Shapeshifters and changers are rare.
This isn't do to lack of trying in some circles of Fenspace. So why are they rare? Well this is do with the Wave itself. That wonderful grey goo is little too efficient for it's own good in this case. A lot of said Fen also make the mistake of trying to feed it the change aspect. The Wave IS change, it's what it does and does so with efficiency. Wave also won't create something from nothing, that is also Wave 101, It also usually doesn't make mass go away ether. You could build a werewolf costume of the right size for the Wave to work with, but you run the very great risk of it simply locking you into that appearance.
As the most common of changer mods then to be changes to minor things. Like as skin, eye, hair color and length, even their voice. Sprout 'fangs', claws, tails, and such. You see quite a few among the supernatural Fen that settled on simply being able to manifest monstrous traits at will instead of a full body change.[1]
More complex changers are rare. You start to get into things like size and shape changes. Then into actual major body changes. [[Jeph Antilles] can change gender, but remains the same height and weight. He also suffers the issue of not being fully in control. Issues like these crop up the more complex of 'Mod. [[Andrew Fauho]'s takes days to actually shift between human and anthro-fox. Trying to force it makes him flu like sick. Slow changing is actually the norm for most. [[Dakota], can quick shift, but at a cost. It takes a toll on his body's energy reserves and has to eat heavily to replenish. What renders him a Joker-ace is that he can only hold humanoid form for a limited time. Even then he retains his size, weight and animal appearance.
Very extreme end would be something like Star Trek's Changelings, which there aren't any known.[2] Some may point at [[N], but she is limited only to appearances close to her own body mass, shape, and size.
Not everyone risks a biomod in hopes of getting a changer mod. Some go with using sleaves, remotes, puppets, holograms or even in one case, garou power armor. In order to simulate being a changer. Others are related, but part of their own groups within Fenspace. Some Cybers and even the very rare Transformer like [[Wave Convoy] falls into this category.
- Notable Changers -
[[Andrew Fauho]
[[N]
[[Jeph Antilles]
[[Dakota]
[1]For vampire Fen this is perfectly fine.
[2]Doesn't stop the Trekkies from being paranoid about it.
