Kintype
otherkin 認同的特定實體，類似於如何為 therianss 使用「theriotype」。Kintype 可以是神話生物、虛構角色或任何非人類生物。
深入
A kintype is the specific non-human entity that an otherkin identifies with on a deep, personal level. The term functions similarly to "theriotype" in the therian community, but applies to a broader range of beings — including mythical creatures, fictional characters, celestial entities, and other non-human identities that go beyond real-world animals.
Common kintypes include dragons, elves, faeries, angels, demons, and characters from specific fictional works. Just as a therian discovers their theriotype through introspection and self-exploration, otherkin discover their kintype through a similar process of honest reflection on their experiences, instincts, and deep-seated feelings of non-human identity.
Some individuals have multiple kintypes, or may have both a theriotype (real animal) and a kintype (non-animal being). The experience of having a kintype is not about wanting to be something — it is about recognizing that a particular non-human identity is already an intrinsic part of who you are.

常見問題
How is a kintype different from a theriotype?
A theriotype is specifically a real-world animal that a therian identifies with. A kintype is any non-human entity that an otherkin identifies with — this can include mythical creatures, fictional characters, or other beings that are not real-world animals.
Can you have more than one kintype?
Yes. Some otherkin identify with multiple non-human entities. Additionally, a person can have both a theriotype and a kintype if they identify with both a real animal and a non-animal entity.
How do you discover your kintype?
Discovering a kintype involves introspection, research, and honest self-reflection — similar to how therians discover their theriotype. Recurring dreams, phantom shifts, deep emotional resonance with specific beings, and a persistent sense of non-human identity all contribute to the discovery process.
