Alters, explained ♥ Hey and welcome to our DID/OSDD series! In this post, we will be explaining Alters in detail, right down to different classifications. If at the end of the page you still have things you're unsure of, be sure to ask away in the comments! ROLES 📜 In every system, there are different alters that manage different things. These are called roles. The different roles include: Gatekeepers: Unlike the slang 'gatekeeping', gatekeepers aren't alters who keep information from people.
