Welcome to OKP!

Welcome to Otherkin Phenomenon, or OKP for short.

Otherkin is an umbrella term that encompasses the belief that all or part of someone's personal identity is something other than human. This can be explained by mental wiring, psychological reasoning, past life memories, spirituality, etc. There are subgroups under this including, but not limited to, therianthropes, angels/celestials, demons, vampires, fae, elves, dragons, walk-ins/multiples and fictionkin. Otherkin choose to identify with that non-human fragment of themselves to the point where they count it as a permanent and ingrained part of their personal mythology and/or identity.

OKP is focused on discussions regarding otherkin and the various sub-types that tend to fall under that umbrella term. Everyone is welcome here, regardless of nationality, gender, sexual preferences, race, religion/spirituality, political persuasion, personal creed, etc. whether they identify as 'kin or not. However, most discussions will focus on the experiences associated with being 'kin.

Sharing the experiences, thoughts, feelings, the discovery process, if you're questioning, etc. that goes along with being otherkin is highly encouraged here.

OKP has always been a place for intelligent, critical-thinking. Please treat other members with respect and courtesy, but questioning and even asking the tough questions is allowed. We expect our members to act in a civil, adult manner at all times (outside of the appropriate sub-forums, of course!).

Please read the rules before joining and posting.

Once you've created your intro thread, one of the staff will reply with questions to make sure you're active and then after you've answered their questions you'll be granted access to the rest of the forums. As our staff does have their own lives offline, please try to be patient as activation may take a few days.

This forum dates back to 2008, so it's one of the oldest otherkin forums still around.

Let's keep OKP a safe, fun and interesting sanctuary for 'kin like it's always been!

Thanks for reading and welcome to OKP!
