"Headmate Type" Flag Template

Intended as an alternative to the "alter role" flag template, for plurals who dislike using medical terminology and role assignment.

This flag tells you about the "type" of headmate you are dealing with. Their personality, motivations, headspace form, etc. Their "type" is not necessarily their job or an obligation. It can even be something they choose.

This template is open for everyone to use :)
