Shifters are like those weird cousins that your mom doesn't allow you to visit because they have an obsession with fire. This was supposed to go somewhere, but it went in a weird direction. ANYWHOOO. Shifters are like the cousins of Were. Very same concept but at the same time a different thing all together.
Not a lot of information is known of the shifters, ancient writings of them have been destroyed or seemingly lost forever, this is said to be the work of the gypsy that unleashed this "curse" among a few royal lines. It is also said the form the shifter takes is that of their spirit animal.
Appearance-
Shifters in their base form would very much like humans. Perhaps some features of the animal they often shift into would be present.
Depending on the animal, which come in natural colors. ( no hybrid animals allowed. Please use common sense with animal forms. We will not accept a humpback whale shifter)
Shifters in society:
Shifters often adopt several names to remain anonymous among human societies and will only reveal their birth names to close friends and family.
They are often elusive and hard to figure and are often found bonding with nature and animals.
Racial Abilities-
Strengths:
Exceptionally strong ( This depends on the shifter type. You would not expect an avian shifter to be strong as a dog shifter would be)
Over average Stamina ( which means, they are more than likely able to run a few more minutes longer than the AVERAGE human)
Enhanced flexibility and agility ( flexibility is only found in those who play Feline races)
Night vision
Toxins do not affect them.
Enhanced hearing and sense of smell
Weaknesses:
Are prone to shift at the worst possible moment, especially if the full moon is out.
Gold. Wearing gold or keeping them on the shifter's person would not allow them to shift.
True name. Like the stories about Fae, Shifters are bound by their true name, if someone knows it, they have the power to turn them
into their slave. Command them and they will follow without question.
Reflective surfaces. Normally in their shifted forms, staring into a reflective surface would turn them back into their human forms.
Brain power is limited in the shifted animal form. They would appear as "smarter than average animals" but will not retain much of their human consciousness.
Remaining in a shifted form for more than a few days would make the shifted form permanent.
