Hi.

I am an… avian gryphon. That's really the most I know. I'm unsure whether I'm feral or anthro, and I still aspire to seek more knowledge about… eh, myself.

I originally had heard about OKP when I had been browsing various blogs by Werelist users, and ultimately I found a link at Werelist again and decided to join. I've been for too long just at one forum, so perhaps there's something different to be found elsewhere as well. Turns out I was right.

What I did not know before was that there actually was a place specifically over otherkins. I pretty much thought two terms, therianthropy and otherkin, would have been just similarities. I had an expectation for Otherkin Phenomena to be completely different. But yeah, this very fact it's more otherkin-based makes me very curious.

Perhaps the biggest conflict I have with otherkins is the fact that I don't consider myself to be one, at least not clearly. For some others a gryphon is a clear otherkin due it being a non-existing species. I myself have often consider otherkin to be a feeling of being of some different race. While I do partly sense a certain affection to a race of gryphons, I don't feel alienated enough to be from any definite one. I just am.

There have been rumors that OKP is a very discussion-focused. If so, I might like this place after all.

Welcome <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> You'll find the forum a bit quiet at the moment, but you'll definitely get responses to any threads you make or bring back from the dead.

Welcome to OKP, glad you made it over here!

And while it's been quiet here, we are a more science-oriented forum. Hope you like it here!

ovO Thank you for the welcomes folks!

I may be able to give a few comments, at least. Some of the topics seem interesting enough on here.
