Informant

undefined:

An informant is a programmed or conditioned headmate that was created by a handler through abuse associated with RAMCOA.

Informants are specifically programmed or conditioned to gather information about other group members or group enemies, and provide it to a designated person such as a handler, group leader, or other authority when cued.

Formation
This system role is a traumagenic role typically created through abuse and manipulation associated with RAMCOA. This type of role does not happen spontaneously; it’s nearly always forcefully created by handlers.

Not all informants may know that they are programmed or conditioned, and may display different behavior while on-duty versus when their program or conditioning hasn't been activated.

Related Terms
A reporter is a psychiatric term that is very similar to informant, though the main difference is that a reporter is programmed to gather information and snitch on fellow system members, whereas informants mostly work in shared reality regarding outsiders.

An informant may be considered to be a type of persecutor, janusian, loyalist, and can fall under program types such as codenaut, loyalter, sleeper agent.

History
This term was coined by the Vexed System on January 8, 2024 as an exclusive term for programmed or conditioned systems and headmates.

Flag
On January 27, 2024 the informant flag was created by the Vexed System, along with a few simpler versions.

Meaning
The shades of blue are representative of submission, yellow of deceit, orange and red of control and manipulation. The angles and movement signify the imbalanced power exchange.

The supine hand on the left illustrates the informant, the submission to the control of a handler, and the supply of gathered information. The reaching hand on the right depicts handlers controlling and manipulating informants, and receiving gathered information.

The chains symbolize the control and power over an informant, and the papers represent the gathered information.
