Were-Beasts Information

Name of the Race: Were-Beasts


Were-Cats Leader Madeo (JJ}

Werewolves Leader Gawain (Crow)

Summary: These creatures are mostly the bridge between the gap of humanity and the savage animals among them these creatures are skilled and brutal killers of the world, they will try and do anything that they must to stay alive. These beings will always be around lingering in the shadows as true hunters of Hollows and the world itself. Welcome to the age of Beasts.

How long have they existed?: They existed for about 2000 years, sometimes showing their presence for people to see. The Were-Cats and Werewolves showing themselves for the world to see. For example some have come to surface in times of War. Showing their fangs for people to see. None are able to claim the age of 2000, that age is off limits as they died out. The oldest one is allowed to claim is 1000, they must first clear it with myself.
Sub Race of: Human
Orientations: They are fairly open to most races, however as one would expect they will eat basically any of the races.

Aesthetics: The changes will depend greatly upon the race of Were they are becoming. For example a humanoid leopard or wolf is the outcome for those who under go that path. It should be known the amount of changing will depend on age of the creature and the skill of them. They are known to be able to shift things down to just their legs and arms if need be. This alone grants them a great physical advantage over the regular people they come across. For example the simple changing of their legs will allow a greater speed boost for those who can perform this task. The body will turn into an animal-humanoid form.


Additional Racial Powers:

Feral Instinct
They have a greater instinct then any of the others perhaps. The feral knowledge they gain from the other half helps them gain a better idea, their senses of hearing and smell are far above average. This doesn't just leave them to human senses, they can smell and detect spiritual energy. Things like that trigger on the radar for them without any problems what so ever. This fact remains fruitful that they are able to detect these things with the slightest amount of effort. This allows them a great degree of Feral instinct in and out of their animal form.

Survivability
This is something that everyone down to the Bears has a great deal of power into. The powers that they have to stay alive and go without eating is beyond the regular. Unlike the cousins that people came up with known as Vampires. The Were's don't require so much feeding, they are also able to take amazing amounts of punishment and regrow lost limbs and organs with a fair amount of time. Some are extremely skilled at staying alive tot he extent the loss of a single vital organ can be minor to them, however this like all things takes time. They can make more from what they had lost during the time of it's missing when they do this they will become true monsters again. They may take a huge amount of punishment and may come back stronger at times before of it.

Ferocity
This is a skill that makes the animal come out even more, when backed into a corner and nearly dead limiters are removed from their body. They no longer will acknowledge pain, only the blood of the enemy before them. They become machines of war ready to kill and rip things to pieces that lay before them, this makes them extremely dangerous killers. The Ferocity will engage and remove whatever human trace that is holding them back from play. It will become an animal out for killing, with common sense intact by a small amount. This will allow them to kill without feeling anything, the amount of power when this mode is engaged will depend greatly on the creature put into Ferocity.

Animal Form
Like most Were's all should at some point learn to take on the form of animal they are akin to. This allows them a good deal of hiding power, for in this form they cannot be detected as anything but said animal of the human world. Leopard or something like that for example would be normally undetectable. This form is accessed by taking a turn to do so. Unless they enter, it takes a single turn to go out of it.

Animal Skin
Their skin isn't quite the same as the every run of the mill human, they have a much more sleek and tough flesh then someone would expect when changing forms more over then anything. Their skin is like armor in some cases, in others it also such fluid movement that one would say they were more graceful then the most agile dancer in the world. The skin allows them some far greater skills and resistance to metals and spiritual attacks. (Cero, Hell Blast, etc) This skin is stronger when fully transformed and thus gives them a greater power in the form they have taken. Their Human body has 20% Resistance to physical and spiritual attacks. It will jump to 30% when in full form.

Environment Bonus
Much like the wild beasts when they feel truly at home in a place it's like being able to use everything to your advantage down to the aspects of fear that comes from knowing you are the prey before the hunter as he stalks you in the shadows. It's the same fear they may put out, when in such a place that is similar to home. They are able to truly become monsters of the world and show people the type of fear that they rarely will ever come across. When in this environment they will show greater speed then others in it, depending on method of travel. For when an animal is hunting on it's home turf it's very likely they will have the home field advantage.

Enhanced Strength
The Animal like fury that comes with this power is said to give a werewolf the power to bench press a semi-truck with a single arm. This power is something that is amazingly great. However this enhanced power only gets this strong when in the hands of the Wolfs, The cats gain such a different presence of power that it's frightening. They are indeed strong, making them dangerous before all mortals and creatures that they encounter that aren't correctly ready for the fight to come from the beasts that come out to play in the darkest dreams of this world.


Enhanced Speed
Now the subtle yet graceful poise of the feline comes into play here, they are considered to be faster then most werewolves. Some are built more into speed which allows them decent practice keeping up. The two are very different animals, the cat's graceful poise showing it's deadly nature in the speed that it has. The power to prowl and come forward from shadows making it a dangerous and deadly foe for those foolish enough to face down the cat. The wolves are faster then humans and some creatures they encounter. But the two races being depicted to for examples sake are simply examples. Lions for example may tap into power instead of speed, each is free to dance as they please.

Partial Transformation
Only the older members of the clan are capable of performing this task. Even then unless they are leaders most of the time they may only do so with a single portion of their body. The Werecats and Werewolves leaders are perhaps two of the extremely rare creatures that can heighten senses and give themselves an extra burst of skill nd power to their body when they are fighting. This half transformation allows them a great deal of power in the limbs or other gifts that come along with the power given.


Additional Racial Forms:

Changing
They are able to take on a beast of a form that can come from the full moon depending on the youth, they will suffer from the fact that they are unable to resist the special powers the moon brings forward. Changing them into their true form, all general stats in this form are brought up to a higher level and this will give them a greater deal of power beyond what one would expect. All Humans whom become this will be able to gain this, however newer werewolves will lose their senses as will other species. Basically they become a fur covered killing machine with only the sense to obey an Alpha which could be anyone from the King of Wolves to the King of Cats, it will all depend on the situation.


Race History: Born into the world among the beginning that came for this world. They were more rumor and heresy back in those days, during the first of the kinds being around. This was of course the way they were meant to be of course. Such hidden hunters that killed easily, back in the times when the Romans and such were around their wasn't much trouble killing them without worry of people finding out. After all in this age people would dismiss this as a simply animal attack. Animals such a common misconception for the people of the era. It was almost like they begged to be slaughtered. But inner turmoil was tearing at the Cats and Wolves. The two largest leading clans in all of the Were-Beasts. Their leaders of the time were so young, that they almost risked and exposure that would of destroyed the entire kingdom. Their new powers made them greedy, thousands of cats and wolves died during the wars that seemed to ignite ever time their seemed a glimpse of peace. Finally two of the youngest cubs and pups seemed to bring forward the objection that this needless fighting was getting them no where. That they were not mere beasts whom fought to kill one another without mercy.

This fact wasn't viewed by most with open arms, this has caused the numbers of each to dwindle down to the bare amounts around them. The Kings of each time gave birth and continued their lines. The oldest of the Wolves seemed to keep from the conflict. The true Alpha's seemed to be in hiding deciding that the young ones had this whole bloody war figured out. Several werewolves had sided with the Romans and Spartan's at the time. The Cats had always bee in Persian favor so remained with those of well let us say a more opened minded view. The times seemed to come forward, the battle of the three hundred was a good showing of the true power that comes from Werewolves and Cats when they fight. Only a couple men their were such, they did die of course. These weren't immortal by any means, one forgets often that these beings are far from immortal. As time advanced forward now to a more common and up to date time period. The new Kings were just waiting for the stage to appear, the King of Cats and the King of Dogs were about to make themselves known to this world. Among the many beasts that lurk in the shadows, wolves and cats are but the major players. Others lurk in darkness waiting to be seen in the light.
