Lu'pine / Werewolves

A **Werewolf** (also known as a **lycanthrope** or a **lupine**) is a human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf, either as a result of genetics (e.g. one or both parents are werewolves) or after being placed under a curse or affliction (e.g. via a bite or scratch from another werewolf). Though werewolves can transform into their wolf forms and back to their human forms again at will, the transformation appears to happen automatically when a werewolf is exposed to the full moon.

## Current State

Currently, the werewolves have been accepted by mankind like they did to Meif'was and the other species. Some beings still think that werewolves are horrible monsters, but we cannot control what they think. The werewolves are now living normal lives and none have been treated terribly. They now roam the Earth like normal beings, except for the Ultima who are still being hunted by the Guardian Forces.

### Alpha (Male) [School]

The alpha male is one of the leaders in a high school Werewolf pack. He can gain the role of Alpha when either of these things happen:

* The former Alpha (Male) passes his role to him
* The current Alpha (Female) choose him as the role of Alpha
* He fights with the current Alpha (Male) and wins the battle
* There is no Alpha at all and the werewolves in the pack will vote (For PDH, the teacher would pick)

### Alpha (Female) [School]

The alpha female is another one of the leaders in a high school Werewolf pack. She can gain the role of Alpha when either of these things happen

* The former Alpha (Female) passes her role to her.
* The current Alpha (Male) chooses her as the role of Alpha (Female)
* She fights with the current Alpha (Female) and wins the battle
* There is no Alpha at all and the werewolves in the pack will vote (For PDH, the teacher would pick)

### Alpha (Wild)

In the wild, a Werewolf pack only has one alpha. The reason why a high school pack has two is so they could have a better understanding of the role.

### Beta (Wild)

A Beta is often the soulmate of the alpha. There are some cases where betas are family or close friends of the alpha. The Beta is respected by the other werewolves in the pack but respects the Alpha just like the others.

### The sidekicks of the Alpha

When a former Omega (Aidan Soto) became Alpha under the permission of the former Alpha (Male). Aidan had sidekicks by his side when he was Alpha. His sidekicks were sometimes more than five. Aidan used his sidekicks to help fight his own battles and to bully other beings. Having sidekicks or people by your side all the time when you are Alpha, makes you considered by all werewolves as a weak, selfish coward and a humiliation to Werewolf kind.

### The Werewolves (Not including Alpha, Beta and Omegas)

The werewolves in a pack are also important. Without them, the pack would not have existed. The werewolves in a pack must be more than two. The smallest werewolf pack known to werewolf kind had only six werewolves in it (this includes alpha, beta, and omegas).

### The Omega

The omega is considered the lowest stage of the pack. The omega is a helper to the pack. He/She has to tend to the werewolves' needs (Eg health, food etc). There can be more than one omega in a pack. But the max number of omegas in a pack is three. The omega can gain the role of omega by doing the thing below,

* He or she is chosen by the Alphas to become an omega

* He or she does something bad and gets punished by being sent to the Omega stage

## Werewolf Laws

Naturally, werewolves are stronger and more durable than humans and Meif'was while also having a higher pain tolerance. To keep order between races, werewolves are not allowed to use physical violence on humans or Meif'was. Such an act is considered illegal and could result in being taken in for questioning. Some areas even go as far as to ban all werewolves if one were to cause havoc, although this does lead to conflict.

## History

Werewolves are known to actuate in what is known as **Packs**. These packs can be comprised of any number of werewolves and usually have an order of a sort. Every pack has two leaders known as **Alphas** (one female and one male) who are tasked with the role of helping the other werewolves in the pack. In accordance with this tradition, however, the role of Alpha comes with the responsibility of electing an Omega, who is usually esteemed to be the most-hated werewolf of the pack. This doesn't necessarily mean the other members are required to hate the person, but they do most of the time since this is in line with their Werewolf nature

The history of Werewolves is shown to have traced back to one human, known as '**The Ultima Werewolf**'. It is said that this human once lived happily alongside his wife, who he loved deeply. All of a sudden, his wife fell deathly ill, eventually falling victim to what had come over her. A demon agreed to bring her back to life, under the circumstances that the widowed husband brought a living oblation, to which he decided to sacrifice the life of a wolf. This exploit greatly aggravated the Wolf Deity and caused it to transform the man into a werewolf. Upon arrival to his village, the man realized that his curse was not being a werewolf, but it was that he now possessed the uncontrollable ability to transform other humans into werewolves. It was not long before all the residents of his village were turned into werewolves themselves. The man became Alpha of this pack and they became the first werewolf group to roam the earth. To the current day, the man's bloodline is known as the '**Ultima**'.
