Background History
Numerous different types of 'Creature x Human' ShapeShifters exist in the universe, they come in a variety of Shapes & Sizes and come with; Claws, Feathers, Fur, Horns, Scales, Skin, Tails, Talons, and Wings. With a vast array of creatures that anyone can be transformed into, they're normal state may not overly be that of Human either. User ImageSometimes in they're Human Form, whether or born that way, learnt or cursed they can often show features of the creature they become, although some are able to conceal it by use of a spell, potion or power. Though in they're Creature state, they do in some way still resemble features and characteristics that of if they are in fact Human. With the exception of the full moon when they animalistic side takes full control over them. Distinguishes between the vast variety is explained below, which include solely persons infected by contact with another *Creature's* bodily fluids, and ShapeShifters, a class that persons who are able to ShapeShift as a result of magic, either learnt with a spell, or family trait and can often be a result of a personal or family curse.
*Please note: If you want a particular creature that isn't already up please feel free to message me. And there are some places for exceptions with these guidelines. Please do not be afraid to ask.

Feral Mind (Advanced), May be unable to separate friend from foe and attacks everyone. May be unable to remember activity in primal rage. May revert to a state of mind where only thoughts are simply: fight, flight, or mate.
It is very unpredictable and may tap into primal, unstoppable rage instincts that allows them to perform in vastly increased capacity, taking and inflicting damage that they wouldn't in either of they're Human or Natural Creature Forms. In some cases, the user's mind descends so far into the feral rage that, mentally, they are nothing more than this full blooded Creature.

General Sore Spots and Weaknesses

This is a list of some weaknesses and sore spots for you to get a general idea of what to put down. *I may need to contact you regarding some of these, but feel free to contact me if you are unsure*

Senses
- Sight; Both Bright-lights and Sunlight.
- Hearing: Loud 'extreme' noises
- Smell: Potent smells/scents.
Fears
- Heights; Must be close to the ground at all times, if possible or else they can become anxious
- Being Alone; Due to pack mentality, they feel much better when surrounded with others. (This is usually more Female than Male again due to the pack mentality)
- Darkness; They may or may not be able to have enhanced vision and so become paranoid and anxious.
- Unknown Things; Things that can't be seen or heard.
Ranged and Long Distance Attacks / Fighting
- Not very Skilled in either of these. Unless trained.
- Such as throwing weapons
- Physical strength. Some may rely more on their magic and Creature forms to fight and defend themselves, so in Human Form they have almost no physical fighting skills at all.
User ImagePure Silver and Mercury
- Pure Silver may only maim or burn a person in Full Beast Form. Though in they're Natural Creature Form it will scar them and cause them to retreat. But will dangerously harm them in human form.
- Mercury is a relatively poor conductor of heat but is a good conductor of electricity and it can also be used in silvering mirrors. The problem with this is that when these legends were written the metal mercury was thought of as a kind of silver. It was called quicksilver. Mercury can form an ally with silver but it is completely unrelated to silver. Mercury Alchemists often thought of mercury as the first matter from which all metals were formed. It turns out that there could be a mistake in the translation that silver will kill Full Beasts such as Werewolves. It is very possible that the actual metal used to defeat a were-beast was actually mercury. This has a more averse affect on a person in all forms. How bad, most don't know as they have been rather lucky enough to stay away from the metal. But they can ALL be generally Severely maimed and injured. (This depends on Attack/Defense)
Feral MindUser Image
- Instinct and Thought; May throw themselves into fights without thinking things through and may even be prone to bursts of anger.
- Lacks the ability to communicate. Like a mindless beast.
- If someone (Cursed mainly) That has been forced into Human form, there for suffers just like a normal human of that build. They may also find it harder to do they're normal tasks and drain energy rapidly in human form, they can however eat regular food. But in they're other form they may not be able to eat those foods... unless they want to be sick.
- Gender, some have no gender when in one or all of these forms. It can be a very Personal and intimate thing for them.
- Height, may appear small in any of the forms depending on the creature.
Elements and Magical abilities
- Water Spells/Magic. Some may be weaker when battling against water element and magic.
- Vulnerable to death via poisons, disease/illness, and anything else that would be considered fatal to average humans.
Transformations
- Transforming from a Natural Creature into a Human, they are usually in ripped clothing / none. Sometimes forgets the feelings or thoughts was having in Natural Creature Form. Meaning if they were about to eat a part dead animal, then turns. They still have it in they're mouth and spits it out. Also in Natural Creature Form can switch to Human Form, when they feel comfortable enough being in their own skin.
- Transforming from a Full Beast Form into a Human. They suffer with memory loss during the time of the full moon in third form. They could kill their best friend or even a family member and not even know it.

Breeds, Ranks & Species


User ImageUser Image Were-Creatures are often cursed people, that are forced to change on a full moon to the Werecreature that they have been cursed to become. The most commonly known form of a Were creature are Werewolves, there are also Werebears, Weretigers and Werefoxes and many other Werecreatures. You can also become a Were creature if you are bitten by a Were creature and survive the attack. It can also be past down as a hereditary trait due to a family curse/Spell. There is no known cure for the curse of a Were creature. They are known as being undead, as people who are Were Creatures do sort of become immortal, they can only be killed in particular ways.
*If you want a particular WereCreature that wasn't mentioned please feel free to message me*

User Image Lycan (Lycanthropes) Sometimes are barred from certain professions and can in fact still be killed on sight in some places. Criminal acts undertaken at the order of one's alpha might be regarded as actions taken under duress. User ImageThough acts taken without order from the Alpha can lead to exile from the pack. Lycans display a number of greatly enhanced physical attributes in either form, although the werewolf-form is physically superior to the human one. However some can be permanently transformed and feral, those they convert can revert to their original human forms and retain their personalities. A bite from a Lycan is Lethal, but heritage can allow someone to survive and become a Lycan themselves.

*If you need any help understanding the difference between the Lycan and a Were-Creature please don't be afraid to ask*

There are just a few types of ShapeShifters. These are usually to do with Magic abilities, spells or potions. And people able to use these, you don't have to be a witch to profess in these but you may need to explain how you became one, either through family or a skill learnt. Even stolen.

User Image Animagus (Animagi) is a witch or wizard, or a person with magical abilities who can morph him or herself into an animal at will. It is a learned, rather than an hereditary skill, unlike those of a Metamorphmagus. Use of a proper spell, potion is needed and usually a sample from a creature or WereCreature is to be used. However and unfortunately for this spell to work properly the Creature / WereCreature has to die at the end of the spell. Shifting this way has benefits since the person gains all the power of the Creature / WereCreature but is not tied to forcefully changed with a full moon.User Image

User Image Metamorphmagus (Metamorphmagi) is a witch or wizard, or a person with magical abilities. Having the ability to change his or her physical appearance at will, rather than requiring Potion or a spell like the rest of the magical population. They are extremely rare.
