[quote=MonsieurShade] Here's hoping that we can help see your novel to completion. And skinwalkers are generally the worst perpetrators of human mimicry, if only because they can either do a pitch perfect imitation, or distort the speech patterns in some truly horrifying ways [/quote] That's something that's part of my story. It's peculiar to certain individuals and one of my established characters with that ability travels the world and ends up learning a dozen or so human languages. I certainly wouldn't be opposed if someone wanted to include that aspect to their character; there's a lot more about the individual races I could write (like the Selkies having their own distinct culture, they have a sort of loose social hierarchy with lots of vaguely defined 'princes' like you might find in a herd of seals) but I figure I ought to keep things simple since it's a free RP. I'm not going to enforce the rules of my universe much beyond what I've already defined, since I want this to be fun and all.
