AU Week notes 2016
Aug. 7th, 2016 07:27 pmLong before the Mutant X gene was discovered, they were referred to by many names - changelings, sirens, incubi and succubi. The children of Aphrodite, of Adonis, of Lilith, of Loki. Beings able to change their form at will, to seem anything they wished to seem.
But it was believed that, gelded young, these creatures would never gain control over that part of themselves and change only at the will of others. To the desire of others.
And so it was with Sinric.
How he came to Constantine’s court is a story in itself but the Emperor in known for seeking out such rare and often cruelly treated creatures and bringing them to the haven of his court.
Many said to hoard the pleasures of them for himself. And who outside the Emperor’s confidence was to know differently.
***
Sinric is an empathic, desire-driven shapeshifter. Outside the palace he covers his skin and keeps his face veiled, showing only his distinctive golden eyes.
He becomes, quite literally, the personification of desire.
To those with little to no sexual desire – he appears as an androgynous blonde youth in his mid teens.
To those with normal levels of sexual drive or romantic desires – in passing he’ll look more like whatever the pup prefers – man, woman, young, old, whatever. He often reminds people of loved ones, especially those passed away or past loves.
For those with strong sex drives or powerful hungers – he will look, and smells, and feels like what the person most desire. So powerful so, they are drawn to him.
He has no control over this power but is able to muffle the effects by keeping a distance from someone and avoiding physical contact.
However, once touched skin to skin, he’s unable to keep from changing, right down to his reactions to that person. He will take on the appearance, abilities, mannerisms and powers of that personification.
He can only revert to himself once that person leaves his presence. Bathing also helps to speed up his reversion. He’s physically frail and is often left bruised or marked by encounters more powerful than his body can take.
Some mutants, and those with strong psychic abilities may not be affected or may not affect Sinric's mutation. Feel free to play around with the idea.
Please if you have any questions or want to bounce around ideas, don’t hesitate to email me munnin.odin(at)gmail.com or PM me via Sinric’s journal.
