#I don't get to do a lot of canines either funnily enough

Hello, and welcome one and all to my little patch of peace! My name is Sylum and I'm what is known as fictionkin. Now, I'm sure you're wondering: "what the hell is fictionkin? A fictionkin is someone that either psychologically, or spiritually believes that they are, or were, a fictional character or species. In my case, I'm purely the psychological kind. Though I am inclined to believe in past lives, I don't have memories of anything regarding my kintype. Kin of the spiritual kind have memories of their past lives as those characters or as that species. Whereas psychological kin do not. Or at least, from what I've experienced.

Below the cut, is everything you need to know about me! Please feel free to read on if you'd like!

So, what is my kintype specifically? Primarily, I'm fictionkin. More specifically, my kintype is a Buma. Not many people know this species by name, which is a crying shame. If you were to peruse the character notes of Red XIII from Final Fantasy 7, you would see that name. At some point, they would have implemented the species as a whole, by name, in the game. However, they opted not to. So, the name is forever drowned in obscurity. But, at least I know the name for them now.

Going into even more specifics, I am what I refer to as the Icicle Region Variant. The Icicle Buma is, funnily enough, something of my creation. They have thick fur to help save off the cold, and large paws to help them navigate the deep snow drifts of the north. They have long, sharp canines, like a Smilodon, and a downward curved snout, like a bull terrier. The males have thick, shaggy manes and Norse inspired braids. The females are maneless and don't have braids. Regardless of gender, the icicle variant is larger than the cosmo Canyon variant. They're sturdier built, and are capable of climbing steep rock faces. They're heavily muscled frame is quite terrifying when you see them at a distance. They're silhouette can strike fear into the hearts of even the toughest of SOLDIERs. Despite their intimidating appearance, they're actually quite gentle. They have been known to aid lost travelers, and aid in nursing the sick. They know the icicle region like the back of their paws, and are able to lead hikers to the safety of civilization with ease. Like their Canyon born brothers and sisters, they are capable of human reasoning and speech. However, some really aren't keen on talking. They live in a tight-knit tribe, but they will allow others to leave to explore the world and gain knowledge. Other than that, they're usually very elusive-- they will only be found if they want to be. Put enough about the primary. Let's talk about my secondary type.

My secondary type is shapeshifter. More specifically, a Paleo shapeshifter. Often favoring the intimidating, vicious therapods, I can, within myself, transform into prehistoric life. This includes but isn't limited to: dinosaurs, marine reptiles, and Pleistocene mammals. The primary for my take when I feel like a shapeshifter is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, or an Achillobator.

Now that all of the important information is out of the way, let's get to the other, less important stuff.

Please be aware that this is a secondary blog! Because of this, I can't follow anyone in return. Please don't be offended that I don't follow back.

I am 29 years old, so if you are under the age of 18 and uncomfortable with following an adult, that I'm afraid you'll have to leave. Thank you for stopping by, though!

I believe that's it for my little introduction! Thank you all so very much for reading! I hope to update this blog a lot in the coming days. Until my next post, I'll see you around!
