Hmm, I WAS gonna be a werewolf, but then I realized that I can't use my own personal brand of werewolves... sooo... hmm. Question for the GM then, can I be a skinwalker? Basically they are humans, kind of, that can transform into animals. Not quite as badass as a werewolf, but not quite as... umm... murdery when they transform.Also, if I were allowed to be a skinwalker, would I still be allowed to use magic? Or is that a human thing only/would that be too much? If I were to use magic, I'd keep it limited, more for simple utility than anything else.

I've asked the GM about something similar. As a sort of "temporal response", I'll give you her answer:

hmmmm. The idea of the RP is that magical people want to keep magical stuff quiet so a talking tiger would be very strange but not impossible maybe a better animal that shows less suspicion (dog cat etc) animal traits are fine infact a race of humans gifted with animal traits seems like a good idea. (Human with wings) Humans turning into animals can be adept magic as well. simply tell me which one you like and than PM me you cs when its done.

Of course it's up to the GM whether she's still ok with it, and this response doesn't give an answer to your last question, whether you'd still be allowed to use any other form of magic. I was about to ask that question as well, actually. :3
