Form shapeshifters

How a shifted appearance is kept separate from a character’s real biology, so a disguise can change what a character appears to be able to do without ever changing what their body actually produces or can conceive.

What shifting does

A shapeshifting character can wear a body that looks and behaves differently from their true self. Their appearance decides what they can offer and receive in a scene — a character presenting as male can act the part, and a character presenting as female can be approached that way. Their true body still quietly decides what actually happens underneath:

• A character who looks male but is really female won’t produce anything when reaching a climax as a male would.
• A character who looks female but is really male can still be approached as one, but nothing they receive that way can ever lead to a pregnancy — it simply passes through unnoticed.

This means a shapeshifter can wear a disguise convincingly during a scene without their body ever betraying — or fully committing to — the part they’re playing.

Building a disguise

Shapeshifters can pick up new forms by sampling certain fluids from other characters — a taste, a touch, or a stored sample — provided the source is a kind of character close enough to their own nature. Copying from a fluid also quietly carries a trace of that character’s lineage, which can matter later for family and parentage questions.

Things to keep in mind

• Fertility shown on a profile always reflects the true body, even while a disguise is worn.
• Devices that capture fluid samples will still run while worn, but won’t collect anything a shifted body can’t truly produce.
• A shifted character’s displayed parentage and lineage follow the disguise, not the true self — that part of the cover story is intentional.

Ability eligibility

Your species, form, and class affect which abilities you can use. Physical abilities such as Bite follow your active form, while Shift eligibility is checked against your base character. See Abilities for the current rules.

Compatible connected outfit profiles can switch along with your character or form.
