Löwenmensches

Löwenmensches are a supernatural and pseudo-supernatural species that allows humans to gain supernatural abilities. On full moons, their powers are greatly heightened but they lose control and become killing monsters.

These people were created by the Group ‘Enhancers’. These are the people that follow the ways of the Chimera Klaus. They inject and turn several people into pseudo-supernatural beings.

**Abilities:**

**Supernatural Strength -** Löwenmensches have strength far superior to humans. The weakest Löwenmensches can still lift above 800kg, which is way more than what any human could do.

**Supernatural Speed -** The speed of Löwenmensches outclasses humans greatly. The upper limit of humans so far is 28mph and the slowest Löwenmensches run at speeds of 35mph and upwards.

**Supernatural Durability -** Löwenmensches have supernatural durability above the durability of humans. Bullets penetrate into Löwenmensches but never go as deep as it would for a human. Gold bullets however, deal more damage to Löwenmensches than it does to humans. Skilled human punches and kicks still do little to no damage to them.

**Supernatural Agility -** Löwenmensches have the agility to leap from building to building in densely packed cities and they have a leaping ability that can send them several metres into the air and several metres away horizontally.

**Supernatural Stamina -** Löwenmensches can sustain full speed sprinting for several kilometres at the least. They can also fight full force for several hours with no breaks before tiring out. These feats prove to be very handy when running away from hunters.

**Heightened Senses -** Löwenmensches can smell better than even dogs and other canine animals. This allows them to detect chemo-signals and literally smell emotions on people. They can see far further and sharper than humans. Their hearing ranges are far wider than humans also as they can hear from as low as 2Hz to 90,000Hz. The average hearing range for this species although, is 5Hz - 50,000Hz.

**Heightened Emotions -** In their human form, Löwenmensches are quite irritable and can have mood swings from time to time. When transformed, these emotions are further heightened and getting them too angry can get you killed.

**Enhanced Pain Tolerance -** Compared to their durability, their pain tolerance outclasses humans. This allows them to still fight and survive efficiently, even after receiving severe injury.

**Pain Transference -** Löwenmensches can absorb the pain of others and receive a short and sharp pain. This is very efficient when keeping humans painless and happy in a bad time.

**Healing Factor -** Löwenmensches are able to heal from injuries in mere seconds to minutes, depending on the severity of the injury. This healing factor causes them to be immune to all non-supernatural diseases. Their healing factor slows down their aging all the way down to a few centuries instead of a few decades for humans. The first Chimera, Klaus, was turned in 1709 but he is still alive to this day, after more than 300 years.

**Shapeshifting -** They are able to shift into two different stages. The Basic Shift Stage, the first stage of shifting, gives them claws, fangs, glowing eyes, and a 20% or 25% boost (Alpha) to the abilities listed above. The second and final shifting stage is the Partial Shift Stage. For male Löwenmensches, it gives them glowing eyes, pointed ears, longer and sharper claws and fangs, a shorter lion mane compared to actual lions, slightly more body hair and a 40% or 50% increase (Alpha) to the abilities listed before. Experienced and controlled Löwenmensches can reveal select features like just claws or just a lion mane. Female Löwenmensches basically have the same things except they have no lion mane because lionesses in real life don't have one.

**Infectious Bite -** On the full moon, their fangs fill with venom and this allows them to give venomous bites. The venom only works on other supernatural and pseudo-supernatural beings and has no effect on humans.

**Weaknesses -**

**Gold -** Gold burns the skin of Löwenmensches and if it touched for too long, it burns through the skin and lives a painful burn mark. Gold bullets deal the same damage to Löwenmensches that it would for humans getting shot by an ordinary bullet.

**Lunar Eclipse -** Lunar eclipses completely take away the powers of all supernatural and pseudo-supernatural beings. They become just like humans and this day is when the hunter organisations take advantage and go on a mass genocide.

**Rankings:**

**Omega -** The Omega Löwenmensch is the lowest rank of Löwenmensch. They are of no pack for several reasons. The main two reasons are because their pack had been disbanded or because they have never really discovered other supernatural beings close to them. They have access to the two stages of shapeshifting and they both do a 20% increase for the first and 40% increase for the second. This rank consists of the weakest type of Löwenmensch.

**Beta -** The Beta Löwenmensch is the middle rank for the Löwenmensch. This means they are in a pack under an Alpha. A group of supernatural beings is just a group of Omegas if there is no Alpha. Once a Löwenmensch becomes a Beta, they receive a power boost. All Beta Löwenmensches can lift more than 1 tonne if they try hard enough. They have the same multipliers for the two stages of shifting.

**Alpha -** Alpha Löwenmensches are very strong. The minimum speed of Alphas is 47mph with no shifting. Alphas have less power with no pack but they still keep most of their Alpha powers until they remake a pack. Enhanced Alphas still exist in with this species, which is an Alpha that kills 3 Betas. Experienced Alphas gain access to a special third stage of shifting. They grow to about 7 ft - 9 ft and become man-lion beasts. This form is so strong that even two Alphas with the Partial Shift Stage stand no chance against once person with this form.

**Eyes:**

Omega and Beta Löwenmensches have the same glowing green eye colour. Once they become Alphas, they gain glowing red eyes.
