Homebrew Weapon Shifters Species Details

A long time ago, when the demi-god Izanagi fell, the god Hikari despaired, seeing the only thing he had left of his mortal life taken from him.. his other friends who had became gods had died.. and from this tragedy, The Sword Isles was born, Hikari turned Izanagi's blade into a continent, and with it came new races.

 

The Sword is Mightier then a Regular Sword

Weapon Shifters are known for their odd ability to become a weapon, in a very literal sense.. this makes them a deadly combo with Ashiens, to the point most Weapon Shifters and Ashiens attempt to work together, it would not be uncommon to see a Weapon Shifter and Ashien romantically connected.

 

Strength from Bonds

Hikari saw the tragedy of the Ashiens he had made, and so he turned his old dagger into a person, once it became a human it still regained the ability to become a dagger, and its offspring gained this ability too.. this is nearly as close to being related to Hikari as possible, other then Snorps
