thetruthbetweenWhat name do you want to be referred to as?
Nic or Nicole is good.
What is your 'kin type?
The short answer is "anthropomorphic black panther" but 1) it's vague as well, 2) it implies an animal with human characteristics, which is inaccurate, and 3) people tend to take exception to my use of "black panther" as a descriptor. So the long answer is this: picture what appears to be a human crossbred with a melanistic jaguar. Biped (although I think it can also be quadruped), digitigrade, furred, sentient, articulate (but uses feline vocalizations as emotional expressions). Obviously, it's not something from earth. Which is part of the reason I prefer "black panther" over "melanistic jaguard/leopard" -- because it's not a jaguar or leopard.
How long have you been awakened?
I suppose that depends on your definition of awakened. I've known that I'm a human-shaped black feline for as long as I can remember. Certainly before puberty. But I didn't hear/see the word "Otherkin," or even learn of the concept of it, until Christmas day, 2009.
Describe your awakening experience.
Er... I'm not sure I really can? I don't know, it's just something I've always known, it's always been there, and I've always been aware of it. There've been times that I've pushed it away, but it always came back; I could never ignore it for long.
If you're non-kin, what brought you here?
N/A :)
So just a note, I'm doing a 30 day Otherkin/non-human challenge on my journal, if anyone wants to take a look. I'm only on day 1, but it should be at least a little bit interesting :)
