Pteronious Sol

Lycanthropy is as varied as the continents they are found on.

The Sol Clan were originally a tribe of Scandinavian hunters that contracted the virus when they raided a temple dedicated to the virgins of Maras, a group of female werewolves. The males of the tribe were cursed with the affliction, leaving the females born or bitten by members of the tribe with a mere 1% chance of contracting the disease. The ancient members of the tribe were than enslaved by early Vampiric Nobles while they were lost in their wild and feral states, lost in the wilderness of the Northern Reaches of the main continent. During their enslavement many learned to take human form once more, some remaining crossed in a hybridized form and bred by their nobles to become strong, powerful watchdogs. Bred from the Northern heights, they can speak the older languages of the lands more easily than the Common tongue. Runes were still a very common form of writing for many, especially those raised in the Northlands. They were originally nomadic and are strongly versed in the languages of their regions. While they do still possess wolf-like tendencies when it comes to group oriented activities and war, they can easily assimilate into civilized culture with little effort, driven by the Norsk cultures. The Northern Tribes are acquainted with the North and Western languages, while Southern Tribes specialize in Roamni and other, sparing, romance languages. Eastern languages are difficult for the tribes to learn to speak unless they have been born and raised in these cultures, but learning a few words is not impossible.

Their diet depends on their region. Being wolves the tribe's diet consists almost entirely of raw meat. Their stomachs can tolerate some vegetation, but not in large quantities for it triggers an allergic reaction that twists their digestive system and fills it with gas and bloat. Depending on the size of the lycan, their prey can vary from rabbits and other rodents to large hoofed mammals, and even some aquatic types. Their diet is defined by their territory. In example: the more mountainous dwelling Sol Tribes prefer a diet of Mountain Goat and Boar with occasional hunts for Dragons and Lindworms which are considered important prey during the winter seasons. Tribal laws that change from clan to clan and region to region. A predominately patriarchal society lycanthropes carry the capacity to live among humans peacefully, but still hold strong to their ancient tribal customs. The fierce, tribalistic, behavior keeps their bonds to one another strong and their honor as individuals intake, but can be taken offensively by other, more 'civilized' groups. A werewolf is either born in a human form or a feral form. Other forms can develop later in their life, providing them the capacity to change with their environment, and to a more debilitating manner: change them according to their emotions. Lycanthropy is hereditary or can be transmitted by the bite, not the scratch, of another werewolf. Saliva or blood has to be transferred in order to contract the disease. Some wolves hat live among humans in their society have an obsessive habit when it comes to cleaning their hands. The power of the werewolf extends to human form, such as invulnerability, super-human speed and strength and other, minor physical resistances. The worship of their chosen Deity provides even greater strength through zealous behaviors. The majority of the members of this clan are born Lycanthrope with very few, if any remaining, infected. All, but one, member of the original Varg Clan have died: Bartholomew Sol.

Moonstones

Moonstones carry the essence of the moon to the Sol Tribe. They are faithfully mined by the Tribes so that, even during times of the New Moon, they will have the moon at their side. The moonstones are solidified rays of light from the Lunar body, the Celestial Mother of all Starchildren. The lycanthrope say that these stones connect you to the moon and allow you to speak to her.

They can also use the Moonstone, along with another enchanted item, to transform during the New Moon. Moonstones are said carry the power to unite lovers and are symbols of fidelity so it is important to many tribes that use the stones to keep in contact with their kin and identify themselves. Each tribe uses a totem unique to them. They also are charms and protect seafarers during their journeys. When depleted of their power one must place the stone under the light of a Full Moon to recharge it.

Moonstones carry the following traits:

•Enhance Psychic abilities
•Assists Stress and Mental Anxiety
•Can be used to enhance Healing Magic
•Carries the element of water so can be used to deter certain vampyrs
•Carries the chakra of the third eye.

Werewolves have a biology unlike many creatures. They are a mythical beast and their strengths and weaknesses vary with Generation and Breeding. They are known as half-immortals. They can be killed, but otherwise live for eternity if left to the length of their lifespan, which is rare for a werewolf.


Strengths

Physical Strength: Superhuman physical strength due to being a lycanthrope.

Speed: Runs at 40FPS (27MPH/43KPH) (Faster than a Human, slower than a Feral Wolf) in hybrid form.

Lowlight Vision: Can see well in low light (but not total darkness, and bright light hinders)

Mountain Borne: High tolerance for temperature extremes(cold) and magic (cold-based).

Partial Immortality: Due to their regenerative capabilities that mature at adulthood, they cease aging. Unless killed they will not suffer the deterioration of mortal creatures who cannot repair or restore damaged cells.

---Supernatural:
Transformation:

Hybrid - A human/wolf mix that looks like a wolf-eared human with a tail and fur over black skin
Werewolf - Full form, beastial, monstrous. Both quadrupedal and bipedal
Feral - Feral wolf, looks ordinary. Wears a collar under the thick fur, ring for hooking him up and leading him.

Dragon Armor: The skin and bone come from a red dragon, granting the wearer an immunity to fire when wearing it. It heavily increases their defense without reducing their speed.

Resistances: High tolerance for temperature extremes(cold) and (cold) magic and mental (psychic and hypnosis due to schizophrenia)




Lycan body & skin: Body is tough with thick bones built up from repetitive breaking and healing from transformations. Thick skin creates a natural armor difficult to penetrate without forceful firepower such as high caliber gunfire. His Lycanthrope body also makes him immune to most diseases thanks to rapid regeneration abilities. Their curse also makes them immune to Vampirism, the two curses being unable to exist with one another



Weaknesses

Mistletoe: Poisonous when ingested and cause immediate, volatile, stomach reactions. Powerful scent deters when wood is burned! Being pierced by a projectile covered in its oil causes hives on the skin.

Wolf's Bane: Also known as Monk's Hood or the Nightshade. Extremely poisonous to canines. Can cause death when ingested in large amounts.

Mountain Ash: Powerful stench deters werewolf approach.

Berserk: An ability triggered during the high stress state of combat, difficult to control thought in battle, high mental weakness (becomes extremely susceptible to mental.[psionic attacks)

Large Frame: Clumsy, is too big and bulky to move around well. Cannot climb narrow surfaces,

Bone Break: Due to bones constantly breaking and restoring during transformations certain joins and bones remain unfused making the joins and skull susceptible to damage. He is highly susceptible to concussions and head trauma.

High Metabolism: Burns through caloric resources very fast during transformation if he has not fed or is not feeding during the course of transformation.

Mental Handicap: *See Mental Attributes


General Abilities

Can catch the scent left behind any living or non-living being from up to 1,6k Meters. In the rain or marshy conditions his ability to scent is severely restricted, if not completely deferred.

Has full color vision, but has difficulty seeing still. Motion triggers feral instincts, running triggers chase instinct most notably.

High Metabolism requires massive amounts of protein. If not supplied ability to alter body shape is rendered completely useless.

While regeneration is possible for most breeds, being a born-lycanthrope his regeneration can be canceled out by allergy-poisoning due to his hybridism. Because of the lycanthropy magical curse, a sort of virus with magical properties similar to mummy rot: a vampire who has bitten a lycanthrope (wolf or otherwise) can inject its own venom, which cannot change an already changed being. A lycanthrope that is exposed to vampyr venom risks internal bleeding as the two viruses counter-act one another and damages the capacity to heal, which eventually kills the beast from ruptured, internal organs that were eaten away by the battling viruses.

Please Note this is just for reference and not necessarily used in freeform combat.
