Hibiki's personal reference! No stealing as it is commissioned art! Not all Howlers look like this!

◆ Glowing eyes with no pupils in feral form and beautiful golden eyes (with or without pupil, also with or without glowing) in human form.
◆ Eerie howl behind all words that are spoken, breaths taken, or any sound that comes from the mouth while in feral and human forms.
◆ In both feral and human forms, teeth, nails, and toenails are sharpened to a razor point and glisten a beautiful white and silver that can cut through steel.
◆ No heart beat heard nor felt within their body, almost as if the organ is missing.
◆ Howler tongues are extremely elastic muscle, with minimal effort they can stretch their tongue several inches longer and bloat it up to more than twice its usual thickness.
◆ Horns (can differ in size shape and thickness from Howler to Howler) adorn the top of their head in feral form and is usually the first to appear when attempting anthro form.
◆ Feral form of Howlers will almost ALWAYS be very similar to Hellcats/dogs or Chimeras.

There is only 2 ways a Howler can come into being.

1. They were experimented on AFTER the progenitor's creation. There are still religious sects in Japan and possibly now all over the world that still follow the practices and myths as the ones who created the progenitors. Howlers made this way are considered more "pure" to what Howlers are and are referred to as Nobles. OOcly, this would mean that the Progenitors both would have to accept you as Howler and you would have to create a whole new character and profile.

2. The person drank the progenitor's blood at least 6 times to attempt to become a Howler. Their blood is like drinking decayed flesh and sulfur at the same time so many can't even get past the taste or smell and usually fail right there. The blood must be drank each time without puking. Each time the blood corrupts the person more and more offering a small increase in stats for a small amount of time. However, the blood begins eating away at the person's insides, slowly but surely, and is like a disease. The 6th and final time, the change or death begins to take place. There is a 60% chance the person will die and only a 40% chance they will survive. Even then it is uncertain if the person will become a full Howler or just posses some of the attributes.

****Please note!!!: OOCly, before you drink the 6th dose of blood, you HAVE to consent in a message that your character may die!! There is no coming back!!! Please see the Rules section of the group for more rules on this method of becoming a Howler!!!***There CAN NOT be a species/ race subtype of Angel, Holy, Seraph, or any divine power subtypes at all!!!***

Noble Howlers are essentially the "purest" form of a Howler next to a Progenitor. They will receive all the above base stats, with their level (mentioned below) considered. You must be accepted by both Progenitors in order to become a Noble. Nobles have to, at some point in time after the Progenitors, have been experimented on for at minimum a year. This process of becoming a Howler can be very painful and many subjects die. Only the strong will survive. Yet even when one is strong, you can still be weak. Some Howlers may even experience amnesia of their "human" lives, not remembering really who they are. Yes despite being born quite powerful, they will only get stronger with time as would any species. The older the Howler, the stronger they are.

They will have their own predetermined special "ability" that they will slowly harness as their own. As they harness this power their feral form changes slowly to reflect their ability. Further more, as they age, they will find they can assume an "anthro" form. This means some attributes of their feral Howler form will show through such as horns, wings, tail(s), etc. Nobles also tend to look down upon the Constructs, viewing them as dirty power hungry vermin. After all, who would choose this life? A Noble's stats will also typically be higher than that of a Construct.

Further more, when you submit your Noble Howler form, you will need to state what their power will be for the Progenitors to approve. Also, you will need to state which level below they are at and should be relative to the age of the Howler.

Level 1- Newborn Howler: A newborn howler will have the base stats of a typical Howler and CAN NOT take feral form yet!!! They have no idea what their own specific abilities will be.

Level 2- They can now shift to a Howler form which will not have too many traits to separate it form a basic Howler form. They are just starting to realize the basics of their own specific ability such as type. However, they can't control even the most basic skill with this ability. It comes at random.

Level 3- They are coming into their own power more and more! Their Howler form is now starting to take on it's own traits (ex: cold Howler would have a cold fire or something). They can now control the basic skills of their own ability and one or two intermediate skills.

Level 4- Their feral form is now done taking on its unique characteristics and they can now use their own basic abilities easily and intermediate abilities are becoming less of a hassle. They are beginning to learn advanced skills of their power. They are also now starting to attempt an anthro form. However, they can not manage to get the exact traits they want to stay. The traits happen at random.

Level 5- They are now a fully capable Howler! They can morph into an anthro form and use advanced personal skills as well as everything else from Level 4.

Level 6- Alpha- Progenitor: Only the two progenitors can take this level (thus far maybe). at this level they have control over other lesser level Howlers, no matter if the others like it or not! Their word is law! They now have the ability to create other Howlers with their cursed blood. They also gain a second ability.

Please see the Noble's rules located on the Rules page if you're interested!

Constructs are creatures who at some point yearned for just a touch of the fantastic demonic power of the Howlers. They do not need the Progenitor's authorization OOCly, however, the player does need to play a game of chance if their character will be turned into a Howler or not. Construct Howlers faced just a fraction of the pain and misery that the Progenitors and Nobles went through in becoming what they are. Likewise, their powers and abilities are watered down and will typically be less powerful than Nobles. The only Constructs who can hope to be as strong as a Noble are the ones who were very lucky and managed to become full Howlers in their change. In this aspect, all Constructs who are less than 50% Howler can have Howler as their sub-species.

Constructs can only be made through the act of drinking the Progenitor's blood on at least 6 different occasions. Becoming a Howeler this way is very much like becoming a Vampire. No matter what you roll, your character will, in some way die. Even if they "live" they are not longer themselves any more and are a little more crazed then what they would normally be. When you, the player, have played your game of chance and have succeeded, never-mind how insignificant, you must submit the Construct form to the Construct profiles area of the forums. This is so we can keep up with who is what and check out what your intended ability will be.
