Player: Rex
Character: Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: He's currently throwing down with a werewolf - needless to say this is something he did in his past life albiet a bit more skillfully
Type and tier: Tier 2, Physical/Item
What is returned:

Physically, Doyle's going to look a little more beastly - his teeth are sharper, his pupils are slitted, his nails grow in tough, sharp, and bright red, his ears are pointier (and can wiggle around), and his skin looks a little... off. Maybe paler, maybe grey, but not like a corpse or a basement-dweller. On the bright side, he'll have a stronger sense of smell and hearing, and will be able to see in the dark a little better! However, he won't read as entirely 'human' anymore to people who can sense that.

The item he gets back will be a silver, narrow, triangular earring, with a dark purple stone in it. Even though he was a powerful godlike being, he was sometimes lazy in need of devoting more of his focus on his shadow powers instead of keeping a different shape. This earring could shift him from his huge natural form, to the... mostly human form I described above. Some additional glamour-whatever-magic helps sell it a little better, but that was him, not the earring.
I've said all that, but the earring for now does nothing, it just looks neat.

So uh, to be clearer - the whole shapeshifting thing is relevant, because where Umbrael's from, weres were essentially humans with magic who used it to turn into animals (to fight things like Umbrael's kind, to be honest), and Umbrael sort of copied their magic so his kind could turn into humans, to better disguise themselves and hide now that humans were getting the upper hand.


Reason for Echo: Wise Snake B.S.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Physical
What is returned:

he turns into this:

and a bust for good measure

Though he'll start out a few hands shorter than that first image, he'll grow into it! Also he's not getting any inherent knowledge of how to move around as a dionsaur thing, that's going to take some adjusting. Not much else to say, really, other than that it's going to suck to be a big reptile in early march!

ok i think that's everything.
