Thanks for the warm welcome everyone =) now I guess I have to answer some questions...
Seraphyna Wrote:... So how did you come to the conclusion that you're dragon-kin?
A lot of exploring myself basically... when I first discovered -kin just over a year ago, I figured that I should know my kin-type right away, because it's me and I should know what I am right away, so I rushed things and my conscious mind filled in the gaps. After a short while and some more 'soul searching', I ran into myself being dragon. My conscious mind started denying the possibility of being dragon, and so I tried to make the other kin-type fit me, which it never really did. At this point, I didn't know that my current "kin-type" I had settled on was just a figment of my conscious mind, so I was stuck between dragon (which I kept denying) and it. I let things go for a while and didn't really think about otherkin for a few months. Then I started digging again. My subconscious mind was basically screaming at me to figure things out, and it sucked a lot heh... so yeah, more 'soul searching', meditation and stuff, and I finally realized what happened and felt kind of stupid. I'd created a mask really, I can still use it to disguise myself from people scanning, if need be...
As for the nickname thing, I went by the nick "DarkTiger" on TFW.

I don't think there is a need for the term to change, just that it irks me... like being called a psychic... there seems to be some negative connotations associated with it, like people think we are faking something. As for what I would go by, to be honest, I haven't really told many people that know me about being -kin =P
