Therian Info (intro)

Therian's are people who believe fully they are a certain type of animal and they experience things such as Phantom or Mental shifts and very rarely physical shifts. they do know that they have a human body though. there are two types. Therian's which are people who believe they are a animal that exists such as a wolf and Otherkin's people who believe they are a animal that doesn't exist such as a dragon. some people will go to the extreme to look like their kin as they are very spiritually connected to their Kin. sometimes people are a kintype that they don't want to be they cannot choose which kintype they have. Also you can only have one kintype

Therians in history are beings known to shapeshift into animals at will, through time the beings became almost extinct only passing along the kinmenship and spiritual feeling to their offspring. The first document of Therians came from a cave in France. Therianthrope can be traced back to the 1600s maybe earlier. Vikings for instant depended on the wolf for guidance in a fight, their magicians were believed to be therians blessing their animals upon their fellow Vikings. Therians throughout history were either afraid or pridefull of their Therianthrope abilities. Therians have three stages Mental shifts, phantom shifts, and physical shifts. Phantom shifts are like phantom limbs, if the therian was a wolf therian then they would feel and imagine having ears, a tail and a snout with sharp teeth as with people with cut off limbs sometimes feel their nonexistent limb as if it were there. A mental shift is almost the same thing as a phantom shift it's when they feel like their kin and take on the emotions and personality of their kin. A physical shift, which many people think is now extinct, is the rarest of them all. In a physical shift the therian would actual shift into their therian animal. Most Therains feel very uncomfortable and awkward in their human bodies as if it were to big or to small this causes them to sometimes be clumsy, therians usually act upon instinct instead of intellect seeing that their animal like instincts make it very hard for them to learn. They may growl or hiss according to what type of therian they are. They are usually jumpy and constantly looking behind their backs afriad to be picked on for their differences. Therians tend to act like their animal, liking what they eat, wearing extra clothes so it feels like fur, ect... Some therians are able to control their phantom and mental shifts others have absolutely no control.

Most Therianthropes came out of hiding in the 1900s when the idea was getting popular, more people claimed to be therians or lycanthropes (half beast(animal) half human) this caused a huge outbreak in 1964 when the furry community started. The two groups collided some. The Furries seeing the therians as taking it too far and the therians seeing the furries as ignorant and stupid the two groups intertwined a lot but the major difference was how Therianthrope was a spiritual semicultural belief, Furry was more like a cosplay thing. Therians can often be found at Furry conventions the same likewise for Furries and Therians.

The Franks and Vikings weren't the only ones interested in animal spirits and Therianthrope, Indians were too, did you know that the majority of therians either have some Indian blood or European blood? There are three types of therians, one is a blood therian in which you inherent therian blood from Indians or Europeans ect these therians are very rare, as many blood therians were murdered for witchcraft or lycanthrope, however these are the therians most likely with the ability to physically shift. The second kind is spiritual therians these are the most common therians they are the ones born with the animal spirit inside of them they are the everyday therians, the third type is the diety therian, this along has not been seen since the 1600s more or less. This is where an animal spirit suddenly inhabits the human after choosing the perfect human it is very complicated and is believed to be a myth therefore most people will believe there is only one or two types of therians.

now I will tell you how to spot a faker.

the best way to spot a faker is to look at their attitude fake therians will more likely be bragging about their fake shifts, they have a lot of accessories and change their animal a lot of times. They will also have thousands of Kintypes. Fakers will not keep quiet and will throw around the word therian like a slang word. Therians are actually very rare, the majority of Therians are just furries that are faking it. Fiction kin is a small example of falseness fiction kin in reality should not be possible though many people suggest it is.

Also if you are a Therian. being a Therian is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of it is simply how you were born.

Well let's get on to the story why don't we?
