Tiger on The Web - My Kintypes

Siberian Tiger

This theriotype is entirely psychologically based and I've known I was an animal of some kind since I can remember. I don't have much noemata at all for this kintype and only experience my current life and the world around me as a tiger. I've always seen myself in the aloof outlook of solitary cats and their connection to the natural world. The tiger is a striking animal, one that I can look at and really see myself in. It makes perfect sense to me for me to be a tiger. It's very difficult to explain it any more than that, I just saw it and knew.

I consider myself always shifted at some level. Certain situations and triggers can make that shift more intense, but generally it runs in the background at a constant level. The most common phantom limbs I experience are paws, mane, nictitating membrane, and canine teeth. My behaviour is distinctly feline but noticeably domesticated, not like a pet cat but like a captive tiger raised around humans. I am not sure whether this is due to living in human society or because my theriotype is a captive tiger habituated to humans.

Vergil / V

Source: Devil May Cry (main series games + manga)

This fictotype has more of a spiritual element to it, but is reinforced by psychological influence. I'm not entirely sure of the exact reasons though. I have pretty detailed noemata for this kintype; I experience horn, scale, and claw phantom shifts most commonly. I see Virgil from The Divine Comedy as well as the real-life Virgil as paratypes.

While Nelo/Nero Angelo + Gilver (DMC1, DMC1 light novel), Vergil (DMC: Devil May Cry), and Urizen (DMC5) are technically / arguably me, I either don't see them as me or they're insignificant enough to my experiences now that I don't have a reason to call myself them. I refer to my identity as draconic rather than purely demonic or humanoid due to a few reasons which I've touched on in this essay.

Playlists:

Raiden

Source: Metal Gear Solid 2 + 4, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence

Possibly more of a spiritual element compared to Vergil. I have similarly detailed noemata for Raiden and phantom limbs relevant to him, mainly of his mechanical body from later games. To me, he is a fully human fictotype but with elements that are close to machinekin in experiences. Being him informs my ficto/waifuist relationship quite heavily.

Playlists:

Bovidae

I consider myself spiritually connected to bovines, especially large spiral-horned antelopes. I hold a deep respect for ungulates in general, I see myself in them, see them as family, and I often think if I could pick a theriotype, it would be a bovid. This is mostly linked to my tiger theriotype, but also various noemata from Raiden and in a hearthome sense. My feelings possibly stretch to ungulates in general, especially donkeys, deer, and camels, but much more distantly.
