I must note that you described internet trolls as not fae. I must say, this egregious oversimplification offends me to my very core. Have you considered the possibility that, say, a goblin could just walk up to a computer and start typing in offensive things like... like... "Internet trolls aren't fae."
I knew it! You thought you could hide your clever schemes, but I knew better. You're one of those crazy fae with their water pistols and spray paints! When will you ridiculous mythological folklore beings learn not to mess up honest people's lawns like you so often do!111111!!!!7!!!!!psi!!!! I'll call the cops, gosh dern it!!!111!!!!numbers!!!!!!h!!! I'll arrest you vandals! JUST YOU WAIT!!

Internet Trolls are just assholes.
Trolls probably aren't fae in the first place, but they are probably more fae-like than goblins.

Looking up the word 'indie', it sounds like MARDEK is an indie game, so there's that. Other than MARDEK, VVVVVV is the only game that I can think of right now, and probably the only 'traditionally' indie one. Or something.
Antichamber definitely sounds interesting though, I'll probably try it at some point.
Detail-wise, I guess I like VVVVVV because it's one of the few games that I feel really evokes an actiony fast-paced adrenaline awesome amazing wheeee spirit well. Like, really well. In particular, 'The Tower' I replayed over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over because it was just so *fun*, it's one of those games where you die a lot (I died a total of over 2,000 times), but death is so utterly temporary that it practically didn't happen at all. The graphics really fit the game it's picturing, the pretty colors combine with flashy shiny thingys, the absolutely amazing soundrack, and the fast-paced nature of the game to create an instant cure for boredom, sameyness, monotony, cancer, stupidity, depression, and not having epileptic seizures. It's name is really a pain to pronounce though.

Suicide? Well, it's kind of an awkward word to say. Suicide. Suicide. Soo-ih-side. Soo-ih-side. Soo-ee-coon. Suicide really does sound kind of like Suicune when you think about it. Suicune has nothing to do with suicide, though.
Ohh, wait, you meant what I thought about the *action*, not the word itself. That makes a lot more sense.
I think I probably have a controversial opinion on suicide, in that I don't think it's an evil horrible selfish bad bad meanie racist act approved of by the devil in He... Hestia, but I do think that calling it selfish to coomit suicide is, in itself, selfish. Imagine how the suicidal person in question must feel. "Either I try and everyone hates me, or I end it and everyone hates me!" It's like how I feel about basketball. If I don't do it, people complain, because I have to *try* and maybe it'll be *fun* and then maybe the moon will go rogue and start eating people. If I do do it, people complain, because I suck at basketball. It's a lose-lose situation.
*WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT SERIOUS. DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO NO-SERIOUS STUFF!!*
You know, now that I think about it, suicide really is the answer to anything and everything. Out of milk? SUICIDE. Bad at basketball? SUICIDE. Can't commit suicide? SUICIDE. Maybe we've been underestimating the strengths of suicide. I'm going to go try it now.
*END NON-SERIOUS STUFF. BACK TO SERIOUS. OR MORE SERIOUS, AT ANY RATE.*
I think suicide is a harsh, but acceptable, final solution to a problem. It's certainly not the FIRST think anyone should try, but if all else fails, rant about it on Fighu- I mean, uh, suicide. Suicune. Yes.
I can see why the whole 'no return' thing bothers people, but if someone can't, really can't, get better, there is always the final ragequit. Now that's a much nicer term than 'suicide', isn't it? Final ragequit. I should copyright that.
In conclusion, Suicune.

You know, they always say bipolar disorder is Mania and Depression, but I think it's really Mania and Corelis. Or DeNovo and ScintillaTinge. Actually, those aren't really antipodes so much as they are just moderators.
Don't you count as one of those people? As an Otherkin? Or are you really a Flying Bowling Ball. I've got my eye on you. Those Bowling Balls are tricky.
Psi-vampires!? That is the most utterly amazing and yet really ridiculous thing I've ever heard. And by "I've ever heard", I am of course discounting anything Mania ever said. Because of Mania.

I choose... erm... Electric. Electric types. That one. Or maybe Psychic. Ooh! Maybe Steel. Or... Fire? Or maybe Water, Dark, Ghost, Dragon, Grass, Rock, Ground, Ice, Bobblehead, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Actually, I think I'd go for Psychic. As a type, anyway. Pokemon-wise, Water seems to get all the cool ones like the selfish little... ...Bobblehead it is. I mean, seriously. Feraligatr, Swampert, Ludicolo, Greninja, Polywrath, Gyarados, Golduck, Blastoise, Crawdaunt, Wailord, Huntail, Barbaracle... The list goes on and on. Forever. Other types still get a few cool 'mons, though, when Water is feeling generous. Which it almost never is. Selfish little Bobblehead.

I must be a silly ignorant dumbface fishbowl, but aren't Vampires and Fae and Annunaki and Flying Bowling Balls mythical creatures? As in, things designed by humans for myths and things? Nonexistant? Fictional things, in fiction that is fictional and not nonfiction. Humans thought them up. I, as has been established, am a silly ignorant fishbowl dumbface whom is silly and a Flying Bowling Ball, but I thought that things that people made up don't have any possible spiritual connectivity to anyone. But apparently this whole community is built around people who have decided that they feel like the Flying Spaghetti Monster. One quesion that springs to mind is "is there an accepted definition for each race"? I mean, vampires are different from one story to the next. Do people identify with a certain series' vampires/werewolves/abominations from He... Hera? What if I wrote a book where vampires all have sausages for heads and can only speak while throwing Flying Bowling Balls? Are those vampires any less acceptable than the already accepted ones? Will people identify with them now?
Many of the articles linked to give a strong impression (and by that I mean outright state) that otherkin is a very 'spiritual' thing. Which, as explanations go, is right up there with 'a wizard did it' or 'because I said so'. Saying that you feel something spiritually comes to its first problem when you realize that spirits, like fae or dragons, do not actually exist. There are brains, that's where you think things and feel things. Substituting 'spirits' for 'brains' in those articles makes otherkin easily identifiable and explainable as a mental... um... thing. I don't want to say 'disorder', because that puts it alongside Depression or Mania. Or Corelis. Or Alberto. Even then, it seems like tacking an identifiable and comforting name onto something only vaguely related. Then again, who wants to start a community of people who have Dislikes Sunlight and Likes To Suck Blood Disorder (DSLTSBD)?
But what do I know, I'm just a fishbowl dumbhead ignorant silly. I am curious about the whole accepted definition thing, though. What's going on there?

Yeah, you are definitely a silly. Alongside Mania. Or Ares. Or SAPPHIROS . I think the best way to learn about Otherkin is to explore the people themselves. As far as I know, they're quite friendly.
And I'm pretty sure that there are psi-vampires as well, those just feed with energy.
