Conceptkin

Conceptkin is an umbrella term to describe those that identify as an idea, theory, aesthetic, aura, or concept.

Due to the nature of conceptkin being non-sentient, these kintypes can sometimes be mistaken as objectkin. The differences between them are [TDB].

Due to the nature of concepts, most conceptkin explain their kintype to be psychological in origin. This is in comparison to sentient kintypes that are argued to have souls and thus have the ability to reincarnate. However there are instances of spiritual conceptkin existing.

Conceptkin tend to express their identity as any other alterhuman, defining themselves AS the concept itself. However instead of feeling phantom limb shifts or sensory shifts, conceptkin may feel emotional and psychological shifts associated with their kintype. A horrorkin might explain their experiences by feeling a deep connection to darkness and fear, and posses instincts such as the urge to cause fear. Conceptkin also acknowledge great relief when in the company of their kintype, for example - a rainkin standing in the rain. This is not to be confused with general euphoria as these occurrences are usually accompanied with a sense of belonging and safety.

The validity of conceptkin has been widely debated amongst the alterhuman community, externally and internally. Critics major issue suggests that one cannot identify as a non-sentient kintype.

Terminology
Those that identify as conceptkin tend to also use sub-umbrellas to further explain their identity. Examples include...


 * A rainkin falling under the weatherkin umbrella.
 * A glitchkin falling under the techkin umbrella.
 * A shootingstarkin falling under the spacekin umbrella.
