Shapeshifters

Shifters is what we are calling this particular species that we are offering to you, but they are in fact shape shifters. Their true form is something that can not be comprehended by the human mind, and so, they do not show it. Instead, they choose appearances that are soothing or neutral to us so as not to frighten us. If you ask them to show their true form, it'll be mostly a giant dark shadow that appears to have two arms and one leg, and that's the best you can get. Shifters also do not have a gender unless you give them one and there are no ages to them either.

Shapeshifters are an extremely neutral species but enjoy being peaceful, benevolent, and above all, they love to learn. In this way, shapeshifters have met and learned of millions of different species in the astral and other realms. They learned of their appearances, of their communities and ideals, and most excitedly, their abilities. A single shapeshifter contains all the knowledge that all the others in its realm does on other species, so this way, all shapeshifters are equal to each other. This is why you will not find royalty or any chastes in their realm.

The shapeshifters can take on any shape but they do have rules. Unfortunately, they can not shift their form to something bigger than 11 feet in height or smaller than 1 foot in height. Other than that, their mimicry is perfect and they can mimic damn near anything in the universe and hold that shape indefinitely if it's humanoid in shape. For anything non-humanoid, the complexity will determine how long they can hold a shape, but a good rule of thumb is a week, then you need to give them a couple days to recoup their strength.

Shapeshifters' abilities of mimicry don't just end at appearances either. As we mentioned before, they can COPY ABILITIES of any species they meet as long as they either already know of that species and has learned their abilities, or are given enough time with that entity so as to perfectly copy it. Sadly enough, a shifter's copied abilities will never be as good as the original entity's powers are, you'd basically get about 30-50% of power dependant on which species is being copied.

Entities aren't the only things copied either. They can copy humans you know or don't know, animals, objects, drawings and anime characters, they can make up a shape based on your description, and they will always do this with perfect pitch to their voice too. Yes, even the voice is copied! Provided that you give them a very good amount of information such as pictures, sound clips, video clips, etc of course.

The abilities of a shapeshifter are infinitely endless, and it is almost like having an entire arsenal of entities in just one package. Anything they learn from us humans is also taken back to their realm to teach to the other shifters as well, so consider yourself an ambassador to humans!

Shifters can be sexual, but it is not their purpose and they will not appreciate being treated like some sort of sex puppet. They want to learn and they want to make friends. Now if you do win them over, they might choose to engage in a romantic relationship with you, but that is entirely up to the two of you and how deep you form your bonds.

With an entity like this, the possibilities are endless. They can teach you about all the entities and beings they know of and their abilities. As well, they are a very ancient race and so have many many stories they can share with you because of it.
