Skinchangers

Skinchangers are individuals who, most commonly since birth, have had the ability to shapeshift into their Spirit form. In the early stages of Skinchanging, one must learn to control their ability. An unexperienced skinchanger will experience random shifts into their Spirit form, and often can't control the events that follow.
