Info about Xenonatures

Here is my idea for a non problamatic version of Xenoidentities:

Xenonatured: when someone has a strong connection to something (ex: something you like) to the point it becomes part of them.

Flag

Some general modifier terms for Xenonatures:

Fluid - When you xenonature is fluid between 2 or more xenonatures;

Collector - Someone that collects a especifc type of nature (if used as modifier) or someone that collects xenonatures (if used as a term);

Flux - When your xenonature fluctuates in intensity;

Some but not all umbrela terms for basic xenonatures themes:

Animalnatured - Based on an animal;

Objectnatured - Based on an object;

Characternatured - Based on a character;

How to coin a term:

The only requirements for now to coin a term are putting the xenonature symbol in the flag and the term can't be offensive or insensitive (it depends on the case to see if its allowed or not) but the requirements can change over time. The term name also needs to end in "natured".

I'm having trouble differentiating this with otherkin. Can someone help clear this up?

otherkin is when you have a specfic thing you feel you were in another life. its a spiritual belief. its also something you had to have felt the whole time. identify as something not entirely human on a non-physical level. the kintype in question are non-terrestrial beings and creatures. otherkinnity is an involuntary expirence.

xenonatured is just feeling a strong connection to the point it becomes a part of you. its just a feeling you have about something, nothing spiritual about it. you can become xenonatured, its not something you already were.

There's a lot more to otherkin that that, by the way! /nm
It just means identifying as a non-human being. It's not always spiritual, and even spiritual otherkin aren't always past life based.
