Mother of Monsters/The Original Shapeshifter

The Original Shapeshifter is a primordial being that is a soulful embodiment of evolution. It naturally takes on a form of a female, having adopted inaccurate names of Eve, Gaia, Circe, Loki, Nagual, with its original identity before written surviving legends remaining unknown.

The Original’s disdain towards humanity grew from human’s destructive nature. The Original believes in the chaotic balance of the natural order, which is inclusive towards non-human creatures. It negates the snobbish cruelty which emits from humans when it comes to perverting nature and killing creatures that are perceived as ‘monsters’.

The Original took on the mantle of Mother of Monsters, by creating her own array of children, hyper evolving a select few humans to what is currently considered supernatural: werewolves, vampires, chimeras, hybrids, halflings and fae. She has given birth to monsters that do not fall in the ‘supernatural’ category by being too monstrous to pass as humans, preying on the mortal blood and hiding in the darkness.

The Mother is not destructive in nature but is a mere response to humanity’s own initiated destruction – she considers the bloodshed her and her children cause a necessary chaos to restore the natural balance that humanity’s very existence is corrupting.

Evolutionary in nature, the Mother can physically be killed, but not spiritually. She stays within a consistent reincarnation cycle – reincarnating through the very humans she despises, and the hosts become gifted with her abilities. The past lives of the Mother’s reincarnation cycle can reach the point where they are able to communicate with each other, as well as see each other’s memories. Each host is her own person, yet they all share the same soul that binds their identities with faint threads that cannot be separated.

Current known host: Finley French.
