Triptych Shapeshifting, as below; note that forms and spirits add innate +2* to Clusters and Skills involving any of the shapes or shifting itself Natural Linguist, understands any Earth type human tongue with the basics on hearing any, but also can learn and understand non-human, furry languages of any kind including aquatic or insectoid with exposure to them. Language Cluster +3* and +2 to any other related Skill |
| Clusters 15 |
*Languages +5 Because of his high intelligence he's apt to understand first, realize it's not his native tongue later. He cannot necessarily speak in any language without training, but with practice and a tutor he can become conversational with crickets or hum with the hummingbirds, or even just chat in Chinese in a fraction of the time it would normally take. He has to work at a more normal pace on reading and writing, but can understand almost instantly and speak within a month rather than years *Shapeshift +5 Extremely fast shifting means he is hardly ever seen as anything other than a blur. He knows how to put on bird talons on the end of his already dangerous kangaroo feet, and can actually put gnawing buck teeth into that hawk's beak of his. Loves mixing and matching! He does shift while he's asleep, which has led to some interesting burrowing or nesting issues |
| Skills 12 |
*Navigational Mastery +4 When you can dig, fly, jump, or stride and climb anywhere you like, it's a good idea to know where you're going. He can assess locations for their traversal points, and is exactly the kind of person you want as your flight instructor, as he knows how to avoid hitting things and predicts where that helicopter or drone might get in the way *Integrate Language Skills Into Anything +3 Yes he knows how to swear in sixteen languages, but he also knows how to not get caught cursing... He knows who's speaking what, with a twitch of those long ears. He doesn't just pepper his speech with colorful sayings in Peruvian or Aborigine, he can place technical terms as well as absolute technobabble into papers too Science Nerd +3 Not just the normal nerdy pursuits of science fiction or hard chemistry, Jaxon wants to know why things work the way they do, and how to affect them or how to avoid being affected when things are bad. He has it in his head to create a portable safe energy source that doesn't need recharging, so, you know, a little sun. In a softball sized pack. He's just about done it, but needs the peer reviews to get it actually into production |
| Knacks 3 |
Always Looking Around +3/-3 Due to being both predator and prey, and having the testosterone driving 'roo thrown in for good measure, Jaxon is usually keeping his orange-colored eyes on anything else that moves. While this keeps him attentive and able to jump away or recognize a change on a chalkboard (he doesn't let his brain drift, this is just his body after all) it also means he's rather difficult to stand around talking with, and if his eye spots something 'dangerous' he will vanish either into the air or the ground, and heaven forbid he feel actively threatened or territorial... Never Out Of Breath +3 Maybe he has really good lungs, maybe he's just using more of his innate shifting to get away with it, but he can sprint in human form or have a two hour flight and will come to the end of it like he just strolled up. Beings or sensors that detect heart and lung activity will note that the only time either of them speed up are when he's actively angry or defensive |

Story Story (By Trix, will edit later and put on the other 2 pages)
Three unusual characters paraded around the festival. The triptych shifters had flown in from Carramba High and they were a mad combo of animal parts that somehow worked together to create unique individuals.
Jasinder, being the most physical of the trio, was at the front, leading a very excited Joey and a mortified Jaxon through the festival.
"How long before we can go to the eggs?" Joey asked, "I can't wait to meet them."
"You mean you want to lick them." Jaxon rolled his eyes as he twitched nervously and moved erratically in place.
"Well, there's no time as the present." said Jasinder, as cool as a sea cucumber and she'd had plenty of time to taste the local cuisine.
"Like the present." Jaxon corrected but wasn't acknowledged by the two others.
The trio made their way to the hatching sands and arrived just as a duo left with their new bonds. A multitude of eggs were sitting loosely gathered in groups. Patches of eggshell shards were evidence of others succeeding in bonding. All three of the shifters abandoned all guise of restraint and they zipped - in different sizes and shapes - among the eggs.
Excited animal cries and grunts filled the area but weirder things had happened and because the dragons did not raise an alarm, no guards rushed forth. Not much later, the shifters had found their matches.
Jasinder was joined by a feisty Middle Fire female, Jaxon led a sedate Lesser Ice male away and Joey was busy getting intimitely acquainted with her Middle Air male.
"What did you just eat?" Ghisay asked her new bond.
"I hope they have a nice bed around here." Tuvael said nervously.
"Shift some more! What else can you do?" Dothout encouraged his bond.
