that could be interesting!!! pretty challenging, but interesting. as long as you steer clear from like, offensive steryotypes or talking over irl system's experiences you should be fine there, but it would be challening bcs plurality is INCREDIBLY diverse. It's one of those things where if you pull two systems from a group one's experiences will be COMPLETELY different from the other.

I'd recommend looking into the different types of (medicalized) plurality (OSSD-b, OSSD-a, DID), then reaching out to a few systems to get their input on how their form of plurality functions. You'd also wanna mark down key parts of your character such as, Do They Have Amniesa? Are Their Alters Completely Separate People, Or Do They Feel Like Parts Of The Same Entity? Does This System Have An Inner World? How Big Is It? Do They Have Subsystems? Do They Have A Lot Of Alters, Or Just A Few? even if you don't end up utilizing these in your story, it should help to get a better image of how this system WORKS and how they think and experience shit.

I hope my completely base-level advice on character building helps a little bit lol, I kinda found this post at a good time bcs I'm feeling creative and plurality is one of my hyperfixations because I just came to terms with the fact that I'm plural so I like did an ass-load of reaserch on it lol.

Seriously talking to real systems is better then just medical reserch (though that can be good too) because this shit is soooo so subjective, but I hope you have fun if you decide to do it /g

yeah its definitely alright with us! its nice that you want to get more representation on the topic. if you want some advice, just try not to give misinformation as that can be misleading! /g/nm (also i hope this made sense i feel like i said it in a weird way lol) mariocar
