The "Ellis" System
Hello we are an autistic and physically disabled system, and although we all have our own names and pronouns, our system is called Ellis so that's what we go by and generally we go by they/them/their(s)/themself. We sometimes switch between singular and plural language when referring to ourselves, so we apologize for any confusion caused by this. We consider our system to be like a group of individuals who pilot a mech suit, so even when someone different is in control we still are externally identified by a single entity. Also, we don't feel comfortable sharing the names of two of our more vulnerable littles. We hope you will respect this decision.
Squicks, Triggers, DNI (for all of us)
Squicks:
- Religion
- P@r3nts
- Talking about headaches
Triggers:
- Fo0d/3@ting
- Ableism
DNI if you're:
- Transphobic, homophobic, ableist, ect.
- Try to religiously convert others
- Make fun of "picky eaters"
- Anti-age regression
Terms we coined
Terms we made flags for
Eagle
- Age: 17 (system's biological age)
- Gender: Autigender non-binary
- Pronouns: they/them
- Role: Host
- Non-reliability speaking
- Special interests: video games, cats, queer terms
- Species: Human
Eagle is our host so they front the most often. They hold trauma memories and have pretty intense sensory issues. They are also exploring age regression.
Ray
- Age: Adult (no clear specific age)
- Gender: Demiboy
- Pronouns: he/they
- Role: Protector and gatekeeper
- Monotone speech
- Special interests: they don't like to think about himself
- Species: Human
Ray is known for being outwardly cold and harsh. He doesn't feel emotions very deeply themself, and he tends to assume others are the same. They protect the system by forcing switches to get a more vulnerable alter out of harm’s way and they also antagonise himself to prevent Eagle from hurting themself. He doesn't get along with our other protector because their ideas are so opposite.
Sam
- Age: ~30
- Gender: Demigirl
- Pronouns: she/they
- Role: Protector and caregiver
- Average speaking
- Special interests: music
- Species: Human
Sam is hyper empathetic and always tries to make people around them calm and happy. She helps take care of the littles, sometimes singing soothing songs to help us fall asleep. We also play viola, and they like to take over at the most interesting and/or emotional parts of the music. They are in a relationship with Marth/Martha.
Marth/Martha
- Age: ~30
- Gender: Genderfluid

Kari

- Pronouns: glit/glitter (but glit is still trying some other nounself pronouns and emojiself pronouns)
- Role: Little
- Hypervocal
- Special interests: monsters (especially Monster High)
- Species: unknown
As a little without trauma memories, Kari acts as a reflection of the childhood we wish we had. Despite not being female or feminine, glit likes to engage in feminine interests (a reflection of how our system was not allowed to be feminine growing up despite being AFAB). Glit tends to be very easily excited, being sensory seeking and liking to stim a lot. While glit doesn't interact with people outside of the system very often, glit likes learning about other people's interests.

Little 3
- Age: 5
- Gender: Boy
- Pronouns: he/him
- Role: Little
