I have never before heard of “otherkin” or “soulbounders.” There are dozens of comments here by people who apparently have, but I’m still inclined to think that my state of ignorance is more typical.
Thesepages seem to have the best explanations. And apparently it’s spelled “soulbonders” not “soulbounders” (the misspelling causing some confusion when Google refused to serve up anything relevant).
http://www.astraeasweb.net/plural/glossary.html#soulbond For a source that doesn’t consider the idea mock-worthy. It’s a fairly obscure term that comes from the Plurality / Multiple community. Once you’ve accepted the idea that you can have multiple personalities inside your head, this extends it to the idea of having some fictional character from another source as one of those personalities.
(The otherkin link is Wikipedia, which seems neutral enough as sources go :))

Sorry, my fault for misspelling it.
