Werewolves

### Distinction

Mortals who have increased abilities and have the ability to shapeshift into a Wolf every full moon, then any moon after training

Werewolves are mortal who have enhanced powers and have the ability to transform into Wolves on the full moon. Werewolves look like their human counterpart, until it's a full moon, to which they transform into a large, bipedal Wolf, covered in fur from head to toe, and have the face of a wolf. While in this form, they don't have full control, nor do they have control over their transformation at first, which the former requires training, (Or until they reach adulthood), and the latter become controllable after a year. Werewolves, unlike Ghouls and Vampires, don't require a special diet to live, and can eat anything, as long as they don't starve themselves to death. However, like Ghouls, Werewolves possess a bite that can turn any human, Witch, or even Vampire into a Werewolf, but they can only do so when in their Wolf form.

## Creation

Werewolves, like the rest of the supernatural creatures (excluding Witches), were cursed/blessed by the first Witches, with Werewolves being a blessing to some and curse to others. An unknown number of people were turned into the first Werewolves by an unknown Witch to have her personal army. After they found out they could create more Werewolves, they spread out and formed their own packs.

### Bite

Werewolves, like Ghouls, possess a bite that can turn people into a Werewolf, though the difference is a Werewolf has to be transformed to turn someone, and the person never has to die to become a Werewolf. Once bitten, a person will experience changes in their body, with their senses increasing first, then get stronger, then faster, and on a full moon, experience their first transformation. (However, should a full moon occur first, the person will get the senses, strength, and speed all at once).

## Nature

Werewolves are typically pack creatures, so they usually always travel together. Each pack is unique, having their own rules and standards, However, every Werewolf, in their first year, have no control over their transformation, being forced to turn every full moon. Then, after the first year, it requires more training to control themselves while in Wolf form, (Or until they reach adulthood, which ever occurs first). After mastering how to control their Wolf form, they typically act like normal people when in public. When a Werewolf is first born, they experience anger issues, having a very short fuse until they activate their Werewolf side on their 16th birthday, experience a very traumatic thing which will trigger their Werewolf side prematurely, or by killing someone, (Whichever occurs first).

## Attitude Towards Humans

Werewolves can either view humans as their friends or be indifferent with them. The only true thing that sets them apart (If you ignore the super human abilities) is their Wolf form, so for a majority of their time, they can act the same a humans.

## Attitude Towards Supernatural

Werewolves are able to tell the difference between different supernatural beings, (With the exception of Ghouls and Vampires, who, due to being dead, have the same scent). Since their bite can kill a Vampire, their relationship is strained, they both mutually despise Ghouls, with Werewolves viewing Ghouls as animals.

## Awareness of Werewolves

Werewolves were common knowledge during the early years, but as time went on, humans who knew about Werewolves began to die, and along with them, the knowledge. They began to hide in plain sight, and when they start to transform, Werewolves would just isolate themselves from the pubic. Though, in some small towns, humans know about Werewolves, and some even allow them to have a say. They are, however, known among other supernatural species.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Super Strength:** Werewolves possess strength higher than that of a human, being able to lift 3 tons in their human form, though with some effort. However, in their Wolf form, their strength is amplified to a much larger degree, being able to surpass young Vampires as well as some older ones. Despite this, their strength, while transformed and on a full moon is still not enough to compare with well over centuries old Vampire, Pure Bloods, or First Gen Vampires. Meaning that the oldest Vampire they can surpass is between 200-300 years old.
* **Super Speed:** Werewolves can move slightly faster than humans in their human forms, but can reach enough speed in their Wolf form to appear as a blur to most. They can catch up to a young Vampire in their Wolf form.
* **Super Agility:** Werewolves, when they are in their human form, are still very agile, being able to leap, vault, and climb with ease. In their Wolf form however, they can move fluidly and can react to things very fast.
* **Super Senses:** Werewolves, even outside their Wolf form, have the best senses of all other species (Excluding Hybrids), being able to smell and hear for miles, if they want that is. When they're in their Wolf form, everything is amplified, meaning it is near impossible to hide from a transformed Werewolf. They are even able to see excellently at night.
* **Super Durability:** Werewolves are more durable than humans even when in human form. They can shrug off minor injuries, but any major ones will really hurt them. In their Wolf form, they can take much more pain and shrug off even more.
* **Healing Factor:** Even in human form, Werewolves heal faster than humans, but they still heal slower than Ghouls and Vampires. When in their Wolf form, their healing is increased, being able to heal faster and from much more deadly injuries.
* **Lycanthropy:** When a Werewolf is angry, they will be stronger in both human and Wolf form. They will also be able to access some of their Werewolf abilities in their human form if they are filled with enough rage, since the root of Lycanthropy was rage. They are also at their strongest on a full moon, so much so that their strength gets amplified that they can take on young Vampires without their Wolf Form, though this is dangerous since they only have this power for one night out of a month.
* **Wolf Form:** In their first year, Werewolf turn every full moon, and in their Wolf form, they are at their strongest. However, after gaining control, they can access their strength while in their Wolf Form whenever. In their Wolf form, their eye color changes to a bright yellow, matching that of a normal wolf.
* **Bite:** A Werewolf bite can turn anyone bitten into a Werewolf, though they only have access to this while in their Wolf form. And should they bite a non-Pure Blood Vampire, said Vampire will die as a result of Lycanthropy trying to take over their body.

## Weaknesses

* **Mortality:** Since Werewolves are still mortal, they can die of natural causes, and through serious injuries that they can't heal from.
* **Silver:** Silver will burn and weaken a Werewolf, and if they are shot or stabbed with it, will take much longer to heal from it, healing at the rate of a human almost.
* **Ghoul Bite:** Should a Ghoul bite a Werewolf, they will take longer to be affected by it, but will still succumb to the bite and die from it, only to raise and wake as a Ghoul-Werewolf Hybrid.
* **Magic:** Like with all supernatural beings, if enough magic is used on them, they can be killed.

## Trivia

* The irony of Werewolves thinking Ghouls are animals is, they themselves are actual animals, who also lack control in their early stages.
