The god of primal law and patron of the shapeshifter race, the Skinwalker is a mysterious and unpredictable figure who has no official following. Though he's not officially part of the Great Gods of Genesis, he's seen as similar in power but standing apart from their more organized rule; it's theorized that he predates all other gods. He takes a great deal of interest in the Reaper line and is said to have been responsible for their creation in the distant past, reshaping ordinary humans to make them capable of wielding Fate's power. Associated with: primal law and rule of the strong, shapeshifters and all those capable of transformation, hunters, predators, the full moon, animals, night, fog, deception and tricksters, hunger, the Dream Road Additional Notes: appearance and features can shift, but base form is always a hooded, longhaired man of indeterminate age with a crown of antlers. Skincolor and haircolor can change but always retains palettes found in nature, often displays the traits of different animals. Clothing is always roughshod and using dull colors and natural materials. |
