Is there a word for identifying as a fictional species, or fictional race of beings? Not one that was in canon, but someone from their same world. Is that still fictionkin? Is there a word for “I identify as that kind, but not that individual”? Also, is there a word for identifying as a fictional animal species? Is that fictionkin or therian?

‘Fictionkin’ applies equally to people who believe they were/are a random pikachu, or random dragon from Pern (etc) as it does to people who were/are a specific character such as Legloas or Mickey Mouse. 

Also, is there a word for identifying as a fictional animal species? Is that fictionkin or therian?

Like a unicorn, gryphon, or dragon? That word is ‘Otherkin’.

Hope that helps!
