Yet another day has passed and another morning has been reached, truly a feat for one of your own profession with the situation as a whole becoming increasingly volatile. Except, this morning is different in the fact that you woke up with a burning headache and had to spend sometime suffering through the pains of vomiting out the contents of your stomach. Not one of your best days to say the least. Well, at least it's not as bad as that headache you got aft---

"Sssstrength, thisss one hass. What issss thisss one'sss namesss?"

Oh great, there's a hissing voice in my head, how wonderful is this day going?

"We are just curiousss, there'sss no need to be rude to usss now, issss there? It would be nice to know thisss body's name before an accord isss reached."

Somehow, I really think that this voice is somehow real, so I guess I'll humor it. It's not as rude as some others in the New World

1. What is your Name and Sex and Mother Country?

2. What is your Occupation? Is it:
A: You're currently a missionary working to convert the natives in the New World to the true faith, residing in your shack in the wilderness, sometimes relying on charitable tribes to receive food. In your profession, charisma and bravery are important parts of your ability to proselytize.
B: Making money is your game and acting as the middle-man is your trade. Operating out of your trading post, trappers, native and white, come to your post in order to receive pay and supplies for their goods.
C: The wilderness is your home, a true wildman you are. Fur trapping and shenanigans of that nature are your specialities. Some bounty hunting is also sometimes available if one were to stick around in any civilized area long enough.
D: A new life is your goal. Hailing from the motherland, you make it your priority to settle this harsh, savage land and bring civilization to the New World starting with your homestead.
E: You're a native warrior shaman, working the ancestral magics of your tribe and participating in battles in attempts to push the White men off the land of your ancestors.
3. Where in the New World are you operating from?
A: You're situated in the Alaskan wastes, eking a small living out of whatever you can find, whether it be fish, beavers, or moose while managing to escape the overbearing grasp of the trading companies. The native Aleuts are your compatriot's slaves and are forced to fish and hunt for the white populace.
B: The forests of French Canada are your home now with furs a plenty and some semblance of civilization being nearby. However, British incursions into French territories threaten to tear the already fragile peace apart and it is not long before a full-on war is declared between the age-long rivals.
C: The rich lands of the Ohio River Basin are your chosen home with British and French settlers clashing over settlement rights. Other than the sparse forts scattered around the Valley, there is little to no official law enforcement that stops violence from reigning. However, tensions are rising with aggressive English expansion threatening to overthrow French claims on the territory.
D: The Great Plains are your home where you ride your horses across the grasslands, hunting down bison and eking out a living for yourself.

We are a Jew running away because catholic zealots in the homeland don't like Jews or people who's name sounds like a bad guy from the bible. We use to have a shop by a port selling naval supplies to traders and hunting supplies to hunters. One day a rival merchant bribed a Priest to entice a crowd at his church to break our shop for not paying dues to the crown (despite me actually doing so) and before i could hear what was going on my shop was in flames. Some of the crowd looked ready to find me and lynch me so i had to hide out in a barn for a few days so things can cool down. I have no more loyalties to my country for it has betrayed me, for now on i will make sure i am ALWAYS protected no matter what. Hopefully the East India Company will accept me as a Junior Trader to help their profits and my own.

Well, might as well get the introductions out of the way with you, I suppose. My name is Cain Ashewhite and I hail from the streets of London. Once upon a time I was a prosperous merchant selling my wares to various traders coming up the Thames, that's a river if you didn't know, and making myself a respectable living as a secretly Jewish shopkeep. Heh, I guess some rival of mine let that secret out as one of those days, I found my shop burning and a riot in front of my store. I ran back to my house, gathered up all my papers, and set out to my warehouse. Luckily, the fellow who ratted me out didn't know which warehouse was mine. I called in a few favors, sold off most of my stuff and the deed to my property and caught a trader's vessel to the New World. Can't say I exactly regret the decision, as I was getting tired of Anglican priests eyeing me suspiciously and heeding against free trade and commerce. Now here I am, a Jew with no synagogue in the radius of anywhere near here staking my claim in the ever-volatile Ohio Valley. I admit, it was pretty hard to get this homestead up and running, but after I survived the first two winters I was able to make some headway. My goal is to make money and build a legacy. How about you?

Interessssting. However, you have not told usss what your strength isss. Issss there ssssomething elssse bessssidessss your Judaic faith that gives you the sssstrength to forge onward in thissss world? Pleassse give ussss this valuable information in return for our sssservicessss.

Uh oh. Er, I guess there is this little something I've been hiding for all my life on behalf that it would've made my life all the more worse. But, aren't you in my head? If you are in my had then that should mean you know what I know, right?

"Jussst pleassse tell usss. We have not the energy to decccipher your DNA for hidden traitsss of value. We can only tell you have a sssstrength that interesstsss usss."

While you are getting strange vibes from this voice, you see no harm in letting it know your secrets. It's not like it can just go to another person's mind and reveal it all.
4. What is your Secret Power that you have been hiding your entire life?

So, thanks for the support, guys. Really wasn't expect for that quick of a response,

Anyways, pick your, for lack of a better term, superpower of sorts. It can be anything ranging from superhuman senses, speed, energy manipulation, etc. Healing is always a fun one.

Shapeshifting, it allows us to alter ourselves to give ourselves many other superpowers easily enough.

Shapeshifting, it allows us to alter ourselves to give ourselves many other superpowers easily enough.

Shapeshifting is based on mere appearance. While you may be able to simulate people's voices and superficial features, simulating superhuman abilities of others is a bad idea, suffice to say. Although, if you are aiming to a be a Jewish Mystique, that would be very possible.

[Harbingerjm]

Teleportation.

[~Neri]

True shapeshifting lets you do almost anything with the right organ setup, how nerfed are the powers if shapeshifting only does appearance?
