Once you choose a character portrait you are stuck with it. I haven't found a way to change it yet. Not even the character editor allows that.
Use your feats to make your character more like what you want. If you want to you can choose to define your own feats at the start of character generation. You don't have to accept the options they give you. You can do the same thing with skills.
I am not sure about shapeshifting. I know that in PnP 3e rules you can shapeshift into any Natural creature. That includes Dire Creatures at higher levels. Imagion shapeshifting into a 20' tall, 1600 lb Dire Bear! Who needs a werewolf then?
