Well to start off...I was born into a family of devout Christians...yay me. While I picked up rather easily on the morals I never really understand why they had a resentment for everyone who had different views. They told me that I was just being a naive child and that I would grow out of it. I also noticed that after a while they seemed to avoid me and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.

Years passed and I eventually gave up on trying to figure it out. I figured I was just a little loopy or something. Nothing major. I still had a rather large disdain for the church and one awkward moment where they tried to exercise me but I shrugged it off as paranoid delusion of the masses. Things were going pretty good in my life and I wasn't going to get sent off to the loony bin for saying that I could occasionally feel a tail.

This all changed when we moved to a different state my freshman year. It was marching band season ((I was a band geek )) and our snotty sectionleader and I were in argument as usual when I felt myself changing. Nothing small like before, I felt my skin go black, by eyes change color, A tail(But that was normal for me). I felt wings and I knew my ears changed. And even some horns. ,Yet she looked at me as if I was the same as I ever was. Only difference was that I was angry. Afterwards I ran to the bathroom convinced that The change must have been physical. It felt too real. Yet, there in the mirror was my average human appearance, whitish skintone and all. I did research and the closest term I could find to match me was imp.

About a year later I met a vampire and learned that I wasn't alone. I met a few others over time like myself, but this is my first time venturing onto a forum. I know im human (( already had my fluff stage)) physically but deep down I know I can only be an imp. I'm not "evil", just very mischevious at times and very stubborn with a love of chaos, but its hard when your family is religious and your older brother is a preacher. Now I feel like an outcast, forced to wear a mask to avoid the hatred of those close to me. I know one day i'll have to leave when I cant bear the weight of the lie that I'm normal anymore. -shrugs- C'est la vie I guess...Anyway thats my history. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

heh, a lot of this sounds like the story of my life, it just got better in the end (except for my mother, my family is very tolerant).

i'm curious, how tall is your imp form?

Lucky you. My brother without realizing he was talking to me called me an abomination. Anyway my imp form isn't very big. About the size of a medium dog if on all fours i guess is a fair estimate.

you sound like my twin.

Liked your bio, I grew up in a christan house hold to.

Same.

I grew up in a pretty strict christian household too. We weren't even allowed to watch anything that had any cursing or any references to drugs, magic, alcohol, sex, etc.

One of the reasons I don't think I'll ever tell my family about otherkin.

I will definitly not be telling my family about being a therian.

I grew up in a not-very-strict-but-you're-definitely-going-to-hell-if-you-don't-believe-in-jesus type of house.

I might eventually tell my family about mah 'kin-ness, if it comes up. I'm sure the whole thing will be a bucket of lulz.

Wow thats kinda what I look like. Oh my mom was very strict when we were little. She didn't let us watch Barney or My little ponies because there was magic. But starwars was ok because it was scifi. So a four year old watching people getting shot and having body parts cut off is fine but watching ponies dancing and baking cookies is blasphomy. <-- figure that out. Thankfully shes loosened up some.
