Shapeshifters (D20 Modern Race)

Shapeshifter (The World of The)

Shapeshifters are seen as emotionless to other races, but they are very social to their own race. They are very strong and often a bit slow on things because of their distant thinking habits. They are known to ignore most conversations with others, but always pay attention to any kind of tale.

Shapeshifters hate money, but they love collecting. They are mostly seen in their animal forms collecting random objects, and for those (most) that are addicted to Gold are often found stealing.

Physical Description

You can tell shapeshifters from others by their height. Most are noticeably taller and skinnier than humanoids (exceptions to if they change into short or fat animals). Their skin color is always based on their class, of which can be: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, or mammals. Fish have blue or green tint in their skin and often natural gray in their hair. Amphibians have red or green tint in their skin with red in the base of their hair (or in the roots then grow out). Reptiles normally have green or brown tint in their skin and always have black hair. Birds shimmer yellow or red tints of skin and mostly have blond or brown-blond hair. Mammals (non-humans) have more pink in their tint and often have large lips with light brown hair.

Relations

All races except humans and robots think that shapeshifters are stuck up and just quiet; so they are left to be lonely. Shapeshifters do not try to make friends, they just do as they please and live as they like. Demi-Humans seem to have a liking to them because of their relationship to animals.

Alignment

Most shapeshifters are happy being neutral. None live in chaos, but their are some that have given into drugs and lead a life of evil.

Lands

Shapeshifters were the first creation of humans. They were created with genes of human and animal, so they live as their animal parts see comfortable.
