Horus is an example of therianthropy, the combination of human and wild elements. Subcultures based around this may form part of the Otherkin identity

Otherkin would have to be one of the more unusual social groups I've found via the Net - Humans who claim they're not human. As such.

And come on, work with me here - that's kind of cool right?

Otherkin regard themselves as animals, aliens, extra dimensional beings or other non humans. This is usually depicted as the state of an individuals soul, within a human body, generally attributed to the (I love this term) 'Oops, missed' theory of reincarnation. However there are exceptions - the Vampyres, for instance.

Generally becoming aware of their Vampiric status through discovering THE THIRST - the need to drink blood, (or for psionic vampyres - energy) . Not that there’s any real need to fear for your neck - these days biting is kind of frowned upon, and the drinking of human blood seems more a process of hypodermic needles and blood tests. Vampyres can get diseases too.

Riiiight... So are these guys not just role-playing? They actually believe they're not human?

Freaky. I wonder at what point in their lives did they go "Hmmm, this human thing isn't working out for me."

I think a lot of people feel like something is missing in their lives. I guess some just find this to be their answer.

You realize that you are making fun of and making a joke of not only my way of life but others? This is what we feel, we can do things and sense things, and hear and feel and crave things that 'humans' would/do not. So please, if you must speak, make sure you watch your words and realize those who may come across what you say. Believe it or not, some of us could probably find you and give you a good lashing.

I'm just explaining the idea in terms I felt make sense. I'm sure there's no need for a lashing...

Will do. I had though I'd taken it from Wikipedia undrr lisence, but that seems incorrect.

Wow, this is surprising, amazing and even inspiring, it shows me something I believe in the core of my heart: we can be anything and everything we want to be, and I do believe in extra-human powers and other dimensions... I didn't expect communities that would admit their existance openly and threaten people because they do not believe in them. If they are, they are, no need to threaten the mere mortals for finding it strange...
