====== Shapeshifter ======
Legends say shapeshifters were born when the [[..:Celestials:Konran|god of chaos]] could not maintain his existence and fractured into many pieces.  These pieces have been stabilized by the natural order of [[..:Celestials:Psychi]], but they can change their outward and inward forms very easily. They are found in all corners of [[..:|Polemos]] - usually employed as spies, assassins, or other professions where their talents are valued.

===== Physical Attributes =====
  * No set physical attributes
  * Will naturally shape themselves to fit into the society they are born into.
  * Can change physical features with varying degrees of control.
  * No average lifespan, they may suddenly die at any time- hours, days, years, or millennia.
  * Can reproduce sexually, though if they inter-breed the child is either shapeshifter or another race. There are no half-breeds. On rare occasion any race may give birth to a shapeshifter child. Gestation period is varied, but usually lies between 6 months to a year.

===== Social Attributes =====
  * Secret society
  * Leader is the oldest Doppelganger
  * Current leader claims to have the largest piece of Konran, the god of Chaos

===== Spiritual Attributes =====
  * Each is a fragment of Konran, and inherently unstable
  * The Konran may be “tempered,” or embued with more energy of Psychi. This will stabilize their soul, and usually gives them more command over their powers.
  * Elder Doppelgangers may have undergone this procedure many times.
