Any of these characters are open for changes of any sort, most of them are just vague ideas at this point. Got an idea for another shifter? Have at it. Population count of shifters is roundabouts 20,000 in Zhaltev, so there's plenty of room. Again, any question, just ask me! (also make up your own ages cause shifters are weird)
Here is the link to the World Development Page. Link! It will be updated more this weekend a little, but this is most of it.
If you wanna claim a shifter, post below! or tell me like three times in chat cause I sometimes don't pay attention all that well.
Have at ye.

Gender: f
Age: young
Race: Wolf shifter/werewolf
Character details:
Granddaughter of Sashenka Dveshiniya, current Syordana of Zhaltev
Renowned for her agility and speed
Bit of a snob when it comes to things like cleanliness and table manners – probably not the best thing in Zhaltev
Born a werewolf, not made
Character ideas:
Elitist or welcoming towards outsiders or those without a clan name?
Wants to follow in her grandmother's footsteps or steers as far away from the politics as she can?
Siblings? Who does she get along with? Friends outside Dveshiniy or no?
-------

Name: Artyom Jorvyk
Gender: m
Age: midage
Race: grizzly bear shifter
Character details:
Third in command of Jorvyk
Bloodsworn, not born to Jorvyk
Fiercely loyal to his friends and superiors
Character ideas:
Outsider who found Zhaltev? Where did he come from? How did he get there?
Born a bear shifter or made one?
Where does his loyalty spring from? Was he betrayed before?
Friendly and outgoing or reserved and aloof?
-------
Taken ALSO by Kori.
Purpose: Zhaltev things!
Name: Demyan Kharityn
Gender: m
Age: midage
Race: werewolf
Character details:
Outcast from Kharityn, but blood related and bloodsworn to them still, and ordered not to leave the city
Brother of Nadejda Kharityna, leader of Kharityn
Loved a falcon shifter outsider in defiance of Kharityn belief, fallout happened (I have a story if you'd like it and you are more than welcome to ask, but no need if you've got your own idea!)
Character ideas:
Resentful of or resigned to his fate as an outcast?
Did he attempt to make friends with another clan or anyone else after being cast out of Kharityn or is he a loner?
Keeps in contact with his sister or any old clanmates or not?
-------
Taken by Zina.
Purpose: Zhaltev things!
Name: Engar Aloo
Gender: m
Age: older
Race: sperm whale shifter
Character details:
Prosperous merchant, trades in prey animal hides and furs, salt, amber, lumber, fish
Not a clan member and proud of his independence
Lives in one of the finest houses in Zhaltev, decorated richly with amber and gold, the envy of many Zhaltevites (and he knows it)
Character ideas:
Ties with the outside world?
A whale shifter? How did that happen? Born one? Whale shifter society under the sea? Bitten by a whale and made one?
Hiding some dark secret from the Syordan and the clans?
-------
Taken by Ree.
Purpose: Zhaltev things!
Name: Jormunder Scarface
Gender: m
Age: young/midage?
Race: snow tiger shifter
Character details:
No clan
Almost feral in his actions towards other people, more tiger than human
Amazing hunter, often sells beaver, ermine, ect. pelts to Engar
Character ideas:
Does he want to be a part of a clan or is he content to be almost feral?
What made him so animalistic? Improper socialization as a child? Lack of family through the teen years?
How'd he get his scar? Most wounds on a shifter heal too quickly to scar. Did he run afoul of a wizard? Or someone with poisoned claws?
-------
Purpose: Zhaltev things!
Name: Marya Maksima
Gender: f
Age: midage/older
Race: human, witch/herbalist/magic user
Character details:
Very self-confident woman who is not afraid to zap shifters with her magic is they get too demanding, but she does try to stay in good graces with most of them
Has made a good living in Zhaltev being one of the only powerful mages
Character ideas:
Has designs on Engar...and his money?
What kind of magic does she have? Specialized healing (like for magical wounds) and potions would probably be the most useful, but what else?
Was spurned by the leader of Jorvyk and therefore is more hostile to that clan?
Not born in Zhaltev. Where did she come from?
