Background

You have the gift to become any animal, mammals or birds, within certain limits of size. This gift was given to you by your late father as a young boy. Now you have grown up into one of the world’s leading experts on animal behavior as well as a very wealthy man. Part of your life is being a consultant for the New York City police department.

You are giving a series of lectures in the use of animals in police work at a police seminar at the Orange County Hilton. Detectives from across the country are in attendance. The lectures have gone smoothly, except for one involving a pair of drug-sniffing dogs. For no reason, they suddenly stopped and started snarling at the audience. It took all your training and concentration to get them under control. You’d never seen them act this way before.

Notes

Your common shifted forms are given above. Other forms can be assumed with some necessary preparation, usually observation of some example of the type of animal desired, limited to mammals or birds. It takes a Willpower point and one round of total concentration to shift between shapes; any clothing worn is shifted as well. Each form can inflict aggravated damage as well as normal damage at will.

Each shape also has the following advantages and disadvantages:

  • Wolf: running movement at x2 normal human movement, acute sense of smell, color blind.
  • Panther: running movement at x2 ½ normal human movement, leaping, +2 levels of Stealth, color blind
  • Eagle: flight at x3 normal human movement, acute sense of sight, color blind

Your allies are Brooke McKenzie, a female police homicide detective for the NYPD, and Tyrone C Earl (“TC”), your assistant and chauffeur. Neither are in attendance at the seminar.
