Part 1: Races
Changeling
Changelings are subtle shapeshifters capable of disguising
their appearance. Their ability to adopt other creatures’
guises makes them consummate spies and criminals.
Personality
Changelings are commonly harmless, passive people and are
uninterested in politics and social affairs. Due to their
capricious ways of life many people have come to distrust the
changelings which has led to them becoming social recluses
or more commonly has pushed them to create fake identities
to escape persecution.
Having no culture of their own the changeling slip into
other's societies and blend in. Rather than creating their own
art and achievements the Changeling are happy with claiming
other societies' as their own. This nomadic lifestyle has led
the changeling to become exceptionally adaptable people.
Changeling will not simply shapeshift into a new person but
rather create a new whole one. Most changeling will set up a
handful of personas so if one is compromised they can
disappear and switch to one of their others. Their personas
that they create are incredibly realistic and have their own
personality traits, backgrounds and network of friends. The
changeling can be evasive and will often try to avoid
confrontation or anything that will draw attention to
themselves.
Description
Changelings can look like anyone at any given time though
they do have a true form. Their natural look can be scary to
some due to their lack of detail and distinctive features. Their
skin tone is always pale, the darkest tone some have is a light
grey. They have large white eyes but have no pupils and are
circled by thick black rings. Their noses are small and subtle
with no detail.
The changeling's body structures are slender, even more so
than elves and border on being frail. Their hair colour is most
commonly a light shade of silver followed by platinum and
blonde. In rarer cases their hair can be pale shades of green,
pink and blue. Also similar to elves the changeling lack body
and facial hair.
Changeling Names
Changeling names are usually monosyllabic and seem to
other races more like nicknames than proper names. In fact,
changelings collect names and may go by entirely different
names in different social circles. They make no distinction
between male and female names.
Male and Female Names: Bin, Dox, Fie, Hars, Jin, Lam,
Nit, Ot, Paik, Ruz, Sim, Toox, Yug.
