Description: This ability allows the user to transform into their ancestral animal form. This form is chosen upon first use of the ability by adding the name of the Beastkin tribe as a parameter to the ability.


The three beastkin tribes are as follows:


Taguel - Out of all the beastkin, the taguel are the closest to extinction at the hands of humans, and thus are the most removed from the domains of humans. They are incredibly distrustful, and make their warrens in dark, hidden places, especially in forests. They tend to be distant, even to the other members of their tribe. Taguel transform into bunny-like creatures larger than the average man. They gain increased dexterity and darkvision.


Wolfskin - The most open of the beastkin, wolfskin are amicable and curious by nature. They find beauty in the repulsive, such as human bones, bug corpses, rotten food and other supposed "refuse" which make collections of. A wolfskin tribe is much larger than either of the other beastkin's, and the bonds of trust are larger to match. They may be courteous to outsiders if they conduct themselves properly and do not prove themselves a threat, but they also hold a great thirst for blood that shows itself when the tribe is threatened. Wolfskin transform into large, bipedal wolf-like creatures, larger than any man, with increased strength, constitution and defense.


Kitsune - Though not the most isolated of the beastkin, the kitsune are certainly the most well-hidden due to their talents in illusion magic. Their fur is very valuable, and humans often skin them to sell it in black markets. They hide their groves and forests with great care, so concerned of outsiders that they kill any trespassers who see through their spells on sight. This caution is mostly reached in the older generations of kitsune; the younger ones are very whimsical, almost impish. The kitsune take pride in appearances, both mundane and magical; a handsome kitsune elder is typically also a master of the arcane. Kitsune transform into lean foxes, and it's said that older and more experienced kitsune can transform into foxes with nine tails. While in this form, they have increased wisdom, charisma and gain some magical abilities.


Typing QUIT will revert them to their normal form.
