Protoaster

Green Mesa:

Protoaster is an origin term for asters or backspaces that have existed or feel they have existed since the inception of the system, or throughout the life of the body before the system formed, in parallel to the system or pre-system person's outer life. This does not have to be a literal belief, and can be based on exomemories as well.
