Beck's change point is going to be that instead of Faerie, he was assigned Slime instead! Here's a rundown of how that's changed things, as well as a reference pic!
It takes color influence from this piece of concept art from Far From Home.
Mandatory Changes ● Amorphous body. Slimes lack bones and other rigid structures through most—if not all—of their body, and can shape themselves as they see fit. Their default, "relaxed" shape may be that of a human, an animal, an object, any hodgepodge thereof, or no structured shape at all. However, they may have difficulty carrying their weight on narrow supports, so Slimes rarely opt for legged forms. ● A translucent body. Slime forms are semitransparent, so while you can see a person inside the Slime being digested, you wouldn't be able to see the person hiding behind them. ● Brightly colored slime, in any color. ● Ability to shapeshift. Slimes can adjust the shape and perceived size of their form. They may remove limbs or give themselves new ones, compress or expand their fluid to change apparent size, or take on the shape of something else. Slimes cannot gain abilities this way — shapeshifted wings are incapable of flight, for example. Their overall mass does not change regardless of appearance, and so become weaker and less stable the bigger they get. ● A nucleus. This serves as the "brain" or the "core" of the Slime and take any form, with the following restrictions: - The nucleus can be located anywhere within their body, and can move from place to place. - The nucleus is much less resilient than the rest of the Slime. If it is pierced or destroyed, the Slime will lose cohesion and die. - The nucleus is between 2" and 6" inches in diameter, but cannot change size. ● High tolerance to physical harm. Since Slimes generally lack bones, muscles, and often skin, they are incredibly difficult to hurt through brute force. ● Slimes can regain lost or destroyed slime over the period of 1-3 weeks. During the fog, this time is reduced to 24 hours. ● "Puddle" form. Shapeshifting allows a Slime to become completely flat—including their nucleus—in order to slip under doors, through cracks, or into other small openings. ● The need to consume the fluids of humans. This can be blood, water, lymph, and/or other liquids found within the body.
Optional Changes ● Stealth form: the ability to take the form of a slug or a snail. In this form, the character will look like a normal slug/snail and will be able to blend into their surroundings most effectively. However, they will also be more vulnerable and will find it difficult to move around without assistance. ● Weakness to water. Slimes will dissolve when submerged in water, while being hit with water makes it difficult for them to maintain body cohesion. They become nervous and fearful when near standing water, and are paranoid about rainfall.
How things changed: -His resurrection at Lake Dala was more traumatizing, as he tried not to dissolve in the lake. As a faerie, he was merely waterlogged. This time? He nearly mcate it upon coming back to life, and was more shaken. -He ran into Chiaki Nanami, Tawna Bandicoot, and a past version of Ingo who were kind to him after his resurrection. Considering slimes are way less humanoid than fairies.... yeah. His ego got crunched a little harder, and he was more surprised/grateful that people looked at him and went 'yeah, I'll help him out.' Holds tighter onto his relationships, is vocal about that gratefulness. Steven Grant is also included in that! -No baking as a coping mechanism :( He did, however, take further to the embroidery/sewing that Tawna taught him, as it helped him learn how to NOT absorb small things or fabric. He'll still goop things sometimes, but he's worked to gain some control. He tends to modify clothing. -Little more civic minded! He's seen what Chiaki Nanami can do as a slime, and has started tentatively trying to make changes like they aspire to. So far, that's getting involved with HEARTH a bit more, and poking around the Lighthouse going '...Ya need some monster clothes? I have some.' It's tentative, but he's trying! -Has a shakier set of boundaries when it comes to popping in on his friends. He'll goop underneath a door rather than use a key, cause fuck it! It saves him time and he doesn't accidentally eat another key! Win-win! -Vaguely wistful for a stable form again, but thinks it's awesome he can have a third arm if he needs one in a pinch. That's kinda nice! -All in all, more earnest, a bit more emotionally vulnerable, and wants to maintain his friendships EXTRA HARD. He's thrived because of others' kindness, and is willing to acknowledge that without much shame.
