Therianthropy

[close] Once, mages and commonfurs lived together in harmony, but the great reformation changed all that. After a religious movement, sorcerers and sorceresses are hunted down and treated as criminals. Now those gifted with magic must hide in the shadows to prevent being hanged or burned. There are those who fight for freedom, for their right to practice, and there are those who abuse their gifts. Where do you stand, and who will you become?

[close] Therians and otherkin are people who identify as and/or believe they are nonhuman creatures, either spiritually, psychologically, or otherwise. This group is to provide such people with a place on GoodReads to meet, learn from each other, and share in our love of books. A little about us, not all people associate with one label or another, many kinds of nonhumans developed their own communities apart from the otherkin label. The safe general term for us is nonhuman, though some psychologists have used the term trans-species. While not inaccurate, some people of the transgender community oppose this term, so it's rarely used. The term otherkin has been around since 1990, and therianthropy (as an identity) since '94. People with nonhuman identities know that their bodies are human, and we strive to be functional members of society. We hold no delusions that we can shapeshift or have some supernatural power relating to what we are.

[close] Welcome to Mist Haven, Oregon. Mist Haven is home to a plethora of supernatural being known as otherkin. These creatures have human bodies, but their souls originate from a parallel realm known as the Otherworld. Mist Haven is built around a convergence of ley lines and telluric currents that cause strange and anomalous phenomena to occur, mainly the formation of a portal to the Otherworld and the perpetual gloomy weather. Now, denizens of the Otherworld and the local kindred seek to claim the portal as their own. If that wasn't enough, hunters have come to town, looking to purge it of its magical inhabitants. Which side will you fight for?
