”Don’t fooled, there’s beasts in the woods with teeth of ivory and claws of obsidian.”
Everything happens for a reason, be it destiny or fate, and when it happens no one can stop it or stand in its way. Six years ago a group of kids had gone missing during a class camping trip, their tents unharmed, their belongings left behind, and their sleeping rolls gone as well. It is unknown what happened to them but after a year of searching the police had to call it off. There was no trace of them. But a link between each child was discovered…they had all shared a common heritage if traced back many generations. All had some form of Germanic heritage in their bloodlines. They are not talked about in a nearby town though, rumors have spread that mentioning their names will bring down the Lykos, the Lycans, the Rougarou….the Werewolves who stalk the forest. In the small town of Loupin, the myths of werewolves had begun to fade finally after many generations of talk and passing down stories. But with the arrival of a strange group of people, it seems too have started up again. Howls echo in the woods at night, coming from the direction of the cabin the ‘family’ had purchased. Pets have gone missing, more roadkill has popped up.
”We were given a second chance, a chance to be a part of something much greater and bigger than the human species.”
You are a part of that group that had come into town. Much has changed since the time you belonged too human society, six years to be exact. On that night six years ago, you had been given a second chance at a much better life. You had been taken away by the quiet sound of howling in the middle of the night and received the Bite. A gift that turned you into a Lykos, or Werewolf. But something has threatened you’re pack, encroaching humans and their cities who might find you’re pack and recognize you all. They could force you back too you’re old homes and split you up and that is not a risk you’re willing to take. So you bought a large, old, lakeside cabin for the pack too reside in just outside the town of Loupin. But rouge lykos are stalking the woods, attacking the humans and their silly pets, but you haven’t seen them head on yet and do not know if there is more than one. But something has to be done before you’re entire pack is put into danger again. You’re goal; Stop the rouge and the killings that could tumble you’re whole pack head first down the rabbit hole.

.:Werewolf Rules:.

• These werewolves have three separate forms that they take on. The first is their normal human form, they use this too blend in and keep their wolven traits hidden from the humans. The second is anthropomorphic and stands on two legs with the rest of the traits a wolf would have from a thick coat, muzzle, clawed fingers, tail, and ears. They stand much taller than an average human in this form and it is normally brought on by anger, a normal shift, or a shift forced by monkshood. And finally the third form. This is a full shift and is rarely used as coming back from it is extremely hard, in this form they are a full wolf and stand a little bigger than most wolves with more dire wolf traits. This is brought on by extreme cold, extreme anger, or a forced shift. Some may achieve it by will alone.
• Cold weather; snowing, hailing, winter, etc. trigger a full shift in all wolves exposed to it. It is easier to come back too from a cold weather shift then an angered or forced shift. Winter is often spent this way as avoiding it hard. The pack can still communicate through thoughts and mental pictures though.
• Monkshood; if ingested and not treated can kill a Lykos. If touched it can force a half shift or a full shift depending on the extent of exposure.
• The pack has common roles in it, each with a specific set of skills required for that role. The pack roles are as follows; Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Eta, Iota, and Omega. Each wolf will fill a specific role based on skill, body shape, and class.
• Warrior Class; Bigger builds, much larger than most other wolves including alpha, have ingrained loyalty and a need to protect others. Stealth Class; Thinner and much more lean, they tend to be a tad smaller than other wolves and are naturally cunnings. Hunter Class; Broad and agile wolves with athletic muscle, they are just over average sized wolves and have an ingrained and strong prey drive. Common Class; Average sized wolves who stand at an even height and are the base of most packs. They have basic skill sets but can be taught different ones. The most adaptable. Omega Class; They are the smallest of the wolves and don’t have much fighting or hunting skill. They have the ability to heal and calm a half of full shift wolf as well as soothe inner wolves and are highly protected.
