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
• Fractic
• Mythic
• Archaeosapien

Additonal Labels

• Polyanima
• Archetroper (not relative to species)
• Soulbonder (not relative to species)
• Dæmian (not relative to species)
  • My dæmon is a rainbow boa. His name is Maxwell!

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

Core Fractures
I have six forms that are central to my alterhumanity. Not only are these species the most consistent in my shifts, they also hold the most noemata for me. With this in mind, they are very integral to my experience.

• 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. Ties into my Gold Dragon fracture.
  • 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.
  • My species is similar to Greco-Roman sphinxes in appearance, but is not a Greco-Roman sphinx in of itself. I refer to my species as being a "Treasure Sphinx", but that is just a nickname— not an official title.
  • 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 is mostly carnivorous, but can eat various metals and gemstones to sustain itself.
• Anymic Manticore
  • Can change between anthropormorphic and feral forms. Folcinteric.
  • Fiction-based. A species that is unique to the Feywild (D&D), particularly the Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign. Although not a fey-oriented species, this species of mine is very in tune with portals, planar magic, and anything relative to the cosmos. I have nicknamed this species "Manticosms" as a result.
• 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.
• Zonai
  • Mammalian draconic shifters, at least in my canon. Visual reference can be seen here.
  • Occasionally ties into Ancient Hero fictionflicker.

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

• Draconic Subspecies
  • Zonai Dragon: Draconified form of my Zonai fracture. Can be seen through this MythAura design, which closely represents said draconified form.
• Draconian: An Aurak Draconian, specifically. This is the anthropomorphic equivalent to my Gold Dragonne fracture. 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).
  • This fracture is also Quoiian, specifically Fictionquoi. This is my only quoiic fracture, given that most of my alterhumanity is experienced involuntarily.
• Drachthyr
  • Horde-aligned.
  • Canon-ambivalent.
• 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
  • A leonine beastman from Dragon's Dogma 2.
• Urmahlullu
  • A leonine centaur, in layman's terms.
• Desert Yautja
  • The same sub-species of Yautja as the Feral Predator.
• 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
  • Fictionquoi. 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 hail from the southeast of the Unova region, but ideally reside in Paldea. This fracture is connected to my Koraidon kardiatype.
• Monster Rider
  • Fictionquoi. Canon-ambivalent.
  • My mount is a Nargacuga in this fracture's canon. I even took up a Nargacuga linktype in honor of my mount from my canon.

Otherlinks
These are species that I chose to be, mainly because they embody the kind of beast I am (visually, behaviorally, etc). These species are basically linktypes of mine. That said, I separate them from my fractures because I do not have exomemories or noemata tied to these links.

• Kulve Taroth (S'link + Aeslink)
  • Can change between anthropomorphic and feral forms.
• Nargacuga (F'link)
  • Can change between anthropomorphic and feral forms.
  • Chosen out of respect and kinship to my mount, as mentioned regarding my Monster Rider fracture.
• Splatlandian Denizen
  • Jellyling, specifically a Lion's Mane jellyling. An evolved, humanoid Jellyfish being, similar to Inklings and Octolings. Canon-divergent.
  • Chosen out of resonance and passion towards my hearthome, Splatsville and the Splatlands in general. Also chosen out of kinship to Inklings and Octolings, given that I'm Inkfish-hearted.

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.
• Shiny Koraidon
  • Canon-divergent. In this form's lifetime, I was a clone of the Guardian of Paradise. That said, I was a prototype that didn't last very long with my rapidly changing state. I remember fainting, and when I awoke, I was no longer a pokémon but a trainer. Basically, a reverse Pokémon Mystery Dungeon situation.
  • Integral to both my draconity and my archaeosapience. Ties into my Pokémon Trainer fracture.

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

• Cybertronian
  • I am a Junkion. In my exomemories, I went by the name Flashback on Junkion (as in the planet of the same name).
  • Canon-ambivalent. I come from the Transformers One continuity, but much farther in its future.
• 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 fracture does tie into a kardiatype of mine in which I was a Tamrielic Dragon before returning to Tamriel as a Redguard and 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 the Dark Brotherhood.
• Living Arbiter
  • I have no distinct exomemories tied to this fictionflicker.
• Caritas Sanctus
  • I have no distinct exomemories tied to this fictionflicker.

Theriofractures
Species of mine that are completely rooted in animality.

• Anymic, Theriomythic Equine
  • On top of my earthen equine fractures, I belong to a species of draconic equines that are not known to Earth. We are visually similar to dragon horses (as seen in D&D) and longmas, but have the physical build and temperament of heavy draft horses. We are also Sun-oriented beings, both in our draconity and equinehood.
  • Our scales are typically gold, bronze or black with muted undertones. In rare cases, some of our kind will have iridescent scales. My species also have beards like some unicorns and have feathering around our legs like some earthen draft horses. We have horns as well, specifically two. They are capable of generating light and heat.
• Gryphon
  • Theriomythic. Half bearded vulture and half lion, exclusively feral in nature and form.
• Bird of Prey Pluritherian
  • (Red) Bearded Vulture
  • Giant Teratorn
  • Stygian Owl
• Yutyrannus
• Terror Bird Cladotherian
• Gorgonops Cladotherian
• Saber-toothed Cat
  • Smilodon populator
• Leonine Pluritherian
  • American Atrox
  • Mosbach Cave Lion
  • Barbary Lion
• Mountain Lion
  • North American Cougar
• American Black Bear
• Binturong ("Bearcat")
• Jaguarundi
• Gemsbok

Folcinteric Fracture(s)
This specific species exists alongside my theriofractures but goes beyond being theriomythic. This is due to my place as a Soulaano alterhuman and my connection to the American South as someone who was born and raised there.

• Br'er Bear
  • I am a living embodiment of Br'er Bear from Uncle Remus stories. I am not the original Br'er Bear on account that many regions across the South have their own versions of my being. I exist as my own living mythos.
  • I am also not the Br'er Bear from the Disney film, Song of the South, or other theatric depictions of my being. In fact, I hold much contempt for the former. Do not compare my experience to it.

Plant & Nature Links
Linktypes of mine that are species from natural environments.

• Kudzu (S'link)
• Weeping Willow Tree (S'link)
• Dragon's Blood Tree (Aeslink)

Two of my fractures (Kudzu, Weeping Willow) were chosen on account of my growing up in the Southeast United States.

Concept Fractures
Fractures of mine that are embodied concepts, rather than sentient species.

• Fantasy (Genre)
• Dungeoncore
• Dragoncore
• Prehistory
• Antiquity
• Folklore
• Vulture Culture
• Southern Gothic

Object Fracture(s)

• Beastiary
  • I see my polymorphism as me being my own bestiary by extension. After all, I am a vast culmination of numerous species, creatures and concepts!

Archetropes

• Cloistered Scholar
• Wise Serpent
• Quest Guide
• Folk Legend
• Storyteller
• Indomitable Human Spirit
  • Has an Inkfish archetrope subset.
  • Octoling-centric. Although I am not an Inkfish, I embody much of their cultural values and spirit; I especially embody the enduring spirit of Octolings. It is possible to be an archetroper of a species without being said species, and if you'd like an example, I recommend this essay!

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.
• Equine-hearted (Earthen)
  • Especially towards draft horses. Since I'm an anymic, theriomythic equine, I realized over time that my connection to earthen horses is more based in heartedness. I feel most connected to Belgian Drafts and Posavac draft horses.

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.
• Lux Aurea, Xadia
  • Canon-divergent.
• Splatsville and The Splatlands
  • This is a result of my Inkfish-heartedness, archetropy and linktype.
• Area Zero and Paldea in general
• The Forbidden Lands (SOTC)
• Yautja Prime
• Halcyon
• Junkion
• Tamriel
  • Hammerfell and Skyrim, to be specific.
