PLEASE NOTE! Alters were moved from the previous version of RA, where they were a bit more established. We plan to have events and prompts related to alters in future to flesh them out more here too! Stay tuned for that cx

A mysterious form granted by the artefact power of a companion.  It uses the elemental powers of the companion. This form allows for easy travel through the reflection, and is not permanent. Generally, it is the form your character will appear as within the reflection. If they are very skilled and have a very deep bond with the companion, they may pull this off in another realm for a limited amount of time. An alter does not seem to follow the rules of any realm- as such, you can add pretty much anything to your character! Beware, however, that this does not affect the traits of your character's normal appearance, and cannot be used as a free for all card!

If your character is fashionable, you may want to have more than one outfit reference on the masterlist...This transformation is a fashionable one!

The feral form of a Lopilu! Any Lopilu has the ability to shift into feral form, if they choose to.

All Beastlings have the ability to shift into an anthro form.

Some Equos take the form of smaller, deer like creatures!

Dragons rarely take on this form, but some do take a more eastern/serpentine one!

Although Nimare have developed to be bipedal over centuries, due to also laying claim to homes on land and interacting with the surface more, they have ever retained the ability to turn into their leg-less mer form. Since for this transformation, their legs and fins merge to form a long tail or tentacles respectively, their rank cannot always be determined by the size of it alone - although it is still true that most betas and alphas will have bigger or longer tails than an omega.

All felis are capable of shifting into their associated cat form, but not all of them make use of it. It is considered an old art.

The ascended form of a Lopilu, said to be a technique lost with time...
