“Change is the law of life. You can’t stop the future, you can’t rewind the past. The only way to know the secret is… to never stop changing”

Shapeshifting, also known as transformation or transmogrification, is a change in the form or shape of a person, especially a change from human form to animal form, or a change in appearance form one person to another. Shapeshifters can change their form so as to appear as any person living, dead, or fictional, or they can change into animals and/or objects. Unlike most monsters, shifters have appeared to have purely human drives that have ranged from jealously, greed and loneliness. They aren’t immortal, but they live longer than any human. They can live for hundreds and even a thousand years, but they eventually die. It appears that not all the shapeshifters have the exact same abilities.

Some of them can change form into different animals, other change their appearance to look as any person, creature or monster. Some of them have hybrid forms of animals. Others stick to just one animal transformation, combining it with hybrid form or not. It’d be impossible to describe all the range of possibilities and abilities that shapeshifters can handle. Their powers would depend on the shapeshifter itself.

Basic abilities (to all shapeshifters)

•  Invisibility  
• Heightened senses.
• More resistance, strength and speed than humans, but usually less than vampires, werewolves or demons.
• Ability to change form voluntarily (depends on the shapeshifter what forms they can adopt) 
• Others (depending on the shapeshifter. When applying please tell clearly what form/forms your creature will adopt and you may add up to 3 powers more than the ones written here)

Weaknesses:

- Shapeshifters are basically humans that adopt other forms. They would be almost as vulnerable as them, but they have an exceptional ability, amongst all creatures, to escape from their enemies. In a battle face to face with more powerful creatures such as vampires, demons and werewolves they had no much opportunity, but they are skillful, fast and can escape relatively easily if they lucky.

Subcategories:

all kinds of shapeshifters can be divided into two classes:

1st class shapeshifters: Noble and usually very rich. They pay for protection to other creatures and are very proud.

2nd class shapeshifters: Commoners with not a lot of money and usually dealing with a lot of troubles to survive in a cruel world.
