Shifters

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
• Nudity taboos are silly in general, and unworkable for shifters
  • Shifter communities masquerade as highly exclusive nudist communities
• Predator/Prey shifter types conflict?
