Description and History: Werewolves, much like vampires -creatures they have been known to war with for thousands of years - have no ties or loyalties to another species. They were never known to exist as the underlings of angels, or demons, or the gods. For the most part, the werewolves have lived alongside and within the human realm. Most live human lives, with human jobs and personal lives. They tend to obey human law. Aside from rogues, they mostly even try desperately to get a handle on the shifting so they don’t harm another human. While they obey the human law, there is a higher power they all answer to. Their alpha. It’s fairly rare to find a lone wolf, and when stumbled across, they’re usually a result of being abandoned or removed by their pack, or by having their pack killed. The alpha is royalty to the wolves. They make the rules the pack lives along and while not everyone likes it, they all obey it. As opposed to how most species tend to obey one royal, there are several alphas all over the world, running their various packs. Some packs are small, some are on the larger side but they all share the common instinct to obey their leader. As for the history of werewolves, it’s hard to say their roots. Some say ancient goddesses blessed them, others say they were men who committed horrible acts and whose bodies contorted into beasts to match their acts. The truth is, werewolves existed before man for years. There was a time where more shapeshifters existed than men. A time where the beasts roamed wild but maintained a symbiotic relationship with their neighbors. Over time, bloodlines got watered down by intermingling with humans, to the point there was so little werewolf that those watered bloodlines couldn’t shift. Other wolves were killed by jealous humans, or angry humans. Some even turned on each other. There were no history books to tell the stories, though sometimes, such stories are still whispered among campfires: the bloody ending to the tale used to scare little children into behaving. Psychology: The psychological profile of a werewolf is quite similar to that of a human, in almost all and every aspect of it. They share very few differences in things like mood and other emotional tendencies. However, werewolves are more prone to things like anger. Those emotions tend to be more advanced. Most werewolves also tend to linger on having very hair trigger esqe emotions. They don’t feel things quite as intensely as vampires, but most of their emotions are slightly heightened and tend to end up translating into rage. They are also known to be slightly more impulsive than the typical human, which is what leads to the werewolf attacks. Werewolves are more attuned with their gut feelings than most humans as well. Though this isn’t always the best thing for them. Appearance: Werewolves look just like humans. They’ve got the typical humanoid structure on a day to day basis. The only difference between them and a regular human is not something that someone would see and immediately think “werewolves”. They tend to be more muscular in their human form. They’re not always entirely buffed out, but they do tend to be toned, which more than often shows in their form. Like phases of the moon, there are varying phases of shifting. The first for them is yellow/golden eyes, something that can even shine through in their human form if they lose control of themselves. They can also develop claws, which are the second to appear in a shifting. Usually, any further half forms are achieved by stronger, more powerful werewolves. Such as extension and sharpening of the canines. Occasionally, fur will also start to grow from their skin. Such as on the backs of their necks. These are all varying stages of what’s known as a “half form”. Their full form can only be obtained on a full moon. This is a complete shift into a wolf. All coat colors follow the typical coat colors of a regular wolf. They are also slightly larger than the common wolf. Weaknesses: Like shapeshifting is the most common known ability of werewolves, silver is their most commonly known weakness. To them, silver is a poison. It can kill them immediately if the weapon is put somewhere lethal. Say if they were stabbed in the stomach by a silver blade, they’re likely to die. Or if their throat is cut. Because silver impedes their ability to heal and poisons them simultaneously, wounds that would not mean loss of life become mortal injuries. However, some werewolves manage to regenerate or get help fast enough that they can recover. The easiest way to ensure a werewolf will die from a silver weapon is stabbing them in the heart. From external exposure alone, their skin will burn and sizzle from contact with the metal, much like a demon will react to holy water. Other less popularly known weaknesses are mountain ash and wolfsbane. They will both result in a similar burning sensation to silver, but are not as deadly if ingested. The ingestion in high doses may put them into a coma like sleep, and in low doses knock them out and cause intense pain. They’re capable of falling prey to mind manipulation tactics of creatures such as demons. Even though they tend to have stronger wills than a human, they’re still vulnerable to such powers. Decapitation and fire will also bring death to them. They can fall victim to some human illnesses, and can also die from old age. Werewolves are slaves to their emotions as well, and fall victim to heightened emotions, which often will end up bringing on things like half-turnings. Abilities: Werewolves most obvious and of course well known ability is to shapeshift. Their ability is very much attuned with the cycle of the moon. While some powerful werewolves can access a half form, it’s practically unheard of for any wolf to be able to fully shift into a wolf outside of a full moon. All wolves are equipped with heightened senses, as well as enhanced speed, strength, agility and dexterity. While they do have these advanced features as opposed to say a human, these abilities do not surpass those of most supernatural beings. It’s often the skill and knowledge of using their abilities that allows them to defeat enemies of a more powerful species. On a full moon, all these abilities are increased to around the same level of power as vampires. Along with these abilities, they also have their own version of telepathy. By penetrating the back of the neck of a person, they can sort through their memories and depths of their mind. While this is possible, it takes a great deal of practice and a powerful werewolf to manage such a feat. Other attempts can often result in killing the subject of this. Though with this ability, it’s far easier to develop a telepathic link with another species that happens to be strong in telepathy. They have the power of their bite, which allows them to turn humans and humanoid species into werewolves. Alongside these other capabilities, they also possess a high resistance to most human viruses. With this, they have an incredibly high healing factor. While they don’t recover from flesh injuries as quickly as some species, they do recover fairly fast. They’re not as fast as some other species, but fast enough that most injuries don’t last long. Creation: Werewolves by nature follow a similar creation pattern to their enemy species. A werewolf is created in one of three ways. They are born, bitten, or cursed. To be born, a werewolf merely must have a werewolf ancestor within a relative family. A werewolf grandparent, parent or great grandparent. Most are predisposed to this gene. Werewolves born with the gene must first kill someone before they are able to shift. Whether the death was an accident or not, if they caused it, then they will find themselves shifting on the next full moon. A rare few are born already able to shift, but this typically runs in bloodlines. So werewolves who were born capable of shift will pass that on to their children. Werewolves can also be created with a bite. Should a werewolf bite a human or a creature akin to them (ie. witch, necromancer, banshee) the human will likely change. This change kills several humans, or it turns them. There is rarely ever any sort of prevention for the change, though some spells can interfere. Most humans end up not being able to handle the shift and die in the process. In a rare case, werewolves can also be created by spell work. If a witch or sometimes even certain demons were involved, they can use some transformation spell work to cause a regular human or creature to become a werewolf. This is fairly uncommon, unless a witch is particular pissed off or a demon with the right skill set just so happens to be bored. Nutrition: Werewolves are not privy to any particular diet. There are several rumors and suggestions they feed off human flesh, but these rumors were born from fear and an attempt to create a divide between wolves and humans. While in wolf form they have a penchant for raw flesh, in human form most times they purely crave a higher caloric intake. Their body requires higher amounts of nutrition and protein to sustain their powers and abilities. This often means they consume a great deal more than the average human.
