We’d like to give a BIG THANKS to everyone who has come together to participate in the pre-opening hype activities. We are The Most Excited to share our lil labor of love with the world and are very much looking forward to plotting and writing with y’all~
Though we released a lot of site information on our tumblr, please definitely make sure you peep our Guidebook for extra details on lore and a very dope map of Arkney County complete with location names and descriptions.
Finally, a word on reserves. If you haven’t already, please wrap and post your things for the dev challenge. You can send us an ask here to claim your 1 extra FC or canon reserve, or drop us a line in the #moderation channel of our discord.
Those who reserved faces and subcanon roles through Tumblr hype will have 7 days to app their characters and can request extensions as needed.
And finally, as you get to exploring Meta, please let us know if you experience any issues with the skin/site/discord so we can see to them accordingly. We hope you enjoy!
When I look at my hands and my fingerprints, I can see them moving. If I let you go, and you tied me to a chair and cut me open, are my insides gonna move like my fingerprints?

A small glimpse at the skin for Metamorphoses, including Board Index, Forum Rows, Post Row, Mini Profile, Main Profile, and a sneak-peek into our Guidebook.
Metamorphoses’ member groups are based on a modified version of so-called close encounters—a scale devised to measure just how close one has come to seeing, touching, or experiencing life from somewhere other than Earth.
The groups reach from first kind to fourth and are based on a character’s level of interaction and, in a way, contamination by the matter from the Impact that formed the Novum Stretch. How often and how intensely they have come in contact with the phenomena determines their degree or “kind,” and the degrees, like people, are inherently changeable, depending on what happens to your character over time.
Remember that awareness does not equal a higher degree of encounter. A character may have all the facts and seen the evidence printed out in front of them, but as long as they are beyond the Stretch’s reach, they are untouched. Time spent in the towns will have an impact, but a concentrated brush with the fog can spur even a newcomer to reach a higher degree.
FIRST KIND
The inexplicable and unnatural wonders of our towns have yet to pay you a visit, or perhaps you are the visitor here? The new kid on the block can brush it all off as foolish and absurd, but only for so long. What matters now is how the Impact will leave its mark on you. Will you let it in?
POSSIBILITIES: A newly hired deputy learning the ropes, a former local returning home after decades away, a relocated family looking to settle down, a tourist wanting a selfie with ET.
SECOND KIND
The tendrils of change have begun to form, can you feel them? Perhaps not, for the ones of the second degree are not known for seeking out the change. You have been on Arkney soil for some time, but the shimmer is still only in the corner of your eye. Turn to face it, it’s calling.
POSSIBILITIES: Bellmore locals who don’t venture "over the tracks", a journalist unraveling the mysteries, a hard-working school teacher who fears the rumors of the crash are true.
THIRD KIND
You have seen how light refracts and dances on the wall of fog, haven’t you? Does the low howling in the dead of night petrify you, or does it lure you in? The edge of what is true is so close; right there at the tips of your fingers. Go ahead, reach out. It’s too late to turn back now.
POSSIBILITIES: Someone who dared to sneak past Morphos walls, a security guard patrolling the Whisperwood Forest, a single mom raising her kids at Sunflower Court.
FOURTH KIND
However you tilt your head, wherever the sun bears down, the mingling of you and the Stretch is unmistakable. You have it in your cells now. You have breathed it in and the separation is past rectifying. Infection is an ugly word. Changing, evolving, growing; it is all in the eye of the beholder.
POSSIBILITIES: A member of the expedition teams, one of the children exposed to the substance in the accident, a Genesis veterinarian whose subject left a bitemark.
