Well, this was certainly unexpected.
One minute you were doing something completely normal, something you were used to, and the next you were tearing away from the world in a completely different form. As magical as the feeling of doing--being--something else was, you knew you were no longer going to be accepted in society. So you ran away in search of someone who knew what was going on.
And found them.
Who are they, you ask? Why, they are the Unknowns, a collection of shapeshifters like you, fighting to gain a foothold in the world while running from bountyhunters and the government.
Will you fight with them?
Additional Info
It isn't unusual for shapeshifters to slowly become more like the animals they can turn into. For instance, wolf shifters might have enhanced scent and hearing, bird shifters might have better sight, and cat shifters might have better reflexes and flexibility.
There isn't any real 'ranks' in the Unknowns, but it's generally accepted that the toughest shifter and the smartest shifter should lead. There can be challenges made often, to either the brains or the brawn. The challenges take different shapes, sometimes a test of wit or speed, other times a test of strategy or strength. It all depends on the challenged.
Ground rules(besides Tess's)
1) You must make a male and female, minimum. After that, you can make however many you can keep up with, so long as the number of the genders is even.
2) You have a maximum of three different forms. They can be related, but it isn't required.
3) Flesh out your character! Even though there isn't a set sheet, you can still create one yourself. If you do need a sheet, though, you only have to ask!
