Alters all have "jobs" in a system, that mean they preform a specific task or role. For example, a protector's job is to protect the system or a specific alter in the system. See "Mini Glossary".
Fictional introjects are medically recognized. These introjects use the identities of fictional characters to refract and fictionalize trauma, as well as help separate them from the host. These identities can also help them with their job. Alters form as these introjects, and usually as a result of serious stress or trauma. This is not the same as "kin" - these alters are formed as these characters, with no choice in the matter, and the idea of ... may 19 2017 ∞
