Since we are talking complex new stings for the changeling in another topic. I was thinking...
If the changeling in RP stings someone, gets ratted out easily, doesn't get the kill. The jig is automatically up.
The changeling has no one to change into. Atleast when NPCs from the space diner were fair game.. you had those and lead into silly RP moments.
But now... changelings have to kill to "start offically using idenities"
And there in lies the kicker. They always take other people's forms so you have an easy list of changeling suspects for a while.
But what if the changeling.. has a form from the start as well? Something randomly generated?
Something that ain't in the systems?
The example here is simple:
Changeling: McCoy LeJoy. Occupation: Doctor
This guy is around and being a doctor means killing someone stealthily is next to impossible since someone is always getting injured and doctors in maintance or far away from medbay is odd.
So what if Dr LeJoy here... could take off his clothes, put on a staffy outfit and turn into Rando McWhoisthis? Pretending to be a stowaway with no security records (beepskies will chase them) and no ID in the system.
Now the changeling could be a stowaway... kill someone... their body's get found... they saw McWhoisithis in the maintance, but in the meanwhile LeJoy is back at medbay planning their next kill.
I basically want the changeling to just have a random form they can use to either "get rid of the trial" if they reveal themselves by failing to kill their victim. OR... an idenity that has high attention thus easily disposable and slip back in to their main form.
