I want these stinking snakes off the stinking ship!
The Slizzar as a race, continue to be a cornerstone of both lore, as well as general concept design, but suffer severe unpopularity as well as difficulty to play due to their historical background. They were always supposed to fulfill a niche, that has slowly been degrading due to upgrades to other forms of shape shifting like Magic or Religion. As such, the Slizzar have faced their second Creative Content Expansion. A summary of all changes:
  • Defined a more stricter color spectrum for the hair. Previously the language sort of implied that Slizzar could have any combination of colors, including rainbow hair. The strict color pattern has been limited to primary and secondary colors now, for clarity.
  • Shifting time was reduced from 10 seconds to 3 seconds to make it less disruptive to the flow of RP.
  • Shifting limitations have all been broken. What this exactly means is more obvious in the Fully Shifted Form.
  • Half-Shifted Shape allows the Slizzar to gender bend where wanted, regardless of original gender.
  • Fully-Shifted Shape can now be applied to every race, except Url. It is further also dictated by a person used as a Template, after which the Slizzar can shape shift into what this person considers the "most attractive" or "most alluring". This is aimed to make the Slizzar be able to tailor their seductive power to a person specifically, but generally also widens the Slizzar designs. Previously Slizzar only had a single Fully Shifted Shape. Now, Slizzar can just change the template daily, and change their Fully Shifted Shape accordingly, essentially having infinite possibilities.
    • This allows them to break gender limitations.
    • This allows them to break Body Shape limitations.
    • This allows them to break hair/skin color limitations.
    • This allows them to break height limitations.
  • Changed some of the wording on the Mental Characteristics that would allow limited cooperation between Slizzar, as opposed to a permanent hate complex between them all.
  • Mental Characteristic Sensation Surge now affects all races, and breaks through all magic bars, including the Drowdar magic immunity or other magic shielding.
  • Added another Mental Characteristic called Shimmering Scales and Eyes, which causes the telltale Slizzar attributes in their Fully Shifted form (such as scales on the forehead, cheekbones, shoulders, spine, and the eyes) to be experienced as "beautiful" regardless of who looks at them or finds these traits repulsive. This makes it so that IRP, nobody is ever bothered by the scales or eyes, and finds them quite beautiful instead.

I'm just going to go out there and say this. It's a LOT harder to play a Slizzar when there's a guard with a lot of reputation wanting to kill you. But, uh, 10/10 updates, I think I'll try to play one =)
 
Can Slizzar remember previous templates, or is only one accessible in memory full stop? Additionally, is the template completely limited to what someone else likes, or could a Slizzar change form to something they wanted?
 
I was already making a slizzar but this is awesome! I've always liked shapeshifters and having the ability to fully shape shift as you please (for the most part) is amazing!
 
If they don't shift like Mystique from Xmen, I'm disappoint ;P

I feel like this is an important question
Can Slizzar remember previous templates, or is only one accessible in memory full stop? Additionally, is the template completely limited to what someone else likes, or could a Slizzar change form to something they wanted?

The wording on the wiki should make it obvious that this is not the case. a Slizzar can only fully shift to one template at a time, and while it is possible to switch back to an old template by re-focussing on a person done before, a Slizzar cannot just switch to whatever template they like until they have re-focused on the person who the Template came from, with a rough cooldown of once a day.

Is there a limit to what a Slizzar can surge? For example;

Can they Surge someone and make them feel pain? Or such as making them loose feeling in a limb?
