Vagrant Shifter
SteamIn your world, everyone is made for a purpose. Yours is delivering goods. Shortly after your creation, and wrapped up in conspiracy, you and a pair of revolutionaries are forced to flee your home world. Escaping through a portal, you crash land on an unfamiliar planet.
From there the quest is simple: Explore this new land, find your companions, and return home. Though you may find "home" isn't all it was cracked up to be.
To help you survive, you were given a single piece of advice: Find a corpse.
Making new personalities isn't free - some things have to be recycled. Though, usually they're better at blurring out any specifics. As you explore, you'll discover not just the person you are, but also the people you used to be.
You can't expect to grow if you never try new things. Explore the world, play games, help people, solve puzzles, uncover mysteries, & try new foods. Those are the experiences that matter. You never know what you'll learn.
In a twist on the classic turn-based combat formula, the position of your foes matter. Push enemies around, aim your strikes, and send them running. Some skills will produce different effects depending on where enemies are in relation to where they land. Just, don't expect them to sit still.
Your species are able to shape themselves. Usually this is limited to specific shapes, but you aren't exactly usual. Learn new forms, and new ways to interact with your environment. Jump gaps, climb walls, smash obstacles, press buttons, and dig through the ground.
