Werewolves

[info]

Physical Forms
Werewolves typically have three forms they are able to switch between--wolf, lycan, and humanoid.

Wolf
Fully transformed, werewolves are almost indistinguishable from normal wolves. Their physical size tends to be larger than the average wolf and have a distinct magical energy that some Mages might be able to pick up on. Unnaturally yellow eyes may also be an indication of a werewolf.

Lycan
This form, very similar to Lupids, is a halfway point between their wolf and humanoid form. As with their wolf forms, they tend to be physically larger than the average lupid and are slightly less human than they are.

Humanoid
The most common humanoid form of a werewolf is, well, human. Some packs opt to use elven disguises instead, depending on the surrounding races. A werewolf's ears and tail are usually visible in this form, but some pureblooded wolves are able to hide these completely. This effect can also be achieved by powerful magical enchantments or curses.

Modern Times
"Modern times" refers to the time period starting at the 18th century to present day.

Social Hierarchy
While most packs still retain the Alpha/Beta ruling dynamic, they have completely done away with the concept of Omega and have turned the system into a less-aggressive, non-fight-to-the-top society.

Religion
Due to the mixing of cultures, many werewolves consider themselves eclectic; they follow many or a combination of many different religions and/or belief systems. The original werewolf religion Lunism has survived and is still practiced by a large majority, though its numbers are dwindling.
