Things to script when shifting as a shapeshifter:
- You can shapeshift into any person, animal, object, and even things that donât exist in the existing world yet as long as you think about it
- You shapeshift instantly, just by having the intent in your mind to shapeshift into your desired person/animal/thing. You can not accidentally shapeshift with intrusive thoughts, and there needs to be actual intent behind it
- You can shapeshift as much as you want without it taking any energy away. Shapeshifting requires zero energy from you to do.
- If you only want the ability to shapeshift into any animal and person, there can be a distinct feature for all your shapeshifts that you canât shapeshift away (example, all your shapeshifts have blue eyes)
- if you want to be very OP, if you shapeshift into someone with fire powers, you also have fire powers with actual fire powers, or being able to read minds if you shapeshift into a mind reader with the intent to also have their powers. Shapeshifting makes you able to copy any power youâd like.
- Your powers of shapeshift are also technically illusion powers. You could shapeshift into your head coming off, and everyone would think youâve died. You could shapeshift into two things at once and make them separate from each other. Shapeshifting into a truck, then shapeshifting a few inches away a person, and run into yourself and make it seem like you were run over.
- You can shapeshift your hands into weapons (turning your hands into swords, chainsaws, machine guns, blades)
- A little bit similar but lighter to the last one but maybe a bit gross, you can shapeshift your hands into food, or any other body part, and eat yourself if youâre ever hungry
- Youâre good at changing identities, acting like a different person every new shapeshift, and if you ever shapeshift into an already existing person to trick someone, you can perfectly act as them. Youâre amazing at reading people and how they behave.
- You can change your voice in your shapeshifts. Not only can you change your voice to perfectly match someone else, but you can also shapeshift into a little child and then have a grown man deep voice to mess with people
- While you can look like anything on the outside, you can also change your insides too. If you wanted to look like a human but have the heart of an animal for your reasons, you could. You could use this to age eternally in your dr, but keep your insides healthy no matter who youâre shapeshifting as, as a trick to be immortal.
- along with your shapeshift powers, you have the ability to shapeshift other people too, but itâs not as strong since itâs someone else and likely the shapeshift may fade on them after a day at most.
- If you shapeshift into a big animal or something youâve never shapeshifted as before and itâs very different from what you usually are, youâre able to adapt to the new body quickly, or you just automatically get all the instincts of said thing, so you already behave like youâve been it forever (example: a dinosaur, dragonâŚ)
- You have many names and even different identities if you wish for each form, and you donât get an identity crisis from this. You feel like you are all of them even if you act different each time. And it feels completely natural for you. Additionally, itâs also easy for you to come up with different names.
- You have a mysterious aura on all your disguises, as if people can tell this isnât your only form without even realizing it consciously. People feel like thereâs more to you than you let on. Whether you want this to make people be more curious by you or threatened by your presence because they feel as if they donât know a single real thing about you is up to you, perhaps even both.
- The way you shapeshift can be fast, just a quick morph of features into the new form, or it can be your entire body turning white or black, then revealing your new form, or it can be a entire magical girl transformation, though the first one would likely be the fastest, the magical girl transformation taking the longest to morph into your new form.
- if you have multiple lives as a shapeshifter, you can balance them all equally without getting confused and mixing things up or overwhelmed by it.
- When you shapeshift as an animal, animals may sense thereâs something âmysterious and differentâ about you, but they wonât run away from you. They will instead want to be close to you. You can make friends with different species just fine even if your original form is completely different
- as a shapeshifter, you are more fearless and donât have any fears since shapeshifting requires you to get away from a lot of stuff. Even things like spiders, if you find yourself scared of them, you can shapeshift into one yourself and communicate with them, becoming friends with them in spider language and making them tell all their spider people they know not to harm you. You can even have a spider group to protect you in your house and let any other spider who comes to your house know that youâre technically one of them.
- Your original form can be anything. Maybe your original form was a human, but you couldâve been born a monster, an animal, an alien, anything. Maybe after a while of shapeshifting, you decided to be a human or whatever form you have in your dr.
Things to do when shifting as a shapeshifter (a lot of these are written from a mischevious/a bit mean shapeshifter perspective):
- Walk around as the animal of your choosing and watch people fawn over you. You can choose to be the neighborhood stray that everyone knows, or get adopted by someone. If adopted, You can choose to one day shapeshift back and scare them, or just live with them for a while before running away.
- Shapeshift as a rat or some kind of small bug and break into peopleâs houses while theyâre sleeping or away and judge their interior design and/or lay on their furniture and steal their food⌠or you can just say âF itâ and break in as your human self and quickly shapeshift into a bird to get away if they catch you.
- Shapeshift into someone elses object such as a tablet and move slightly everytime they look away to confuse them. Example: youâre their tablet on their table somewhere they look to often. Everytime they turn, move a few inches to the right until they notice and start to think ââŚ..i swear I didnât place that there..â
- Shapeshift into a animal and chase people you donât like to scare them
- Cause drama. Shapeshift into someone and start a argument with someone they know, then shapeshift back and watch the mess unfold
- Meet someone as one version of you, then another time, shapeshift into a different identity and meet them again. You can do this repeatedly and make a excuse why you canât meet up with the persons other friends (theyâre all you)
- Go on spy missions. It will be much easier to be undercover when you can actually just change your appearance
- Have a male, female, and maybe even nonbinary identity if you want that all look the same, then gaslight people about it. âWhat do you mean I said I was a girl yesterday and had long hair and had whole different features? Iâve literally always been a dudeâŚ.â And then do the same thing when you shapeshift back into a girl
- Get continuous free samples of food by shapeshifting into different identities
- Shapeshift as an important person (society or in the main group wise) from your dr and pretend to be them for attention and fun until they come back, then escape (this can be a additional way for you to meet the main group of your dr)
- Shapeshift as the serious/grumpy guy from your dr and act all cutesy and happy (maybe even in front of said guy to make them angry)
- Shapeshift into any existing character if youâre shifting to a world where your favorite fictional medias still exist.
- Fly over the world either with shapeshifted wings on your back, or just shapeshift as a bird, or even a dragon if youâre feeling flashy
- Shapeshift a mermaid tail and something to help you breathe underwater or just Shapeshift into a fish and explore the ocean. Maybe Shapeshift a strong âarmorâ for whatever youâre shapeshifting as in case any shark sneaks up on you.
- Shapeshift into an alien or anything that doesnât need oxygen, fly up to space, and explore the moon without worries.
- Make friends with all the different species in your drs. When you shapeshift into an animal, you can speak their language and talk to them. If there are species in your dr with their own language, you can speak their language when you shapeshift as one of them.
- Find another shapeshifter and prank people and cause mischief all around together. Perhaps you could both even shapeshift into each other and act like each other frequently, so people will have no idea whoâs who at which time as long as youâre both existing.
- this one is basic and something youâd do regardless, but shapeshift to try all different kind of haircuts and colors, and find what form you feel more comfortable and like âyourselfâ in. To make this less basic, shapeshift into shapes or a glitched version of yourself to mess with people. Shapeshift into having extra limbs. You can have six arms and either use it to multitask, or to crawl on the floor as a creepy human spider and chase people around to be a menace to everyone. You can shapeshift into slime, liquid, making yourself look younger, make yourself look older, make yourself as huge as the tallest building in NYC, make yourself smaller than a ant, so small humans canât even comprehend it.
- shapeshift to find someone elses secrets. Wether this be someone you know in your dr that you want to know the secret of, a enemy you need information on, or shapeshifting as a member of the government (or whatever is the top secretive thing in your reality) to talk to others and find out secrets. Wether you choose to expose them, have people pay you to reveal them or for whoever the person you got the secret from pay you to keep them a secret, or keep them to yourself and not tell a single soul is up to you, maybe even tease the information you have to others, but insist youâll never tell what it was.
- shapeshift into vehicles to get to places you need faster. You can shapeshift into a plane, a car, a motorcycle, anything.
Potential weaknesses to your power (if wanted)
- Completely ignore the third one, as long with a lot of the ones I already previously stated for most of these. Shapeshifting actually does take energy and while it feels good to shapeshift, too much can make you drained, tired, and weak.
- There is a certain material made in the world of your universe that can weaken your power, making shapeshifting feel as hard as lifting a boulder when you have no strength, and itâs a lot more effort to shapeshift then. You also may shapeshift back into your original or most used form when in contact with this material. Perhaps this material can be something able to be put in bullets, so you have to avoid being shot. Maybe it can be turned into a sword, so you have to avoid being cut even a little bit, or maybe just the material itself you cannot be close to or you will lose all your strength, maybe even being dizzy, and this will last depending on how long you were in contact with the material. Perhaps if you were around it for four hours, you will need nine hours to replenish your shapeshifting energy. (You can add any additional or take any side effects you want.)
- your whole body needs to be free. Clothes and rings donât matter of course, but if even your leg is shackled to a chain, you will not be able to shapeshift until your leg is free, and you will be stuck in the form you last shapeshifted as.
- The bigger and more powerful your shapeshift is, the more strength it takes to do, and the more strength it is to keep the form.
- You have a limit to how much you can shapeshift a day. If you go past that limit, you either canât shapeshift until the rest of the day passes, or you can have it so it gets harder and harder and more draining/painful
- You canât shapeshift or itâs a lot harder if youâre exhausted mentally and/or physically
- You have to put a lot of focus into your shapeshifts and it canât just be on the spot. The more complicated your shapeshift is, the longer it will take to fully morph you into it. If you lose focus for even a second, your form will start to fade back to your regular/most used form instead of the new one..
- You can only shapeshift into people/things youâve seen before. Maybe even you canât shapeshift into someone you havenât seen in a while if you donât remember their face.
- changing forms too fast will make you a bit confused and disoriented, feeling dizzy and needing a second to adjust, something very bad in a intense fight.
- Your shapeshifting powers are limited. You canât shapeshift a distinct feature like your eyes away, making it obvious when youâre trying to disguise yourself as another and they donât have the same color as your eyes. Maybe you canât shapeshift wounds away, and if theyâre lethal, they may stop you from shapeshifting altogether.
- If you shapeshift into a form much different and unfamiliar and uncomfortable than what youâre used to, you may slowly start to lose yourself if youâre in it constantly. If you shapeshift into a dragon, perhaps you start to forget what it means to be any form close to human or animals that arenât super big.
- Fire. Most forms arenât fire resistance unless you purposely shapeshift into something that can resist fire. Ice likely works as a weakness too, maybe even more so.
- Other shapeshifters have this sort of âconnectionâ where they can sense other shapeshifters, and they can either rat you out or keep it a secret
- There is a certain event that takes place in your world that âlessensâ everyoneâs power. If you rely on your powers only and someone with a weapon comes after you because of the event, youâll have to take your chance with a weapon, or just flee
- when you shapeshift, the longer you stay in that form, the more it starts to look bad and more horrible, and your original features start to come back. You only have a limited time to shapeshift, and it starts to get hard to keep the form the longer youâre in it especially if itâs a more complicated form.
- on the other side and moreso psychologically pretty scary, perhaps if you DONâT shapeshift, youâll get more tired and weaker. Wether this be a mental weakness where youâll get used to a form but then have to change and not be able to use it for a while again, or physical weakness where you feel so drained from constantly having to shapeshift every day (or the time you choose) that you donât want to shapeshift anymore, and this gives your enemies the ability to attack you easier since youâre so weak and donât want to recharge.
- If you get too emotional, youâll shapeshift uncontrollably, though this can be seen as a strength too. When youâre angry, maybe youâll shapeshift into a large creature such as a dinosaur, but as a weakness, it could be you get so angry that youâre shapeshifting into smaller creatures like a dog or mouse because you feel so overwhelmed that it makes you feel helpless, or a similar weakness can be you shapeshift into multiple different things uncontrollably (a dinosaur, a dragon, a cat, a human, a alien, a dog, twenty random people you saw on the road that day all within seconds until you calm down, and itâs hard to fight like that because it disorientates you and makes it harder to see what youâre doing, along with the fact youâre already angry, so thatâll just make you angrier and make it worse.
- The younger or older you are makes it harder to shapeshift. If youâre young, you donât have that much control over your powers yet, so either itâs harder to shapeshift, or you shapeshift a bit uncontrollably. If youâre more older, perhaps itâs more draining and takes more energy than when you were younger. For this, you get to decide what the perfect age is. Maybe â25-40â or you can customize this to your liking.
- If youâre a shapeshifter born human, perhaps non humans in your dr donât even get effected by powers and can just cancel it out, such as a demon or angel, able to take away your powers or limit them severely
- You have the habit of accidentally shapeshifting into things. Perhaps in a fight, youâll shapeshift into a cat because they are fast, forgetting cats arenât that strong or big, and you may be hit and hurt if they land a strike on you.
Enjoy! You can modify these to your liking of course. I added twenty things in each section! I guess this blog can also be used as writing ideas too. This is my first post, but thereâs more to come. Shapeshifting is my favorite power! â âżâ âĄ
