SIVAAN'S SCROLL OF SPECIES This rentry is a comprehensive list of how I define my alterhumanity. I'm open about being alterhuman, so I figured it was appropriate to make this webpage. That way, you can get to know me better as a being!

Main Labels
I am a draconic polymorph. I define my experience with the following labels:

• Alterhuman
• Transspecies
• Fictionfolk
• Folcinteric
• Ontoplanar

Additonal Labels

• Archetroper
• Soulbonder
• Dæmian
  • My dæ is a rainbow boa. His name is Maxwell!

Bold: Primary species
Italicized: Frequently experienced/shifted into, but not primary

Core Forms
These six species are the heart of my alterhumanity. Not only are these species the most consistent in my shifts, they also hold the most noemata for me. Therefore, they're the most integral to my being.

• Dragon
  • I am a Gold Dragonne. This is my primary form as a draconic polymorph.
  • I am a metallic dragon (Gold) with the qualities of a liondrake. Since I identify with both species equally, having their traits equally manifested in this form, I gave this form its own label which represents both species.
  • I have six horns in this form; each of which represent my core species, including this one.
• Draconic Faun
  • A mythological faun with most traditional traits, except I have the traits of a dragon instead of a goat. This is somewhat of a human counterpart of my Dragonne self.
  • I maintain my tail, my horns, my breath weapon and some of my scaled features in this form, but not my whiskers or my wings. Much like classical fauns, this form of mine is partially humanoid.
• Anymic Sphinx
  • Can change between anthropormorphic and feral forms. Folcinteric.
  • Originates from a canon-divergent Radiant Citadel campaign in D&D. I nickname my species "Treasure Sphinxes" for its appearance and practices, but there is no official name that I know of.
  • My specific species has a leonine body, a sculpted golden face (like a statue's face), black fur with gold accents, gold claws, gold horns (six in total), four feathered wings, feathered legs, a mane that consists of dreadlocks adorned with gold jewelry, and a long, leonine tail. This species mostly eats various metals and gemstones to sustain itself, but can eat just about anything if neither are available.
• Anymic Manticore
  • Can change between anthropomorphic and feral forms. Folcinteric.
  • Originates from a canon-divergent Theros campaign in D&D. In this setting, I am the only known manticore, so I am simply referred to as "The Manticore" or "The Man-Beast" by many.
  • Demigod of Change, eldest child of Klo'hulla (my canon's Klothys). My shape as a manticore consists of six, small horns, a pitch black body, a distorted human-esque face, wings that encase searing white light, a metasoma that encases searing white light, and eyes "that burn like the sun" as some say.
• Ailuranthrope
  • A werecat, in layman's terms.
  • I tend to fluctuate between my presentation as an ailuranthrope, specifically between a werelion and a werecougar respectively.
• Celestial
  • Fiction-based (D&D, no specific setting). Godless. Neither angel nor demon. I am my own homebrew race of Celestial: an Apostate.
  • Apostates are represented by a domain, instead of being created under a deity. I am not yet sure what my domain is, but I do suspect that it could be one of the following: Knowledge, Creation, Change or Light (Sun).
  • As an Apostate, I have a total of three forms. I have a base form, an armored carapace form (default), and a draconic form.

Otherhood
Species of mine that are typically nonhuman or otherhuman in some way.

• Draconic Fictomeres
  • Zonai
    • Mammalian draconic shifters, at least in my canon. Visual reference can be seen here.
    • Zonai Dragon: Draconified form of my Zonai self.
  • Draconian: An Aurak Draconian, specifically. This is the anthropomorphic counterpart to my Dragonne self. Unlike other Aurak Draconians, I do have wings. My wings are much more flexible in this form; I often fold them over my body like a robe (use how Goliath from Disney's Gargoyles folds his wings as a visual reference).
  • Drachthyr
    • Horde-aligned.
• Sunfire Elf
  • Canon-divergent. I don't belong to the official canon of The Dragon Prince; my canon exclusively focuses on my kind and Lux Aurea.
  • Very rarily, I recall the other elven societies of my canon and nonhuman communities in Xadia.
• Flaremon / Apollomon
• Beastren
  • Leonine beastman race from Dragon's Dogma 2.
• Urmahlullu
  • A leonine centaur, in layman's terms.
• Colossi
  • Canon-divergent.
  • I am a colossi that takes the appearance of a mythic, winged leonine beast, much like a sphinx or a manticore. My original habitat was somewhere in the ruins of the Forbidden Lands specifically within a temple much like Barba (Colossi VI).
• Pokémon Trainer
  • Game-based. Canon-divergent.
  • My canon has its own timeline that ties in the events of mainline games. It's a lot to get into, so I'll leave it at that.
  • I was originally a cloned Koraidon, but arose one day as a young trainer. My experience is essentially a reverse mystery dungeon scenario.
• Monster Rider
  • Canon-ambivalent. Based somewhere around MH Stories 2.
  • My mount is a Nargacuga in my canon, and I am a scout for my township, surveying any Hunters who may be targeting the wildlife around our home. I also took up a Nargacuga linktype in honor of my companion.
• The Watcher in the Wings
  • Canon-ambivalent. I take the form of a tetramorph whose body is shrouded in inky darkness, save the overall shape of my gnarled, black wings. Furthermore, my domain isn't solely performance; it is storytelling and performance, hence why I am so heavy on critique.
  • I do not consider myself to be a "god", as portrayed by my source. I am a creation meant to fill the void held by my creator(s).

Fictionflickers
These identities only trigger when I interact with the sources tied to them.

• The Stranger
  • Canon-ambivalent.
  • Half-human, half-megafauna mutant. Constantly in fully covered space suits to hide mutations.
• The Listener
  • Redguard. Ailuranthrope (Werecat).
  • Canon-divergent. Rather than be an avatar of misanthropy and chaos, the Sithis of my canon is the embodiment of death and inevitability.
  • I am not the Dragonborn. That said, this experience of mine ties into my kardiatype as a Tamrielic Dragon before returning to Tamriel as a Redguard and a member of the brotherhood.
    • My life as this flicker/fracture is based within a timeline where the Dragonborn did not answer the Black Sacrament of Aventus Arentino, both failing to join the Dark Brotherhood and failing to destroy it.
• Feral Predator
  • I don't really have memories of this fictomere, only instincts and behaviors.

Linktypes
These are species that I chose to be, mainly because they embody the kind of beast I am (visually, behaviorally, etc).

That said, I separate them from my other species because I do not have exomemories or noemata tied to them unless they're specifically related to a non-link identity of mine.

• Kulve Taroth
  • Chosen because the monster itself matches my own vibes as a draconic being.
• Nargacuga
  • Chosen out of respect and kinship to my mount, as mentioned regarding my Monster Rider fracture.

Kardiatype(s)
These are species that I used to be in a past context, but no longer am. Nonetheless, they hold relevance to my current species.

• Fire-Breathing Tamrielic Dragon
  • I once held this form before becoming the Listener. Upon being defeated by members of the Blades, I faded away and shortly awakened again in the time of the Dragonborn's arrival. The only lingering aspect of my Tamrielic draconity is 1. my name and 2. the fact that I still speak Dovahzul out of muscle memory. Otherwise, I do not identify as a Tamrielic Dragon outside of this context.
  • Very integral to my draconity, my being as the Listener, and my experience as a fictionfolk with protagonist fractures in general. Part of why I decided to establish my draconic name in Dovahzuul ("Sivaasonikaan").

Animality
Species of mine that are completely rooted in being an animal.

• Longma
  • Ties into my draconity.
• Gryphon
  • Instead of being half eagle-half lion, I am half bearded vulture and half lion in this form.
• Bird of Prey Pluritherian
  • (Red) Bearded Vulture
  • Giant Teratorn
  • Stygian Owl
• Yutyrannus
• Terror Bird Cladotherian
• Gorgonopsid
• Saber-toothed Cat
  • Smilodon populator
• Leonine Pluritherian
  • American Atrox
  • Mosbach Cave Lion
  • West African Lion
• Mountain Lion
• American Black Bear
• Binturong ("Bearcat")
• Jaguarundi
• Gemsbok
• Međimurje or "Murakoz" Draft Horse
• American Mammoth Mule
  • I specify "mule" because I am equal parts horse and donkey in this form.
• Old English Sheepdog
• Leonberger

Concepthood
For the most part, I am always these concepts unless specified otherwise.

• Fantasy (Genre)
• Folklore
• Imagination
• Magical Realism

Of these concepts, I only experience being Fantasy and Folklore constantly. Being Folk Horror and/or Southern Gothic only triggers when I engage with content surrounding said concepts.

Objecthood

• Beastiary
  • I see my polymorphism as me being my own bestiary by extension. Thus, I am always a bestiary.

Archetropes

• Cloistered Scholar
• Quest Guide
• Wise Serpent
• Fallen Angel

Hearttypes
These are species that I'm not a part of, but feel immense kinship and connection to regardless.

• Werewolf-hearted
  • Originally, I thought myself to be a lycanthrope but as I understood myself more in a felin context, I realized that I'm an ailuranthrope rather than a lycanthrope. Regardless, the kinship I feel towards werewolves never left me.
• Inkfish-hearted
  • This is in referral to Inklings and Octolings. I lean more towards Octolings with this hearttype, as I relate to Inkadian Octolings and Octarians as a marginalized person.

Hearthomes
These are places that feel like home to me as an alterhuman, or were homes to me at some point based on my fractures and/or links.

• Faerûn / the Forgotten Realms
  • Canon-divergent.
  • My specific home in this setting is Candlekeep, set along the coast of Faerûn.
• Great Sky Island of Hyrule (BOTW/TOTK)
  • Canon-ambivalent.
• Splatsville and The Splatlands
  • This is a result of my Inkfish-heartedness, archetropy and linktype.
• The Forbidden Lands (SOTC)
• Lux Aurea, Xadia
  • Canon-divergent.
• Halcyon
• Termina
• Tamriel
  • Hammerfell and Skyrim, to be specific.
