Generic Lycanthrope Powers

[bloodreflection]

New Moon/Virgin Moon
The signs of infection have yet to truly take a hold of yet, your body begins to show random uses of the new abilities and senses you have gained, moments where your strength randomly increases with out adrenaline, days when you can hear your mother and brother talking up stairs as you walk up the drive way. These are some of the signs you have been infected with lycanthropy, though it does not always become obvious you have been infected the scratch or ass kicking you where handed having healed rapidly afterwards fading to just scratches and marks, making you doubt it truly happened if you don’t know better.

*Enhanced Body: There are some things you may notice randomly, your strength has increased by at least ten times its normal amount, you have become faster then the best Olympic sprinter, capable of covering distances quickly and with ease, along with this comes an unnatural agility, a grace which allows you to evade danger like no mortal or even undead could ever hope to match. You notice that you have little issues with pain now, blows which would kill you harm you, bruising blows feel like glancing blows and normal punches and kicks, there sort of like bumping into a basketball, irritating at best.

*Regeneration: A lycanthropes metabolism is much better then a humans, do to this you eat more, but you also heal faster and better, there are a few things though which straight up trump your healing regardless of level or ability, that’s fire, vampire claws/teeth and Silver, wounds suffered by these sources heal at a normal rate of a human which for a lycanthrope can mean a unusual amount of down time. Lycanthropes can re-grow any limbs they have lost when they next shift, they fix broken bones with out needing to shift, though they can heal wrong and need to be broken again to heal properly if not set, it should be noted that massive traumatic damage is as lethal to lycanthropes as it is to humans and vampires, there is no coming back from a grenade blowing you limb from limb. Due to the nature of an lycanthropes regeneration a lycanthrope does not suffer from natural disease or poison, its body simply burns through it to quickly, while this is useful, a massive over dose of Tranquilizer or drugs can still effect a lycanthrope for a short period of time.

Weak

You have just suffered your first shift, the first full moons beck and call has called the beast from deep within to the surface, the change is painful, like nothing you have ever experienced in your life and it would mar your memory forever if you had the ability to recall any thing after your first shift. The first thing you do upon shifting is seek food, shifting takes allot out of you and you need to feed in order to regain the energy you lost while shifting, your pack/pride/Ambush or what ever group you belong to will ensure your safe for the few months to several months it may take you to begin to learn to control every thing, yes this includes when you pass out into a shift coma and they take you home and put you to bed for the 8 hours your going to be catching some Z’s. Your new abilities are a sensory over load and like any one learning some thing, it takes a time to learn and then master. For you it’s the beginning of a new a some times painful journey, you will find some things will invoke a shift without the help of the full moon, strong scents from blood, sex, other acts of violence or strong emotions will also cause you to shift into your animal form. For this reason many groups give weak lycanthropes a personal trainer of sorts who will help them grow t control the beast raging within there ever beating heart.


*Become the Beast: You have begun to notice your not alone any more, some where deep inside of you a beast lives, the darker side of man, this thing is not under your control as much as you fight to make sure it knows you are. It becomes emotional easily and when it does it tears forth from you forcing you to shift painfully once more into the beast, there are a few proven and known triggers, they are as follows, Sex the sight of or scent of, Strong Emotion, The sight of scent of blood, strong hunger and seeing watching others shift.

*Beast Aura: Every lycanthrope regardless of what type has a meta physical aura that comes from the beast inside of them, this aura is detectable at varying ranges depending on the level of the lycanthrope, Alphas can be felt much more easily then a weak can be. If a lycanthrope shields they can attempt to hide there beast to some degree of success from others around them and completely blocking out those weaker then themselves if completely shielded. Some special cases like gifted humans, sensitive humans or even vampires can “sense” the aura around you if you are not shielded, but unlike others of your species, they cannot tell what kind of lycanthrope you are, just that you’re a lycanthrope or “different” then themselves. The more powerful a lycanthrope, the more likely it is able to see through the shields of those weaker then it, a shielded moderate cant hide from a strong alpha what it is no matter how hard it tries.

*Aura Shield: Every lycanthrope has the basic ability to shield, though in the case of a weak the shield is only strong enough to stop there energy from leaking out like a radioactive waste and raising a red flag marking you to every creature capable of sensing meta physical aura as some thing special, or if your unlucky flagging you as prey for a stronger and different species of lycanthrope.

*Tell Tale Heart: Lycanthropes have the ability to sense if others are lying to them through many different means, the most common is through the changed beat of the heart, the shifting of body language or the unique scent which people give off when lying. It should be noted this ability while it does work on vampires a clever vampire or strong enough vampire is capable of fooling this as they do not need to breath so there heart does not need to beat, they can mask scent with other strong scents and they do not need to move and can remain perfectly still.

Weak Moderate
Your not weak anymore! But your not really strong either, your in that between phase where every things fine and every things not, its confusing your new powers but you try your best to keep up with them!

Pick 1[/i]
*Destiny’s Chosen: You may at this point choose to when ever the “pick 1/2” option comes up, Give up one of the normal core powers for an additional species (of your type of lycanthrope) power of your type.

*Fallen From Grace: You have discovered your kind is rare or not common in the city, you have developed the ability to learn as quickly as some with a teacher but on your own!, this comes through trial and error though and it can be to little to late in many cases

*Addicting: You are a rarity amongst lycanthropes, you draw vampires to you like a magnet when they know your around, your blood is rich and exotic, each sip makes there head spin and exalt in your praise, your blood is in short a drug for vampires and will cause addiction if drunk in success to often (3 times a week would do it) this addiction like all addictions can be broken. There is one requirement to have this ability, prior to being a lycanthrope you most have been a powerful empowered human so your residual meta physical energy from your former power blends with your current power and mixes in your blood making you a vampires drink of choice.

Moderate
You have managed to make it out of the jungle of senses and over load into the most populated form for lycanthropes, while many remain at this level there are others who push upward and onward amongst the ranks! Are you one of them?. Months or possibly a year have passed since your first shift and you find now you are in a harmony with your beast, perhaps one you thought you would never reach or only ever dreamed of it, but here you are and now there are only great things left for you to do right?.

Become the Beast v.2: The world as you know it has changed! Suddenly that little beast inside of you who used to cause you so much pain and anguish has come to an understanding with you and no longer do you feel at its mercy. You now only shift during extremely powerful emotions, Full moon, the command of an Alpha or allot of blood other then that you can pretty much with enough struggle curb kick the impulse. There is still a down side, when you shift and come out of it you still enter into a shifter coma for 8 hours.

Bestial Wrath: Some ones going to get a whole lot of hurtin! You have discovered your beast has teeth, claws and a nasty disposition to hurting or mauling others when you let it. Its become clearly obvious to you when you wish you can “Sick” your beast on other beasts, the weak cower and scream in pain from the assault of your beast on there own, people your own level hiss and groan at the pain but can ride it out like a punch to the gut, those stronger then you laugh at your sad attempts and immediately make you there bitch if the feeling so takes them and or take your lunch money leaving your pride bruised.

Beast Aura v.2: You now have a better chance to hide from others looking from you! You can completely shut out lycanthropes at the same level as you, that is unless you loss focus and they slip in, Alphas and others stronger then you are less likely to notice you if your shields are up and there not looking for you, though if they are, they will breach your shields with one good swift poke revealing you for what you are. This also helps you mask more tell tale signs others might notice such as your unnatural grace humans notice, or the yellow tint in your eyes you get from spending to much time as a beast, the shields help to cover these up in the sense your body seems less graceful, more human, your eyes seem to show the yellow less and shine less often in the light, it even helps twist some of those possible feral looks into more “sharp” features.

[bloodreflection]

Strong Moderate
The world is yours for the taking! Or it will be soon if you keep this up, you have become more in touch with your beast, no longer does it feel like a outsider but rather a pet you have grown fond of and very close to, you still have your moments but there getting better!. You have advanced further now then most others will and are officially the lowest level of management in most groups.

Become the beast v.3: you have stepped into a new world and every thing is so sharp and clear, no longer do you pass out when you come out of your animal form to your human form! Though you do feel like you went nine rounds with a heavy weight champ. Your memory now is perfect when you go in or out of your beast or human form, events blend together in perfect harmony and with that seamless beauty comes the ability to impose your will upon your beast when your in animal form, while your native and basic instincts are strong you can force yourself to stay in the fight when sane beasts would run, or even not eat that little girl who just slapped your nose and called you bad puppy.

Beast Aura v.3: you have become so adept at hiding what you are you can completely shut out the world around you, only those stronger then you now can detect you when your completely shielded, there is a down side to that, when your that shielded sensing others becomes increasingly harder unless there openly looking for another or there completely unshielded.


Bestial Wrath v.2: Your ability to inflict damage via your beast has gone up now that your approaching alpha!, you can cause a weak lycanthrope to be paralyzed in fear, or if your feeling mean you can as well or just literally just maul them, weak lycanthropes hit with this ability will have “Red” angry scratch marks appear as the meta physical damage is dealt, it is not possible to kill a weak with this ability, but it is possible to cause them to black out after awhile due to pain. Your powers knock Moderates on there asses and cause them to think twice about messing with you, as always those of equal level feel this power like a punch to the gut.

Weak Alpha
You are the newest member to a group of Elite lycanthropes in your group, you are the one the leaders turn to now, they hand you tasks such as teaching control through sex and watching over the weak as they grow like you once did. Your also now a soldier on the front line, your groups turf is defended by you and others like you, the shock troops of the battle field when it comes to it.

Beast Domination: you command the attention and respect of those weaker then you, you can force any one weaker then you to shift or to stop there shift, with the exception of the full moon. When you force stop some one from shifting they still pass out for a period of time, a lycanthropes body is not meant to stop mid shift and causes an incredible amount of strain on the body.

Become the Beast v.4: Nothing can cause you to shift! Well nothing but the full moon and even then you can withstand the allure of the beast for up to one hour, each minute is wrought with powerful emotions and pain as you resist the transformation.

[bloodreflection]

Alpha
Welcome to the jungle! we got fun and games, you now make up the bulk of the elite soldiers! You now get to look after those sniveling newbie’s and new moons!, damn all the luck right? ah well with great power comes great responsibility

Become the Beast v.5: You can now delay the call of the moon for two hours, you start to feel the strain after roughly half an hour.

Beast Aura v.4: you have nothing to hide and every to at the same time, your shields are perfect and flawless, but now there not just pretty shields, you can cause a meta physical “back lash” when others probe your shields, this ability effects empowered humans and vampires. This ability is not as painful as much as it is disruptive, any meta physical you use this on is simply over come by the power of your beast and is briefly stunned in shock from the sudden burst of meta physical energy. Also you can pass as a regular person, no unnatural grace, no noticeable yellow in the eyes etc.

Bestial wrath v.3: You can Ko weak lycanthropes with this ability, you can beat Moderates and Strong moderates into submission or paralyze them with your powers, weak alpha feel like a sack of bricks hit them, but they can keep on there feet, other alphas just feel like they got sucker punched.

Pick 2

Man to Beast: You can shift easily from your human form and into your animal form (in game this means a single post)

Beast to Man: You can shift easily from your beast form to your human form (in game this means a single post)

Dead eye: You cannot be rolled unless the vampire is at least one level higher then you (Alpha=Strong Master+, Strong Alpha=Council or powerful ancients, Leader Alpha=Council) Note a Lycanthrope can willingly be rolled if they so wish it (such as to experience an orgasm from a belle morte rolling them etc)

Partial Shift: This ability allows the lycanthrope to shift a body part into that of there beast, there head so they have teeth and a muzzle, or claws on there hands, this ability can be held for up to a hour and is generally used in a combat situation or some times as a cosmetic effect.

[bloodreflection]

Strong Alpha
If God had a son, you’d be it, you’re the crème de la crème, you could easily have a position of power if you wanted it, but who wants to have responsibility right?. Your looked up to and adored or feared by all below you, only other strong alphas and the Leader think of you as an equal or a lesser and even then… who says you won’t show em all someday right?.

Choose 2

Body shift: You have gained the ability to at will and given enough time change specific parts of your body as you wish, you can re arrange your weight, slightly change your facial construction, even alter the skin tone and the color of your eyes no more then a few shades (a white man cannot become black, but he could look Hispanic, a would could shift weight from her chest and rear to her upper body to make her look more bulky, these are all examples of how it could be done)

Flash Healing: You heal faster then other lycanthropes, so much faster in fact you heal even fire, vampire wounds and silver wounds faster then a typical lycanthrope, you heal them 1.5 times as fast as the typical like would, your also up and able to do things quicker after being wounded by these things.

Beast Decimation: There are two abilities that come with this, you can using your own energy hook and pull the beast out of any lesser lycanthrope of your own kind, by doing this you cause the target to shift in a single round, causing them immense pain and agony while doing this, once in there beast form they are weak and shaken. The second ability is to shove the targets beast deep within them and make it feel as if the tie to the beast had been severed and causing them to feel like there suffocating due to the process.

Surge: Some lycanthropes can enter into a frenzy of sorts while in combat or when threatened, this ability allows the lycanthrope to increase there speed and natural strength by 1.5 times there normal allowing them to over come others in a time of need. There is a huge back side to using this ability, even a strong alpha using this ability afterwards becomes exhausted and weak, muscles tear and slowly heal during this event, the longer they push there surge, the more likely they are to be seriously hurt.

Leader Alpha
You are the peek of lycanthrope society, you are the father or mother of an entire group of lycanthropes like yourself, it is your job to take care of them and keep them from harm, the burden is heavy but you most wear the mantle.

Mass Shield: As an alpha leader you can shield the call of your entire group, you do not have to answer the vampires call, but the more powerful the vampire calling the more you feel inclined to answer the call, even if its just to tear off there face.

Primal Call: You can reach out to every member of your group and speak to them through basic urges or wants, using this as an ability to communicate with many people at once through the most basic of means. An example is an urge of anger or fear and then the feeling of heading home.
