Earth Clan (Species)

Name:  Earth Clan
Notes:  The Earth Clan is an organization with one purpose that serves as its sole duty:  Serving the Tepes clan of the Dakhanavar species as its bodyguards and military force.
Originally, the Earth Clan started as a single bloodline of Lycanthropes that aligned with the Tepes bloodline.  Over countless generations, this Lycanthrope family evolved to be its own sub-species.  Unfortunately, some quirk of evolution caused the family line to only produce sons, thus mandating they find female spouses from genetically compatible species, though humans were the most common.  Over time, this addition of genetic material from other species furthered the evolution of the Earth Clan strain of Lycanthropes into a more and more unique sub-species.
Earth Clan Lycanthropes also were able to develop a unique technology.  Due to the dilution of their original Lycanthrope D.N.A. in each successive generation, they eventually grew to become human-like in external appearance, albeit it ones that were easily what normal humans would call superhumans.  Using a form of nanotech derived from technology acquired from the Bascillus, they hyper-stimulate their Lycanthrope genetics, forcing a rapid, painful morphing into a Lycanthrope form.  However, if not used for a long time, the Earth Clan member can become rusty in the use of this nanotech.  Usually, a morphed Earth Clan Lycanthrope again uses their nanotech to shift back to their human form, though most prefer the human form over their Lycan one.
Earth Clan Lycanthropes are quite dangerous combatants, their abilities and traits only amplified when shifted to their Lycanthrope form.  Stronger than normal Lycanthropes, the Earth Clan sub-species they are capable of demolishing 20th to 21st century style tanks with their bare hands even to the point of lifting it and throwing it when shifted, though in human form they can still disable the aforementioned tank.  Faster than normal Lycans, they are able to move faster than the human eye can perceive, appearing as a blur.  Though Lycans are known for their superhuman senses, the Earth Clan strain has evolve even farther to improve their senses, including vision down to the infrared spectrum.  Unlike normal Lycanthropes, however, the Earth Clan strain has a high enough level of agility to easily free climb up certain vertical surfaces that would be unpassable by members of other species, at a rate that could be considered running - though this feat differs based on what the surface is composed of, which affects things like if two or four limbs are needed, and requires training to make full use of.
