Schafter

## About

The Schafters originate from the Planet Kahhron, in the Fa’lg-ic Galaxy. They are hyper dominant shapeshifters, and can contort their body by “melting” it. This liquid state can allow them to grow, shrink, mold, and shape their body. Melting also allows Schafters to pass through solid objects such as walls and floors. They have cells scattered throughout their body that perform set functions, such as respiration, sight, smell, etc. Schafters can duplicate, divide, and distribute these cells wherever they wish throughout their body. Schafters do not have a nervous system, and they instead sense external feelings through vibrations. Schafters also have only 4 set pigments. Black, red, white, and gray. The schafters are working on a way to enable all schafters to change to any pigment desired, but it will take time because of the current focus being on war effort. They live about 214 years. If necessary, schafters can create nervous cells which allow them to feel any internal pain, however they prefer not to feel pain, as it is physically restricting. Schafters are hard to kill, as they cannot be killed via blood loss (due to a lack of blood), mangling (functioning cells do not have a set location and are distributed randomly around the body, so cutting off one’s head would not cut off the brain from the body), and even viruses (Schafter medicine is highly advanced). Schafters can only be killed if all of their cells are dead, examples are destruction via nuclear bomb, frozen to death, and starvation. Schafters need a lot of food, and a lot of energy to keep moving. If schafters have no energy, they will not be able to move, and all their cells die within a day. Schafters also require water to keep fluidity in their shapeshifting. If a schafter is frozen, their cells also stop working, and the being can die within minutes. A schafter can survive in dry and cold climates, but only if they don’t melt themselves.

## Appearance

Schafters, being shapeshifters, dont really have a set form. However they only can have black, red, white, and gray in their color scheme due to pigment limitations. Also both Zareth and All Kind choose to have a tail.

## History

Schafter technology is the most advanced technology known, since it comes from so many other galaxies and cultures. The schafters are ruled under a monarchy, the role of king is passed down through family. The king controls the army, and all laws schafters abide on all planets. It is not uncommon that a king is hellbent on universal domination, as the schafters have enslaved hundreds of entire galaxies due to their high fitness. Schafters tend to avoid naturally dry, and naturally cold planets as dry climates with limited access to water limits their flexibility, and cold planets prevent them from shapeshifting. Young schafters are often schooled up until they are about 20. The schafters with the higher scores are asked to avoid fighting, and work in labs or as medics, and the rest are enrolled in the military.
