Constelic is an alterhuman term for someone who collects identities of animals, fictional characters, mythological beings, and otherwise. It is often done by choice, though it is not always, and constelic identities can be dropped, hoarded, and have priority over others. Constelic identities are often casual, “in the background”, or not very intensive, though this may not always be the case. Furthermore, there may be specific tiers of how much someone relates to said identities.
These identities in question may be called constels (ex: “I have a deer constel.”) or they may just be called an ID. Constels may also be referred to by a word related to the identity, along with the suffix “-stelic” (ex: I am deerstelic). Someone who is constelic may range from only having one ID, to having a very large number of them, or anything in between.
Reasons for why someone is constelic may vary. Popular reasons may be because of hyperfixation, projection onto characters, a need to “hoard” things (possibly due to neurodivergence), or simply for fun.
If one's constellic identity and gender overlap, they may call themself constelicgender.
