First Planeswalk: Ixalan 

Appearance: [Name] is a vaguely humanoid amalgamation of vines and wood that, through their newfound magic, form a human-ish body. Their head, chest, and back are mad of hardened bark plates, as are the backs of their forearms and the front of their legs. The more “fleshy” bits, as well as major joins are comprised of many vines. Where their eyes would be, instead are gently glowing red orbs.

Background: For uncountable years, Chydle was just another carnivorous plant on the plane of zendikar, consuming whatever animals fell into its trap. Mindless, senseless, thoughtless, until it caught a new kind of prey. For all of its life it only ate beasts, the creatures that thought they were too strong, too fast, too big to be hunted. One day, an unwary planeswalker came to explore the forest this plant made its home. As he was exploring, he fell into the trap, just as many beasts before him, and was eaten. The plant, not knowing the consequences its actions would have, consumed the planeswalker and his spark. Through magics unknown to either party the planeswalker’s spark moved from one, into the plant, elevating it from a simple, instinctive plant, to a sentient being. They were flung  off of Zendikar, uprooted, and forced into a new and unfamiliar area. They didn’t recognize their surroundings, the nearby plants, the taste of the water and the air. Unable to reroot themselves, they found they no longer needed to be planted into the ground. They twisted their vines and bark into a form to match the human they consumed, and began to explore their new powers.
