nimdreamsWhile looking online for unrelated alterhuman things, I came across an alterhuman wiki entry on the term "altertype". I never heard of it before but it mentioned this;
"Examples of altertypes include kintypes, linktypes, hearttypes, or other specific identities, such as otherlink or otherhearted."
If I am correct, it is like a catch all term for any alterhuman 'types. I am not sure if this term will become more popular, but I might use it for myself. My current identity doesn't fit otherkin very nicely, I prefer to say nonhuman. I was still using kintype to describe it though, as that was the only term I could think of for it. Altertype could be a nice term to use instead, not because I don't like kintype or otherkin as labels, but it feels like a term that covers more possibilities of identity.
