Werewolves

**Werewolves** (shape-shifters or wolves for short) are a natural occurring phenomena that involves old ancestral spirits and native tribes. All types of wolves will only ever be natives of Northern and Central American countries however it isn't uncommon to see them outside of the continent due to migration.

## Definition

**Werewolves** are humans with the ability to shape shift into a wolf.

## Origin

In the late 14th century shortly before Christopher Columbus arrived on the shores of North America, shamans from all tribes across the entire country experienced premonitions of a danger to come. After Christopher Columbus came, European colonisers began to bring their cultures, religions, animals, diseases into their land--which many chiefs and tribesman had mistaken the warning for. However that wasn't the case. The warning had been intended for the *undead* that came with the settlers that severely antagonised the spiritual ancestors. Vampires came and decimated the numbers of all native tribes, the colonisers and local fauna. Many from both sides resorted to prayers when their defences kept being broken through, all almost lost hope until the call was headed but not by one expected. Appalled at their sisters indirect doing, the Goddesses Estefani, Manaia and Svala worked directly with the chiefs and some tribesman for their people and their survival. After that fateful night all they had to do was wait for the next full moon.

(three warriors who were sacrificed for the 'ability' were the first who came into contact with the vampires thus being the first to change––which is the modern day royal families Adakai, Solomon and Serrano).

## About

Werewolves are a natural occurring phenomenon that was caused by the sudden and large influx of Vampires into North America from Europe and Africa in the 14th century.

When the first Vampire had set foot onto North American soil the dark magic that manifests within the creature had evoked a retaliation within the spirits of the Native Indian people along with help of three of the Goddess sisters.

Werewolves are descendants of Native American Indian tribes and will only ever be native American. The wolves adhere to a monarchy system split into tribes and their respective lands governed by each of their own regional *royal* family.

### Wolf Variants:

* **Snow Wolves:** have striking grey eyes with coats that vary between white and grey, as predicted patrol more colder, northern climates such as most of Canada and a few of the top states in the United States.
* **Woodland Wolves:** have luminous green eyes with coats that vary between black and dark brown, they originate in more rainier, dense forestry states. Typically the midwest and northern west coast.
* **Dust Wolves:** have warm golden brown eyes with coats that vary between light brown and ginger, these wolves are typically found in the lower west side of the United States even right through to Mexico.

### Territory:

They hold, control and protect almost all states in Canada, United States of America and Mexico however the only land that is untouched by modern day wolves are the US states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Many tribes from those areas ceased to continue their *protector* lineage and now those lands are controlled by other supernatural beings such as: Witches, Warlocks and Herons.

## Society

Wolves adhere to a democratic-monarchy system. They are responsible for their own kind, enforcing their own laws, rules and regulations. The species is still under Calypso law and abide by their laws also.

To honour old traditions and embrace modern ones, all agreed to keep their original three royal families but include a system where they can elect whom they believe is fit to lead (the entire species).

Smaller elections are held by tribes to elect new alphas for their respective packs whom are in need of a new successor, candidates are often passed down through families however that does not mean that it cannot be taken away unless the tribes deems so.

## History

When the vampires first started immigrating into the America's the wolves were a very effective control mechanism against the vampires proving to be a good defense for the natives against the unnatural creatures who wreaked havoc all throughout the 14th to 18th centuries. This event in 1432 caused the first shifts to ever occur with males and/or females belonging to a tribe with Native American blood flowing through their veins and shifting them into werewolves. The goddess sisters were so ashamed of what their other sisters Lamia and Bisera had created they gave the werewolves magical properties on top of the wolf from the ancestral spirits had given them. Tribes all over the North American continent had begun shifting as more and more vampires flooded into their land, they were "programmed" of sorts to have a negative and aggressive reaction to a vampire just as their ancestors had intended. A natural enemy. In the 14th century however, the Goddesses decided to step in and intervene due to the overpowering force and menace the vampires had become after realising that the wolves were not effective as they once were because their numbers began dropping rapidly.

In the summer of 1451 there was a large scale massacre of 2,957 Native American people - some wolves some humans in Greer, Arizona done at the hands of three single vampires as an act of revenge. Rama and Odeyssia were appalled and felt responsible by this act of cold blooded murder that they banded the rest of the sisters (excluding Lamia and Bisera) together and devised a solution with the tribe's ancestors to help with the problem. The goddesses gave the wolves a genetic "makeover" by making them alot larger in scale ranging from the size of a horse to an Alaskan Bull Moose, as opposed to their original sizes of large dogs or non shifter wolves. The wolves were gifted with enhanced senses that rival those of vampires, they also had gotten an extreme upgrade with regenerative abilities coupled with inhuman strength and speed. The tribe ancestors did not approve of the Goddesses in general due to their abilities and magic being unnatural and not from this world however they did allow that magic to be incorporated into their people to prevent their tribes from dying out.

Vampires were not the only problem the wolves had though. After 1492, the year Columbus sailed to America the natives began to have many problems with the humans as well. For centuries the immigrants that came into North America looking for a place to settle and/or colonise caused the natives suffering and large loss. Because of the increase in human foot traffic into the America's it inadvertently increased vampire numbers as well. This sole event caused the biggest boom of native's wolf genes being triggered resulting in the largest boom of shifted wolves in the Americas but also caused the biggest loss of them as well. Because of the conflicting enemies coming from two different species, their attentions were split for a very long time which has evidently diminished their overall population and weakening the wolf gene in the blood that is carried in every native. Every generation it becomes less and less powerful to the point that modern day wolves exist solely on the magic gifted to them by the goddesses that is carried in every native american who descends from a shifted wolf or someone who carried the gene, so technically speaking a "pure-blooded" wolf would be an extreme rarity if any still exist.
