The Changeling

The Changeling is a master shapeshifter, able to take the form and function of anything with roughly equivalent mass. Changelins are very dangerous because they can get really close to their foes and wait it out, hiding in plain sight for the right moment to strike. 
== Origin Story: ==
Changelings were said to be the result of Lillith, Mother of all Monsters, who experimented upon a brood of ancient Fey. Fey blood runs in the veins of the Changelings and it is this connection to the wild energies of absolute potential that grant the Changelings the ability to shift between forms.
== Facts: ==
-Changelings have only this one power, but they learn to use it to its fullest potential.
-Changelings gain increased or decreased physical attributes depending on the shape they take. If a Changeling mimics the form of a body-builder, he'll be a lot stronger for it. Conversely, if he takes the form of a small child, he will have the physical limitations of being a child. 
-Changelings can change shape within a few moments, depending on the complexity of the new form they desire.
-Changelings can mimic voices perfectly simply by hearing a few sentences of a target.
-Despite their shapeshifting abilities, Changelings cannot lose wounds simply by changing forms. In fact, extensive damage may leave them stuck in their current form. Also, Changelings do not possess an advanced healing ability and heal at the normal rate. 
-Stories are told of Changelings who, after years shifting from one form to the next, forgot their own form and where thereafter unable to return to their own, 'real' form. 
-Stories of Changelings taking children and trading them with their own may have some bases in fact. Changelings seem to have a slight abhorence for their state of being and so when they reproduce (they can reproduce with each other or humans or Fey) they prefer to leave the children with another race. Somehow they are able to mold their child to look like a duplicate of the one to be taken. 
-Needless to say, Changelings make the perfect infiltrators and are often hired as spies or saboteurs. 
== Powers: ==
-A Changeling can appear as nearly anything, so long as it is of roughly equivalent mass or less.
-Changelings can only mimic the form (shape, coloration, texture, etc.) and function (moving parts) but not supernatural powers. A Changeling could take the form of a Dracon, but he could not mimic their ability to breath fire.
