Inside
the Legend: Nightshifter
SN
SHIFTERS
”Okay,
let’s get something straight. It’s not a mandroid.
It’s a shapeshifter.”
The shape shifters of the
supernatural universe are a breed of their own.
The
“SN Shifter” is a shape shifter capable of
transforming itself into anyone, taking on one’s
physical appearance and vocal patterns. . "It
generates it’s own skin. It can shape it to match
someone else’s features… you know, tall, short,
or male.” These shape shifters are also capable
of taking on the memories of the body it shifts into,
in a process that resembles the Vulcan Mind-Meld.
In
order for the shape shifter to shift from one person to
the next it has to go through a painful process of shedding
its own skin. The person that it shifts into can be alive
or dead, there is no preference. "Kills them.
Doesn’t kill them. I don’t think it really
matters.” Sometimes the shifter takes its victim
to their underground lair such as the sewer systems.
“They
like to layer-up underground. Preferably the sewers.”
The
only way to easily detect a shape shifter is by its laser
eyes that appear off of a camera feed. "Same
retinal reaction to video… eyes flare at the camera.”
"It’s
human, more or less… has human drives. In this case,
it’s money.” Thus far, most shape shifters
that have appeared have turned to a life of crime whether
it be murdering young women or robbing banks to attain
money.
“This
thing was born different, hideous and hated; until he
learned to become someone else.”
"You
remember the old werewolf stories? Pretty much came from
these guys. Silver’s the only thing that kills em’.”
The
Winchesters ran into their first shape shifter in St.
Louis. This shape shifter even dared to kidnap the Winchesters
and tried to take over Dean’s life! Eventually the
Winchesters escaped and killed the shape shifter once
and for all. “Clearing” Dean from all charges
due to his otherwise apparent “death.”
The Winchester’s recently
ran into another shape shifter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This shifter was robbing banks to attain money, serving
its own greedy needs. Due to this encounter, the feds
now know that Dean is still alive and like all real life
hunters before him, he is about to face off against the
law!
MORPH
Changing from one thing
to another.
SHAPESHIFTING
Shapeshifting,
also known as transformation and transmogrification, is
a change in the form or shape of a person, especially
a change from human form to animal form or a change in
appearance from one person to another.
“Every culture in the world has a shapeshifter lore-
legends of creatures who can transform themselves into
animals or other men.” Usually, the animal involved
in the transformation is indigenous to or prevalent in
the area from which the story derives. It is worthy to
note that while the popular idea of a shapeshifter is
of a human being who turns into something else, there
are numerous myths about animals that can transform themselves
as well.
MANDROID
A
robot that looks and acts like a man. “Part man.
Part machine. Like the terminator, the kind who can change
itself, turn itself into other people. More like a Mandroid.”
TERMINATOR
2
"Part
man, part machine. Like the terminator. But the kind that
can change itself. Make itself look like other people."
A
science fiction film directed by James Cameron, starring
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong
and Robert Patrick. Two terminators arrive in Los Angeles,
a T-800 (Arnold Shwarzenegger) and a T-1000 (Robert Patrick),
one sent to protect and one sent to destroy John Connor
(Edward Furlong). The newer sleeker model, played by Robert
Patrick is constructed from “liquid metal”
and is able to take on the physical form of any solid
object of equal size that it samples through touch. It
can even copy the voice and appearance of a human being.
