For-Certain Character Types

I cannot speak from a position of authority on this. I'm not in the know. I'm just a dude who likes playing FATE.
I imagine the answer is yes. You would likely pick different skills, aspects, and stunts. Let me clarify what those are.
* Skills represent anything that might be covered by skills or attributes in most other RPGs I've played. How strong you are is Might, while how convincingly you lie is Deceit.
* Aspects are things about the character which will be made mechanically and narratively important. Let's say I make up the aspect "Bastard child of a troll." I can invoke that aspect to get a bonus on a roll to be strong. Someone can tag that aspect to pick me out of a crowd, because I'm big. Or the GM can compel my character to resort to violence.
* Stunts are how to do stuff beyond simple skills, or they are extensions to skills. One stunt might give me a bonus to Might rolls to break things. Another might give me a bonus to use Deceit to fool a member of the opposite sex through flirtation.
Selecting these three things properly should allow you to tune your character to be like what you wish.
Lanodantheon:
Getting back on track: "Were-Form" That means we can have Were-Goats. But what about Form-Weres? How would you do those?
I hate to repeat myself, but it's appropriate here:
Playable Were-goats. J$#@*...
TheMouse:
You mean animals that can become people? It doesn't seem as though it'd be overpowered, considering that we're getting werewolves. Depending on how the werewolf specific Stunts are done, you might be able to kit bash one. I mean, if it's just an alternate form type thing, then just do up the human form as the alternate one.
The real question is whether we could make a chupacabra to hunt down the weregoats. What a fight that would be...

If you're going that route, forget Chubacabra. I want Were-Jackalope....versus Were-Goats hehehe
tonpa:
I’m waiting the most some were-forms with connection to falcons and birds, lycanthrophy side at-least, but maybe even shape changer type. Other thing, also from player concept, is something for the taboos that have sympathy with the supernatural effect, from the school of though from karma; if you don’t take wealth in then need can’t touch you. Specifically if you don’t take money to your possession then you always have enough for your needs. Both can be done with aspects, but I hope there are some specific systems.
