Otherkin: Otherkin are people who are kin with an non human creature (either existing or not existing) or animal species. This can be from mythology, or straight from real life depending on the person. These people believe that they are or used to be that creature in whole or in part depending on the particular person. Otherkin identify as non human creatures.

Fictionkin: Fictionkin is when a person is kin with a fictional character. This person may for whatever reason believe they are this character or used to be this character at some point. Fictionkin identify as characters.

Disclaimer: My fictionkins are moreso reflections of my personality and identity than they are any sort of spritual connection. Fictional characters are simply other peoples' OCs and I do not claim to be them, nor do I believe that I am any sort of reincarnations of them nor the 'real manifestation' of said characters. Kinning characters (to me) simply means that I see myself in said character and/or wish to be more like them myself. I do not condone all of the actions of these characters, and there are certain aspects of each character that I may not identify with or agree with.
