Ulfhedinn

This bloodline was created during the Age of Titans by the Seraphim of Asgard, who sought to embody their people's animal totems. They succeeded, and joined the ranks of Asgard's skin-changers, but not without cost. The atavistic instincts invested into their souls threaten to overwhelm the Ulfhedinn and send them into a berserker rage their bloodline is infamous for. The Midgard treat Ulfhedinn like half-feral monsters, which they are, but also have respect and admiration for their physical prowess and extraordinary devotion to their culture's traditions. The Imperium sees Ulfhedinn as especially savage and degenerated among the apocryphal bloodlines. While Ulfhedinn typically lair in the deep wilds, due to their preference for the blood of beasts and their unique challenges living amongst mortals, they have become increasingly involved in Asgard's greater state of affairs as the Holy Xilosian Imperium stands poised to destroy or forever change the Midgard way of life.
*Benefit You can spend 1 blood point to assume the form of a Midgard Totem Animal you follow. This ability functions as beast shape I, beast shape II, or beast shape III corresponding to your number of active tenets from that totem animal. This is a spell-like ability that lasts (Hit Dice) hours. While in the form of a totem animal, you deal +1 Con damage when using Blood Drain on creatures that are its natural prey, and increase your Potency with that totem animal by +1.
*Weakness You lose 3 blood points when you violate the tenets of a totem animal you follow (however minutely), when you cease having any active tenets from a predatory totem animal, and for every hour afterwards until the tenet(s) are regained. Whenever you witness another creature violate the tenets of a totem animal that you follow, you must succeed a Will Save (DC 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Midgard Totemism Potency) or gain the berserk condition for 1 minute. You treat that creature and their allies as hostile, and prioritize attacking and seeking out the provoking creature over others.
*Special You gain the Shapechanger subtype. If you are Mythic, you can expend 1 use of Mythic Power when assuming the form of a Midgard Totem Animal to gain the benefits the appropriate version of mythic beast shape instead.
