OKAY LIST OF ALTERS FOR MY SYSTEM GORDON HC (the Barney alter is based off a fic i read called Freeman Ranch btw‼️‼️) this is also set in hlvrai!

(all this stuff below is just some more stuff and adding a bit more to each alter)

i like to think that Source cofronts with Gordon all the time at work just to help with most of the tedious tasks that Gordon either doesn't want to do or doesn't know how to do. also, like i mentioned, i think Gordon pretends not to be a system bc it fucks with him really badly. however, him acting like his headmates don't exist has led to a lot nasty arguements with Mind, which leads to quite a bit of dissociation and time loss (Gordon also acts like his arguements with Mind are with himself and that he's just mad at himself, which pisses Mind off even more.) when the ResCas happens, Gordon ends up splitting from the amount of stress which causes Barney to form, and he takes up the role of protector. Barney especially helped Gordon through Benrey and Bubby's betrayal, but mostly stays back from fully fronting by himself.

most of the time when Mind fronts, it's because of high stress moments or traumatic experiences (he's also a trauma holder). when he fronts, he'll usually joke about trauma that happened to them when they were a teenager because he thinks its funny, not realizing that it just makes the science team concerned for them. sometimes Coomer or Tommy will ask Gordon about something Mind said but he can't give an answer because he a) has no idea what they're talking about or b) doesn't know what Mind has been telling them. there have been moments where even Bubby will ask about something Mind said and Gordon will just stare at him, confused and ask what he's talking about. the science team eventually stopped bringing it up but they're still pretty concerned, even if they don't act like it. Mind grew up with the system and used to be the host when they were a teenager (which was a rough time for the body), and is the same age as the body. he tended to be the most active online at the time out of all of them and had very edgy humor (which he still has even as they grew up).

also, something no one in the system but Mind knows is that Barney is (kind of) an introject of an old friends avatar in a game Mind used to play in his teens. Barney's personality is also heavily similar to Mind's old friend, Barmey (hell, even their names are similar!!) some of their similarities are that they both know how to play guitar, they love singing, they both have southern accents (nowadays Barmey has forced it away and acts like he never had one), and they both love country music. i think that when Mind saw Barney in headspace for the first time, he freaked out bc he recognized him as what Barmey's online avatar looked like.

ANYWAYS thats all i can come up with rn– i'm sure i'll think of more later and i'll make another post to add more when i do
