That helps lots. :) If the Ghoul character were to become his Darkest Self, could he look more like a dead zombie (e.g. pointy teeth, milky eyes), or is that more for things like the Werewolf and Selkie?<br/><br/>To re-iterate, I want to play the Ghoul.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Hello, CH! and everybody else.<br/><br/>As the only player (I think?) who has so far expressed interest in the selkie, and having read up on them a bit, there's no mythic basis at all for selkies to look anything but human when they're skinwalking. They are either all human, or all seal. No in-between. Most of the legendry is about marriages, births and adoptions, and while the selkies always seem to associate with those on the fringe, they aren't described as being inhuman. Some even have that fey beauty thing going...Although the game doesn't support that (except maybe as something bought with experience ;) ).<br/><br/>But back to ghouls and other things; as near as I can tell from reading, the big guideline seems to be 'everybody can pass for human'...At least if they choose to and aren't in thrall to their darkest self? And of course that's 'pass'...It doesn't mean your character might not need to take some daily precautions to do so, or look like a somewhat bizarrely gaunt and cadaverous human? The big monstrous elements seem to be all internal. (Until they aren't. ;) ) In 'darkest self' form, I get the impression that it becomes 'go hog wild, you are your monster now'...Although only the werewolf explicitly states a physical transformation. For the rest it seems more like 'you no longer hide the worst elements of yourself'...And if for your ghoul, that means you no longer have to remember to keep your fangs hidden or check your makeup to be sure there's SOME color to your skin...<br/><br/>And just to reiterate it here  ^-^ ...<strong>I'm totally interested in playing the Selkie at this point</strong>, and have several elements of character that have come to mind and started to fit themselves together.
