WITCH AU.
shiro gains the white streak in his hair at a young age. it’s a space witch thing; it’s said they’re touched by stardust.
over time, shiro’s hair becomes all white - this isn’t something that happens to all space witches - and it happens more rapidly as he regains touch with his magic.
in his wolf form, shiro undergoes the same changes. he begins with a black coat of fur with a distinct white marking on his forehead and, over time, his fur becomes fully white.
once he’s reconnected with his magic again, at night one can sometimes see soft glimmers of light in his hair / fur, bearing a resemblance to stars in the sky.
rather than wolfman creatures, werewolves are simply large werewolves when transformed. by large, i mean a bit bigger than a full grown tiger. with head fully raised, they can stand the same height as some humans.
during the full moon, werewolves lose themselves and become aggressive beasts.
due to his being a space witch, shiro has a connection to the moon. because of this, he can fight against his curse to not completely lose himself to the werewolf mind for the night. it’s difficult, given how his magic is suppressed, but it becomes easier after months and months of practice.
dox is the one who suggests that he try to fight because of his nature as a space witch. shiro didn’t even think about it.
werewolves can shift as they please except, of course, on the full moon when they’re forced into wolf form.
shifting is a painful experience in the beginning, but one grows used to it the more it’s done.
shiro spends the majority of his time in wolf form.
dox creates a prosthetic arm for shiro, made from plants, bones, and magic. it is rather off-putting too look at, particularly as glimpses of bone can be caught now and then, most often in the fingers. the arm changes form with him when he shifts.
some of the space witch specific abilities shiro is capable of are:
hearing the universe. it’s a difficult thing to explain, but essentially he can gather positions of planetary bodies, etc. and have some degree of… not future sight, but an idea of possible future happenings (this is me taking inspiration from the ideas of astrology)
moving himself from one area in the universe to another, aka teleportation. this begins small but if worked on, he could theoretically travel as far as other planets.
some degree of gravity control??? ability wip.
able to breathe in the vacuum???
i’m still working on these lmao
