!! LEGENDARY ALT FORMS !! - Updated 03/06/24

Once you have a Legendary Kin, that isn't the end of their story -- there's still room for them to grow and change, to take on additional powers so that they can explore the swamp and beyond to its full extent.

How this manifests depends on which type of Legendary they have become.

ASCENDED

Ascended Legendaries can take on the form of a familiar. The details of this form and how it manifests and functions were detailed when first becoming a Legendary kin.

Over time and growth, they can attain new forms to don on their journey through the swamp; these often reflect the appearance of the legendary and are subject to the same varied manifestations of the original familiar form.


SUBVERTED

Subverted Legendaries can take on a shadowy shape; how this manifests and functions was detailed when first becoming a Legendary kin.
Over time and growth, they can accrue shadowy familiars to do their bidding. These are not natural animals of the swamp and can be capricious; sometimes, they will obey their summoner, and sometimes, they will not. The older and more familiar with their powers a legendary becomes, the more likely they are to respect them.

These familiars cannot speak and do not need to sleep or eat. Their summoner can look through their eyes for up to ten minutes daily, but any longer will result in headaches and nausea.

FORMS

If you have achieved these requirements, please fill out the following form and post it in this thread:

New Form: Jackalope
Permission: Thanks to elvy!
Link to RPs: Blessing 1, Blessing 2 (solo), Blessing 3, Blessing 4
Meeting RP: Jackalope meeting
Dream: Jackalope dream
Reasoning: While the side of Sleepless dedicated to scientific inquiry is methodical and pragmatic like her spider soul, the side of Sleepless that is filled with social anxiety and yet yearning for companionship is just like the rabbity jackalope, wary and skittish, but soft and cuddly, seeking the warmth of another. And just like the jackalope, in the very depths of her heart, she is a wild thing of the Swamp, wading into the darkest parts of the green for all it has to offer, their shared antlers gleaming wet-slicked in the mire.

Meeting RP: Stargarden owns a jellyfish named Pain.
Dream: The Battle of Sight
Reasoning: Stargarden constantly seeks to return to his place in the sky, and to do so he can't remain on the ground. Jellyfish float, and there is also a sort of aloof kinship jellyfish find in Stargarden. Both are always moving with the tides of the day, and never plan where they're going next.

Meeting RP: New Aspirations
Dream: Renewed, Refreshed
Reasoning: Giveforward is kindness and in this she is tactile. The songbird has taken her to new heights but she longs now to touch those who need reassurance, who need love. She revels in the smallness of these creatures and finds their horns a signature of difference that she has felt since birth.

Meeting RP:This is the RP she meets her shuppy in
Dream: Dreamtime
Reasoning: A shuppy form would wrap Fish's love of fishing into a form of pure joy. The playful nature of shuppies and their predatory duality really vibes with Fish's worldview and personality.

Permission: n/a

Meeting RP: n/a; Breach owns both types of Whale Shark
Dream: Dive Deep
Reasoning: The founder of the whale sharks, Breach has kept them to herself for a short while. She has learned their behaviors and revels in the ability to dive deep or float in the air as needed. The gentle ones are more solitary than their rugged counterparts and she has yet to find a pod that the rugged seem to form. She wants to explore the ocean to new extremes and bring back new discoveries, something no other form will provide.

Meeting RP: Growing Teeth
Dream: Mother Knows Best
Reasoning: Swans are beautiful but, sometimes, life deserves a little more bite. She does well enough striking fear into the hearts of the foolish and pathetic as a swan but she's more ferocious, more dangerous, than this bitchy form allows. She is an awe of the feathered serpent; it's teeth and feathers. It's beautiful and terrifying; so, too, is she. It's the perfect mother bear and mother lion but an extra stroke of terror.

Meeting RP:She owns a minibear named Salmon-Catcher.
Dream: Bear Down
Token: Yes
Reasoning: The wildlife in the Swamp isn’t the same as wildlife in the mountains. Oh sure, the eagles are- but the Totoma brought those with them. Bears in the mountains are a true threat, massively large and dangerous. But here? They’re… small. And cute. And absolute terrors if you corner them. To Real Big Fish, a bear’s way of seeing the world is both predatory and protective at the same time. It’s a shape that reflects the bridging of mountain and Swamp, much like her.

Permission: n/a
Link to RPs: Blessing #01 Blessing #02 Roleplay #01
Meeting RP: n/a; Breach owns both types of Whale Shark
Dream: Bonds Come Slowly
Token: Yes
Reasoning: The founder of the whale shark species, Breach has come to determine that she is no longer a lone fish in the ocean. Instead she is one of many and like the rugged whale sharks, she is in search of her own pod to help raise and tame these splendid creatures. It has taken her years to realize that she is, in fact, a social creature who needs friends and family and companionship. And now, with this realization, she sees the rugged whale shark for more than the predator it is but for the family it chooses to remain with. This has spurred her to create her own family, of existing friends and siblings and children, of newfound friends and future family members, that will be a tribe, a pod.

Meeting RP: The Embodiment of Wind
Dream: Absolute Curiosity
Token: Yes!
Reasoning: Stargarden is enamored with the night sky and the stars, always seeking a place of his own among them. He very well can't dance with the stars while on the ground, and so he finds familiarity in creatures that can fly in many shapes and forms. Fairy dragons are free and playful, much like Stargarden. Observing the dragons, Stargarden has taken a shine to how protective of their family they are, just like him.

Reasoning: Travels is a wandering spirit much like a floating jellyfish as both go where the wind take them. He sees within the jellyfish greater access to adventures to be had and places to explore for the moth is vulnerable and the world is less forgiving to it. He wants more than it can currently offer, to deep beneath the water's surface and to float even higher than wings will allow. And he's never let anything tether him before.[/spoiler]
