The Laws of a Shape-Shifter
[new rules I made or weren’t in the old version are in italics]
001. Every Shifter has a tattoo on a part of their body that looks like this-
. The html code is i35.tinypic.com/35252te.png. The tattoo cannot and should not be seen in public, but is the trademark of a shifter. The tattoo can come in any color and is about that typical size.
002. The trademark tattoo does not convert when a shifter shifts into animal form.
003. A shifter can only remain in their human form for twelve hours. After those hours are over, they MUST change back to the animal form, whether they wish to or not. If a shape shifter is unconscious in human form after their twelve hours are up, they may or may not stay in human form regardless of the twelve hour rule.
004. If your shifter is still in animal form when the twelve hours are up, they will not change back and be locked in that form forever. They will slowly but surely lose their memory of being a human and a shape shifter and become like a regular animal. If a shape shifter in animal form becomes unconscious, after their twelve hours are up, they will naturally change back to a human.
005. If a shifter is extremely weak, they will transform into/remain in whichever form is best suited for their situation. If they are in human form, and their animal form is better suited for the circumstances, then once they transform they pass out.
006. Your character may only have one shifted form. That means no turning into any type of big cat, or any breed of an animal. It means that if your character is a spotted newt, it stays a spotted newt!
007. If a shifter is injured while in shifted or human form, their injury stays with them while they shift. The same goes for pregnancy.
008. If your shifter is pregnant, she will be pregnant in both forms. The form she gives birth in will be the form her offspring is born in. The offspring will have the ability to shape shift if both its parents are shifters. Their form may vary, but not to a wild extent. For example, if both parents are tigers, try not to make your shifter a bird or a snake. They have practically nothing in common! If only one parent is a shifter, then the offspring will stay in the form it is born into. It is possible for two parents to have a permanent puppy!
009. If your shifters form is an animal that’s life span is short, you may still change into the form regardless of the span.

Plot//
Set in a modern 21st century suburban city, The Shadows centers around a generation of teenagers who have the unique ability to shapeshift. Two groups have arisen: known as gangs by the police, and called Guilds amongst themselves. The Thieves, and the Assassins; both named after the two groups of Shapeshifters known to have thrived in the Medieval times. The two guilds remain enemies, but one thing is shared between them: NEVER reveal your powers to anyone.
