Plurality is the state of having multiple headmates collectively sharing a single body. A group of headmates is called a system. Plural experiences are extremely diverse. Systems may be spiritual in nature or secular, median or partitonary, small systems or ones with thousands of headmates.

Headmates should be treated like any other individual, and generally assumed to have their own unique personality. They usually have their own names, pronouns, aesthetic, and writing style. Referring to the system they belong to is often done using plural pronouns like we, us, them, they, although it is best to not assume.
