Shape Shifters
Shape Shifters can shift into ANYTHING at ANY TIME. They go through a very painful process of breaking their bones, ripping their skin and muscles, and reforming them to look like whatever they are shifting into. It takes a total of 30 seconds to fully shift. Shifters can either be turned or born as they are. Turning someone into a shifter involves having another shifter shift into that person and preform a ritual that essentially links the two together. They have ranks just like Vampires.
