Magpie’s Selkie Set
More visually-nonhuman characters for Wildermyth, this time of a seaside persuasion!
Selkies are a type of shapeshifting cryptid of yore — large seals that live near the Orkney Isles and can shed their seal’s skin to take the shape of human women. A fisherman lucky enough (or cruel enough) to seize a selkie’s skin while she was sunbathing could make her stay on land as his bride. Presumably there are male ones too.
This pack includes two sets of whiskers and a magic sealskin made up of hair, cloak, and pauldrons. The hairs may be selected at character creation (two styles of "hood" with two hairstyles each); the cloak and pauldrons are augments.
Whiskers in your choice of light or dark turn up in a special "markings" slot added to the customization interface; you’ve got a roughly 1% chance of them turning up on background NPCs as well.
Sealskin elements are matched to the hair color, which means that they’ll pale and desaturate as your hero ages (and if you happen to meet a glowy will-o’-the-wisp who wants to mark your selkie, you will end up with a green seal).
