So....why this and not anything else that I know myself to be akin to in real life?
A, I'm not clannish/insular enough to be a Werewolf -- too great a scope in seeing life and the earth and all. Besides, I'm a predator by nature, not a fluffy-bunny who ignores Darwin.
B, I'm not depressed enough to be a Vampire, nor guilty enough on account of taking life to feed. When you know that it doesn't really require bringing constant death to sustain your own life, and that you're not morally-objectively "cursed" or anything, then what's the big deal?
C, I don't look like any specific sort of Changeling (at least, don't think I do), nor am I that amoral and pixyish as a consistent rule.
And we all know I'm not a Wraith. So, being gifted with the reason and insight and quest for self-understanding that I am...yeah, I guess in this limited and exclusively-categorized world, that makes me a Mage.
Or at least that's what shows.
