If I knew what the hell I was I'd surely tell you.
I very well could be one of those otherkin, but I'm not sure which one.
Describe what a fey is and I'll tell you.

a soul is a soul: it has no gender, no race, no ethnicity, nothing like that. it IS, however, very manipulatable, and can often times feel like it is part something else. but that feeling can change in the blink of an eye.

as an experiment once i caused myself to feel like i was half-elf (going by my own ideas of what an elf and a half elf might be), then i went on to half-cat, then to vampire, then to part-God. it's just a feeling, and the soul has sooo many of those.

A fey is a type of blood-drinking, vampire faerie from Celtic legend... Hate to tell you this, kuro, but if you haven't just made that up out of whole cloth, someone else did.[]

what you are/become is governed by your choices, even if you where a "demon" in a past lifetime/ cycle, doesn't mean you can't be an angel in this one

I have no doubt that your karmic baggage from your past incarnations affect your present day life, but in no way does karma affect your choices or what you are.

Otherkin is a theory, not a proven fact. I have been doing quite some research on the topic out of curiosity, and have found a lot of contradicting information, from which I conclude that, as usual, not everything you read about it is to be trusted.

From what I read, the races you mentioned is just a tiny bit of what according to the Otherkintheory exists. I will share the general idea of what I found with you guys here, it's quite an interesting subject, whether you believe in it or not.

The Otherkintheory says that souls are reincarnated. It says that certain creatures from other worlds/dimensions/planes are reborn on Earth in a human body. The Otherkintheory generally also states that such incarned souls sometimes show physical signs as well. An Elf, for instance, can have physically pointed ears. As the Otherkin is not naturally part of this world, they say that Otherkin feel very lonely, and not one with the rest. I also read that Otherkin are usually supposed to have natural abilities in Magic/Psionics.

I do not feel like going into discussion on the Demon-subject, but as many others I believe that - assuming the Otherkintheory is true - Psychic Vampires and Demons are one and the same. I assume that with Humans, you mean people with not an incarnated soul from an other world/plane/whatever. Otherkintheorybelievers call them mundanes, I believe.

I'm not too sure if I believe this theory, there's so much false information that I don't know what to believe. However, I believe some of it _could_ be true. It doesn't sound at all impossible to me, not like Kamehamahe's do.

I once asked here if there were any Psisvamps - Psychic Vampires - around. Kurin Majin, you must know that even a lot of non-believers of the Otherkintheory believe Psivamps exists. They say that they have a disfunction in the energysystem, which has as consequence that the person in question cannot create enough energy, and sometimes not at all. Because of that, Psivamps need to feed in order to stay alive, to say it very basically.

Besides of that I found that there's a lot of Psivamp/Were hate on the net. There actually are 'vampirehunters'. Some of them know perfectly well what they're hunting (humans, dammit!), others are insane and believe they're hunting undead creatures with pointed teeth and a strong dislike for garlic. Whether they actually kill humans of who they believe are 'psivamps' is unclear to me (I sincerely hope they don't) but it's the idea in general that makes me feel sick, whether psivamps exists or not.

Anyway, the ones who are interested, check www.otherkin.net.

thanks for that link nayru

it's an interesting concept, souls having a "race"
however in the grand scheme of things segregated races of souls seems rather racist and biased.

Its only one thing more that humans can use as an excuse to hate eachother for, and so I don't think its something I'll personally embrace as  a "cosmological truth"

however many religions do describe such idea's, and that may shed a light of truth on the theory.  

quote:However, I believe some of it _could_ be true. It doesn't sound at all impossible to me, not like Kamehamahe's do.

in a universe of impossibles, the possible seems unbelievable,

I have no doubt that someone of great spiritual knowledge and power (see Siddha) could very easily destroy the earth with a kamehamehe

in fact they wouldn't even need to use a fireball to do it, it prolly wouldn't require much more than a thought

-------------------

anyhow, back to other kin,  when it all comes down to it, we are all part of ONE, we are all exactly the same, but also infinitly different,

Volcomstone, if you visit Otherkincommunities you'll find yourself wrong there. People believing they are Otherkin have a strong bond with each other, because they feel they're not alone on that. Unlike 'black' and 'white' people, they do not fight because they believe someone is of another 'race', but share friendship. That's what I really like about that theory. It's just all peace and friendship, not war and hate. But then we should wonder: do they believe they're Otherkin because of the loneliness they feel, and therefore seek their peace in the Otherkintheory?

sorta like feeling accepted for there differnces,

we are all so similiar because we are all different

I'm not human.

I dont neccesarily subscribe to the Otherkin theory, as it currently exists, either.

My experiences show me that our soul is originally, neutral. Devoid of anything. But upon its first incarnation, it becomes the physical entity it joined. Thus since my first incarnation was not human, then my soul is not truly human.

My race evolved past the need for physical shells such as our human bodies some time ago. By some time ago I mean potentially trillions of years before the creation of this universe. I don't know everything about me just yet.

Either way I've spent the last few thousand years on this planet, incarnating and working towards this life - my final one (unless I decide to revisit again, sometime).

I believe the reason they feel lonely, or similiar emotional problems, is because they are not used to our bodies, and long for their old ones. Its like living in a house for a thousand years and then moving to a new one - it takes time to adjust, and even when you do, you feel homesick. That homesickness is something thats been hitting me hard, of late.

Otherkin are in no way better - or worse - than humans, however. They simply are. Whatever the truth is about 'Otherkin', they do exist, and I know I'm one. But its true that the soul is neutral and doesn't hold to a specific race or species. But through its incarnated experiences, it acquires the traits and ideals of them. Even if only when incarnated on a physical level.
