˗ˏˋ ANARCHY SYSTEM ´ˎ˗
The Anarchy System, previously known as the Aether System, is an endogenic gateway system formed by soulbonds. We collectively use the pronouns they/them.
You can refer to us collectively as Kaos.

information
01
The nature of our system is not pathological and we do not claim to be such. Please refrain from referring to us as a DID / OSDD system or any of our headmates as "alters", "fragments", "parts", etc. You can refer to members of our system as soulbonds, headmates, or ghosts. 02
The body IS neurodivergent in other ways, such as having ADHD, autism, OCD, and some other stuff, and it has experienced trauma, but this is not what caused the system to form. The body is also a 21+ adult and we prefer to avoid interacting with minors in most spaces. 03
We are a gateway system comprised of soulbonds who have passed on from their origin, much like a sort of rest stop in limbo. Soulbonds will come and go. If you have questions about this, please feel free to ask, but we will not respond to syscourse bait to defend the existence of our system. We just are. We also have a bondsystem. 04
The Crux (alternative to "Host") is largely front-locked, though headmates can still co-front occasionally. However, this can be very difficult and our headmates primarily communicate through the Crux with proxies. 05
There is a second layer to our system that exists as the Crux's soulscape where he communicates exclusively with a Kankri soulbond who still exists as a ghost in his universe's dream bubbles. This layer is inaccessible by any other system member.
06
We do have members who are minors or ageslide to a younger age, so please be conscious of what content you're sharing when speaking with a specific headmate. Ages and age ranges can be found on the members page, and if you're ever unsure, please ask. 07
Some collective system boundaries are as follows:
Always ask before using pet names for anyone.
We find it difficult to use and interpret tone indicators. It is more helpful if you directly state the intent behind your message.
Doubles are welcome to interact with anyone in the system, but we are wary of anyone who claims to be our canonmate (i.e. someone we shared a timeline with) due to past experiences. It may take us a long time to trust you enough to believe that.
Members of our system no longer partake in system hopping due to past experiences. If you claim someone in our system travelled to yours, we will know you are lying and you will be blocked.
08
We have recently developed a subsystem comprised of the Crux's kintypes. These past lives still share the Crux's innerworld body, but now exist autonomously within their own innerworld. You can find information about these system members on the Crux's kin carrd.
before you interact
This page just contains some points to keep in mind prior to interacting with us, such as our collective stances on certain topics, quirks you might encounter while interacting with us, and some other miscellaneous details about the system.
Obviously we are endo-friendly and we will not interact with exclusionists. We also won't be engaging in any syscourse.
We support MOGAI and neo-pronouns.
Sourcemates are welcome to interact with any of our headmates, be they fictive, fictionkin, or otherwise.
We prefer not to interact with anyone under the "KFF" umbrella (i.e. "kin for fun"), including copinglinks or "clinks". Our experience with fictionkin is defined by spiritual reincarnation and it's difficult for us to try to discuss our past life experiences with someone who only uses the term to define their relation to a character, rather than their identity.
We kindly ask that you do not vent to us. We generally have low empathy levels as a whole.
The body struggles with depersonalization-derealization disorder and experiences occasional memory loss. As such, we may not be able to recall certain events, people, or interactions, and/or may not recall them happening at the correct time.
You are welcome to ask individual headmates questions. Just be sure to specify whom you're addressing, and please note that not all of us will be able to respond right away or at all sometimes.
Some headmates were considered "villains" in their timelines. They are generally not dangerous to interact with, but please be careful around Sebastian. He has a bad track record even though we try to keep him in check.
If you have questions about anything else not addressed here, feel free to ask!

questions & answers
Q
Why did you pick your system name?
We originally called ourselves the "Aether System", which we felt described us best in the earlier stages of our system as we collectively felt like a nebulous cluster of people and thoughts and feelings we didn't wholly understand at that point. Since then, we have begun to go by the title of "Anarchy System" now that we have formally rooted ourselves in our beliefs and identities, which are still rather chaotic, but our sense of community with and respect for one another has developed beyond just that.
Q
What does "endogenic" mean?
It's a term used to define a plural system that wasn’t explicitly formed by trauma, though this does not mean the “host” or “core” of the system is without trauma entirely, nor does it mean that an endogenic system is wholly non-pathological, as endogenic origins can range from spiritual, emotional, or from other mental disorders, but not DID / OSDD.
Q
What is a "gateway system"?
It's a type of plural system that possesses a “gateway” that allows system members (commonly referred to as headmates, mindmates, or walk-ins, amoung other terms) to pass to and from the system freely from some other universe / dimension / paracosm or other plane of existence.
Q
What is a "soulbond"?
A being, soul, or spirit which “latches on” to the soulbonder and may originate from another universe / dimension / paracosm or other plane of existence in which the soulbond lived previously or lives currently and may either exist tangentially or intersectionally with the soulbonder’s plane of existence, meaning the soulbond could still reside within their physical body in their original plane of existence while their “soul” can interact with the soulbounder, or that the soulbond resides only within the “soulscape” of the soulbonder.
Q
How did you become/find out you're a system if not through trauma?
(Crux speaking; d/rmancy tw) The grittier details will be omitted for personal reasons, but in a nutshell: I was around 10-12 when the Originals first appeared in the headspace and were thought to be imaginary friends of characters in a fictional media I was all but obsessed with at the time. They were all very different from me and acted in ways I didn't like sometimes, which should have been the first clue, but as I got a bit older and denied myself their company because I thought it was "childish" to keep them around, they either left through the Gateway or went dormant (and may still be dormant for all I know). Flashforward a few years and I met someone (our abuser) who introduced me to the concept of plurality and I was like...huh. That sounds familiar. People started popping up again, mostly just as disembodied voices at first, until there was a full-blown city in my head. I was in denial about it for a long time at first because my abuser was staunchly anti-system altogether (despite claiming to be the equivalent of a system himself), but here we are.
Q
Opinion on syscourse?
(Crux speaking) I think a lot of syscourse stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of how and why endogenic systems form and exist. For starters, a lot of exclusionists are under the impression that we are invading DID / OSDD spaces and/or claiming symptoms of the disorder when the very meaning of "endogenic" is the opposite of that. Plural experiences are as unique and varied and nuanced as any other experience surrounding identity and belief, such as religion, transgenderism, and otherkin. I don't think it's right to invalidate someone's existence and experiences simply because you personally don't understand it. That's really all there is to it.
Q
How do you know you don't have DID / OSDD if you've experienced trauma?
To be perfectly candid with you, we don't know that for absolute certain and we have no intentions of pursuing a professional diagnosis to find out. The way we exist now is perfectly okay with us and our spiritual experiences are so integral to who we are that, as far as we are concerned, this is the only way we can be, and that's okay, too. Is it possible that our headmates are truly parts of the core who is fictionkin with all these people? Sure. We're not going to lose sleep over that possibility, though. There's also the fact that we display very few symptoms associated with DID / OSDD, and our trauma didn't occur in early childhood / adolesence. We know that doesn't rule out the possibility completely, but it's just a point to be considered.
Q
How are you, the Crux, able to date your own headmates?
Very easily, actually. You see, when people develop romantic feelings for one another, the typical next step is to enter an intimate relationship together. That's how we do it, anyway. Hope this helps.
Q
What happened to your system?
(Crux speaking) After I left our abuser, we experienced a System Collapse wherein we lost a good two-thirds to half our headmates in the span of like a month. Many of us were negatively impacted by what happened and some of them couldn't take it. Some of those headmates have found their way back, but many of them are still MIA. I miss them a lot and I wish I'd had the foresight to avoid putting everyone through what we experienced.
Q
You believe in system hopping?
In the metaphysical sense of the word, yes. We actually have one permanent soulbond (Wisely) who system hopped to us from our abuser's "system". We hesitate to call it that for reasons stated previously on this page (re: the question about how the system formed), but Wisely, for one, proved himself to be real when he chose to stay with us. However, we no longer partake in system hopping because our abuser claimed that our headmates would travel to his system and do and say things that were very unlike them. Very few instances were intentional on our part, while most of the time we were just confused because...that shit didn't happen.
