Character Critique, Three variations on a shifter Options

[Sandoval Smith]

I decided to try my hand at making a shapeshifter, building around the theme of being affable and feline-esque in his human form. I'm not particularly adept at making characters on my own, tending to go off down odd little tangents and overlooking important things. I tried makinging a mundane, a shaman, and an adept, just to see how it came out.
