Alternate Form
From Activating Evolution
Alternate Form, also known as Transformation, Transfiguration or Morphing is the psionic ability to assume the form of an object or creature whenever the user desires. This form could be any of the following:
• 1. Animal Form or Creature Form ("Animal Shapeshifting") is the ability to assume the form of an animal(s) or a swarm of insects/vermin. This transformation may even allow shapeshifting into a dinosaur, a mythical creature or alien creatures (but only to that form/those forms and back to normal). This transformation usually allows one to communicate with the species that one has transformed into.
• 2. Monstrous Form is the ability to assume a form of one which is far more grotesque and frightening than one's normal form. This form has ugly features, and far enhanced abilities (and may be proned to the ability Psychic Intimidation. This form may be beastly (like a humanoid animal), alien, or just the user's appearance distorted (sometimes larger or smaller than one's normal appearance).
• 3. Toy Form of Object Form is the ability to assume a form similar to a toy or an inanimate object. One with this ability could use it to blend into one's environment (and thus keep from being found) or for easy transportation. This form is impervious to pain, and if one sustains lethal injury in this form, they usually just revert back to their normal form, unconscious. This form can move as though one were an animated toy.
• 4.Airy Form is the ability to assume a windy, airy form. This form is either devoid of visibility and specific shape, or similar to a wind cyclone. This form allows the user to hide in any space. If pressurized, this form can stifle fires, inflate the lungs of foes or travel with the wind, as well as attack evasion. This form can even be used to assimilate one's form into a tornado or other strong form of wind to attack foes more effectively.
• 5. Aqueous Form or Water Mimicry is the ability to assume a form similar to or composed of water. One with this ability can even assimilate his composition to other water and manipulate the water to expand his or her size, or he could move in this form through liquid mediums, sometimes even assuming the various states of matter (solid, liquid, gas and plasma). This form is usually highly vulnerable to electrical attack.
• 6. Terrene Form or Earthy Form is the ability to assume a form composed of rocks, dirt or stone. This form can sling the rocks/dirt of which one is composed to attack foes, or dig into the ground by assimilating oneself into the geography of the land. This ability could even be used to assimilate other earth and rock into one's form, increasing one's size, strength and endurance. This form may be composed of coal, diamond, or similar types of stone (or a composite of different types of stone).
• 7. Pyric Form or Fiery Form is the ability to assume a form composed of fire or biofire (a psionic form of fire which only affects those designated by the user). This form allows complete immunity to the effects of fire (even fire from the sun), but usually also causes vulnerability to intense cold and water. One with this ability can even use his flaming composition to shoot powerful blasts of fire at foes, or to burn/ignite objects and subjects by touch. This form is activated through successful human combustion.
• 8. Electrical Form or Electrical Mimicry is the ability to assume a form composed of electrical energy. This ability allows travel through electrical conduits (such as power lines, or telephone lines). One with this ability can enter through devices such as televisions, electrical poles or computers, or even use his electrostatic composition to shoot powerful arcs of electrical energy.
• 9. Sand Form or Dust Form is the ability to assume a form which looks like the user is made out of sand, or a constantly-swirling sand cyclone/constantly-floating dust cloud. This form can be used to obscure the vision from foes, flay flesh (if whirling fast enough) or travel on air currents. The sand form can is malleable, and capable of not only assimilating into bodies of sand, but also changing density.
• 10. Metallic Form is the ability to assume a form which looks like the user made out of metal, or has skin covered in metal. This is different from a metallic exoskeleton because the exoskeleton is just an outer covering, while Metallic Form allows one to infuse the metal with their genetics, thus actually taking on the properties of the metal (besides just durability).
• 11. Sonic Form or Sound Form is the ability to assume a form composed of sentient sound waves. One with this ability could move as fast as the speed of sound, and manipulate sound to his or her will. The faster a person with this ability moves, the louder a sound is released. A person possessing this ability could act as a living sonic boom and by simply moving at a fast enough speed, he could disorient opponents and shatter windows.
• 12. Light Form or Light Mimicry ("Focus") is the ability to assume a form composed of light. One with this ability could move in the form of a light beam, so as to move at light speed (although the amount of time one can do it is fairly short), and have all the properties of light. One with this ability could replicate themselves by moving through a prism, or shine brightly to blind foes. One with this ability may or may not also have Photokinesis.
• 13. Shadow Form or Shadow Mimicry ("Nigrescence") is the ability to assume a form composed of shadow (solid darkness). One with this ability can turn nearly invisible in darkness and blend into shadows completely. This can even be used to turn into a sentient shadow, moving along walls and impersonating the shadows of others, allowing one to sneak up on foes or sneak away from subjects. This ability may or may not be accompanied by umbrakinesis.
• 14. Deceptive Form is the ability to assume a form which is deceptive to the eyes, or any other senses. This ability may include the power to assume a form similar to a kitten, or a puppy or a baby, when in fact the user is a dangerous, maniacal killer. This form also helps if the user of this ability is naturally ugly or unappealing to sight.
Of course, the user gains the abilities inherent in that form (such as breathing fire and flying if you became a dragon), but after the user chooses this form, only rarely can the choice be taken back. The user can only "shapeshift" to that form and back to normal (or in some cases, may be born in that form, or retain that form after the first time it is assumed).
