It really weirds me out that people are perfectly fine icly with such a drastic change to their bodies, when there is so much good rp to be mined from 'wow, I feel completely different.'
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!
Honestly if someone were to RP out the awkwardness of the change, and having to deal with that.. I'd be completely all for it, well at least once.
Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
