Forumites i need your help.
I am introducing my group into DFRPG and i'll use a storyteller-playercharacter to tag along with the group so i can teach them the game from player perspective.
We will be playing at Submerged level.

My idea is for something support-ish, without a huge amount of social skills since that would end with me talking with myself.
I also have a good idea of *who* i want to play but not *what*.
What i got:

Template: ?
Aspects: Nickname "Squirrel", Acrobat/Gymnast (Maybe worked at a Circus)
Powers: True Shapeshifter, Modular Abilities (4 Points to shuffle around), Human Form
She's supposed to have a very lively nature and might sometimes seem childish or alienating to others.

Now what i came up with before was a Half-Naglooshii, who was trained by Listens-to-Wind to prevent her from joining her ancestors corrupted path. Sure it could justify her happy nature in a bi-polar way, but it feels kinda "meh..." to me.

Now what ideas do you have for a truly true shifter (including objects) and what possible backgrounds could you think of for Squirrel?
Did you play a True Shapeshifter before?
Also how far would you go with possible options for your True Shapeshifter. Would you allow a waterbed? Motorbike? Car? (If you could pay for inhuman/supernatural speed, hulking size and inhuman/supernatural strength) Dinosaurs? Mechanical Features? Electronic Features? Mystic Strength/Speed/Toughness?
Or any cool ideas or warnings about this power in general.
(though i don't fear that it'll ruin my game since the character will just play a support role anyway)

While about this post i got another idea for a True Shifter: Scion of Loki.
In the storys Loki could do various shapeshifting tricks. afaik he even mothered the children of Odins horse.
I think this heritage would make a good background for a stealthy Shapeshifter and one wouldn't even need Powers like Marked By Power, since Loki was all about subtlety and cunning and not raw Power.
What do you think?


tl;dr:
Your thoughts about True Shapeshifters.
