Changeling

Wherever humans live, changelings reside also; the question is whether their presence is known. To most common folk, changelings are the subject of spooky bedtime stories; something akin to "the boogeyman". To more knowledgeable folk, they know that changelings are among them.
The changeling race is widespread across Askara, but there are few if any true changeling settlements remaining in the world due to the race's persecution over the past several hundred years. As a result, most changelings are drifters, forsaken to a new face with a new town every so many years. Despite the stigma, changelings are not inherently bad people.
In their true form, changelings are pale, with colorless eyes and silver-white hair. It is rare to see a changeling in that form, for a typical changeling changes their shape the way others might change clothes. A casual shape — one created on the spur of the moment, with no depth or history — is called a mask. A mask can be used to express a mood or to serve a specific purpose and then might never be used again. However, many changelings develop identities that have more depth. They build an identity over time, crafting a persona with a history and beliefs. This focused identity helps a changeling pinpoint a particular skill or emotion. A changeling adventurer might have personas for many situations, including negotiation, investigation, and combat.
