[size=8]Hi, everyone! Here will be our spirit animal plotting thread. You can list all your ideas and we can all build on them, and in the end, we can choose the developed plot we most like through a poll. :)
The idea is that for a couple weeks or so after Halloween, all the hitchhikers will find/shift into their spirit animal. You might be thinking, what? How can an animal have another animal for its spirit? Well, that is a good question, but why do humans think they are the only ones who can have spirit animals? c: Animals sometimes feel (in the Warriors world, at least) that they aren't suited to be a certain species. This event can be an opportunity for them to connect to their true animal forms.
Here are some of my own ideas:
1. Your Hitchhiker can become their spirit animal physically. Say, if the spirit animal was a polar bear, your cat would physically shift into that animal for as long as the event lasts. They would have the same diet and feelings as a polar bear would, and even think as a polar bear, if you want that. Or they could think like cats and speak in cat.
2. Your Hitchhiker doesn't turn into another animal. However, the spirit animal of your animal will appear as a spirit in a semi-transparent hologram-type figure and will be by their side for as long as the event lasts.
3. The Hitchhiker can acquire some qualities of the spirit animal, but will not become the animal.
