Mortemate

undefined:

A mortemate is a headmate who is deceased, and may appear as a ghost, zombie, or spirit internally. This is not necessarily a metaphysical or religious phenomenon, but can be for some. It was meant to soften the name of and expanding on the concept of a "dead alter" in existing literature.

Some reasons a mortemate may present as such include:
 * Being a trauma or memory holder relating to near-death experiences, times they felt the body should have died, suicidality, or other death-related traumas;
 * An introject who is deceased in their source, or an introject of the concept of death itself;
 * A headmate that has aged to the point of passing or otherwise died in the inner world;
 * Performing death-related roles in the inner or outer world.

Related Terms
A mortemate may also be a mortician or dissonaut, as well as any of the terms above.
