More than Human
About 15% of the population is capable of shapeshifting into other kinds of animals, usually having one mythical form and one or two more mundane ones or a sort of blended form between human and their mythos form.However… The world is not perfect as the government has deemed Shapeshifting to be illegal due to some attacks caused by a few Shifters that wreaked havoc and some rather weak evidence claiming that Shapeshifters aren’t as mentally able as humans are.
This of course caused a bit of an outrage among Shifters that hadn’t done anything wrong in their lives that effectively got told that they had to register themselves with the government. Just to get a little card that said what they could turn into (it’s kinda like a drivers licence as it has that kinda info as well and a photo). This card served as an ID for the Shifters… But also made it hard to get into some places since Shifters can be denied entry in most buildings just for being what they are.
It’s clear that this irritates them to no end… And rumors speak of an underground resistance of sorts that nobody’s sure even exists but is said to be working for ‘equal rights’
It also doesn't help the public opinion when known Shifters have been having sudden and violent outbursts for no reason… Or so it seems…
As there are people out there who really don’t like Shapeshifters.
Things to Note
- Other kinds of magic do exist… But Shifters really only have ‘extra’ abilities that tie into their shift.
- The RP takes place in a large city and is a modern setting, but don’t let that stop you from using bladed weapons and such over a gun either!
- There is a drug that can basically cause a Shapeshifter to go completely crazy… But not many of them are aware of it! There’s also a chemical that only they can smell, and it smells pretty bad (its used to find Shifters out usually… Most are aware of it at the very least)
- Shapeshifters have rather fast metabolisms
- The plot idea here is loose guys… I never made it far with this in personal use but it sounded like a cool RP idea! The most I really have in mind is a bit of free interact ---> Drugged rampage, ends in y’all getting arrested ---> Prison break & meeting the resistance
- How any of that happens is anyone’s game but that was as far as I got with it when I started this as an idea stub… And anything after is anyone’s guess.
- Most of y’all are gonna be getting inducted into the resistance… If you want an active member please ask me first! As there’s things I’ll PM you that would otherwise be shown in RP about them!
Rules
- No god modding/ controlling other people’s characters
- Five character limit, and only ONE of them can be in the resistance already. (this is the only rule of mine that I will break [more on the having multiple members already side] and it is for plot reasons only, the rest of you are bound to it!)
- NO BACKSTAGE BABIES!!
- Partially bleep cuss words
- Shifters can have one mythical form (and this can be anything) and one more mundane form that relates to the shift (i.e a serpent shifter having a snake shift). From there you can either have another mundane or a blended form (either one or the other, and by blended think like werewolves and how they sometimes have human like features with their wolf ones). To further clarify Mundane forms are the normal size for the animal in question and are 'normal' in appearance aside from eye color as sometimes they have unusual colors in that department. So no winged cats or salamanders the size of dogs here (unless its that breed of salamander)
- And up to THREE ‘extra’ magical abilities that relate to the shift in someway (like a serpent shifter that can manipulate water and things like that)
- Keep in mind that I prefer seim lit folks, and responses that are longer than two sentences… Don’t be that one person giving three sentences in response to a small paragraph, it just kills the mood! Also, please use “quotation marks” for speaking and italics for thoughts. It’s how books do it, its how most people do it, and it’s how I recognise speech and thought without going nuts. (Just a thing I’ve seen floating around and despise. This doesn't mean that you can’t use italics in speech either! Don’t be a smarta*s!)
- Put a meme in the other section to prove you read the rules!
