Shifters are the canon "werewolves" found in the books (i.e., Jacob and company). They use magic found in their blood to transform into an animal shape. The Quileutes have chosen the wolf form; they are sometimes mistaken for werewolves. We have taken the shifter concept a bit further on this game. On this game, other animal forms are possible for shifter characters. The characters must be from a Native tribe somewhere in the world (preferably in the US or Canada) and must have learned the same "magic" the Quileutes have learned in order to transform.
In an effort to maintain some sense of realism, the animal forms introduced ICly are restricted. It makes little sense for the Forks area to become a center of random shifters meeting representing different tribes. Check the character concepts board for the most recent news on species and tribes being accepted. For now, we're accepting:
- Wolves (Quileute tribe - La Push, WA)
- Bears (Inuktitut tribe - Northern Canada)
