Database/Werewolf

## Overview

Werewolves, also known as Lichen, these creatures are a diluted version of their Lycan predecessors. This bloodline has been diluted with Human mates throughout the years. They hold no ‘religious’ connection to their creation, yet they think and act like humans despite their augmented abilities. The most obvious being ability, being to change into a wolf with the natural characteristics inherent to both wolves and humans, including senses, stamina, agility, etc. In addition werewolves are often attributed strength and speed far beyond those of wolves or men and may have them in lesser amount even when untransformed. They also have a regenerative healing factor, which heals things quicker than a human however it does leave scars. Werewolves, are no match for their Lycan predecessors but they can hold their own against a vampire, preferably a young one.

Their wolf-form may be completely natural wolf in form, something resembling a Dire Wolf, or even something directly from the darkest dredges of human fear for wolves. Werewolves have several weaknesses that be fatal in high dosages, Wolfsbane and Silver.

The quickest and effective way to kill a Werewolf is to take the head and heart - preferably with Silver.

## Hierarchy

### Werewolf Alpha

Also known as Lichen Alphas, these beings are the next highest beast beneath their predecessor the Lycan. They are augmented Werewolves, who are the superior version of the bloodline. They can reach an untrained Lycan strength and abilities, when they’ve been training for years.

They too have the ability to command, though only their own bloodline.

### Werewolf Warriors

Much like their Alpha, they’ve been trained to be the best, to accompany their Alpha and to protect when commanded. They are highly trained and skilled with many forms of fighting in human and wolf form.

### General Werewolf Population

The general Werewolf population are stronger than humans however are not trained to the extent of the Warriors or their Alphas. The general population are normally the targets for attack, they are often caught by Vampires - unable to reach the strength of even a Turned Vampire who is over 200 years.

### Wolf-born

Often confused with Omegas, Wolf-born are the result of a human and werewolf mating. They have a 50% chance of having a wolf, though in most cases they are unable to shift. These beings are trained to protect pups, pregnant women and those who cannot fight. They are highly trained in their human forms, but they also have the senses and strengths of their Werewolf Warrior counterparts.

### Omegas

The weakest link of any pack, they are human-born within the bloodline as a result of the dilution. The more diluted the bloodline, the more human they are. Omegas have the connection to the Pack but have no enhancements - they are completely human with a connection.

Human mates often have this rank, as they are rarely turned due to the volatile nature of a turned wolf.

### Turned Wolves

Turned wolves are humans who have been bitten on a full-moon by a Werewolf. Due to the dilution, they often survive the change but loose their sanity if unmated, or are without their maker. They're strength is beneath that of a Wolf-born, but they are often made in numbers for war.

They have the same weaknesses as humans, and they have no tolerance for silver or wolfsbane - even the smallest dosage could be fatal.

### Rogue

A Packless wolf. Werewolves, unlike their Lycan Predecessors, are unable to be on their own. They need the pack link to keep their sanity, without it they are volatile and untrustworthy.

There are only a handful of Rogues who are able to keep their sanity when Rogue, that is if they were batshit crazy to start with.

## Weaknesses

**Silver** - A given for Werewolves, depending on bloodline will depend on how lethal Silver is.
