An invisible force surrounds him, unseen and unnoticed by all but a supernatural eye is a monstrous beast with a long weasel-like body. Adorned with long sharp claws and gnashing teeth it is aggressive in protecting its host and lashes out when threatened.
-------------------
The yokai Kazarisu is shaped like a long-furred body animal, similar to that of a weasel of some kind. Stretching to be around 1 foot long ending with two short legs on one end and a head on the other, its paws are long sharp claws that can easily hook into and slash at prey. The beast has a white coloration to it with a black-tipped tail, and eyes of shimmering blue, and inspects anything that comes close as it hides itself on Ricter.
Interestingly enough, no one can see it, touch, or even feel it- until it's threatened. The only time you know it's there is when someone attempts to bring harm to its host, in which it will attack with its claws or teeth, aiming to blunt the damage somewhat but also return the favor so to speak. The counterattack feels very real, and those who do so will simply feel small cuts, slashes, or bites along their body.
Anyone with with heightened senses can tell something is around him, those who investigate with supernatural abilities further will notice a hazy outline of something. The monster does not give off an evil aura, more neutral, at the same time it doesn't look to harm the person it's wrapped around either. However, when his host is damaged they work to stop the bleeding in some way, using its supernaturally healing saliva to seal wounds.

Haley's form immediately morphs into the body of Whitney, a scraggly grey humanoid creature. Whitney is a quiet and skulking creature standing at only 4ft tall with elongated limbs great for clambering around stealthily. Most people will be disturbed or grossed out at Whitney's appearance.

Your body is adapted to Stealth. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to Stealth.

Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you.
