Wulf Howl's profile system includes an "Otherkin Card", a profile box explaining each user's theriotype(s) and personal experience with therianthropy. Wulf How later expanded to include a community articles system, an otherkin registry, a links directory, a user map, a virtual currency, and several social-networking features. |
