Trace

A mysterious shadow wolf with an equally shadowy backstory, <???> awoke one day in a pile of shattered crystal with a mind feeling like a blank canvas, smudged and stained by poorly-erased charcoal, and a body feeling like wet sand, surrounded by a gathering of sleeping void-black wolves. Fleeing on little more than instinct, Trace failed to recognize himself as one of the same until he had managed to calm down.

As one of a normally feral variety of changeling, most "sane" people assume that Trace is yet another monster and either attempt to kill him, run him out of town, or place a bounty on his head. All poor Trace wants to do is figure out what in the world happened to him and when he can take on a less lame nickname.

Job: Semi-Lone Wolf
Unable to go elsewhere due to being taken as a monster, Trace has taken to wandering the area around Old Peregrine out of boredom. People have started becoming used to his occasional presence, as the rumor of a local ranger taming a wolf made of shadows spread like wildfire in the absense of better news.

Liquid Form
Trace's default states are a nondescript silhouette in casual clothes, and a large wolf with razor-sharp teeth, but either can be molded like wet sand if he so chooses. Notably, he tends to start giving off ripples of shadow when upset.

Carbon-Copy
By enveloping a living creature, Trace gains the ability to shift into a perfect copy of that animal or individual as they appeared in that moment. While he has yet to use this on a living being, over time he's collected a fair number of wildlife disguises. Being enveloped in this way can be described as "standing in the middle of a lightning cloud."

Ephemeral Body
Thanks to his body having the rough consistency of a thick smog, Trace is immune to piercing or slashing attacks, and significantly less susceptible to blunt force; enough pressure on a small area (such as the edge of a knife) results in the weapon going right through him. Unfortunately, this also means that he's far more susceptible to magic attacks.

Amber Vision
Trace can see perfectly in the dark, his form being attuned to a lack of light. In return, his eyes always appear to glow brighter than the light around them, making the changling easy to pick out of a crowd no matter what shape he takes.
