Shifters

The Shifters, named Shushireth (literally "water animal). by the Kalka'shar, are the other primary sentient species within Kal'shar, and the Kalka'shar's long-time enemies.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Shifters can embody two primary forms: one of a humanoid, and one of an animal. It is unknown how long a Shifter can live, as very few have been seen to die of old age. The oldest living Shifter was their King -- an ancient owl-Shifter who was known to have lived six thousand years, and showed true signs of old age.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Shifters, like Kalka'shar, are able to 'regenerate' from death. However, this is often a painful process and leaves the person with scars and/or permanent difficulties related to their death. If an injury such as a lost limb is gained and the person does not die and regenerate within an hour or two, that injury will not heal with regeneration.
The Shifters also have the abilities of hydrokinesis and telekinesis in both of their forms, though it is easier for them to control their power in humanoid form. They are also highly attuned to magic in general and can learn many skills such as telepathy and blood magic.
