Traumalthuorma

undefined: Traumalthuorma describes a sysmate that originated from, or is connected to, a trauma-based nonhuman (TBNH) identity. It may refer to a sysmate who is the nonhuman identity, a sysmate that formed from another sysmate's nonhuman identity, an individual's nonhuman identity gains autonomy and becomes a sysmate, a nonhuman sysmate that mostly/only formed due to feeling a disconnect from humanity/their system collectively identifying as TBNH, or any other definition that may fit.

This origin does not necessarily mean that the sysmate's origin itself is traumaorma. An individual may identify as TBNH before becoming plural, and/or a walk-in may identify as TBNH before joining a system with the same TBNH identity. Even if the sysmate is traumaorma, the trauma that caused the nonhuman identity may not be the same trauma that caused the sysmate.

An example of a traumalthuorma sysmate may be a singlet who finds comfort as a dog TBNH due to being compared to a dog, forced to act like a dog, or had to identify as/with a dog to cope, and later forms a system with a dog sysmate. Alternatively, the sysmate may exist first, and then becomes a dog when the system later becomes TBNH.

If the TBNH identity is based on something specific, such as a fictional character, then the terms traumalthuject or traumalthutive may be used instead.

History
The traumalthu- prefix was coined by "G" of A Shattered Dragon's Spirit on the 18th of February, 2024. It was inspired by his own experiences as TBNH, and how it affects his bondsystem's functions and identity.

The flag's colours were inspired by plushself's TBNH flag, and uses the -orma template.

TBNH are those who became alterhuman due to trauma. Many individuals with trauma end up distancing from society, and this can go further to distancing from humanity in its entirety. This can cause a disconnect, or a non-human awakening. This term is not to be used by individuals who wish to dehumanise trauma survivors. It is only to be used in a positive manner by the survivors themselves. TBNH can include delusions, 'kin, therians, nonhuman sysmates, etc., that are caused by or connected to trauma.
