[lizbot]

Natural Ability Addition Request
Character Name: Colette Lacroix
Character Race: Reaper
Character Subspecie: Grim Reaper
Character's Natural Ability/Abilities: Shadow Shift
What Year Is Your Character Now?: Y2
Natural Ability Request: Shadowy Gateway - The Grim Reaper may conjure and dismiss a dark gateway of shadows for travel between locations, lasting up to a minute or until used. The clearer the knowledge and mental visual of the location, the better the chance of an accurate travel. It's possible to take a companion or object through so long as it somehow remains directly connected to the Grim Reaper and isn't bigger than the gateway itself, which is never bigger than 7ft high by 3ft wide.

( I imagine it obviously can't be used to go travel between worlds by inexperienced youngin's and restricted places like offices and bank vaults will have enchantment security or something to keep out trespassers. )

For a tier 1 ability ~ I'm going to say they need to have their destination within sight. And limited to 100 yards. So the great outdoors = yay! Touchdown! Buildings = much less yay.

Natural Ability Addition Request
Character Name: Calder
Character Race: Monster
Character Subspecie: Kelpie
Character's Natural Ability/Abilities: Horse Form
What Year Is Your Character Now?: Y2 - Knob
Natural Ability Request: Suction Skin - Calder has the ability to keep a rider firmly in place, even if they want to get off. This is to prevent a rider from jumping ship (or pony ride) early without a kelpie's consent (or before they decide to turn and head for a river). The suction is created through the creatures pores and hair, keeping them in place, but while hard to control in the beginning (He'll need some practicing turning it on and off by will), if a rider/creature were to become a treat, they would be released. Suction skin can be active in both humanoid form and horse form.

"even if they want to get off." <--- this is a no go ~ at least in regards to TiHers and hunters ~ regular humans, it's fine (though it won't show up in RP that often.) What about making the skill highly concentration based (not just at the learning and practice stages) ~ that way there's a given "way-out" of his ability for others (break his concentration)

Natural Ability Change Request
Character Name: Xiu-Ying
Character Race: Demon
Character Subspecies: Baku
Character's Natural Ability/Abilities: "Bakus have the ability to enter and devour the dream of a sleeping target. However, they can not interact with anything in their target's dream, including the dreamer themselves."
Proposed New Natural Ability: "Bakus have the ability to enter and devour the dream of a sleeping target. They may interact with the dreamer in the dream world, but are unable to directly interact with any other characters or objects that may be present in the dream."
Reason: Mostly for the interest of RPing, as I wanted to play out Xiu peeking into someone's dream at some point, but it wouldn't be very engaging for the other player if all Xiu could do is stand around and watch, I don't think? ;; Also, in her second or third year, I'd like for Xiu to actually slowly being to learn how to manipulate dreams in her favour (e.g. turning good dreams into nightmares, or vice versa)  

[lizbot]

That sounds reasonable ~ !  

[lizbot]

Shifting would be a-ok ~ !

Natural Ability Addition Request
Character Name: Jove
Character Race: Ghost
Character Subspecie: Wisp/Foxfire
Character's Natural Ability/Abilities: Shifting from natural form to human form.
What Year Is Your Character Now?: Y2
Natural Ability Request: Update to having (more) control over his physical appearance. For the purposes of second year it's primarily going to be the form of a larger, fluffy white ghost dog, about the size of a retriever. Also the more practical matter of learning to shift into his human form with clothing included. XD; He won't be able to purposefully change into anything that does not come naturally, for this year it's only variants on his natural form and his humanoid form.
