Kith's favourite past time is learning about animals, and being a vet, she has ample oppurtunity.
When not with Kalen, or Corinth, she spends her time studying their forms and movements. After that,
well, what better way to understand an animal than to become it?! ((Protean 4 + Gift of Proteus)) These
are the forms she has learnt so far, with stats and a brief word below:
. | Strength | Dexterity | Stamina | Charisma | Manipulation | Appearance | Perception |
Wolf | +1 | +2 | +3 | N/A | -3 | N/A | +1 |
Bat | -2 | +1 | N/A | N/A | -3 | N/A | +3 |
Magpie | +1 | +1 | N/A | N/A | -3 | N/A | +2 |
Panther/Lynx | +2 | +3 | +2 | N/A | -3 | N/A | N/A |
Crinos Wolf | +3 | +1 | +3 | 0 | -3 | 0 | N/A |
Alien | +5 | +5 | +5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | +1 |
Wolf and Bat
These are the forms commonly learnt by a vampire with the skill protean 4.
Her sire taught her this before he copped it. The wolf form parallels her own
nature in many ways, giving her a sense of cunning surival instinct, whilst the
bat is fascinating for her with its sonar communication and navigation. Knowing
about it is not quite the same as actually using it.
Magpie
The third form she learnt, with the help of her little ghoul magpie
Sorrow. She loves this form and
the freedom it brings. It was not as tricky as she thought it would be, getting used
to this form, as she had 'borrowed' Sorrow's body on several occasions! ((Animalism 4))
Panther and Lynx
She learnt the snow lynx form first from the zoo in Venice. There are advantages to being an
exceptionally good vet with specialties in the exotics. The panther form she learnt from Corinth;
she found it much easier to learn a second cat form as the basic structures are so similar. These forms
give her feelings of strength and sheer sensuality.
Crinos Wolf
A useful combat form, she would not have been able to learn this if not for her chlidhood
friend Thomas (a.k.a Waning Moon, Fianna Galliard) and the help she had selflessly given the
Garou on many occasions.
Alien
Imagine the 8ft Alien drone from the film 'Aliens'. This form is literally a combat monster. It sees in
sonar and infra-red, but obfuscate still works against it. While in this form she gains many abilities which
can roughly equate, for her, to:
Celerity +3 ((fast reaction time and limbs built for speed))
Fortitude +3 ((chitinous exoskeleton))
Potence +3
Obfuscate +1
Visceratika +4
Auspex +1 ((not altogether a good thing - see below!))
Despite these obvious advantages, however, Kith is loathe to take this form for 2 very good reasons.
The first is that shifting to Alien is rather like stepping out of a shower feeling clean and refreshed,
only to don greasy, grimy, sooty clothes. ICK!! The second is that if there happens to be an Alien Queen
nearby, her mind can and will be taken over. She will become an Alien drone to the Queen because of its
telepathic control over the hive. ((yes, I know the Aliens in the film don't communicate telepathically!
These Aliens are slightly different. Also, this is the GM's way of stopping the character going overboard!))
Also, she hasn't fully mastered this form - her blood does not become acidic, it is still blood. She would
need Vicissitude to do this.
