Salmacis - Profile and Kinks

[funwithscience]

Salmacis is a water nymph shapeshifter and trickster who delights in playing with people's desires. Sexual desires are some of the most interesting, of course, but she also manages a cake shop for days when she wants to have a relaxing bask in gluttony instead. One of her favorite games is swapping bodies with someone, changing a target's sex, or using hallucinations and trickery to expose hidden desires. She rarely desires to be cruel, mostly just to mess with people, but rarely takes responsibility for the brief chaos she puts in others' lives.

Age and Origins: Unknown (but definitely 'adult').

Power Set
Note: All powers that affect others are temporary, usually wearing off within the hour. While Salmacis can 'refresh' the changes and restart the clock she prefers not to. After an hour it just gets dull.

Shapeshifting: Salmacis can change her body shape and does so quite frequently. Physically her sex can be male, female, some mix of both, or something inhuman enough that those terms don't matter. Her pronouns are "she/her/hers" regardless of what she happens to look like at the time, but she is uncomfortable staying in the same shape for too long. She has no 'true form' that she knows of.
Shifting Others: Salmacis can also change the shape of others temporarily, and particularly delights in swapping around sex or sexual characteristics. Sometimes it's for actual sex, sometimes it's just to be confusing to them.
Desire Shifting: While Salmacis's hypnotism abilities can't change a person's self-perception or personality, she can change what it is they want and how badly they want it. Example: A detail-fixated physics nerd who hates football will suddenly want nothing more than to throw the pigskin around, but remains a total nerd who won't shut up about the football's aerodynamics.
Hallucinations: Salmacis can cause people to experience realistic delusions that not only make themselves percieve to be in a different situation, but also make them accept it without question. Example: A delusion that you are at a football game will make you not only hear the roar of the crowd but also forget that you didn't actually decide to go to a football game today.

Note: Salmacis is based on, but not the same person as, the mythological being featured in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
