Archive: Overwatch Shapeshifter AU

In this AU, normal human doesn't exist. Instead, all the predator animals can switch between their animal and human form. There are few exceptions of herbivore shapeshifters (the omnic in game) that also have the ability to shift between human and animal. All the other animals are considered prey and, therfore, eaten.

It's a natural process, simple as walking. They instinctevly learn how to do it and it's not painful at all.

The animal form is used mostly for hunting, tracking preys and to fight. The human form is used to cook, build and to mate.

They can actually try, for example, to cook in animal form, but the result won't probably be good ahah

Being mostly carnivorous or omnivoous, they mostly survive by hunting preys. They mostly cook their food even if it's not uncommon for a loner to eat raw meat in animal form. There are some that are vegetarian by choice and, even if their animal form might be a carnivore animal, they are not affected by the lack of meat in their diet.

They conjure clothes on themselves, kinda like magic.

A shifter can decide what to wear and create it over itself like a layer of coating. The conjured clothes feels real and can be touched but they’re more aesthetic than anything. Tracer goggles, for example, are conjured and not useful.

They DO NOT mold metals but they do use a lot of natural materials like clay, wood, stone and pelts.

They can also use the fire to cook their food :D

Natural remedies and a lot of medical herbs. They can make needles out of bones to sew and use fire to cauterize. Lucio is also a big supporter of "healing with positive thinking" ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ🌺
