A series of stories about shape shifters
- Shifters have two (or, in rare cases, more) sets of DNA that they can choose between to express themselves
- Interspecies mating usually results in a miscarriage as the two alter species DNA can't merge
- In rare cases, merging doesn't happen and you end up with a shifter with two alter forms
- In really rare cases, the human DNA doesn't merge, and you end up with a shifter with two human forms, each one a clone of one of the parents
- This can happen with same alter-species mating as well, but is even rarer then
- Higher brain functions remain the same and don't morph, but lower ones are encoded in the DNA for things like muscle coordination
- A Shifter is not able to shift until they reach full human maturity around 25 years old.
- When they do shift, the form is reset to the genetic form - in particular, fixing any aging or injury
- Mass is conserved, so if, say a human shifts to an eagle, it's a very large eagle, conversely, a bear would be a small bear
- While a fat shifter stays fat, shifting takes a lot of energy and generally, there aren't fat shifters
- Nudity taboos are silly in general, and unworkable for shifters
- Shifter communities masquerade as highly exclusive nudist communities
- Predator/Prey shifter types conflict?
