Though I'm pretty sure you guys reading this already got this down pat. You're all pretty inventive.
SHAPESHIFTERS
Mostly because the past three sites I've been on (Forgotten Souls Evermore, Tempting Fate, and Our Playground World) all feature shapeshifters as a playable race.
When people think of being a shapeshifter, they automatically think 'werewolf'.
It's kind of an engrained thing. We think werewolves because werewolves are the most common type of shapeshifter in media.
And then when you run around shifter sites, you see some other very common form choices: dog, cat, fox, tiger, and hawk/eagle/falcon. If sites allow it, then of course dragon and phoenix are along the lines of the above mentioned.
What is it with these animals that we are always so ready to pick them? Are they really the best forms possible?
I know that they are intriguing, and you can be strong, cool, and 'mysterious' all at once with one of these forms, but what are some other animals that are friggin sweet?
Let's step outside the box and take a look!
Mandrill Baboon
The mandrill baboon is a vicious predator. Yup. Predator. Though not your typical meat eater, these bitches are the natural enemies of leopards. LEOPARDS! Freaking jungle cats are scared of these freaks. They look mean and tough when snarling in your face like this bad boy. But otherwise, their pretty blue and red faces are kind of sweet.
Venezuelan Poodle Moth
This pokemon... oh wait, I mean uh, this mythical...
Oh, it's a moth.
Well, this adorable cutie is just on of the sweet little creatures you could possibly shift into. Though pretty much useless, it is adorable.
Boomslang
Thinking of being dangerous? Instead of a wolf, try a boomslang. Though small and lithe and not that creepy looking, this beauty's venom inhibits the blood from clotting properly, and causes the victim to bleed out of every hole and pore in their body.
Much more effective than teeth and claws.
Blue Shark
One of the stars on Shark Week, this bad boy will gorge itself on its prey until it throws up, then keep on going back for more. Imagine facing off against one of these bad boys.
Sugar Glider
Another cutie. Yah... be a sugar glider...
I'm sure there are plenty of cute and useful animals out there... Oh!
Maned Wolf
Don't just be a boring-ass grey wolf, be a maned wolf! Beak that werewolf stereotype! Maybe your character is from Brazil or something.
Honey Badger
I'm just gonna leave you with this lovely and hilarious video explaining all the reasons why you want to be a badass honey badger!
Oh I'm just gonna stop there and tell you to youtube HoneyBadgerNarrates. He makes all animals sound amazing. Just pick one of those.
Of course there are plenty of amazing animals all around the world to turn into besides what he lists wether because they are cute or creepy or friggin badass.
ROLEPLAY
On a roleplay note, nothing major to report. Mercury is growing into one big freaking project, but that's only cause I keep getting inspiration. Hopefully more people will join. I need to invite more people >.>
Were Myths is also starting to grow some.
Aisthesis is plodding along...
My other sites are just kind of there. I don't really care either way as they are not my focus.
NOTE: I will be gone over the weekend. No updates from me till Monday. Hopefully I will get a crafting post published tomorrow. Monday I will hopefully get to post up pictures from the LARP ^^
Peace out minions!
