HELLO 'v' Kira here!

BODY SWAP CANDYLAND will be running from September 29th @ 7pm GMT until October 9th @ 11pm GMT! Please sign up ASAP so that I can figure out swap & randomised table assignments. These will be finalised on Wednesday 28th.

You can play as many characters as you want, just make it as clear as possible so I don't goof up and swap you with yourself.

Full rules will go up on the day, but for now —

✦ Once you've received your bodyswap assignment, make a new journal and populate it with icons!
✦ Do not reveal who you're swapped with! This will form part of the win mechanics.
✦ Physical monster traits will remain with the body; the monsters themselves will move with their person.
✦ ALL powers and abilities will stay with the body. Screw the lore, the Warden has money.
✦ All items stay with the body.
✦ Characters cannot be injured! It just won't work! You can, however, commit as much property damage as you like.
✦ Characters will be free to leave the game area and mingle, but, due to the anonymous nature of the game, pop-up tents and sleeping bags will be provided.

Sign up by filling in the form below. The more information you can include, the better.

Player: Kitty
Are you signing up with another character?: Nikkou (Nymph), Wolf (Tsuchigumo)

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Horse
Team: Phoenix
What's it like to be your character?: Is a literal horse. But also kinda plump and wibbly wobbly. This is basically what you're dealing with.
Monster traits: Has a beak, talons on her front legs and tiny eagle wings.
Powers and abilities: Levitation, ability to create protective spheres around people and ability to literally jump into someone's backstory (which causes the person to be catatonic until Horse gets out again). Also has a talking tail. Go wild with that.
Opt-outs: Nah.

[freearcadia]

Player: Shini
Are you signing up with another character?: Nah

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Harlock
Team: Phoenix
What's it like to be your character?: Missing right eye - so decreased depth perception and occasional phantom pain around the area. He has scars all over his body and has lead a pretty hard and combat-heavy life so there's a lot of 'FIGHT' reflexes that will try to kick in if startled or threatened. Also a functional alcoholic with an insanely high tolerance - so have fun with that.
Monster traits: Large wings (the feather colors do reflect the soul), scales on his lower arms and neck, slight gill-like slits on the side of his neck near the collarbone, and bird-like talons.
Powers and abilities: No powers naturally, but he had cashed in to actually be able to fly with those wings. He is a trained fencer and brawler so there's some combat-related reflexes
Opt-outs: I really don't think people would do it, but don't fuck in his body.

[terribletwos]

Player: Kitty
Are you signing up with another character?: Horse (Phoenix), Wolf (Tsuchi)

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Nikkou
Team: Nymph
What's it like to be your character?: Ridiculously overpowered Keybrat who is really really had to keep down in a fight. Short. But otherwise feels mostly normal.
Monster traits: Black horn and white horns. Long lion-like tail with big fluff.
Powers and abilities: Can summon dual Keyblades and do elemental magic. Can move ridiculously fast using light steps. Can attack and guard with beams of light.
Opt-outs: NOBODY BUT THE SWAPPED BODY CAN USE THE KEYBLADE. Others can *hold* it, but they can't wield it. And after a moment, it will instantly return to the body. That's the big one. Oh yeah, NO SEX.

[fisherwoman]

Player: Eli
Are you signing up with another character?: Also Rupert on Kraken!

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Endorsi
Team: Basilisk
What's it like to be your character?: Apart from what's listed in powers and abilities, she's just very athletic in general! You feel like you could run a marathon at any given moment. Also, it's noted on her inmate profile, but just because it isn't very obvious in a lot of her icons - she has a horn on the right side of her forehead, right around her temple. She's 5'5" and has a very slim build.
Monster traits: Scales along her legs.
Powers and abilities: Super strength, speed, agility! Basically, very enhanced physical abilities.
Opt-outs: Nothing sexual, please!

[messianic]

Player: Cal
Are you signing up with another character?: probably n, but I will confirm ASAP if that changes.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Minato Arisato
Team: Cerberus
What's it like to be your character?: He's a healthy teenage boy! He likes his sleep and his body gets sleepy easily, but he's also in much better shape than he looks for how scrawny he is. Imagine a relatively well-kept, healthy and athletic 17 year old boy and you'll have it.

Minato also can come with a CW: suicidal imagery, so that's important to keep in mind. It's not necessary to be swapped with him, but using his powers involves pointing a gun shaped object to his head and pulling the trigger (but it's not a real gun and has no bullets). Just in case that's a hard no for anyone!
Monster traits: No physical traits, but since she's a ghost, she has the tendency to make his body go intangible and/or invisible when she's mad at him or feels like it.
Powers and abilities:

Personas: his head is pretty crowded. He has these twelve Personas (ie basically facets of his personality given spiritual form), and their chattiness is pretty much up to player choice
Arcana/Social Links: Persona is pretty well known for Social Links. The tl;dr on these is that every time Minato bonds with someone, he'll know a) their Major Arcana (in the sense of what their bond represents to him) and how strong their bond is on a scale of 1 to 10.

I know these can be A Lot so it's really up to player choice how much or how little to use them.

Any of the above Personas can be summoned to do all sorts of fun magic, so go full ham with that. A full list of their skills can be found if you just search them up on the megami tensei wiki because I'm lazy and haven't written them out.

Opt-outs: Nothing sexual pls, that's about it honestly. Go full ham otherwise!

[badsunrising]

Player: Kitty
Are you signing up with another character?: Horse (Phoenix), Nikkou (Nymph)

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Nikkolaus
Team: Tsuchigumo
What's it like to be your character?: Very strong and powerful. Also looks like he's never seen a brush in his life.
Monster traits: Adorable tiny demons horns and bird-sized demon wings.
Powers and abilities: Amulet can summon magical sword that harnesses REASONABLE power from the sun. Can focus on amulet to produce heat/light. Obviously can shapeshift into a giant wolf. YOU CANNOT TALK AS THE WOLF. It functions as a regular wolf.
Opt-outs: Don't damage the amulet. Please do not have sex in his body.

[alienation]

Player: Katy
Are you signing up with another character?: A2/Tsuchigumo

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Lotor
Team: Yatagarasu
What's it like to be your character?:

- YOU ARE AN ALIEN NOW. Purple skin, pointed ears, claws, like ?eight? sharp fangs. Yellow sclera with blue/purpley-y irises that narrow like a cat sometimes. Also, you're stronger than an average human.
- ALSO... CORRUPTED BY QUINTESSENCE. Lotor is ten thousand years old and was born like this, so it's probably not super noticeable most of the time, but you might notice that some of your worst traits are enhanced™ a tiny bit sometimes.
- For ten thousand years old, there's not a whole lot of aches and pains or anything like that.
- I cannot imagine this will come up but if it does, I am impressed. He can dislocate joints/arms and stuff...... like here where he does this horrible thing to get out of space handcuffs.
- Has a faint scar on his chest.

Monster traits:

- SOMETIMES he wakes up with partial gargoyle transformations like a granite tail or horns or something but they tend to fall off right away.
- Mostly his issue is that he can't be exposed to sunlight. I've been playing it as "if it's cloudy out, he can wear his armour and be fine for a couple of hours (when he suddenly will start petrifying) unless he were to be exposed to the sun, if it's sunny out he's a statue immediately" but also sometimes I just do whatever I want......... you know........

Powers and abilities:

- He's just pretty strong/sturdy. Stronger than a human but nothing like......... excessive.

Opt-outs: Nah

[preceding]

Player: Katy
Are you signing up with another character?: Lotor/Yatagarasu

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: A2
Team: Tsuchigumo
What's it like to be your character?:

- An android.
- Looks like this but w/ short hair notably, the only clothing she's wearing her is around her stomach. The rest of it is her body. Some parts of her have synthetic humanoid skin, a lot of it has been worn away. There's a lot of plates and seams visible on her body and sometimes dirt and rust LOL...
- YOU PROBABLY FEEL AWFUL IN THIS BODY TBH... like there's parts missing and others that have been replaced with stuff they should not be, etc.
- You have eyesight sorta similar to a human, since she's an attacker type without a visor, but sometimes it glitches a little.
- You can feel pain. You can bleed, though it's not real blood. You have emotions. You can eat human food! However...
- Mackerel is lethal.
- She has implanted memories of a few people that KIND OF stick with her body but that is getting into Nier spoilers so if this is something you want to play with, you can message me!
- She's 5'6" including her heels and is a lot heavier than she looks because. Android metal body.

Monster traits:

She's infected by a virus that hasn't manifested yet! At most, if you get super emotional in this body, your vision will get extremely glitchy (cool red eyes) and you might pass out for awhile.

Powers and abilities:

- VERY STRONG.
- VERY FAST.
- I do not know if it will even be a thing but she has a mechanic built into her called B-Mode where she can boost her physical strength in exchange for her HP rapidly dropping, as a berserker does......... at the very least, you can know that it's a thing that exists.

Opt-outs: Nah

[marmoris]

Player: bayleaf
Are you signing up with another character?: Nope!

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Childe
Team: Nymph
What's it like to be your character?: Extremely fit and energetic! Childe is a lethal warrior who is constantly training, so he is in peak physical condition. He also has a hell of a lot of scars on his body! Given how fit he is, he has quite an appetite, too. Gotta replace those calories!! His other senses, like sight, sound and smell, are sharp, but nothing superhuman.
Monster traits: A cute fluffy scruff around the neck and tall, bunny-like ears on the head! Here's his monster for reference, though the scruff isn't quite as intense.
Powers and abilities: Childe's abilities come in three flavors. If you want a better, more in-depth idea of how they all look and function, check out his boss battle!

Hydro Vision: elemental power that grants Childe control over water. His has numerous applications, but he primarily uses his for combat, wielding weapons make out of pure Hydro energy, such as lances and swords. He can also summon a narwhal made of water. It's really fucking huge!

Electro Delusion: the same as the above, except with control over lightning and electricity. This power is more volatile both due to the nature of its element and the fact that Childe's Delusion is a manmade imitation of god-given power. It also comes with a cool outfit upgrade! For reasons.

Foul Legacy Transformation - for his final form, he turns into a bionicle. This form is extremely powerful, giving Childe the use of both his Hydro Vision and Electro Delusion. He can teleport, fly, use a whole barrage of Elemental abilities that can be seen in the video above. The drawback to this form is that it is extremely physically taxing and using it can leave Childe physically weak for weeks after using it, and he's already recovering from using it in the Inner Prison. So if it gets used, it will most likely be a short stint.

Opt-outs: Feel free to go ham with the Foul Legacy Transformation if you want to play with that! I just ask that you keep it short so Childe's body isn't totally wrecked by the time he gets back into it. He already does that to himself enough. Also no NSFW, please! Kissing is fine but nothing more than that.

[featherbeaned]

Player: Kira
Are you signing up with another character?: Shiro (Echidna)

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Unisonya
Team: Cerberus
What's it like to be your character?:
INFO POST
✫ You have the option to start in her dragon form (BIG) or her human form (6' & shredded)! IMPORTANT NOTE: both can purr.
✫ Her human form has sharp canines; nails that sharpen to claws if angry or startled; pointed, elf-like ears; fluffy, expressive ear-like tufts on top of her head.
✫ Her dragon form's ears and tail are extremely expressive! Good luck trying to stop them. The tail has sharp, retractable spikes at the end.
✫ No aches, pains, or scars. She's in peak physical condition, and very sturdy.
✫ Lots of energy. Lots and lots of energy. You might get the zoomies. But also, naps are A Talent.
✫ She runs warm. Like, really, really warm, and is impervious to changes in temperature in either direction.
✫ She's a black hole for food.
✫ Sooooo bendy. So flexible. Dragons, much like cats, are a liquid.
✫ Somewhere in the background, there's some slight, niggling feeling that something isn't quite right. Is something missing? Mystery.

Monster traits: Her fangs get even longer and sharper when she smells blood.

Powers and abilities:
✫ Immensely physically strong. Like. Horrendously strong. You could very easily damage or destroy things without meaning to. Her speed is superhuman, also, as is her endurance and her reflexes.
✫ Shapeshifting between her dragon and human female form (but no others); changing her size; a powerful, ethereal singing voice that can (with intention) act as a buff or debuff for anyone who can hear; vocal mimicry; layering your voice so you can sing or say multiple things at once; healing saliva.
✫ Flight, in her dragon form! There is muscle memory, of course, but it isn't necessarily intuitive if you're not used to having all these extra limbs.
✫ Have you ever wondered what it might be like, to feel the music of the universe? Time, space, matter, the elements, life and death — they all have their own songs. They flow against you, around you, through you like an aurora, subtle on the surface but all too easy to get lost in if you dive too deep. Also you can hear people's theme music.
✫ Her physical senses are superhumanly acute. She can pick up even the tiniest of noises, in both higher and lower frequencies than a human ever could. She can see in the dark! She can see more colours. It's a lot of sensory information to process, so if you're not used to it you may find yourself getting a headache.
✫ Immune to telepathy.
✫ Element manipulation (water, air, fire, and earth) including creating them. Earth encompasses controlling plants and encouraging their growth as well as, like, rocks. Tapping into this magic isn't super easy, because it involves vibing with the music of the universe/those particular elements and being in tune with yourself and your feelings. However, there's a constant lowkey sense that something is ... missing? Not as it should be? When actively using elemental magic, it magnifies into what feels like the soul equivalent of a toothache.
✫ If you run into Kit('s body), you may sense a connection, like something that's on the tip of your tongue.
Opt-outs: Don't smoke in her body. Otherwise, go wild!

[unfinishedsymphony]

Player: Tristan
Are you signing up with another character?: No.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Wilbur Soot
Team: Yatagarasu
What's it like to be your character?: Extremely bad lungs as a consequence of 13 and a half years chain-smoking while dead. He's been mostly unable to smoke in reverie so the cravings have faded; he's gotten over the hump. Resurrected, but still has the scars from his last death which are a pair of stab wounds on his chest. Tall and twiggy. Good alcohol tolerance. Weaker than average but good reflexes. Slightly near-sighted, but instead of wearing glasses that actually do anything for his vision he instead wears cheap plastic sunglasses with red lenses. Catches fire in direct sunlight, unless he's standing in water.

Monster traits: What physical traits does your character's monster have? Sharp teeth, desaturated, semi-transparent skin that you can see glowing blue bones through on his abdomen, legs, and arms.
Powers and abilities: He's a minecraft character, so he can access his inventory. If you have played Minecraft, also note he's in "adventure mode" so he can't do things like break wood or stone by hitting them with his fists or construct things in reverie, as he has no building permissions.

He's purchased a power which lets him phase through things, as well.
Opt-outs: If your character has sex in his body, please fade to black. Please do not destroy things from his inventory, though you can have your character use his guitar or read his papers. Snowballs are the exception. Feel free to use up the snowballs

[parttimeai]

Player: Kira
Are you signing up with another character?: Unisonya (Cerberus)

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Shiro
Team: Echidna
What's it like to be your character?:

✫ She's a cyber girl/AI who lives in a smartphone, which is itself mounted onto a device very much like a roomba. Her phone is super fancy and can project a hologram of her avatar. The projection is in colour and high definition, but is usually somewhat see-through. The avatar is fixed into Shiro's likeness; this cannot be changed. What you can change is her size! It ranges from tiny to 4'10.
✫ It can project a "hard-light"/solid hologram capable of physically interacting with things, but: it tanks the batteries, overheats the hardware, and is super duper prone to glitching. It can last anywhere between seconds and a couple of minutes.
✫ You have zero sensation. No touch, taste, smell, pain, temperature etc. At all. Ever. You don't breathe or have a heartbeat. You're essentially a ghost!
✫ You don't get tired. You can't sleep.
✫ You can navigate through digital spaces and interact with things (though, again, there's no tactile sensation)! The phone has a bunch of games and music on it, but no identifying information whatsoever.
✫ Neither device will lose battery life while you're in there.

Monster traits: There's a Clippy icon on her her home screen, and on whatever her avatar is wearing.

Powers and abilities:
✫ The Roomba can be electrified, and can deliver a taser-like shock to anyone who is touching it.
✫ You can move freely between electronic devices, as long as it's got some kind of connectivity (and you have player permission)!
✫ IF you can figure it out (which is a big if, because it isn't intuitive or easy, nor can it be done by accident) - you can possess others! For a few seconds up to a couple of minutes, you could, with player permission, grab control of another character's limb(s) or even their entire body. But anything beyond that (sharing any kind of sense; thoughts; keeping control for longer than a very brief periods of time) works on Drift Compatability (or Fusion tbh, though nobody's physical form will change) Mechanics - the more in-tune and open you are with each other, the easier and more stable it all is.
✫ Possessing somebody without strong drift compatability feels horribly existentially disquieting! It is Unpleasant.
Opt-outs: GO WILD. BE FREE.

[vecna]

Player: Jen
Are you signing up with another character?: Dream (Basilisk)

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Henry Creel
Team: Tsuchigumo
What's it like to be your character?:

Physically, Henry is a relatively normal human — if tall, standing at about 6 feet.

He has no aches and pains by default, though he is more prone to lightheadedness and nosebleeds (left nostril!) in Reverie after using his abilities for an extended period of time.

He has a small, black tattoo of the number “001” on his inner left wrist.

In his body, you may get the strangely surreal feeling that there are other?? Memories?? Experiences?? Somehow tied up in your mind. How is that possible? Well, it’s probably fine — and easily ignored.

Monster traits: His left eye is red, and his skin is sometimes cold to the touch. Instances of further “transformation” (at the player’s discretion) leave him looking far more undead and “lichy” looking.

Powers and abilities:

Psionic/telekinetic abilities — Henry can manipulate objects with his mind, even fairly large objects (though he will be more prone to wearing himself out in Reverie with greater effort). Can also straight-up psionic blast objects and people away.

Telepathy — He can reach into someone’s mind and rifle through a person’s memories or pry into their thoughts. He can also “traverse” someone’s mindscape or bring them into his own. On a basic level, he can project his own thoughts into someone else’s mind, too.

Hallucination Inducement — What it says on the tin. Can make people see things that aren’t there!

Psionic resistance — Generally has a very high resistance against others who try to pull mind shenanigans against him. You’ll have to throw psychic hands with him for it to work.

Opt-outs: As long as it doesn’t go into NSFW territory, go wild.

[heartlands]

Player: Eli
Are you signing up with another character?: Endorsi on Basilisk!

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Rupert
Team: Kraken
What's it like to be your character?: Everything is pretty normal for a teenage boy! He's fairly energetic and quick, but his strength stat is Low. Sorry about his noodle arms. He's about 5'6" and doesn't have any noticeable scars or anything else that would be out of the ordinary.
Monster traits: Small fangs, and red dragon wings small enough to fit under his clothing.
Powers and abilities: None! Just a normal human.
Opt-outs: Nothing NSFW, please!

[markofkaine]

Player: Toni
Are you signing up with another character?: just one!

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Kaine Parker
Team: Tsuchigumo
What's it like to be your character?: Half of his entire body is covered with sores, burns, scars and cracked skin, so there is just this constant level of chronic pain. His life is never a 0 on the pain scale if he doesn't get daily healing to numb it.
Also he has stitches from all his different deaths that hold together wounds that don't bleed or hurt, but will never heal. They number as:
- ripped out throat
- disembowelment
- around his left wrist (hand will just fall off if the stitches are taken out)
- impalement through the heart
also he can't hold his liquor for shit. drunk after one beer, blacking out after three.
Monster traits: If he starts freaking out, doppelganger powers activate and he transforms to look like the closest person to him.
Powers and abilities: Oh boy
- superhuman strength. canonically he is able to benchpress 60 tons. thanks marvel, for being so specific. has to constantly hold back from breaking things (and people)
- superhuman reflexes and agility. technically faster than spider-man, BUT has no spider-sense to warn of early danger
- organic web shooters
- wall crawling. the level of stickiness is high enough that he can pull down a wall just by sticking his hand to it. technically, any part of his body can stick
- bone stingers. think wolverine, but one bone that comes out from the same place as the web shooting
- able to talk to and command spiders telepathically
- able to transform into a giant berserk spider monster that is insatiable for prey...
- also he's probably wearing his spider suit, which has the ability to go invisible and cloak all sound.
Opt-outs: come at me bro

[doeswhateveraspidercan]

i know you mentioned half of his body is covered in various kinds of wounds, but is it concentrated in any particular area? i'm mostly checking if there's any particular area on his body free of injury.

[trick_play]

Player: Tori
Are you signing up with another character?: NOPE

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Ace Trappola
Team: Basilisk
What's it like to be your character?: He is a young healthy teenage human boy. He's an athlete!
Monster traits: Your head comes off your body really easily (like you can pull it off with normal arm strength). If this happens you die.
Powers and abilities: He can do magic but if you do too much magic you might accumulate too much Overblot and hulk out in an oozing horrible monster form.
Opt-outs: Nothing NSFW in it!

[dreamlord]

Player: Jen
Are you signing up with another character?: Henry Creel (Tsuchigumo)

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Dream
Team: Basilisk
What's it like to be your character?:

Dream is a very, very old entity. Like literally billions of years old.

His “human” form has nothing particularly notable in terms of build. No scars, no injuries, no lingering pains.

Pale, slim frame. Always wearing black. Do you wanna be a goth boy? You are now.

His eyes sometimes shine with starlight!

Monster traits: A prehensile, ox-like tail, and clawed fingertips.

Powers and abilities:

The anthropomorphic personification of dreams/stories, Dream can induce sleep in others with his sand, visit their dreams, manipulate said dreams, and generally control them.

If it exists in a dream, he can create it in reality. This power is subject to the usual item creation nerfs in Reverie.

Stronger and more invulnerable than the typical human.

Shapeshifting!

Teleportation!

Some very low-key telekinesis?

Able to inspire people with ideas just as easily as he can curse someone with endless nightmares.

Opt-outs: Nothing NSFW please, but anything else is fair game!

[spacetogrow]

Player: Stareyes
Are you signing up with another character?: Nope

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Ilphyl
Team: Nymph
What's it like to be your character?: Ilphyl has the body of a male dark elf. They have a grey tattoo of elvish script barely visible on their left arm. Ilphyl is in good physical shape -- their reflexes and balance are top-notch, and they are slightly above average when it comes to strength and endurance.

Ilphyl has sharper senses than most humans. They also have both darkvision and sunlight sensitivity. What that means is that in anything less than full darkness, they can see perfectly fine, including with color vision. In total darkness, they see in dim greyscale -- think like how a human sees under moonlight. Conversely, in direct sunlight, the world is almost painfully bright. Ilphyl does have a magic item to compensate which is on their person at all times, but a pair of sunglasses also works. (Magical darkness can still block Ilphyl's vision, but they know it is magical by virtue of 'I can't see into that.)
Monster traits: Ilphyl's dryad gives them a tendency to 'tan' green, and leaves and flowers in their hair.
Powers and abilities: Okay, time to run down the list.
* See the note above about senses -- sharper senses in general, amazing night vision, and direct sunlight is too much light.
* Elves have resistance to magic designed to enchant (charm spells) and cannot magically be put to sleep, barring Warden interference.
* Elves don't need sleep, but they do need to enter a meditative state (trance) for four hours to rest; chances are, you will need to sleep instead (but if your character can meditate, or has an elf on their team who can talk them through it, feel free to try this).
* The tattoo on Ilphyl's arm is enchanted to work like armor, even when Ilphyl isn't wearing any. In D&D terms, it functions like medium armor (so, a chain shirt or a breastplate).
* Wild shape is a druid ability, and the one Ilphyl has focused on. They can turn into any animal they've seen barring a few very large and dangerous predators. They take on the physical traits of that animal. This does include either mundane animals or giant variants, not animals with obvious special powers. Basically, if you could imagine it in an action or horror movie that doesn't have openly supernatural elements, it's fine.
* Spells! Ilphyl has magic, both some spells learned as a youngster relying on innate magic and as a druid. D&D spell casting is a whole thing, so I'll link Ilphyl's usual spell list and notes on it. Since D&D spellcasting is a thing, feel free to handwave it if you don't want to look up the rules. Important: Ilphyl can't cast spells while in wild-shape (as they need to be able to speak and one hand free to gesture), but they can continue to concentrate on sustaining a spell.
Opt-outs: Standard keep things PG warning.

Player: Jay
Are you signing up with another character?: None!

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Sprezzatura Vaux
Team: Basilisk
What's it like to be your character?: Sprezzatura is a relatively healthy woman in her 30s!
- Fairly dexterous, and QUITE strong for her size, which is 5'2, discounting horn height.
- Has a prehensile tail; tall, sharp horns; sharp teeth; clawed fingertips.
- Absolutely no scarring, but the thumbnail on her right hand is permanently warped and has a divot in it, as she bites it when stressed.
- Good alcohol tolerance.
Monster traits: Small tusks where her bottom canines should be, a MUCH longer tongue (as in, if she stuck it out all the way it would probably touch her collarbones, and also it's purple), more muscle definition, and sometimes auxiliary eyes might open on her chest and abdomen.
Powers and abilities:
- Has the oni ability to completely shapeshift into someone else, generally of the opposite gender, for the purposes of presenting as a handsome man so she (the oni) can trick mortals.
- Also has the oni ability to conjure and throw lightning around in large, cataclysmic qualities. However, she is not IMMUNE to said lightning.
- She has Darkvision out to 60 feet, meaning in "dim" light (dusk, poorly-lit room) she can see as if in "bright" light (full sun, midday), and in total darkness, she can see as if in "dim" light—though only in shades of grey! Beyond 60 feet, darkness is just darkness.
- If it should come up for... WHATEVER REASON... Sprezzatura is resistant to fire and fire damage, meaning it doesn't hurt her half so bad as it would anyone else, and she also runs warmer than a human (which has no adverse effect).
- At will, can cast the Mage Hand cantrip. Can cast Tenser's Floating Disk once per short rest, and Arcane Lock once per long rest.
- She has an extensive spellbook, which I've laid out roughly here. She can prepare a total of 9 non-cantrip spells to pick from each day. Since this requires the ability to read her spellbook, which is entirely in shorthand, notation, Infernal, and ciphers, and I am not sure the ability to do this transfers as it's not technically a "power", please consider the spells highlighted in green to be the spells she has prepared for that day, and thus the ones open to your character to cast.
- Can conjure a tiny quill to write with; the ink can be whatever colour you want, and you can erase text you've written with it by waving the quill over it.
Opt-outs: None!

What's it like to be your character?: Kit is an ordinary human boy. He is missing his right arm, cut off at the bicep. There is a metal port grafted onto it with an advanced detatchable robotic prosthetic, and some scarring around the area that still aches sometimes. He has a bunch of other scars dotted around his body that do look like they should come from a warrior, but he's not actually that physically strong and nothing about his build indicates a fighter.

New note he's also currently EXHAUSTED and his hand is achy and will be cramping from performing surgery for 24 hours oops.

Monster traits: Fluffy iridescent blue/pink/yellow wings and tail, feathy dragon ears, lil horns, claws and sharp teeth, like this! Also prettier singing voice, smells like toasted s'mores and mocha.
Mental traits are increased aggression when threatened, resource guarding, increased desire to sing, can sometimes commune with the dragon.

Powers and abilities: Kit has a fancy magic ring that is connected to Miya on Cerberus and acts as a kind of soulbond contract to channel her powers. Kit himself may not be innately magical, but through his contract, he has the power to transform into a magical knight boy with different colours depending on what element he's channeling. He can also summon a sword, a fancy magic shield, give stat boosts to himself and others, and generate a whole lot of fire power. This is NOT natural or easy for him, and would be difficult to activate without knowing it's there. It is NOT easily discoverable or activated. It is a phsyical manifestation of his bond and trust with Miya and if your character at any point tries to close themselves off to their emotions or refuses connection with others the powers become even more difficult to access.

However IF your character is super magical, spiritutual, and has an incredible understanding of FRIENDSHIP and manages to key into it, here's a breakdown of the powers:

Fire — Hair grows just past shoulder length to curls and turns iridescent red, outfit is red. You gain a fancy fire wand that can grow into a large staff if you wanna smack some people. It can create and shape fire.

Air — Hair grows long and wavy and turns iridescent silver, outfit is a pale shimmery gold. You gain a fancy sword that has AIR SLICES. Air can be used to blow things around but requires delicate precision for any actual control. This includes making yourself fly, if you don't do it carefully you're just gonna throw yourself into the ceiling.

Earth — Hair stays short but gets wavy and turns iridescent green, outfit is green. You gain a fancy shield and the power to grow fancy vines and plants, and create small localised earthquakes.

Water — Hair grows into a long loose braid and turns iridescent blue, outfit is blue. This is the hardest element for Kit to control, because the item is one you have to form yourself. There's no conduit to channel the element through, it relies on magical talent to shape and control water into something you can use. Often he makes a blobby kind of water whip with it that has poor control and just tends to splash around a lot, but if your character is a talented magical user you can make any kind of water weapon your heart desires! This is also the element that creates the stat boost potions, you can imbue any kind of buff you want on water for yourself or someone else to drink.

Opt-outs: Go nuts

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Selena Evan
Team: Cerberus
What's it like to be your character?: Selena is an extremely fit, if extremely small knight. Very tiny but super strong and agile!! Excellent reflexes, peak physical condition, can jump hella high. They have some scarring, but less than you'd expect from a warrior because they're so good at dodging.

Monster traits: Fluffy red wolf ears and a tail, slitted pupils, sharp fangs and claws
For mental changes they have pack instinct, increased desire for rare meat, and increased libido.

Powers and abilities: Selena has some kind of connection to god, which canon keeps EXTREMELY VAGUE and tells me NOTHING OF. All I know is that they are holy in some way, and has extremely high resistance to mind control/brainwashing. They also have a fancy magic sword that has ice powers and enhances strength, and earrings that increase defence.
Opt-outs: Nah go for it

there are inscryption act2 spoilers here but. they are unavoidable. it's, the whole thing

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Stoat
Team: Phoenix
What's it like to be your character?:

• It is in fact secretly a robot. BUT not completely, due to monster possession. You will be a robotic core trapped in an organic frame. You have organs and blood, but also a harddrive.


• Externally you are a normal stoat, roughly one foot/30cm long. You can talk normally, but your body otherwise is hard to manipulate (no opposable thumbs, etc.)! Everything is a little bit easier than it would be for a real stoat, but still not as easy as it is for a human.


• BUT to make up for that, it has a drone that can fly and has a claw-arm attachment. This is a "prosthetic" of sorts that lets it pick things up and hold things, open doors, etc. The Stoat also fits on it and can ride on top of it to fly around. The specs of the drone are largely "don't worry about it too hard" so just assume it works and makes sense and don't get hung up on physics lol


• The drone is controlled with your "mind"/wireless communication. Moving the drone is as easy as moving your own limb.


• You can access any other technology in the same way, through wireless communication, as long as that technology has the capability for that. You need password access to get into people's phones, but if you get that access, go wild hacking people's shit (WITH OOC PERMISSION) (friendly reminder not to give Stoat your passwords)


• All files within its body are password-protected and you can't rifle through its memories. It records the world with photographic memory though, so for all the experiences that happen while your character is in the body, you can recall with perfect detail what happened, as long as you are still in the body to access the files. It will take some loading time though. (For harddrive space reasons, these files are regularly deleted and Stoat will not remember anything your character does unless you want it to. Fear not)


• Its phone is also... inside of its tech core. You can look things up on the phone but it is done by staying still and navigating mentally. You are looking at the phone inside of your mind. You are texting with your mind. Etc.

Monster traits: You are stuck in the stoat form and can't shapeshift because the monster itself is going with the real Stoat. You will have glowing red eyes.
Powers and abilities: OTHER than tech manipulation described above, it also has a deck management system which is an inventory only for cards. You can mentally navigate to the inventory and select cards, and they will magically appear out of thin air in front of you. Stick a paw on a card and mentally send it back to the inventory for it to go away. There is a 20-card Inscryption starter deck, its Doki Doki Bingo card, and an empty set of the memory tarot cards in there. I forgot if there's anything else in there. If you need details on any of these lmk. Anything that is "a card" can go in the inventory.
Opt-outs: As said above, you cannot mess with any of its existing files. No editing or deleting anything there, no unzipping any of its memories, none of that. You will be able to tell that that information is backed up there, and that if you had admin privileges, you would be able to access files about its history and personality. But you don't have admin privileges.

You can take things in and out of the card inventory while in the body, but do not steal or destroy any of the cards.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Leo
Team: Tsuchigumo
What's it like to be your character?: A perfectly healthy fourteen year old boy. No aches, no pains, and in top physical health for a mundane fourteen year old. There is also a disturbing amount of scars, like worrying on a fully grown secret agent, let alone a kid, so have fun with that.

He also has a rusty ice pick and knife from the torture room from the prison hidden on his person. He also carries medical supplies, including a vial of Unisonya's saliva.

Monster traits: Red wings coming from his back. Talon like toenails. The scaly like skin birds have on the back of his hands and his feet. A throat made for bird sounds.

Powers and abilities: The muscle memory of an extremely well trained shady secret agent. Used to doing parkour and fighting, though the body strangely fights like it has more strength then he really does? How strange!

Immune to age alteration/time magic (in case that comes up) and is a reviving immortal type, except you know bodies disappear when they're not looked at and he needs a few hours to come back. He retains injuries like any other person would.

Opt-outs: I'm easy, have fun. He may be judgy though.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Chloe Bourgeois
Team: Nymph
What's it like to be your character?: A perfectly healthy fourteen year old girl. Soft hands, soft skin, great hair, obviously used to the lap of luxury. Extremely flexible, but pretty average as Herself.

She always has a Bee comb on her person, either in a pocket, or in her hair. She also always carries honey packets. Also this little cutie is usually on her person, either in a pocket or hiding in her hair.

Monster traits: Four bee wings coming from her back, bee antenna from her head, black strips along her arms and legs. Honey is the best thing ever and math is in relation to distance is easier??? Also the ability to BUZZ.

Powers and abilities: Chloe as herself has eight years of ballet/dance lessons under her belt, so there is some strength for an average fourteen year old girl, but she is literally a damsel in distress as herself.

The bee comb is her Miraculous. The Miraculous is connected to the little cutie, because this is magical girl rules. Now the caveat with Chloe's powers is that they need to be deliberately invoked with a certain phrase! Pollen, however, is not going to be inclined to share this information to a stranger without good reason. (I will tag your character with Pollen.) If Chloe's body seems in danger, she would share it, but otherwise she is going to not do so.

It is possible to force Pollen to share information, but it takes using Pollen's name and giving a Command while in possession of the comb, but also information Pollen is not going to share.

However, Pollen will otherwise be exceedingly polite and just want to make sure Chloe's body is treated with care.

Should Pollen be forced or convinced, there is the option for Magical Girl Power!

You get the cool Queen Bee outfit, or your own version of a Queen Bee outfit since the costume forms based on the personality and desires of the person. The only requirement is its bee themed. The outfit is magical armor that is immune to mundane damage, though impact damage can still get through to the body. The transformation comes with super strength, super endurance, super agility, super jumping, and fast enough to do a wall run.

There is the super power of Venom, which is an ultimate paralysis move that is basically pausing a video, but on a person, or thing. However, using it causes a five minute timer to start on the transformation. The transformation is indefinite if the power is not used and must be dismissed with another password. Activating Venom also requires a password.

Opt-outs: Do not get rid of her Miraculous or cut her hair, she will bring death to anyone who messes up her hair. Go wild otherwise.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Moon
Team: Cerberus
What's it like to be your character?:
- 7' feet tall. Healthy, strong. Has to duck under every doorway.
- Really slow heartbeat but that's normal for sea dragons.
- Has 6 arms and a prehensile tail. He has a lot of practice coordinating them, but without the right focus the extra limbs are grabby and impulsive.
- His body feels like a live body for all intents and purposes, but it's a construct imagined into reality by Moon's true body's sleeping mind and only extant by his will. He won't wake up while you're in it, but wouldn't that suck?
- He's wearing two necklaces, a seal pelt, and a silk jacket tied shut with a waistband in a fancy knot.
- He has to drink saltwater. He can drink freshwater, but it's like a treat. For a healthy long-term diet, he needs SALT.

Monster traits:
- Makes seal noises sometimes, especially honks when surprised
- Very comfortable in cold weather/snow/water
- The seal pelt is important. You cannot lose the pelt. Protect your pelt. You must you must you must you must you must you must
- The seal pelt is warm like a living thing.

Powers and abilities:
- 6 arms, lots of claws, can scuttle up walls or across ceilings like a spider.
- He can hold his breath long enough to sleep comfortably underwater.
- His extra six eyes can perceive the full electromagnetic spectrum, including UV, IR, and certain radio waves. But it's easy to "close" those eyes and only pay attention to the visible band. Go watch the microwave for a really weird time.
- Has a constant sense of where the ocean is. The tides are attracted to him.
- Senses gravity as a tangible thing. There's enough instinct left behind for the bodyswap to float in zero-G, 'swim' through the air, or invert his gravity to walk on the ceiling.
- Deep injuries bleed seawater instead of blood and scratches heal over with a salt crust instead of scabbing.
- Full dragon<->human transformation is not accessible. But his neck armor and the extra arms can be withdrawn, and with effort the extra arms can also be turned into scythes.
- Swaddling up in the seal pelt with the intent to transform will turn you into a leopard seal. NOTHING HAPPENS, nevermind, he hasn't paid for that power yet.

Opt-outs:
- NSFW stuff in his body is ok if he's already in that kind of relationship with your character, he won't mind
- Don't actually injure the seal pelt or lose his jewelry
