others
One of my main kins as of the moment, to the point where Jay is my "professional" name--i.e. the one I use for college classes and whatnot. It was kind of funny, my process of accepting him as a kin. I was already into MH for awhile and then slowly but surely the universe went "hey, you gay bitch, you kin the main character". So here I am.
Literally my first ever kin. He was also my first ever ID, as Alfendi/Al was the first name I ever used after realizing I wasn't cis. I still use the name because...why not. I don't feel as attached to him as I once did, but he's still important to me. Sometimes I still kind of miss the Mystery Room.
Alice is a weird kin for me. I genuinely kind of fought myself on if I was kin with her or not, because most people don't like the live action RE movies. Eventually, though, I relented, and now she's an ID. I also technically roleplay as her sometimes, but that's on a very rare occasion since her muse is very dormant.
A more recent kin of mine. I think I just played his boss fight in Chapter 1 so many times the universe had to hit me with the kinnie stick. I miss my basement. :( A funny thing about me kinning him though is that the only reason I started using his name as mine is because I set "jevil gaming" as my Steam name, and people would call me Jevil. Lol.
I'm almost certain the universe whacked me with the Pyro kin stick because I main them. However, they've quickly become a major kin for me, and I appreciate them dearly. I think I'm mostly kin with the game/animated shorts version, rather than the game. I also still main them on the rare occasion now I play TF2. And one of my TF2 self inserts is a Pyro!
One of my more longer standing kins, although she's not an ID. I've been playing CROB off and on for a few years now, and somehow, Strawberry is the only character I've ended up kin with. I miss the others Commons sometimes, but that's really the extent of my kin memories for her. I wish she was more viable in regular play on higher levels. :(
Charlie is...an interesting kin. I made them as a sort of personal HABIT-type thing for my EMH insert, and they've grown way past that. They were my first OCkin and never really left. Recently, I've discovered I have an introject of sorts in my silly little brain who either is Charlie, or took their form. Not sure which, not sure it matters.
My only non-character kintype, so I guess this is a sort of...digital theriantype? I'm not sure. I just feel a deeply rooted kinship to glitches, namely VHS tears, the entire concept of r/softwaregore, and static screens. I'm not entirely sure how else to describe it. Might explain why I love analogue horror so much.
He kind of straddles the line between main and non-main, so he goes down here. I realized I was kin with him after playing through Chris' campaign as Piers, getting to the final boss fight, and going 'hey wait a minute'. He is also another kin I roleplay, although this time a bit more actively than Alice.
