Phoenixal, also known as fenikae or phenixic, is an alterhuman term that describes someone with a particular kind of past life, believing that they died or otherwise left their past life, and were born again into this one. They may additionally believe that this process has happened many times before, and will continue in the future.
This term may be used by those who do not personally identify as alterhuman as well, so long as they feel this label is fitting for them. However, phoenixal is generally considered to be an alterhuman label by default.[1][2]
Flags and Symbols[edit | edit source]
Both flags represent death/removal and rebirth, shown through the top part, which represents the former life, to black (death), to dark blues (consciousness), mid-purples (growth), and eventually orange (life, rejuvenation). Orange was chosen as this color due to it being based off of phoenixes.
The symbols meanwhile represent the branching paths of different lives that the person has lived, all being tied to and circling back in to the same being or person. The phoenixal loop, in particular, also references infinity.[3]
