How Many Hosts Do You Have, If Any?

[pheonix_system]

Our host count is kinda complicated.

Our total count is 9. However, only 4 can be considered main or primary hosts, while three of the others are hosts of subsystems or Solar’s sidesystem, and the other two are are the hosts of our sidesystems. The last four are all hosts in the main system, so we tend to front more than any of the others.

Also, bonus question because I’m curious: Do other systems have hosts who are also caretakers? Asking because three of us have both roles (me being one of them) and I’m just curious how common it is for these two roles to be found together.

We do have people who fit the "fronts often and handles daily responsibilities" definition, but we generally don't use the term for ourselves. Though if you ask us, the fronting frequency is the less consistent aspect of the ones in here who do handle day-to-day stuff. The one label we have in place focuses more on how well we handle daily life than our fronting frequency because this works better for us. Assuming these members all count as hosts, we'd have around 50 or more of them. If we only count someone who fits the basic definition, we do have one currently. But again, we don't use the term. We treat our system as a hostless system regardless.

Bonus: using the above assumptions on what counts as host, pretty sure everyone would help take care of each other and the body if needed when they're around, host or not. So we don't really think of any of them as host-caretakers. However, we have what people might call host-protectors.
