Natiden
(“Nati” = from, “den” = identity)
An umbrella term for identities only fully understood in context of a certain fictional culture(s), society(s), etc; generally, either it can only be understood by those who were raised in, from, or otherwise connected to said fictional culture/etc., or the identity just can’t be explained through meanings detached from the cultural context, having a specific meaning tied to that culture.
The prefix / suffix for natiden terms is nati, but terms don’t have to use the prefix / suffix unless the coiner wants to do so. This term can be used for genders, alderns, or anything else. Specific terms can have “den” replaced, so natigender for genders, natidernic for aldernic, that kind of thing.
An example term: “piglionati” (piglin + gold + nati) would be an identity that is tied to the Minecraft piglin’s significance to gold within their fictional society. Whereas goldgender would just be a gender related to gold, piglionati could not be understood without its significance to being a piglin / being from piglin culture.
Can be connected to a specific region, dimension, planet, or otherwise. Only for fictional cultures / societies / etc., not real ones, as to prevent people from claiming closed cultures or identities.
Generally this is for alterhumans, system members, and others with memories of being a part of a fictional society or culture.
