what if, for example, one looks deep within themselves and finds that they are literally, without a doubt a character? what if there are no memories, or feeling homesick or something? is that something else? also, is there like a requirement for a synpath? like, does it need to be a v strong connection? i know characters are made to be relatable and thats why im asking. thank you for your time!
Firstly, I can’t tell you if you’re kin or not, only you can do that.
However, if you’re not experiencing any homesickness, memories, image/species dysphoria, lost abilities, missing people, phantom limbs, etc, then you are probably not kin.
“Looking deep within yourself to find that you are literally, without a doubt” X without any personal internal evidence aside from a feeling sounds like a “non-kin ID” of some kind . (discussed somewhat here). It could also be considered a synpath, or possibly a form of copinglink.
Its totally okay to feel like something is just ‘who you are inside’ for no reason other than you feel like you’re similar, or even that’s just how you fee for no reason at alll, but that’s not being kin (as I understand it)
As far as I’m aware there is no ‘requirement’ for a synpath other than something being important/relatable to you in some way.
What about purely psychological otherkin/fictionkin though?
I jut want your take on that, obviously. I’m still a bit confused on the purely psychological kin experience. But as far as I know, they don’t experience a lot of those things?
As far as I’m aware (and I may be wrong, I’ve been wrong before) psychological otherkin DO experience memories/phantom limbs/homesickness/shifts etc, but they attribute them to mental quirks rather than spiritual reasons.
