Removed individual profiles as of 2025/08/11, because we keep forgetting to update them.

The about page on our system Tumblr has what we're comfortable sharing publicly wrt individual information, though we have the same problem with forgetting to keep it up to date.

If we've interacted directly before, feel free to ask for our Simply Plural username through whichever channel(s) you know us from!

If you've somehow made it here without knowing what a plural system is, we recommend these resources, which themselves link to others:

• morethanone.info is a clear and concise "plurality 101".
• In French, the Partielles website is an INCREDIBLE resource for all things plurality.
• The Plurality Playbook is a resource meant to "help employees and managers understand dissociative disorders, as well as plurality as a whole". It's workplace-oriented but can also function as a general guide.
• The Layman's Guide to Multiplicity also contains more in-depth explanations. Even though it's an older resource (last updated 2004) and the terminology is sometimes outdated, and we don't agree with everything in there, we really like its debunks of common myths about plurality.

• What do you go by collectively?

The Salt Institute / Salts.

• How should people refer to you?

Individually when applicable, as much as possible. Collectively if addressing all of us, talking about us as a whole, or mentioning things we did together as a collective.

• What terms do you prefer for referring to yourselves as individuals, or as a group?

As individuals: sysmate, sysmember, person, guy, Salt.

As a group: system, collective, guys, family, Salts.

Please don't call any of us: "alters" (term we don't like); "parts" (of a single person), "personalities", or ...

Many of us are fictives . We use the term for two kinds of folks here:

• people made by the brain based on a fictional character ( brain-generated fictive),
• or people whose soul got transferred from another universe into this one, where a version of their universe is depicted in a work of fiction ( walk-in fictive).

(Sometimes it's both; sometimes we don't know or care; sometimes psyche material gets moved around between, or assigned to, our people regardless of how they initially joined us.)

From all of us fictives, please remember we're people, separate from our fictional character counterparts, and treat us accordingly . In particular, this means:

• This isn't roleplay. Regardless of your opinions on our identities, we're actual people, with independ...
