Race name: Changeling
Attributes: Not many people know what Changelings look like. Mostly because, well, they don't usually keep their normal features. They're prone to changing their hair, face structure, height (though only a foot can be added), etc. If they've had physical contact with anyone (of any race, even Undead, Bonemen, or Zombies), they can take on all or a bit of their appearance. Unfortunately, they can't take any of their abilities. So you might find one who is barrel-chested and large-armed, but can't lift a twig.
As for their actual appearance, they seem to be naturally slender, completely without hair, and silver-eyed.
A lot of Changelings, due to their ability to deceive, are a bit feisty, plotting, and sometimes arrogant. You can find a lot of them among thieves, or the more immoral types as heads of corporations (having disposed of the real person). However, kind and harmless Changelings are far from rare, though they do still have that fiery side to them.
History:
Changelings have been around for quite some time. No one is certain when they joined our world, due to their ability to morph, but cases have been rampant for centuries.
There are theories, however, that the Changelings originated somewhere within the uncharted depths of Antarctica. This, like most other theories related to the nightwalkers of the world, is not for certain.
But all in all, they have been with us ever since we (or those who believe) can remember. There have been Changelings within the political system, within families, and almost anywhere you can think of.
Strengths: The ability to change their features at will. They can also withstand cold better than others.
Weaknesses: Though they change their appearance, they don't take the abilities with it. They're naturally a bit weak. They also can't take hot temperatures as well as others, which sometimes gives them away if they're in another form.
