Other features: N/A

Everyday clothing style: It literally changes every day. One day it can be petite, brightly coloured dresses, another can be gothy chains and jeans, video game reference shirts, ect.

Pretty much the only consistency here is that Shay rarely wears much makeup. When you have complete control over your complexion, less is more.
Uniform: …. Whatever they’re dressing up as?
Sleepwear: Usually something somewhat revealing, variable based on what kind of body they’re in. But Shay likes to enjoy whatever body they’re in.
Miscellaneous clothing: Again, depends on what they’re feeling like. Their jewelry chest is more of a jewelry closet.

Character

Personality: Shay is an excitable, happy person with a massive amount of enthusiasm for many aspects of life, they love to make people laugh, people smile and they want everyone to have equal opportunities wherever possible.

Shay’s opinions on gender, and gender inequality come from a slightly different perspective than most. Even most non-binary individuals, as they never dealt with any of the assigned sex pressures most of society dealt with, they think inequality and predjudice in regards to physical traits is absolutely dumb. People are just people.

Shay also exudes energy at all times, extreme hyperactivity that is obvious to anybody that spends any real length of time with them.
Hobbies/ Interests:The first big ones if obviously video games. Shay’s entire life revolves around the nerdy subcultures. They also love movies, anime, and generally have a massive appreciation for different forms of art.

The other big one is cosplay. Shay loves it to pieces, it’s a way they feel they can express themselves in a unique way.
Job or part time job and description: Retired pro-gamer, currently a streaming personality on Fidget.TV, as well as entering costume competitions and being crowdfunded for cosplay by their audience.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: The big personal fear Shay holds is coming off as an awkward mess to anyone they meet in person. Speaking to people online, and interacting with a faceless audience is a completely different ball game to being in front of a real, live person.

The other underlying concern that boths Shay is mutant and LGBTQ rights. There are always little things on the internet they pick up on that give them pause and concern.
Special talents: Aside from the above average RTS and FPS skills, Shay has developed a talent for planning and assembling costumes.

Morality

Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Good. Shay likes to promote interesting charities, donates to them regularly and wants everyone to share in their love for video games and what they can do for others. They’re not necessarily going to try and stop someone from getting mugged, but they’re very likely to call the police before hiding.

Mutations

Mutation description: Character customisation:
Shay’s power is effectively a very complicated method of shapeshifting. When they will it, a ‘menu’ opens in front of them featuring dozens sub menus of appearance customisation, like the most complicated character creation for a video game you can imagine. They can adjust their height, muscle tone, skin tone, hair colour, eye colour, voice, even sex. Pretty much every physical trait you can imagine.

In addition, Shay has a ‘favourites’ tab that they can save a few of their most used or preferred appearances in for easy access, 3 at a time.

The windows in the menu are totally invisible to everyone but Shay, anyone watching them customise would just see them waving their arms around in the air, instead of moving around sliders.

Shay will get a ‘preview’ window before finalising the changes before their body emits a bright light and shifts into the new form. (Think Pokemon evolution).
Strengths:
-Complete autonomy over appearence and sex, they can look like whatever they want.
-Can effectively impersonate people.
Weaknesses and Limitations:
-The main limitation is that the menu editing has a 2 hour ‘cooldown’ between uses, where it just won’t appear if summoned.
-Non-innate traits like tattoos are not part of the customisation, and would be pointless as they would disappear between customisations.
-Shay has to consume more calories for the shifts as the changes in body type require a massive amount of energy, with more required depending on how severe the change is, and obviously more shifts means more calories must be consumed.
-Shay doesn’t ‘heal’ between shifts, if they received a wound in one form, and then shifted it would likely shift to somewhere similar on the new body.

Physical Abilities

General Physical Capabilities: Shay has pretty decent physical capabilities, as long as they keep a regularly large amount of calories in their system, and decide to adopt forms with strong physical traits, as well as having quick reflexes from a lengthy semi-professional gaming career.

Generally however Shay doesn’t typically prioritise practicality in their bodies. Instead going for aesthetic.
Fighting Style: Shay has no formal combat training, whatsoever.
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: Zero training, ass would get kicked by pretty much everyone.

History Of Your Character
Shay was born in Los Angeles to parents very engrossed in the film industry, however their mutation manifested from practically the moment they were born. Their traits constantly shifting and changing every few hours or so. They went through more babysitters than was probably considered healthy for most families.

At an early age Shay’s parents split up for a number of reasons, which caused their perception of families to shift. They already had a slightly different outlook to most children, more than a little spoiled and home schooled, for the obvious reason of an appearance shifting child being very out of place in a normal school. Pretty much the only thing they shared with other kids was occasionally taking part in Halloween events, dressing up was just so exciting!

As they grew, Shay became more and more into video games. Partially due to the obvious connection that formed between their own ability to customise their being, and that of character creation in video games. They started out with a whole list of RPG’s, and then slowly progressed into shooters and strategy games.

By teenage years Shay was gradually becoming more and more proficient with video games, and began to place quite high on laddered game types in a couple of real time strategy games, leading to them getting scouted by a few teams that sponsored that sort of thing.

It was definitely a growing field, and Shay flourished within it. But it was stressful, more stressful than anything they’d done in their entire life. Eventually they moved over team based games. There were team based strategy games now, and some popular team based FPS. They ended up on a team of other similarly aged players, and for the first real time in their life Shay found themselves with friends their own age, with shared interests.

Between signing up and attending their first few real competitions, Shay went to their first comic con. It was such an incredible revelation, not only were the gatherings of fellow nerds so much bigger than they expected, but people dressed up as their favourite characters! And entered competitions, some of them even got paid for it!

Living in a house with them was probably the best way of exposing Shay to socialisation that there was, and there they would remain for almost 5 full years. Initially starting to live with them at the age of 16, Shay decided to retire from the scene at the age of 21. As well as moving for a change of scenery to New York.

Shay began attending more conventions, enjoying their ability to engage in cosplay. It’s like they were literally made for it. They even discovered that if they took their cosplay passion into the streaming it drove even more fans to their channel, and was becoming more and more of a viable career path.

At the age of 22 Shay has lived in New York for about 4 months now, and is more or less fully set up for regular streaming, as well as engaging in cosplay, and promoting charity events wherever they could. They still had a manager, it was just a lot less hands on than their days playing for a team.

Sample RP:
Fidget.tv was such an interesting platform to Shay, having so many people in a chatroom at once, asking you questions and having a laugh and interaction with each other was just weird. Today Shay was appearing to his chat as a dude, tall dark and handsome. With raven black hair and some very grey eyes. It was always amusing to see the different people swooning in the chat over the chosen forms.

Sometimes Shay got sent requests with a picture of a person chat wanted them to look like, along with progressively more and more ridiculous donations. Shay tried not to indulge these, but would sometimes try out how close they could get off camera. It was sort of fun.

The ShadyShay username was kind of silly, but everytime Shay brought up rebranding, the fanbase rioted. So he guessed they were stuck with it for now.

“Comon guys, we’ve got this! Last phase!” The crew were online together, concentrating on downing a boss just released in their most recent flavour of the month game and it was nail biting. Shay unfortunately got downed early and had to endure the usual washed up memes in his ears, he smiled and just carried on cheering for the last few pixels of health before… They got it!

“Woo! Boss downed, great job guys! Lemme just check on the chat and catch up on donations quick.” He picked up what was left of his coffee and took a large gulp as he tabbed over to the chat, spitting coffee out and sputtering. That number couldn’t be right?

2500? Active people in the chat? What the-

It took Shay a moment to calm down before the door bell rang. Ah. Dinner. Now that the shock from the peak numbers had faded slightly a wolfish smile graced Shay’s lips. “Pizza is here guys, we’ll have a short break and be back onto the next zone shortly!” Sticking up the break graphic Shay grabbed money off the counter and scrambled to the door.

As Shay swung the door open to a young delivery man he gave a sheepish smile. “V-Veggie supreme?”

“Er. Yeah buddy, you paid online right?” The man asked, glancing the money in Shay’s hand and into the room behind him.

“Yeah, but I still wanted t-to tip you.” Shay handed over a pretty generous tip, thanked the man again and swiftly closed the door, taking a moment to steady himself before placing the pizza on the counter and darting into the bedroom, quickly pulling up the menu and switching to a favourite, pulling on fresh clothes with a fox onesie before stepping out of the room in a female form, scooping up the pizza and resuming the stream.

“Hey guys, We’re back!” Shay exclaimed, grinning playfully. There were definitely newcomers in the chat. All the regulars ate it up, the chat went wild.
