At the behest of the President of Xiphos, resident shapeshifters are conscripted to act as legislative liaisons or ambassadors between countries, continents, and worlds in the same way citizens on Earth are tasked with jury duty. Due to the fact that it’s a civic assignment, most look upon their summons with utter repugnance – save one peculiar monochromatic polymorph. Tahajin earns his amnesty for his perpetual vigilantism solely by his eagerness to volunteer and aid sectors of the governments with triter courier tasks such as edict and treatise delivery or other verbal parcels that need the addition of a jovial soul to soften the potential blow. Plus, the possession of an objective gives yet another purpose to the possat’s aimless adventures across the cosmos. It’s worth it to note that Tahajin cannot fully transform into different species or change his coloration like someone other shapeshifters (those facets exchanged for other abilities and mutations), so these assignments do tend to provide a means for him to test the extend of what he can extrude and mimic in his corporeal replicas. Out of all the transformations in the common list, there are three which get the most usage: Monolithic, yet Meek – The Furred Behemoth - Used for destinations heavily populated with macro organisms. Cloven and decorated with a soft visage, the behemoth form relishes in dominion over the taiga, steppes and other mountainous regions. Its size fluctuates depending on the society’s average, but usually norms around fifteen feet (as to not be too intimating to any smaller folk assemblages that he might need to pass through on the way to his given terminus. {Factoid: Regardless of what size the possat assumes, his footsteps will not cause unusual tremors.} Mercurial, yet Merry – The Cloud Dweller - Used for migratory societies and cities suspended in the sky. Fleet of foot and garlanded in all manner of wing and wingette, the cloud dweller boasts extreme air superiority; able to pitch and yaw on a pebble if need be. While this form is meant to ease introduction by ways of imitating the basic physiology of most hovering races, Tahajin is not above using this form for pure locomotion purposes. {Factoid: This form comes equipped with supersonic vocal chords, capable of projecting over common turbulence.} Marine, yet Mindful – The Saber Amphibian -Used for waterlogged or submerged civilizations or oceanic areas. Dashing betwixt acidic mires and verdigris brinies while covered in filtering gills, the possat’s amphibious form is a borderline extremophile. The configuration and thickness of his scales adjust based on the liquid’s composition and pH factor (since it’s naught but a brand of his natural mattershifting). It also enables the exploration of depths with pressures that would annihilate other shifters. Factoid: Equipped with gill filaments that purify most substances, this form doubles as a desalinator.} Each figure is laden with a selection of ersatz characteristics and organs (as is the possat’s standard modus), along with outstanding pros and debilitating, nigh vexatious cons. Yet, all three carry their own varieties of tenacity and could act as sustained iterations should a certain situation call for it. As a matter of fact, Tahajin is often caught relaxing in one of these forms just because he can! This delight and insouciance is one of the few reasons why community dispatch notices and missives are met with exuberant celebration at the Grandville condominium. |
