Shape-changing aliens crashed on Earth ages ago (around the 3rd century) and quickly learned to blend into human society. Most of them kept to themselves in their own little communities. However their council did not care to keep records of day to day things so much of their history was lost. So much that most believe themselves to be native to the planet their ancestors crashed on so long ago. As shape shifters it has always been easy for them to blend in. Over many generations their society has developed certain standards of behaviors. Biologically they are all hermaphrodites. They are not raised to think of themselves in a sexual manner, as the general consensus is that reproduction is only for the continuation of the species. Any positive emotions that may come from the act are unimportant. Every shifter is required by law to both sire and birth a minimum of two offspring in their lifetime. Most full fill their obligation without comment. Others are more vocal in their opinions either for or against the practice. Those in favor are viewed as annoying but harmless, those apposed are seen as being even more annoying. At age eight a young shifter is allowed choice to be a known by either male pronouns or female pronouns. In the past male pronouns were most common used until human women began to be allowed more rights and the shifters were not limited to male pronouns as often while in disguise as humans. All shifters look about the same in their natural form. They have black rubbery skin with yellow spots and large yellow eyes. They are hairless and their dark skin turns red when they are angry. When killed they revert from whatever disguise they were using to their natural form. Naturally the government has covered this up like they do with everything alien related. Some types of shifters take male or female forms more often due to which human gender stereotype their own natural body shape matches. About Shape Shifters Shifters regularly crossbreed with humans and offspring usually take after the parent that births them. In rare case a shifter may give birth to a human child but humans are not usually able to carry a shifter to term naturally as the offspring are born prematurely and bond with the parents body soon after birth, something that can't be done with a human mother. Crosses between Shifters and gel/goo creatures are more successful but not well documented as the Shifters themselves only started recording their own history in the early 2000s and no one really wants to go through all the piles of paper work from jobs and such to find things out. Especially as most forms had to be in triplicate and a copy sent to nine different now defunct branches of office prior to 1950. After that the bureaucracy and legal system got a total rewrite. |

Height: 5' 3" Weigh: 130 lbs. Relationship Status: Single Helix uses male pronouns and identifies as male though he presents himself as a female human most of the time due to his natural body type being similar to a human woman. Helix has sired one offspring and has no desire to birth any offspring ever no matter what the law says. Family

Bren Age - Adult (born in the United States of America around 1834-ish Sex - Hermaphrodite Gender - Female Orientation - Straight? (She is attracted to males usually. With shifters it's hard to say, but she's married to a shifter that uses male pronouns and she uses female pronouns so it seems to be straight or their speices equvilent of such). Height: 6' 7" Weigh: 200 lbs. Relationship Status: Married Bren uses female disguises when she isn't working and when she allowed to while working. When working she is often required to use male disguises as they fit her natural body shape better and a big man stopping a car with his hands looks less weird than a thin pigtailed blonde girl doing the same.
