FAQ

Can I make a Suki?
I'm afraid the answer to that is no. There's a lot of rules and requirements that I have in place for each member, and I, unfortunately, cannot trust people to keep to these regulations I have set for myself.

Day Shifters
Sukis who transform during the day suffer from an incredible lack of sleep and socialization. During the day, children and teens attend homeschool lessons, while adults are put on guard duty around the estate, or near their homes. Day jobs are unavailable to them, and they can only work at night. Once they become human at night, they have to tend to all their human responsibilities such as nightshift jobs for some adults, cooking, cleaning, and bathing. Parents have to struggle with caring for their children as their animal, which can be incredibly difficult for some, such as snakes or spiders.

Night Shifters
Sukis who become animals at night are also subject to sleep loss, but not nearly as badly as their daytime counterparts. They cannot sleep until after their transformations are complete, and must either wake before sunrise, or be painfully awoken by their transformation. They're mildly stiffled in the socialization department as well, being unable to go out after dark to be with their friends, or work overtime.

Full Moon Shifters
Full Moon Shifters are some of the most unfortunate members of the clan. Unlikes those who turn during the day or night, they have to endure a full 24 hours in their reif. They at noon on the day before the full moon night, and return to human at noon the following day. If the full moon is Monday night, they transform Monday at exactly noon, and turn back on Tuesday, at exactly noon. Because they only take on their reif once a month (usually), they're far less used to the pain of transforming. They have a harder time shutting out the pain, and tend to respond to it more sensitively. Many of them are driven to sickness, or become unconscious when transforming, which in some cases can be dangerous. Typically, they only have to deal with transforming once a month, except for in cases where there is a blue moon, or two full moons in a single month.

New Moon Shifters
Much like Full Moon Shifters, New Moon Shifters are transformed once a month for a full 24 hours. They're also more sensitive to the pain than their Day/Night relatives. Unlike the Full Moon Shifters, however, they don't run the risk of transforming twice a month.
