• Alterhuman (general)
• Fictionfolk (general)
• Transspecies
  • I use this label because most of it is a part of a self-established journey much like my gender transition. At some point in my life, I realized how out of place I felt in this world. My species felt fluid, and my overall existence felt connected between this world and worlds within fiction. As a result, I started transitioning.
    • My transition focuses on the social, political and philosophical aspects of my identity. I'm not interested in body modifications or other forms of physical transitioning since there's no procedures that could theoretically help me with changing between multiple forms.

Olumide (they/them/he/him)

• pronounced as “OH-loo-ME-day”
• settled form: honey badger

• Aesop (c. 620 – 564 BCE)
  • Mostly psychological in origin/nature. The other aspect ties into my fictionhood within Fate, which involves imagithropy.
  • Faithood— the overlapping experience between facthood and fictionhood— is essential to how and why I am Aesop. Although there are historic accounts pertaining to me as an individual, I'm often fictionalized in one of two ways: either modern historians find discrepancies on ancient accounts of me and speculate whether or not I was real at all, suspecting I may have been a conjured figure to attribute many stories to (such as the figure Uncle Remus, for example) or I am literally fictionalized in that several modern adaptations of my stories depict me as a fictional old, oftentimes black man sharing my fables to an invisible audience (most likely whoever is watching...

• Umamusume (Umamusume: Pretty Derby)
  • Sometimes, I am an Umamusume. Rather than flickering, I experience this form as a mid-way point between other equine forms of mine (centaur, earthen horse, etc). Unlike my other vaguetypes, this vaguetype involves partially or fully identifying as an umamusume. Either that, or I’m directly Kawakami Princess. Sometimes, I simply connect with Umamusume: Pretty Derby and its many stories as a non-thoroughbred horse. I like to joke that its adaptations make me feel like a dad glued to his tv screen, watching his team play. The factheartedness I feel towards this world's racehorses (ex: Gentildonna, Verxina, Still in Love, etc) factors in this vaguetype as well. I created an umasona to help navigate my complex feelings towards Umamusume, existing both as an OC and a form ...

• The Pokémon World
  • Although I'm both a pokemon and an otherhuman within this fictomere, I've never lived in the Pokémon World. However, I've felt close to this world since I was a child.
• Light Flight (Flight Rising)
  • Technically, The Light Flight isn’t a place but a collective of dragons with sworn allegiance to the Lightbringer and similar values around truth and knowledge. Their society is based within the Sunbeam Ruins, which is a sub-hearthome of mine. That said, I identify with this community and consider my ideal place of being.
  • I’ve identified with them and their clan for quite a while, especially as a dragon myself, but I am not a dragon from Flight Rising in particular.

• Fictional Shapeshifter (general)
  • I am a shapeshifter rooted in or shaped around fiction. At my core, I am fiction given sentience and numerous forms. I'm not fiction in its entirety, however. I am the genre of fantasy, and I am many people, animals, objects, etc. that fit within the medium I embody. Although I'm a fictional shapeshifter overall, I am fully everyone and everything I am as fictionkind. I may refer to individual experiences as "forms" in passing, but make no mistake: I am who/what I am.

• The Winged Lion (Delicious in Dungeon)
  • Partially psychological, partially spiritual.
  • This is one of two experiences where I'm something of a walking spoiler.
  • The spiritual aspect of this experience isn't relevant to a parallel life or any other sort of alternate life. Rather, this experience is defined by my status of being "meta" or being fully self-aware of my fictional nature. The transient nature of fact and fiction influences my outlook on existence, reality and how I exercise my autonomy.
• Kerberos / "Kero-chan" (Cardcaptor Sakura)

• Fantasy (Genre)
  • Base form. I identify as this genre both conceptually and collectively, meaning I am fantasy regardless of the medium (be it books, shows, films, plays, video games, etc).
• Magical Realism (Literary Style, Genre)
• Magitech (Worldbuilding Device)
  • Also known as Magitek.
  • I collectively identify as all forms of magical technology in fiction.

• The Grandcypher (Granblue Fantasy)
  • Draconic. Exclusively spiritual in origin (parallel life). Canon-ambivalent. I'm still a sentient ship. The only major difference in canon is that Djeeta is my captain, not Gran.
• RLS Galeon (Treasure Planet)
  • Exclusively psychological in origin.

• human (Pokémon)

  • Began as a fictionlink.
• sun-folk elf (ElfQuest)

• tribeless fera (Werewolf: The Apocalypse; World of Darkness)
  • I'm generally Fera. While there's some groups I feel kinship towards (such as the Ajaba) and occasionally take the form of, there's no specific tribe or clan I belong to. I liken my experience as Fera to how I generally experience animality, although the perspectives I hold as various animals differ from species to species.

• The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
• Mahoutsukai no Yoru/Witch on the Holy Night
• The Ghost in the Shell (Multimedia)
  • Applies to all adaptations except for the 2017 live action film. I resonate with Mamoru Oshii's 1995 and 2004 film adaptations the most.
• Discworld (Novels)
  • Applies to all novels within this series.

• Bestiary
  • A compendium of various animals and life forms— be them mythological, fictional or factual— with an accompanying moral or lesson ascribed to each entry.
    • Personally, I'm closer to a modern bestiary. My existence compiles many a species, person and concept across fact and fiction alike, coinciding with my identity as a shapeshifter. However, there are no "morals" or "lessons" to be gleaned from my experiences; rather, there are recurring themes throughout each of my fictomeres, which connect them together and ultimately forming the being that is me. Being a bestiary is also one of two "in between forms" I experience when I'm not presently phantom-shifting (the other being my form as a human).

• エレクトロ・ワールド (Electro World)
  • Originally performed by Perfume.
  • I am Electro World on account of the song's lyrical and symbolic relevance to my relationship with my fictionhood, especially with my denpa archetropy and alienation from various fictional worlds. Although the lyrics of my 'type aren't about that specifically, I can't help but feel that my life is reflected through those lyrics. My personal history, my self-discoveries and who I am now embody this song, thus making me Electro World.

• were-creature
  • This is a general form rather than an individual side. “Creature” is specified because this species (and label) of mine is interconnected with most, if not all, nonhuman species I belong to. Sometimes, I can be a ngadza (were-hyena) or a cheval-garou (were-horse). Either way, I am a were-creature of some kind. Rather than be influenced by the moon and nature as a whole, this experience is either triggered at will or by my emotions.
• winged human
  • Specifically the group Flying Africans, who originate from my community's folklore and oral stories. This form is able to change between a fully human form, a winged human form and an avian form at will.
• harpy

• Aesop (Fate; Nasuverse)
  • Non-canonical. Mostly based in imagithropy, loosely spiritual (incorporates details from a parallel life).
  • Pulling from my faithood/vagueness towards Aesop of this world, I decided to form a fictomere around this experience with Fate. At the same time, I already had a connection with this specific source. Originally, I thought I had a parallel life as a human incarnate of Solomon. However, it's likely that the fictionhood I felt as Aesop partially resulted from said parallel life. Either way, I feel a sense of belonging in Kinoko Nasu’s worlds; this fictomere is how I navigate it. I’ve re-established who I am through personal writings and other practices in tandem with information from my spiritual experiences.

• Miracle (non-canonical; New X-Men/Academy X)
  • Kardiatype (i.e. former parallel life)
    • A parallel life that I lost connection to. Miracle's a median system of Omega-level mutants. Their shared body has stone-like skin, hardened wings and glowing eyes, appearing kind of like an animated angelic statue. They also contain a mutation that allows them to manifest anything into being so long as it has a physical presence, hence their namesake as X-Men. Miracle's secondary mutation won't work if they try to will something intangible into existence, such as changing the outcome of a fight or the future. It has to be something physical like an object or a change in their biology/genetic code. This parallel life informed me of my mutanthood, a...

• Umi Ryuuzaki/Ceres and Fuu Hououji/Windam (Magic Knight Rayearth
  • Exists in relation to my identity as Hikaru Shidou, Lexus and (Combined) Rayearth. I don't identify as either of my companions but they mean the world to me. It is a connection similar to but more intimate than heartedness. Even when we're apart, they feel like a part of me.
• Nova/Regalia (Magic Knight Rayearth)
  • Exists in relation to my identity as Hikaru Shidou, Lexus and (Combined) Rayearth. Similar to Umi, Fuu and their respective Mashin counterparts, I feel immensely connected to Nova and Regalia. They're also a part of me, and quite literally at that since Nova came into being from my heart.
