roleic
A roleic (pronounced "roh-LAY-ick") is an identity experienced by a system member in which they feel a certain thing is tied to or involved with their role, status, or experience in the system, without that thing necessarily being the role in and of itself. Roleics can center around just one thing, or one roleic term may have multiple things involved with it at once, much like how xenogenders can be comparing the gender to just one thing or to multiple at once. Reasons a system member might want to designate something a roleic include: -they interact with that thing as part of their role (e.g. "foodroleic" for a caretaker whose role involves preparing food for the system) -the way they experience their role involves that thing (e.g. "historyroleic" for a trauma holder who has a timeline wherein the equivalent of the system's trauma from this life happened to someone in a different era of history) -it has to do with their origin as a system member (e.g. "maniaroleic" for a system member who split during a manic episode) -it has to do with their in-system identity (e.g. "magicroleic" for a fictive from a fantasy series about magic) Some might conceptualize this as "a xenogender but for system roles", which would not be fully inaccurate, but these are not inherently genders. They are comparable to xenogenders in the sense that, like how xenogenders are related to things one would not necessarily typically think of as relating to genders, roleics are related to things that one would not necessarily think of as relating to system roles. This is also different from xenorole in that a xenorole is, in and of itself, a role. While someone might consider one's roleic to be one's role as well, the definition of roleic is that it is or feels INVOLVED in the role without (necessarily) being the role itself. A roleic can be used to describe how one experiences any type of role, or multiple roles at once, and what constitutes a "role" in the first place is up to the system member defining themself. This can also be used for aspects of the system experience that the system member does not consider part of their role but still thinks is part of their identity as a system member.
