assume -- wear a stolen face (Leviathan, Ghoul, or motel Shapeshifter)

Usage: assume
       assume <name>
       facelock
       faceunlock

Shapeshifter: assume <name> copies a living person in the room (or a corpse) and wears their face. Bare assume wears a face you already banked. Mimic fuel holds the mask. Silver through the heart finishes you (help shapeshifter).
Leviathan: applies the last face stashed by consume (Devouring).
Ghoul: applies the last Visage face stashed by feast (Carrion) -- Adept+.

facelock pins your pantry face so a new steal / feast / consume cannot overwrite it. faceunlock releases the pin.

Room watchers who already knew the victim's face see the worn name.
Strangers read your short-desc until they learn that face. shed drops it. Your login name never changes. Empty Mimic or Visage auto-sheds the disguise.
