so like what if I started writing about a girl with her dead (supposedly) unrequited love and her journey to try to bring him back to life.

Welcome to Exernia: Shapeshifters
More info below the cut!
(Gore and blood warning)
Hey there! A while ago, on instagram, I posted a short guide to the species of Exernia (the fictional world I created). However, that guide limited each species to one slide and it didn’t really talk about all the stuff I wanted to talk about. Plus, a lot of the stuff is now outdated and I CAN DO BETTER.
Snug was the first shapeshifter I ever made. He was my persona at the time (not anymore though) and I called his species “Crownies.” That sucked so I changed it.
Some additional info I couldn’t figure out how to fit:
They still require the same organs that living things usually have (heart, lungs, etc) but where they are differs
Shapeshifters are often mistrusted by the majority of people on Exernia because of their ability to shift, many people defaulting them to criminals or cheats.
Shapeshifters are more rare than other species because of their unique reproductive system.
Unlike some species, like Ogres and Elementals, shapeshifters don’t have a unique shared culture.
