Changes Checklist
Date: 2022-03-22 12:56 am (UTC)✓ Thick, pitch black hair with the texture of seaweed that grows at a faster rate than normal.
✓ Gray-tinted skin.
✓ Pointed ears resembling those of a horse. Both are pierced and covered in a thin layer of black fur.
✓ Fingernails and toenails that are thicker and black in color.
✓ A taller stature. Shoka has gained a few inches of height since completing her transformation.
✓ The ability to transform into a horse. Shoka's horse form closely resembles an Arabian filly with a black coat and white facial markings. These markings mirror the simplistic face of Mr. Mew, with two blocky, vertical streaks over her eyes and a "T" shape on the end of her snout. If touched by a human while in this form, the human will be unable to let go, enabling Shoka to drag them around easily.
✓ Sharpened senses, especially underwater. Shoka’s sight and hearing have greatly increased and function at nearly-normal levels underwater.
✓ The ability to breathe underwater.
✓ Skittishness. Much to her chagrin, Shoka is now easily startled by sudden noises or movements and may transition into horse form unwillingly when frightened.
✓ Hunger for human energy. This can only be sated by dragging a human underwater until they drown. If she goes too long without feeding, she will begin to lose her self-control.
OPTIONAL:
✓ An affinity for water.
✓ Sharp, needle-like teeth (in all forms).
✓ Hooves instead of feet (in regular form).
✓ The ability to take on an "in-between" form similar to a satyr in appearance. In this form, Shoka maintains the head and lower legs of her horse form and the bipedal posture of her regular form. Her limbs are elongated, giving her an eerie appearance.
✓ Two prehensile, seaweed-like tendrils coming from her back that can be used to entangle humans (in regular form). These are the same pitch black color as her hair.
✓ The ability to compel humans to come closer by making eye contact (in any form).
✓ Fourth God body mod: A tattoo of the kanji for the number four (四) on her right thigh. The strokes are blocky and glow in the same color as her nails (see Fourth God Boons).
✓ Sacrifice boon: Glowing fangs.

Date: 2022-03-22 12:58 am (UTC)Temporary Monster Change – MANTICORE (May 2022)
Date: 2022-04-30 12:35 am (UTC)✓ Black-furred, cat-like ears. Conveniently, the piercings she obtained as a kelpie have carried over in this form.
✓ Sharp fangs instead of teeth.
✓ Clawed hands and feet with white pads on the bottom.
✓ Black fur on her upper arms, shoulders, and back.
✓ Large, feathered swallow wings. The pinions at the tips of these wings are sharply pointed, shaped like those of Reaper wings.
✓ A forked scorpion-like tail with a venomous barb on each end. The tail is segmented and pure black in color.
✓ Increased speed and jumping ability.
✓ Sharpened senses.
✓ Weakness to cold.
✓ Hunger and hunting instinct.
OPTIONAL:
✓ Eyes that reflect light at night.
✓ Black fur covering much of her body, excluding her face and midsection.
✓ The ability to withstand poison at twice the rate of normal humans or monsters that don't have a poison immunity.
✓ The ability to transform into a black housecat.
✓ A deceptive nature. Manticores are keen on trickery and delight in spreading rumors, telling riddles, and learning the secrets of others.
✓ The ability to take on a more monstrous form during the fog. Shoka's Fog form resembles a traditional manticore of myth combined with some typical attributes of the Noise from her home world; she has the body of a feline and a humanoid face, with her wings, scorpion tail, and front legs being composed of glowing Noise patterns. She is much larger in this form, standing at a height of 8 feet at the shoulder.
Fourth God Boons

Deaths - 2
Date: 2022-10-06 03:41 pm (UTC)Temporary Monster Change – POOKA (December 2022)
Date: 2022-12-01 08:20 pm (UTC)(art by
MANDATORY:
✓ Rodent-like teeth.
✓ Large, rounded, mouse-like ears, complete with enhanced hearing. Conveniently, the piercings she obtained as a kelpie have also carried over in this form.
✓ Black fur on the back, shoulders, and arms.
✓ Clawed hands and feet. These are both incredibly sharp and very durable, capable of digging through solid rock.
✓ Stronger legs. Pookas are one of the faster monsters in Ryslig. They are also able to leap and jump up to six times their own height, be it straight into the air or across distances. The Pooka's kicking strength is also incredibly high, able to kick through stone walls.
✓ Increased senses. The Pooka may have a stronger sense of smell and the ability to track others via scent, or an increased range of vision and the ability to see in the ultraviolet spectrum, or both.
✓ A shorter stature. In this form, Shoka is 3'2'' tall.
✓ Pookas are skilled liars, and skirt away from responsibility. However, Pookas are bound to the oaths they make and are unable to break a promise.
✓ A burrowing instinct. Pookas feel safest when able to make a shelter underground.
✓ A need to feed on the blood or bone marrow of humans. This may require them to hunt their own live prey, or they may scavenge the kills of others.
OPTIONAL:
✓ The ability to transform into a mouse.
✓ Black eyes.
✓ Fur covering much of her body, in a pattern that mirrors that of her mouse travel form. Her fur is mostly black, but there are diamond-shaped white patches on her face and chest.
✓ Digitigrade legs.
✓ Pink nose and white whiskers.
✓ Pink mouse tail.
✓ Thrill-seeking nature. Pookas enjoy little more than going out at night to paint the town red, figuratively or literally. Their companions may find they have a hard time remembering everything that happened, but Pookas are always up for a wild ride.
✓ Vindictive nature. Pookas delight in the misfortune of others, and their favorite phrase is "I told you so" when calamity befalls those around them. They also do not take well to being turned down or slighted, no matter how small the reason, and will often lash out against those who reject them.
✓ Tracking ability. Pookas are able to "mark" up to ten objects or people, and can follow their trails from any location. These marks fade naturally after a week; if the Pooka tries marking an eleventh thing, one of the first ten will disappear. The more marks a Pooka has set, the harder it becomes for them to remember which mark is which. The sense the Pooka uses to track these marks — either by scent or by sight — depends on which of their senses has increased.
✓ Transformative abilities. Using their fae magic, a Pooka can change their face and build to mimic that of another character. They cannot gain physical limbs, but they will be able to project an illusion of extra limbs or wings. Pookas will need to put in work to perfect the illusion, resulting in ‘glitches’ for inexperienced monsters. Glitches can include clipping through surrounding scenery, creating two mismatched limbs, or sheering out like an overhead projector image — feel free to be creative with the errors! Pookas must retain their Pooka features during this transformation. A Pooka who keeps their ears hidden will be able to fool even their disguise’s closest friends. They may transform themselves once per day, and the transformation lasts for up to one hour.
✓ A need for social contact. Whether it's as trusted companions living together, hunting partners, or dragging strangers out with them for a night on the town, Pookas will go out of their way to be around others. They detest solitude.
Temporary Monster Change – MERPERSON (March 2023)
Date: 2023-02-28 01:33 am (UTC)✓ External gill stalks, much like those of an axolotl, on her head.
✓ Sleek fur, like a seal's, covering much of her body (excluding only her gills, spines, and tail). Its color is a light gray scattered with dark gray and black spots, resembling the skin of a leopard seal.
✓ Fins behind her ears and on her forearms.
✓ Webbing between her fingers. Her fingers are elongated in this form, giving her hands the skeletal structure of leopard seal flippers. Her fingers are also clawed.
✓ Out of water: Webbing between her toes. Much like her hands, her feet also resemble the clawed flippers of a seal.
✓ Reacting to water: In shallow water, her legs form a long, axolotl-like body (similar to this) with four legs (clawed and webbed, a combination between an axolotl foot and a seal flipper). Her tail resembles that of a false killer whale and is visible when she is in both her land and swimming forms.
✓ Movement on land in this form requires puddles of water at the very least. The deeper the water, the faster a mer can travel, but they are able to skim and slide across even a wet street. Obviously, squid mers will have a much easier time than mers with actual fish tails, but movement is technically possible in wet conditions.
✓ In order to change back from their aquatic form, they must be out of the water source that caused it for a few minutes. A mer caught in the rain may retreat indoors and return to their legs in the span of three minutes, for example.
✓ Sharpened senses, especially underwater. Their senses of hearing, sight, and smell will increase greatly and function the same underwater as on land.
✓ Resistance to water pressure. Merpeople can dive as deep as they like.
✓ A need for water. While merfolk can survive on land, they'll get thirsty quicker than normal and begin to weaken if they are out of water for more than a few days. Taking a short shower or a bath will satisfy this need and allow them to prolong their stay.
✓ A preference for colder weather. Mer are not as weak to fire and heat as certain other monsters, but as it evaporates their water supply faster, they begin to feel thirsty and uncomfortable a lot more quickly.
✓ A need to feed on human energy. The Merperson accomplishes this by holding a human underwater until they drown. If they go too long without feeding, they'll start to lose their self control.
OPTIONAL:
✓ A facial structure like that of a leopard seal, with a slight snout, seal-like nose, and large, fanged jaws (much like this).
✓ A dorsal fin on her back, only visible in her swimming form. It is pure black and slightly curved, like that of a false killer whale.
✓ Spines, like those of a pufferfish, on the sides of her face and tail. These usually relax flat across her skin, but flare out when she feels angered or threatened.
✓ A soothing singing voice that can charm humans, making them vulnerable to being lured.
✓ Venomous claws that can cause pain and paralysis in humans.
✓ An instinct to hoard any sort of gem or other shiny trinket underwater, and to act extremely aggressively towards thieves.
Temporary Monster Change – GARGOYLE (April 2023)
Date: 2023-04-02 06:00 pm (UTC)(art by
MANDATORY:
✓ Large, scaly wings capable of flight. These are teal, with a lighter-colored membrane. The undersides of her wings are decorated with a dark pattern in the shape of Reaper wings.
✓ Lizard-like claws in place of fingernails and toenails.
✓ Sharp fangs instead of teeth.
✓ Teal-colored scales on her upper arms, shoulders, and back.
✓ Scaly, talon-like feet capable of grasping.
✓ Excellent night vision and sharper eyesight. Gargoyles can make out small details, even from up in the air.
✓ Weakness to sunlight. Direct exposure will turn the Gargoyle into stone (or jade, or gold, or crystal - anything statues can be made of is fair game) until the sunlight no longer touches them, either because night has fallen or because they've been covered up. They are almost indestructible in statue form, but should try to avoid being in flight when the sun rises. Shoka's statue form is composed of black onyx, with red cat's eye garnet replacing her eyes.
✓ An affinity for fire magic. Despite their weakness to sunlight, Gargoyles can create fireballs in their hands to hurl at their enemies, and can make their own skin so hot it burns to touch. Because of this magic, they are also immune to fire.
✓ Hunger and hunting instinct. Gargoyles usually hunt by either directly attacking their prey or lifting them off the ground and dropping them from great heights. Hunting animals will satiate them for a short time, but the longer they go without hunting a human, the more they'll be compelled to do so until they start losing their self-control.
OPTIONAL:
✓ Two large, forward-facing horns on her head. They resemble the horns of a certain type of Noise.
✓ Teal-colored scales covering much of her body. Their color and pattern matches that of the iguana that belonged to her Reaper mentor, Ayano.
✓ Spines, like those of an iguana, along her lower back, the upper side of her tail, and under her chin.
✓ Yellow eyes with slit pupils.
✓ A forked tongue.
✓ Long, fin-like ears.
✓ A long, reptilian tail, resembling that of an iguana.
✓ The ability to breathe fire.
✓ The ability to influence the actions of humans by giving them commands while making eye contact.
✓ A proud nature. Gargoyles are both easily insulted and easily flattered.
✓ A hoarding instinct. Gargoyles can be very greedy and like to hold on to anything nice they've found, especially if it's shiny.
Temporary Monster Change – SLIME (June 2023)
Date: 2023-05-31 01:12 am (UTC)✓ Amorphous body. Slimes lack bones and other rigid structures through most—if not all—of their body, and can shape themselves as they see fit. Shoka's default, "relaxed" shape is humanoid from the waist up (she still has a torso, arms, and a head with large, round eyes), but legless and slug-like from the waist down, strongly resembling the dusky nembrotha. To further that resemblance, she also has two feathery, orange-colored rhinophores on her head and vaguely wing-shaped cerata on her back. Her hair has been translated into a flowing, veil-like mantle. (This concept was greatly inspired by this amazing design. Please look at it and understand.)
✓ Ability to shapeshift. Slimes can adjust the shape and perceived size of their form. They may remove limbs or give themselves new ones, compress or expand their fluid to change apparent size, or take on the shape of something else. Slimes cannot gain abilities this way — shapeshifted wings are incapable of flight, for example. Their overall mass does not change regardless of appearance, and so become weaker and less stable the bigger they get.
✓ A translucent body. Slime forms are semitransparent, so while you can see a person inside the Slime being digested, you wouldn't be able to see the person hiding behind them.
✓ Brightly colored slime, in any color. Shoka's slime is navy blue in color, with streaks of neon green and orange.
✓ High tolerance to physical harm. Since Slimes generally lack bones, muscles, and often skin, they are incredibly difficult to hurt through brute force.
✓ A nucleus. This serves as the "brain" or the "core" of the Slime and take any form as long as it fits the six restrictions. The nucleus can be located anywhere within their body, and can move from place to place within them. This part is much less resilient than the rest of the Slime, and if it is pierced or destroyed, the Slime will lose cohesion and die. The nucleus is between 2" and 6" inches in diameter, but cannot change size. Shoka's nucleus is a small plush cat that was won from the crane game at the local arcade, Insert Coin. It moves around quite a bit, but most often floats in the center of her chest.
✓ Slimes can regain lost or destroyed slime over the period of 1-3 weeks. During the fog, this time is reduced to 24 hours.
✓ "Puddle" form. Shapeshifting allows a Slime to become completely flat—including their nucleus—in order to slip under doors, through cracks, or into other small openings.
✓ The need to consume the fluids of humans. This can be blood, water, lymph, and/or other liquids found within the body. Slimes may do this by engulfing part or all of a human to drain them externally, or may choose to infiltrate the victim's body to drain them from the inside. In either case, the afflicted area of the victim will wither, dehydrate, and possibly turn necrotic, often leaving a dry husk in its wake.
OPTIONAL:
✓ Slower movement. The Slime's traveling speed is slower than that of all other monsters, and they may have difficulty navigating rough terrain, including stairs.
✓ A pair of rhinophores on her head and cerata on her back.
✓ Faulty memory. Slimes are scatterbrained and have trouble holding onto short-term information.
✓ Leaving a trail or residue as they move. This excess fluid is incredibly sticky and can immobilize humans and monsters. However, it can be washed away with water.
✓ The ability to change color based on mood or other factors. For instance, a Slime that is very cold might turn blue.
