Werewolves

Werewolves are humans by day and ferocious wolves every full moon, as well as the night before and after.
== Appearance ==
In wolf form they appear to be only slightly larger than regular wolves. Their markings should match their human form with their fur color being similar to their hair and scars will be the same.
== Genetics ==
Witches and Oracles are immune to being turned into werewolves and do not carry any werewolf genetics.
Wolfblood flows through every Kinborn and a number of the regular population due to interbreeding. The genes pass from parents to children, but a specific mutation is necessary to allow shifting to occur. This mutation is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids with an existing shifter.
To those with wolf genetics, this transition is fairly painless and control comes naturally to them. Those who are completely human experience significantly more pain as their genetics rewrite themselves to accommodate both the introduction of wolfblood, as well as the mutation that allows them to shift. Control is often hard won for these individuals, and may never be complete without Kin guidance.
Werewolves also have a genetic allergy to silver. While they are hardier and more powerful than both their human and wolf counterparts, they can be killed by any normal means. However, a weapon made of silver will cause an anaphylactic reaction that, left untreated, will be fatal. Understandably, silver is outlawed within the Kin. 
==Spreading Lycanthropy==
The disease is spread through bodily fluids such as blood and semen. The dease can be spread even when an infected werewolf is in its human form.
Very, very rarely, a literal one time in a million, a child born from two parents with the wolf genetics may also be born with the mutation already a part of their code. The mutation remains dormant during the early years, but manifests of its own accord during puberty. This “born wolf” becomes able to shift without ever having been scratched or bitten. These wolves tend to have complete control of their shifts and the inner wolf with little to no guidance. (We have one born wolf on the site and are not currently accepting others.)
== Werewolves in the Coalition ==
Thirty years ago there was an outbreak of Lycanthropy in the Coalition. It wiped out entire villages and something had to be done to protect the people of the Coalition. 
Enforcers destroyed the infected villages to the last child, but the infection could not be contained. It still pops up in the Coalition, sometimes even within well populated cities. The Facility was created to find a cure. 
== The Kin ==
The Kin are unknown to the Coalition, the Witches, and the Resistance. They live in natural cave formations on Wolf Fang Mountain. Read More
