Otherkin
- People that believe or feel that they are not entirely human spiritually or logically, referring to unearthly creatures such as unicorns, demons, elves, etc.
Unicorn kin:
Unicorn kin are very rare, and they have a strong drive to find others of their kind.
Often depicted as white horses with horns, but not all unicorn kin see themselves as that description. Rather, their coat could be black or any other natural color. Along with appearance, not all unicorn kin believe in being "pure" as the unicorn is symbolized as in mythology.
Within the community, unicorn kin may also not even have horn(s), but antlers. These kin are called Qilin or the Kirin, commonly known as "Asian unicorns". In dream-shifts, they are seen as good omens. Qilins differ in colors.

Dragon kin:
Dragon kin is supposedly one of the original otherkin communities. The kin referred to as Draconic, can see themselves as either Western or Eastern dragons. The size of one's self-image is also not limited to the mythological depiction, and can range from very large to 'fairy' sized frames.

Elves, Fairies (Fae), and Nature Spirit kin:
These kin make up a large portion of the otherkin community. Even though one of the most populated and oldest communities, it has begun to decline. The kin that believe they are from another realm are called 'Elenari'. They base their community on culture, memories, languages, and history.
Elf and Fae kin vary in appearance, as all kin do; and many feel strong connections to nature and animals.

Angel kin:
Angel kin make up a fairly large amount of the otherkin population. Although commonly thought of as white, winged and heavenly creatures, this kin can also branch off into "ascended spirits" and "fallen angels". Some angels feel they even lack wings.
Fallen angel kin, though, have a fine line between fae and demons. Much debate has gone on about whether or what they are; but it all really depends on how one sees themselves.

Also, there is much controversy on whether or not there are god kin (Greek, Indian, etc).

Demon and Shadow kin:
Demon and Shadow kin are the most varied type of Otherkin, due mainly to appearance. The Bible depicts demons as dark and unholy, but to many kin, this may or may not be the case. Demons, and shadows, just have a more "dark being". Demon kin have an increase in numbers over Shadow kin, but both make up a great portion of the Oherkin population.
