Shiftien

Shiftien is a type of Subsystem whose members are semi-seperated and able to exist within their own individual bodies in headspace, or share one body. Think of it as assembling and disassembling a subsytsem. There are two ways that sharing a body may present for this type of subsystem;

undefined:

A) The members share the body of another member usually but not always the Host.

B) The members will share a innerworld body that only exists when the shiftien is assembled

Shiftien subsystems can be of any type of origin, the members can form together as a shiftien or otherwise subsystem, or they can become a subsystem later.

Shiftien's may be able to assemble some members and not all members or they may need all members to assemble.

History
The two systems who worked to coin this term both have experienced this and wanted something more than "Semi-Seperated Subsystem" to describe their experience

the original name was going to be Subshift but that term was dropped after the original draft was deleted and had to be remade.
