Hello there!

I'm Zero, and I'm a vampire/faery living way up north in the cold wastelands of Canada. I'm sixteen years old, and in terms of being awakened, I've known about my fae side as long as I can remember, and my vampiric nature for about six years. I generally listen to punk, goth, and metal and can often be found surfing the internet, or geeking out to anything on my Nintendo, Minecraft, Half-Life, Soul Reaver and the like. I swear, if it wasn't for the internet and video games, I'd go stir crazy on the nights I have to stay in. When I'm not being a nerd, I'm generally reading (mostly horror/supernatural fiction, some mysteries), watching old black and white horror films, drawing, or hanging out with my boyfriend. If you've got questions, feel free.

Hey, welcome to OKP!

Welcome to the OKP!

So, ifn't you mind that I ask, how did you come to the conclusion that you're vampire and faery?
(Default question; everybody gets asked. :] )

Well, I came to the conclusion that I'm a vampire just like everyone else does. I started to need to consume both blood and energy, or my health and well being would go to hell in a handbasket.

Coming to the conclusion that I'm a fae was a little harder. I always knew, somehow, that my soul wasn't human. However, until I was at least ten, I did not have an open mind to such a thing, and frequently repressed the weird things that would happen. After my awakening as a vampire however, the world basically got blown open for me, whether I wanted it or not. I decided to finally try and figure out WHAT my soul was. I'd known that I'd always felt phantom wings, so, that narrowed things down. I focused on what I would find a connection with, and never took anything at face value. I, at first, had an EXTREMELY heavy skepticism on otherkin. However, as I looked within myself, through introspection and past life recall, I started to give more credence to the idea. I remembered various past lives, but everything kept leading me back to faery. I decided to research the folklore on it, and was astounded to find many of the traits mirrored in myself. It took me at least a year to accept, then another six months of serious denial. For me, "awakening" as an otherkin was a process of opening my mind, and finding something that I always knew was there, but had never touched. My specific type of fae would be a leanan sidhe. They were notorious for inspiring artists, only to leave them drained and dying. I considered at one point that my need for energy was related to that, and vampirically I was just a sang. As of now, I think it may be related to it, but I don't think it's the direct cause. I'm of the crowd that thinks vampirism is genetic, and otherkin is spiritual.

And of course I brought cookies! Who doesn't like cookies? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
