History: OOC: Shadow, or Shads as people liked to call her, was my first roleplaying character. I made her friendly, sometimes overly so, because I wanted to make friends in this new environment (The Shapeshifter's Nightclub). She started out being silly, a bit of comedy relief, and eventually was shaped through roleplay into being a more serious character. Through roleplay, she got most of what she has now, including her hakarr blade. Unfortunately, these roleplay given gifts weren't always in the best interest of the character. For example, at one point, Shadow met a lasombra vampire woman named Saera. Fascinated by Saera's ability to control the shadows, she accepted when Saera offered to teach her these gifts. She needed only to swallow a drop of Saera's blood in some wine, and they were hers. She studied under Saera, and thus learned the secrets. However, I as a player didn't know that bastet couldn't learn vampire disciplines, without becoming wyrm-tainted, ghouled, or an abomination. So that was a bit of a mistake. Mistake #2 occured while I was playing with Deva. Deva tends to take her characters to the extreme and exact massively powered battles, and my roleplay with her did the same to my characters. Shadow was relying more and more upon her shadow powers for her very continued existance, and at one point, Deva's spirit phoenix broke off a part of itself and fused that part with Shadow. This was all well and good, from an OOC standpoint, while the phoenix was young. However, it gave her too many abusable powers - ammunity to fire, for one, which is one of the bastet's weak points, and the ability to turn into a phoenix form consisting of pure fire, in which she wasn't harmable physically. Because of these overpowered gifts, I've decided to retire her. If she comes back, it'll be as a normal bastet, probably ravaged by the darkness she let into her soul in accepting the shadow powers in the first place.
IC: Shadow grew up never knowing who she truly was. Her father dissapeared when she was about 8. Her first change occured when she was a teenager, she was trying her luck with a boy when he tried to force himself onto her. Enraged, she shifted, and scared the boy witless. She took off at that point, wandering around and searching for who she truly was, leaving her sister and mother. Eventually she came across a band of ones like her, bastet, and they taught her their ways. They were led by a balam named Eztli.
Form Descriptions:
Homid form: Shadow is in her early 20's, she stands at about
6', with hazel-green eyes and long brown hair. She usually wears
her favorite black fuzzy shirt and black jeans, with low-cut
black boots. She also wears a pair of cat-shaped gold earrings.
She carries a small, barely noticeable dagger tucked into her
waistband, and will defend herself and her friends if provoked.
Sokto form: Shadow is more muscular, and stands about half a
foot taller in this form.. her ears are longer, more pointed.
Her limbs are longer and her incisors are almost fanglike. Her
clothes grow a bit to accomodate this new size. Her eyes grow
huge and her pupils slitted.. she looks very capable in this
form.
Crinos form: Shadow growls slightly as her bones snap and realign,
becoming a huge meld of human and black jaguar. She grows to
a height of 9 feet or so and grows in weight accordingly. Her
long, sharp claws and teeth make her a formidable opponent,
her muzzle is twisted into a snarl, and her ears are laid back
against her head.. she then glares at her opponent with piercing
yellow eyes.
Chatro form: Shadow begins to shift, her fur retains it's silky
black appearence, but she herself grows more massive, she's
5 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs about 500 pounds or so.
She has long saber teeth, her claws are much longer, and her
back humps between her shoulders. Her tail shortens to reflect
her new center of balance, and she invokes a primal fear in
some present.
Feline form: Shadow begins to change.. this form is sleek, black
velvet on the outside... Though this panther doesn't like violence,
she will use her long, sharp claws and very sharp teeth if provoked.
Hakarr: Shadow's hakarr is 5 feet long from tip to tip, made
of pure silver. The finely crafted weapon has leather handgrips
in the middle, and has 7 bladed barbs. (think *big* bat`leth
meets a blender..)
Scare form: Shadow calls the darkness from her own soul up into
her body, and four tentacles of shadow grow out of her back.
Her flesh becomes mottled with the very darkness itself, and
her eyes change to dark pools of midnight. She looks something
out of a nightmare, and her very presence strikes fear into
your heart.
Phoenix form: Shadow nearly seems to grin as a faint emerald-colored
glow envelops her entirely. This glow grows in intensity as
her fur bristles, then bursts into flames. Her fur burns with
a deep, irridescent green fire, the flames writhing and moving,
as her claws begin to take on the bright fiery appearance. Her
tail swishes back and forth, leaving a few seconds of glow in
the air behind it.
