Limiting 'Kin Types

I'm luckily comfortable enough with gillmen to let that be my "main" 'type, but if that weren't the case, we'd all be in store for quite the list and this rule would very much cause trouble for me.

This is the first time I’ve heard someone describe it as a map! It’s really interesting; if you don’t mind me asking, how many are there or which others are there?

38, right now. I have them all listed here on my website. If you'd like me to go more into depth about it, I can create a separate thread for discussion.

The format on your website is fantastic! Easy to read too. If you have the time, I’d love to read more on another thread. :}

Thank you! I try to make things as easy to read as possible.

I made a new thread here!

Where do cladotypes and kithtypes fit in this? Im presuming cladotype = 1 kintype and kithtype doesnt count as one?

Asking primarily for myself but also just in case the clarity could be useful for others.

Clado would still be one 'kin type because, presumably, someone would experience one species within a clade at a time, not multiple species at the same time. My understanding is that the species within a clade simply switches for someone like that.

As for kith, they are not 'kin types. So while important to people, they're not inherently linked to being otherkin; it's a different experience.
