A section for terms we, ourselves, have made at some point.

• Constelic: An alterhuman term coined for those who adopt an identity, or multiple identities, throughout their lives. Someone is not generally born with a stel (constelic identity), but may be born with the general want or unconscious need to adopt or take on identities. These stels do not usually last forever, but they can last a very long time. Constelic also puts heavy emphasis on the fluid nature a stel can have; they may grow or dim in intensity over time, and you may phase from one to the next, either entirely or in priority.

• Phoenixal: A term that describes those with a particular kind of past life, believing that they died or otherwise left their past life, and were born again into this one. They may additionally believe that this process has happened many times before, and will continue in the future. An example is someone who was a deer in their past life that died, and was reborn again as a human. Also called fenikaen.

• Vesility*: The term vesil refers to when something affects many or all areas of someone's identity. For example, outer space as a concept shaping or affecting someone's gender identity, alterhumanity, systemhood, etc. at the same time, would be vesil.

• Aldernic*: An umbrella term for people who have, or wish to have, a body that deviates from what is expected in society, or typical human notions in general. More simply put, aldernic refers to someone whose bodily identity is divergent or nonconforming in some way.

And, a section for terms that we did not create, but did make a personal symbol for. 

• Extranthrope: This term, often shortened to "extranth," was coined by the Tumblr user @neutrois-lesbadger in 2018. It refers to a nonhuman member of a system.

• Kardiatype: A term that was coined by Tumblr user @angelic-polar-fox in 2020. The term refers to a past life that- while still being very important to an individual's identity- is not something they still identify as in this life.

• Nonhuman: A term that refers to someone who is not a human. It differs from alterhuman, in the sense that the latter may include those who have human-based identities (such as those whose kintype is a fictional human), whereas nonhuman strictly refers to those who are not human. 
  • Symbol We Proposed

*: Not exclusively an alterhuman identity. May refer to other things, but is used within the alterhuman community enough to warrant a mention.
