Definition: An alter/nonhuman term for when one’s feeling of connection with their kintypes are influenced by abiotic factors such as season, weather, environment etc. This is described as a more intense identification with the kintype as well as experiencing more shifts.

-> This is not referring to cameo shifts or flickers, rather a strengthened identity because of one’s environment

-> Examples:

• Feeling more like one’s nocturnal kintype during the night
• Experiencing more shifts acretited to one’s marine kintype after entering water/being near water
• Feeling more like a winged kintype when there’s strong wind and feeling wings acrettited to the wind

Etymology:

Abin- Derived from the word “abiotic” meaning non-biotic. So things such as weather, PH, temparature etc

influence/fluence – the word influence, describing how the abiotic thing affects the kintype

The term’s suffix is “-abin” , if you’d want to use it to describe describe a certain kintype as well as abiotic factor you’d write it as “kintype x-abin” or “kintype xabin” (Without the dash)

Example (From @mogai-major-general): “kestrel wind-abin” or “Kestril windabin”

This term was coined in cooperation with @mogai-major-general and @verwtigo
