Beforan is a term used to describe someone who feels as though they had a life before the one they are currently living, without being of a different species than their current one.
This word describes someone who believes they’ve had a past life, and feels as though the term otherkin does not fit their experiences. This can also be very helpful for non-human headmates/introjects within systems, if they feel as though they had past lives before becoming a headmate, while not being of a different species. For example, a beforan elven headmate would have memories of being an elf in their past lives.
Although a beforan person is not of a different species in their current life, they may have had a different race, gender, sex, body, etc. For example, they may have been blonde in their past life, and have red hair in their current one. All that matters is that they were of the same species.
If one's beforan identity and gender overlap, they may call themself beforangender.
