KnightsNarrows needs more 'yena?

[aldabeyoun]

I don't mind horrors from beyond, that's just par for the course, yeah? But, being stuck in one shape, that's just not on. Not fuckin' on, man.

[Anders gives this a moment of serious thought. Largely because he has no aptitude for this branch of magic, he's never been particularly curious about shapeshifting, though he does recall someone who wanted to be a dragon.] How d'you generally use your ... hyena powers? Does it go beyond combat applications?

[aldabeyoun]

Kiddo, I don't fight. I can't even throw a punch.

That would be something, to see a hyena throwing a punch. They've got great paws, right? Like a really skinny mabari hound, but with a lion face ... [His idea of a hyena relies heavily upon stylized manuscript illustrations perused in the Circle library.] And a sort of a serrated dorsal crest?

Really, if you ever did decide to change your approach and develop some shapeshifter fighting techniques, Hyena Punch has a ring to it.

[Thoughtfully:] So if you don't fight as a hyena, what do you do? [Besides possibly eating people, but he seems a friendly enough fellow.]

Something like that.

I study, pay my bills, and patch up the undead. Not a lot of people in that line of work, eh?

((Totes fine!))

[birdhousesoul]

But ... how do you do those things ... as a hyena. I mean, I'm a healer, and I think I'd have a hard time without —

— I'm sorry, I think I misheard you. Patch up the undead?

[aldabeyoun]

Usually, I do them while looking human, but I'm always the same person whatever shape I'm in.

And, yeah, undead. Vampires, mostly, but there's a couple others out there that need a nip and tuck.
