Multimorphosis is an RP on the Ichimonai forums featuring loads of Shapeshifting through use of potions. Several human adventurers are sent to the land of Tragonami by some mysterious wizards and must gather some Plot Coupons for them in order to ever see their home again.
Multimorphosis provides examples of:
- Aerith and Bob: Ordinary names such as Isaac co-exist with decidedly stranger names such as Faragnia.
- Applied Phlebotinum: Magic Spikes
- Badass Preacher: The monk at the beginning of the game sets the hands of a North Korean Spec Ops soldier on fire with magic because she tried to mug him with fists.
- Body Horror: Some of the potions may induce these types of effects. Overdoses can make you a horrific monster.
- Cute Monster Girl: The game possesses many races of sentient, humanoid beings, and many of them are very pretty.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: There's a Drill Sergeant named Nasty, Literally.
- Expy:
- Ayina is a maid assassin with platinum hair. That's an awful lot similar to a certain maid from Touhou Project.
- There's a mysterious witch in the plains at night that looks and behaves exactly like Yuuko.
- The owner of the potion shop, 'Gate of Franken' clearly has that Okabe Rintarou vibe.
- There is Cotton. Cotton Ze Wizardo. He owns a magic spike shop.
- General of the defunct army, leader of the City Guards, Spitfire. This one is probably the most obvious.
- Magic A Is Magic A: Crystal magic works this way.
- Metamorphosis: It’s in the name.
- Ninja Maid: Maid Ayina by day, Assassin Ayina by night.
- Optional Sexual Encounter: There's a NSFW Thread for sexual roleplay, (an evil plot conceived by Potestas to get everyone to cyber with him through fetish-fulfilling NPC proxies.)
- Our Elves Are Different: Not really, these elves are more understated than most examples. Not immortal, for one thing.
- Our Goblins Are Different
- Our Monsters Are Different: There are a large number of creatures, although most are as you expect them to be.
- Painful Transformation: Present and accounted for!
- Power Crystal: what fuels the magic on Tragonami. In fact, there are several types:
- Pink Magic spikes: common regular crystals with elemantal powers and healing. Their size determines their power.
- Big pink magic spikes: Huge magic spikes that recharge magic spikes that have run out of charges. They are able to be used as proxies for more powerful spells, including a various assortment of rituals. They can only be used once a day.
- Purple magic spikes: Magic spikes used by Goblin shamans in order to communicate with the dead. Cotton, the magic spike shop owner revealed they might actually work on the principle of reading one's subconscious, very accurately giving a description of an ancestor rather than actually speaking to them. That changes the workings of these magic spikes dramatically.
- Brown Magic spikes: Smaller magic spikes that, according to Cotton, can resonate with some sort of wave frequency of other magic spikes, effectively able to be used to detect them if used cleverly. Cue the Niara City magic spike plot. Apparently the city council pushed for a law that, stealthily and without people's permission, is planting these small brown magic spikes in some sort of contraption in their body.
- Yellow Magic spikes: Apparently they are magic spikes able to cast a barrier. Other than that, nothing is known.
- White magic spikes: Also known as dimensional magic spikes. They are apparently some of the rarest magic spikes, but naturally very powerful, able to bend very core principles of the laws of nature.
- Black magic spikes: Dispell magic spikes. Apparently they can be used in one way or another to cancel out magic of another magic spikes. It is not stated how.
- Shapeshifting: Pretty much one of the main points of the RP, you do it by consuming potions.
- Shrinking Violet: Anne, apparently, avoids interaction with other people and has tendencies to commit lots of animal cruelty (via mass grinding.)
- Single Phlebotinum Limit: Although not all technology is run on magic spikes, most is. And why not? It's much more convenient than anything else, with no drawbacks. Right?
- Split Personality: Senliten, though he seems to keep it under control, there's always a lot going on in his head.
- Stat Grinding / Level Grinding: Killing things for potions, yeah.
- However, doing everything but grinding will often net you way bigger bonusses.
- Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: Cotton must clearly be onto something. Combining different theories about the magic spikes told scientists around Tragonami that magic spikes send out some sort of signal between one another continuously, the big magic spikes depending on this signal to be there in order to spot whether a recharge is needed. Apparently they send a stronger signal when activated.
- Other than this however, the players know nothing. A comment has been made by an NPC that smashing a magic spike is impossible with regular tools. However....
- Superpowered Evil Side: Corruption is gained as you drink more potions, the more power you gain through them, the more corrupt you become.
