Title: 2018/06/04 [MOTO 1-57,58] - Best to stay undercover
Post by: Tapewolf on June 04, 2018, 12:06:46 PM
So, there are places where it's legal to be a Trickster.  Is it also legal to be a shapeshifter there?  Are there places where it's legal to be a shapeshifter but not a Trickster?
Do people even recognise shapeshifters if they're that rare, or do they just assume you're a weird halfie?

Since they're suspected extinct on LaRaGa, would there even be laws surrounding them?

I'm not sure if I asked about this before but what actually stops a shapeshifter from covering their arms besides social taboo or old legal reasons (to identify a shapeshifting criminal for example) From a self-preservation aspect it just seems smarter to cover up...

Generally there's no laws against it. Like there's no laws against bigfoots (are there laws against bigfoots??). Generally people don't recognise 'em, which is why older-and-wiser RE-era Col just wanders around in his base form.

Taboo can be very strong in a world of capricious gods.
