Shape Shifter

[close] Dear ________, Headmaster Asheford and I have taken a special liking in you. Yes, we know about you and your "exceptional abilities". No, not your amazing talent to sing, or your spectacular gift in basketball. We are talking about your "bizarre" supernatural powers. Shape-shifting, telekinesis, flight, all of those things and more. You are not the only ones with these strange capabilities. There are plenty of us out there; just like you. We, at Celestial Academy, will teach you how to control these abilities properly. Pack your bags, child. Your ride will be here tomorrow morning at 9:30 am sharp. Welcome to Celestial Academy, student. Headmistress of Celestial Academy, Iris Gable

[close] Numerous different types of shapeshifters exist in the world. There is a distinction between lycanthropes, which include solely persons infected by contact with another lycanthrope's bodily fluids, and shapeshifters, a class that includes both lycanthropes and persons who are able to shapeshift as a result of magic, such as a personal or family curse. In this universe, lycanthropes are barred from certain professions and can in fact still be killed on sight in some states. The status of non-lycanthrope shapeshifters, being far more rare, is less clear. To what extent, if any, human society recognizes the authority of lycanthrope social groups (packs, pards, etc.)--whether criminal acts undertaken at the order of one's alpha might be regarded as actions taken under duress, for instance-—is similarly unclear.
