Character Creation and Discussion

For a point of Will, the character can change into the form of a particular animal or back into human form. Their clothing and belongings do not change with them, and they do not gain any special ability to communicate in animal form, though they can still understand human speech, and other shapechangers who have shifted to the same shape. In animal form, the character has a +2 bonus to all Skills which benefit from their new shape, though some skills will of course no longer be available, since they now lack opposable digits and cannot speak. If their form is much bigger or tougher than a human, they have +4 Endurance; if smaller, Endurance now has a -4 penalty.

For an additional cost of 1 point the basic Shapechanger can transform into one additional form that being a hybrid form, a humanoid with the animalistic features of its animal form. This still requires that Will expenditure but they can now shift between one of three forms. This particular form is sometimes called the Rage form as they tend to only take this form when extremely angry. In this form they still do not gain any special ability to communicate, though they can still understand human speech, and other shapechangers who have shifted to the same shape. Further in this hybrid form, the character has a +2 bonus to all Skills which benefit from their new animalistic shape, though some skills are no longer available, since they cannot speak. The Endurance modification is the same as the one for the Animal Form this is associated with

If a shapechanger also has the Magician focus, they can take this Trait multiple times; each time they take it, they learn another animal or hybrid form. Further, although it still costs 2 Trait points for their first form, it only costs 1 point per additional form. For more details, see page 102.

Traits
Shapechange/Hybrid (3 pts)
The character can spend Will (1) to change into either a large White Tiger or a Humanoid-Tiger Hybrid form. Their clothing and belongings do not change with them, and they do not gain any special ability to communicate in animal form, though they can still understand human speech, and other shapechangers who have shifted to the same typeshape. In these forms, the character has a +2 bonus to all Skills which benefit from their new shape, although some skills will of course no longer be available, since they cannot speak and may not have hands. In this form, which is much bigger and tougher than a human, they have +4 Endurance.
Supernatural Strength (2 Pts)
The character is exceptionally strong. They have a +4 bonus to Athletics for feats of strength, and to their Damage attribute for melee attacks. Further, they can spend Will (1) to perform a feat of supernatural strength, such as lifting up one end of a car or punching through a brick wall.
Rapid Healing (2 pt)
The character can rapidly heal from any injury, recovering d6 points of Endurance every hour. This rapid healing even applies when they have negative Endurance. They can even eventually come back from the dead unless decapitated or incinerated. They are resistant to poisons and all but immune to disease. However, the character cannot Rapid Heal damage inflicted by Cold Iron, or untempered iron that was quenched in holy water. Also they will not come back from the dead when killed via Cold Iron.
Night Sight (1 pt)
The character can see in the dark almost as well as they can in daylight, although they cannot make out colors or fine details. For that reason, intelligent creatures with night sight still light their dwellings, though the light is dim by ordinary standards and they do not need the light for most tasks, with the exception of activities such as reading and drawing.
Rage (1 pt)
At the cost Will (1 or 0), the character can enter a rage. In a rage, they can only attack at close range or move to attack, and have a +2 bonus to Melee Combat and damage. They fight until no other opponents remain, although they can also spend Will (1 or 2) to emerge from a rage.

Limitations
Marked
The character has signs that could give them away as being a supernatural being to those in the know. When the a light is shined upon them while in the dark their eyes reflect the light as if glowing red. Further the character craves rare meat the fresher, more raw, and bloody it is the better. The mere presence of a fresh kill where blood is exposed the character will become distracted unless they take a moment to consume some.
Obliged
The character is under an oath of debt that carries supernatural power. They have given their service unto Gaia to protect the world and the occupants from harm by supernatural beings. She may at times give him instructions via dreams and/or visions.
Uncontrolled Anger
Weretigers, like all were-creatures, has difficulty holding their inner beast in check. Thus the character has more than just a bad temper; it is actually an effort for them not to fly into a disproportionate rage when hurt, insulted, or challenged. Keeping calm and not enacting an over the top response which escalates a problem costs d6 Will. In any situation where uncontrolled anger comes into play, entering the Rage is automatic costing no Will, but emerging from Rage when triggered in this manner costs 2 Will points.
Vulnerabilty
The character is vulnerable, and alergic to, Cold Iron, or untempered iron that was quenched in holy water. This alergic vunerability is such that the mere touch of Cold Iron burns them like a red hot branding iron. However this vulnerabilyt is not clear-cut, and needs to be researched to be discovered, as the actuallity of it varyies much more than normal folklore would suggest.

Emphasis : Tough

Endurance : Human (14) -- Tiger/Hybrid (18)

Description/Background
Patrick McGregor was a fairly callous for higher mercenary who had done some rather dark things during his career. However, when on a mission in India he was attacked and nearly killed by a tiger, in fact he would have died that night had he not called out for help. The answer he received was not one he would have expected nor one he could actually fully comprehend but one you are dying and grasping at straws any lifeline was worth latching on too and so he pledged his life to Gaia not having a clue as what meant and was on that night introduced to a world he no idea even existed as Gaia transformed him into a weretiger.

Since that night, life has taken on a wholly different light and understanding for him for not only did she transform his physical nature but she enlightened his mind to the true aspects and consequences of the life he had been leading and as such he is a man haunted by his past and striving to redeem himself for his past atrocities. He now works for the P Division investigating supernatural crimes.
