Hey There.

My name is Eric, but I go by a few other names as well. I'm the "host" of this system- kind of like the "main personality" that folks deal with when interacting with us in general. We have a disorder known as DID, or Dissociative Identity Disorder. I'm not somebody who's really qualified to educate about the disorder, but to put it simply I share my brain with some other personalities due to trauma I sustained as a child. If you're interested on how this occurs and what this exactly means for me or others with DID, I encourage you to ask questions and do some research on your own!!

In the meantime, here's a sort of FAQ about our system specifically.

Q: How many alters are in your system currently?
A: Right now there are 7 of us! The most there have ever been in this system has been about 14 and the least was probably around 3 or 4 at any one time.

Q: Why the "Delta" system?
A: Albany picked it out years ago! It has to do with one of his kins but also I love triangles and things in groups of three's and also the letter D so UH it just kind of happened!! I have no idea how others get their names but I like to think (hope) that everyone else's methods are just as abrupt as ours was.

Q: You kin and have DID? Are they related?
A: Not related at all!! I do kin- sometimes for more "spiritual" reasons and sometimes to help with my identity issues (some of which do stem from DID, but others relate a bit more to my gender). Kinning can help a lot with giving me a good sense of identity sometimes, but there's definitely people who don't kin with DID and vice-versa.

Q: What is it like living with DID?
A: Like living with a bunch of different people in your brain, I suppose! It's not something easy to describe, and from what I understand it's something different for everyone. For me personally, I'm still able to maintain a career, relationships with friends, family, and a partner without DID/multiplicity getting in the way. It can make some tasks have extra steps maybe, but so can almost anything in life. It's just a part of me/us to some degree!

Q: Why do you make a lot of generalizing statements and vague comments about Dissociative Identity Disorder?
A: There's a few reasons for this, but probably the biggest is that it's usually awkward to talk about!! It's not really easy to explain to people how I feel in general, and especially when I talk about my DID I find myself struggling more than usual when it comes to explaining my feelings/emotions. I have my struggles, with DID, but I don't want to add on to any stigma that it's a "bad" thing to have!! DID shouldn't be some scary thing! But I also get nervous about the idea that I'm making DID seem like an amazing thing to have. It's something I'm grateful for, in ways, but it also is a literal product of repeated trauma in my life. ALSO. I'M NOT EDUCATED LIKE AT ALL so it makes it hard to say what is personal/anecdotal and what is concrete fact about DID- I never want to be anyone's main resource for education on DID if I can help it lol.

Q: Are you a covert system? Or overt? (or, am I stealth or open abt my disorder?)
A: I am mainly covert/stealth about my DID! It likely isn't safe for me to be open about it, so I don't risk telling many people. A few family members are aware but don't personally know many (if any at all) of my alters. Some close friends are more aware and possibly acquainted with a few headmates, while my partner is fully aware and knows my system more fully.

Q: So, if you're covert then, why make a carrd?
A: WELL in the future, I am hoping to not have to worry about hiding my DID, and possibly even getting an official diagnosis (money/anxiety/safety get in the way of an official diagnosis, unfortunately). I feel like to some degree, being able to be open about having a system (at least somewhat) helps cope with that and might be a good transitioning tool once I am finally able to be open about the disorder!

Q: How are you sure you have DID without a diagnosis?
A: While there are some disorders that can share symptoms of DID, I'm not particularly aware of any that are closer to what I experience than DID. I am fully open to learning I may have OSDD, or some other disorder that could be better specified. But until then, again due to my limitations, I'm self-diagnosing. Self-Dx shouldn't be used all the time, but it can be helpful when figuring out what habits and lifestyle will best suit you in the future (at least that's my main reasoning behind it).

Headmates

+ Eric +

Hi!

I'm Eric, but if you read any of the other pages on this carrd we're already acquainted! As you know, I'm the host of this system and that's maybe all you really need to know about me? Depending on how much you interact with our system in general, I'm assuming you've probably talked to me the most out of everyone else already.

UHM I like a lot of different things, but my main interests lately are Pokemon, Digimon, and general "Furry" stuff! I really love fursuiting, drawing, and in general being creative (I have too many hobbies and never enough time). OH and I am currently the only one in the system dating someone! I love my partner they are amazing KFJHDS

+ Harbjurn +

Hello : )

My name's Harb and I use He/Him pronouns mostly, but I also like They/Them and It/Its. I'm the original for the system and I'm also a little (kind of? I'm 13 and the body is 24 so at least I'm little compared to everyone else). I like video games and anime and animals. I also like watching animated things mostly. My favorite movie is Bambi right now but I also really like Cardcaptor Sakura (not a movie but another animated thingie I love a lot).

+ Albany +

Howdy! 🤠

My name's Albany! I don't front a lot compared to almost everyone else in this system but I'm co-con pretty often. I'm one of the dudes who ended up kind of deciding roles in the system aren't that fun so I don't have one! I do what I can, when I can, y'know?

I like driving and going out for walks when I do front. I enjoy indulging in escapism and encouraging others to do the same as well- open world and sandbox games are what I enjoy most. I also really like all kinds of music but my favorites are fast/dance kinds! Aside from that I'm good at crane games and I like to try and learn magic tricks. 😎

+ Davey +

Hey there!

I'm Wash! I'm also known as Davey or Dave (but I really don't like the name David so please avoid using it for me if you can). I'm like York and I don't have a role myself, but I do whatever I can for the system as a whole. I enjoy doing a lot of cleaning and small tasks since it helps me to feel accomplished! I deal a lot with anxiety and external stressors personally so things like that are a must for me to cope.

But it's not all bad at all!! I have a good few hobbies and I'm pretty invested in my spirituality, so it's not like I'm all work and no play :D I'm not the most social guy, but I do my best for sure, so if you want to chat sometime I'll be down to at least try!

And before I forget to mention it, I do age slide a bit- my most common age range is in the early twenties like the body, but it isn't uncommon for me to have 16-17 or 30+ days. It's a weird thing to experience and an even weirder thing to explain, and genuinely I would prefer to not talk about it much because it's closely linked to personal traumas.

+ South +

Hey

I'm South, and that's pretty much it. I like fantasy and sci-fi genres and I like both watching films/shows and reading a lot. I like things like The Dragon Prince, Night in the Woods, and Genshin Impact to name a few random things I've been into lately. I do some cooking and stuff but my main "job" is to be the system's primary protector. I take a lot of pride in keeping us as safe as I can, and it makes me happy to keep us grounded.

I've been pretty heavily invested in Dragon Therian/Otherkin communities over the years as well, so if you're interested in talking about that kind of thing I should be down. Like Wash, I'm also into Witchcraft stuff as well if that's something else to talk about.

+ Pike +

Heya !
My name is Pike! I'm the "youngest" here in that I'm the most recently developed alter! I don't have a ton of hobbies and things I enjoy like everyone else just yet, but so far I like video games, like the rest of these nerds XD Overall my favorites are Kingdom Hearts and Pokemon! I also like watching the others play whatever they like, just like how I love hearing about people's favorite things! I'm a bit on the quiet side, but listening is super fun and nice!! :D If you like something feel free to mention it to me!!

+ Maw +

Bark!

Hello! My name is Maw and I'm one of the system's protectors! I used to have a more "aggressor"-type role in the system at the height of our trauma, but now I get to just lay around mostly! I like going out for walks and collecting things!
