in front or that area.

Switch Management

Switch management refers to how systems manage switches and how switches occur.https://system-dictionary.carrd.co/#structure
* Managed Switching: Fronting/switching is controlled and managed, like by a gatekeeper.
* Reactive Switching: Most switches are reactions, or triggered.
* Voluntary Switching: Most switches are voluntary, or controlled.
* Mixed: Mix of voluntary and reactive, either having both equally or having both types cause a switch at the same time.
Systems may not fall into these categories easily, and the type can change over time, or differ between sisasystems.
