Transformations
Transformations in the Merlot ARPG.
These apply a special alternate form to your character. Learn more by visiting the Information page.
Beast Form (Event) |
Your character gains a secondary form, or transforms permanently. This form resembles their normal form, but they gain beastly traits. The look and presentation of this form can vary (within reason). Their traits can optionally change in this beast form to any of these “beast” themed traits for free, or you can purchase and apply any non themed traits to appear in this form only:
For an example of a beast form, look at Edgar.
You can change your character's palette when they transform.
Devil Form (Event) |
Your character gains a secondary form, or transforms permanently. This form resembles their normal form, but they gain devilish traits. You can pick and choose any of these traits to apply to their devil form for free, or you can purchase and apply any non themed traits to appear in this form only:
For an example of a devil form, look at Agnes.
You can change your character's palette, as well as optionally change your character's markings to any of these: stripes, ember “flecks”, light freckling
Bewitching Form (Event) |
Your character gains a secondary form, or transforms permanently. This form resembles their normal form, but they gain bewitching traits. Their traits can optionally change in this form to any of these “bewitching” themed traits for free, or you can purchase and apply any non themed traits to appear in this form only:
For an example of a bewitching form, look at Anwir.
You can change your character's palette, as well as optionally change your character's markings to any of these: mask/face marks, sock markings, dress markings, clothes-looking markings
Sugar Rush Form (Event) |
Your character gains a secondary form, or transforms permanently. This form resembles their normal form, but they gain saccharine traits. Their traits can optionally change in this form to any of these “sugar rush” themed traits for free, or you can purchase and apply any non themed traits to appear in this form only:
For an example of a sugar rush form, look at CMY.
You can change your character's palette, as well as optionally change your character's markings to any of these: swirls, stars, carnival stripes, freckles, piebald marks, bullseye spots, polka dots, Lace marks, syrup marks.
Toy Form (Event) |
Your character gains the ability to transform back and forth between their normal form and that of a toy. This differs from strange texture and other similar traits, as their body can undergo a large swath of changes that can fundamentally change their anatomy as it currently stands.
For example, your character could have button eyes if they turned into a plush, and their body could become segmented if they would turn into a marionette or action figure, etc.
The acceptable forms for this trait are at the mods' discretion, but generally, they should at least resemble the original character, and shouldn't be something absurd.
(Your character couldn't turn into a wooden block or RC car, but they could become a wooden doll, or have flashing lights or wheels attached to their feet.)
Winter Coat (Event) |
Your character gains the property to shift between their normal coat color and style and into a "winter" coat instead. Despite the association with winter, the coat color can be any shade of white, gray, light brown, or mid-black, it doesn't have to be white! Bright hues or other colors aren't allowed for this trait, natural tones only.
Your character's winter coat can optionally become fluffier. Their markings have to stay the same, but there is some leeway with how fur growth can change the war the markings are drawn.
Curse of the Snowman (Event) |
It seems like Noel Kwee wasn't the only one who found this curse.
Your character becomes afflicted with the Curse of the Snowman, transforming into a golem of snow and ice.
- Your character becomes made out of snow.
- Their eyes and certain body parts may become replaced with some or all of these things:
- Carrots
- Coal
- Twigs
- Leaves
- Dirt
- Your character can appear as if they are melting, or even have icicles dripping off of them.
- Other "snowman-like" themes and traits may apply. Feel free to ask if you have an idea.
If you're unsure if your idea is valid, feel free to ask.
