This is the basic outline of what we expect for how a profile should appear:

Name: BottleBrush Deadkiller SqueakStalker
Age: 24
Race: Shapechanger (Cat)
Hair Color: Tawny Yellow, with Patches of Orange and Black (Cat) or Red with Blond Highlights (Humanoid)
Eye Color: Green
Height: 18" (Cat), 4'3" (Human)
Weight: 30 LBs (Cat) 140lbs (Human)
Occupation: Local Inn Mousehunter
Languages: Tradespeak and Feline

Personality: Small, Fast, and Agile, Bottlebrush the Cat has been a favourite among the taverns, often seen streaking past many patrons in an effort to catch a mouse, or seen lazing around the fire napping after his last meal.

In Combat, this impetuous mouser is quick to assume his other form, especially when dealing with monsters larger than himself (which most are) or undead. It slows him down to normal movement, but he gains the ability to manifest weapons. Both of which are intended to more catch a foe flatfooted.

Appearance: A Small patchy-looking cat, at first glance. Covered in Tawny, Orange, and Black spotted fur, with a yellow patch over one of his piercing green eyes, and a black patch over the other eye.

History: Created to be a familiar by a powerful drow sorcerer Bottlebrush faithfully served the sorcerer for 18 years till a band of "Heroes" prematurely ended his attempt to gain more power. When the sorcerer passed on to the next plane, the powers that be granted Bottlebrush sentience. And the ability to communicate better with other races through the use of a humanoid form.

Skills:
Shapechanging (Average): 2 times per day, Bottlebrush can shapechange between his Feline and Humanoid forms. His Feline form is smaller, and by default is less strong, but is faster (about one and a half the speed of a normal human) but he loses all skills and equipment as they meld into his body. He also loses the ability to communicate in anything but Feline

Manifestation (Above Average): 5 times per day, although, it takes some effort, bottlebrush is able to manifest a dagger, and he is above average using of thise weapon only. These weapons have an equivilent strength to Iron.

*Edit* The weapons do not stick around forever. Unless he manually disperses them himself, the weapons will cease to exist one post after the weapons leave Bottlebrush's hands, unless he regains posession of the dagger.

His ability to use real weapons has been removed due to his reliance on the manifestation of weapons.

Equipment:
A Shirt made of Iron Chainmail, as well as an innkeeper's outfit. In his Cat Form, Bottlebrush's equipment melds with his body. Leaving him looking like he isnt wearing any equipment.

Wow, my first ever ROG assignment!

First off, welcome to Althanas. Secondly, let's talk a little bit before I can allow you into the Realm.

I am gonna have to put some restrictions on your Character.

@Shapechanging-This should have some sort of a limit. I can see this easily being power-gamed. I'm not saying you would, but it would create an unfair advantage to have the shapechanging occurring without limit. Let's say that your Character may change at will three times a day. That should be fair for everybody involved. Furthermore, we have to have a limit added to the skill itself. Instead of "at will" we can state that the Character grows at least a little bit tired after exerting the effort it would require to fully change from cat to humanoid form. You SKILL in Shapechanging can be Above Average.

@Manifestation-Edit your basic dagger to Iron and you will be fine. Also what do you mean by an increased chance to hit? Please explain in layman's terms.

@Twice the speed of a normal human in cat form is a bit too much considering the nature of the Shapechanging ability. Edit it to ONE.FIVE times the speed of a human being. And please set in a number (How many miles per hour) that the cat can actually move. For example, let's say he moves at like 10 miles per hour or so. The idea is that we're creating low-level characters that are on par with everybody else's low-level character and nobody should have an unfair advantage. You would have Average Speed.

@A steel chain mail is probably too powerful. Make it Iron or Brass and we're in great shape. Contact me back when you can.

If you have any questions feel free to IM me.
