Wolf kin

Introduction

Men and women who are foolish enough to travel alone at night have reported being attacked by savage large wolves, these men and women come back covered in claw marks and bites quickly developing fevers and hallucinating, some reporting their senses becoming overwhelmingly enhanced to the point were the softest whisper is unbearably loud, Over night their bodies start to change, Their bones breaking and reforming causing them extreme amounts of pain, Their hair growing at rapid speeds until finally they are no longer recognizable, No longer seen as man but as a beast, a Wolf.

Origin

It is said that the very first Alpha Wolf kin was created by the aspects in axios as a way to help protect the natural balance, From there the Wolf spread this ‘gift’ to others but this gift didn’t come without consequences, to unlock the power of the wolf one must go through the painful processes of transformation, giving up their old form for a short amount of time in order to better serve the aspects and their course. If a Wolf kin were to upset the balance in any way they risk having their power taken away and going back to the way they were before infected. One of a Wolf kin's many goals is to purge undead and unnatural beings from axios, as well as helping and protecting druids and natural animals, Wolf kin being nature's perfect body guards.

Appearance

The size of a Wolf kin in Wolf form depends on the size they are in normal form, the larger the person the larger the Wolf, It's easy to tell a normal wolf from a Wolf kin due to their oddly large size and there extremely large teeth and  claws, Much sharper than that of a normal wolf, able to tear most things to shreds, another way to tell a Wolf kin from a normal wolf is the eyes, the eyes of a Wolf kin are usually yellow or blue and can glow in the dark, In both human and wolf form.

The average person being about the size of a dire wolf in wolf form.

The very First transformation

After being bit by an alpha Wolf the infected person will start to feel sick within the next couple days, the symptoms include rashes all over the body, extreme fever, hallucinations, vomiting and extreme headaches. This usually lasts for a couple days before finally one night the infected person will feel unbearable amounts of pain as their bones break and snap and reform for the very first time, a stinging sensation covering their body as hair grows at rapid rates, this often being very traumatic for the infected person as they turn into a Wolf for the very first time, they will be stuck in a full transformation for an entire elven day.

Transformation

Wolf kin are able to change forms at anytime it wishes and there are three different types of transformations, The first is a full transformation: This transformation process is the most painful one but gets less painful for more the Wolf kin transforms, it involves every bone in the person's body breaking and reforming as well as growing a thick coat of fur along their entire body, some people even passing out from the extreme pain it causes their first few transformations, leaving the Wolf kin very open and exposed to attackers who wish to harm it, the same process applies when transforming from Wolf form back to their normal form this processes usually takes 5-6 minutes or 3-4 detailed emotes.

The second is a half transformation: This transformation is not as painful as the last, it involves only growing the sharp claws and teeth of the Wolf, This transformation can be done in less than a minute only requiring 1-2 emotes.

The third is a semi transformation: This transformation is painless, Only the eyes change form, this can be done in a couple seconds and only needs 1-2 emotes.

 

Example of a full transformation

*Bob would scream out in pain as the bones in his hand start to break making awful snapping sounds, The bones in his hands starting to reform as the bones in his arms started to break, Bob falling on the ground in pain as the same processes is continued on his feet and legs.

*Bob would continue to scream in pain as he curled up into a small ball on the floor bringing his knees up to his chest as the bones in his legs continued to snap, bob eventually passing out from the pain, his body now a deformed mess on the ground that once resembled a human, his bones continued to snap all over his body.

*Bob would continue to lay there unconscious as the last of his bones snapped, Now they would start to reform themselves starting in his hands and feet, The broken bones taking the shape of paws as they started to set, This processes continuing up to his legs and eventually his entire body would take the form of a hairless Wolf.

*Bob’s skin would start growing hair at a rapid rate as his skull now cracked, taking the form of a Wolf's skull as the hair continued to grow all over his body, quickly covering him completely in a thick white coat of fur, two furry ears moving from the side of his head to the top, the transformation now complete Bob would slowly regain consciousness.

+1 And as one of the people who helped him, this got out REALLY good! Congratulations, jye!

[MissToni 3565]

+1 ^w^ I really like this idea, and I hope it will work out(even if people will be against it) My opinion is that it should not be a common thing, but have the rarity of frost withces, like max 10 people being one at a time or something. But great work, I would love to be one if it works out.

It's 6:55 AM and I haven't slept at all. I will have to read this later on today once I have actually slept. Until then a suggestion from me personally would be to lighten the font color just a tab bit to increase readability. Maybe that's just a personal preference though.

I'll come back to this and edit in a proper response later.

If you're gonna make werewolves at least call them that rather than some "I identify as a wolf" tumblr ****.

[jyecarson 124]

Werewolves aren't just called werewolves... they were called wolf kin, wolf man, lycanthropes and so on... but yes, the most common, or the ones we usually use are werewolf

There's been many suggestions for vampires and werewolves. Not to put them in the same boat, but they kindof get that with the territory. None have ever actually gotten anywhere.

 

What I think is more likely to gain an implementation is avoiding the shapeshifting and to have an infectious disease that makes you monstrous and to feast on raw flesh. To have a wolf creature (and just call it werewolf because whatever you want to call it they will miraculously be granted the name through meta and there's no stopping it) that is so heavily overcome with negative effects that there is very little drawcard to playing one, except for creating villain type RP. Rather than becoming a wolf person you become a physically disfigured (whatever race you were before) person, overcome with an insatiable hunger and with a constant psychological battle against a primal urge that is completely foreign to your civilised mind. I have contemplated writing some lore that I anticipate being more favourable to staff but haven't really had the interest to see it through. But good luck to you. If it is denied without much reasoning I guess you could talk to me about some reworks.

 

I remember in a small town there was a girl who contracted some kind of disease and had random spats where she would go and hunt down living creatures to drink on their blood and eat the flesh. It was really cool because her rolelpay became so very interesting, but she received no benefit from it. And you never really knew when she might just start feasting on ya.
