I ask what they think human is, so the differences between humans and Shapeshifters can be recognized once they start playing the game. That no humans have ever learned of shapeshifters before makes the game harder. Vampires and werewolves are not like most humans. Garlic, crosses, crossing running water, even when pretending to be a live human a vampire can be sussed out. Werewolves and the touch of silver too. Not to mention a monthly full moon tends to leave consequences, even if the player character doesn't remember any of it and is told they wake up with no clothes, full of mud in a forest. They can suss it out. That's what I think you're asking here. What makes a shapeshifter actually a shapeshifter even when in the shape of a human? How can they learn they are different from humans? How can they discover that they should concentrate or control these unusual abilities? What resources are there to learn about others who might have these abilities? Or at least others who have heard of shapeshifters.</blockquote>
