That also opens up a whole new area of role-play, because suddenly this person is in this new body, and trying to adapt. Â One of the things that maybe irks me most is people who transition to a new body with a drastically different mass and form and are totally comfortable inside that new body. Â There's no period of awkwardly getting used to their new height, or horns/ears/tails (where applicable).
It's a great opportunity to grapple with themes such as racial identity, identity of self, and how much of physical appearance makes a person who they are.Â
I really like your echo explanation  there could be a mass ripple of echo that displaced people in mass all at once. I think I might use that as my head canon to make sense of things on an IC level. Thanks!
