Shape-shifter

Shape-shifters, also known as Shifters, are a race of supernaturals with the power to morph into any creature they desire.

Overview[]

A shape-shifter's brain pattern changes when they shift.

A shape-shifter's ability to shape-shift is dependent on the individual's talent: certain shape-shifters may only have enough power to transform into a small creature, such as birds or cats, though their powers could also advance overtime. Half-blooded shape-shifters are more limited by what they can transform into than pure-blooded shape-shifters. Their shifts are triggered by rage, which can be dangerous if not carefully handled.

Personality Traits Index[]

A shape-shifter is the person who always seems to find a way to fit in, regardless of the circumstances. Maybe he's the class clown who works hard to make others laugh. Or maybe he's the one who mimics the style of whatever group he's around.

Shape-shifters have lots of interests and, depending on the situation, they can easily blend into several different groups. While their talent of "fitting in" is a gift that not only serves them well but can benefit the people who quickly relate to them, it can often leave the shape-shifters feeling confused about where they really belong.

They are multi-talented individuals and things generally come easy for them. But on the inside, they may question who they really are and what is important to them. Often, they use their high voltage charm to cover up their insecurities and the feelings of having to transform themselves in order to be liked. Everyone loves a shape-shifter but deep down, they may wonder if they really know them.

What's more, most people sense a current of anger or rage in a shape-shifter, and they never want to see that side of the person.
