Lycan Warrior

The ancient curse of lycanthropy is feared by nearly all peoples & cultures, as well coming in myriad of forms. Either by surviving an attack from one such beast, borned to a parent who is inflicted by it or even a divine being "blessing" you, that said same curse now courses through you. While others suffering from this live in fear of the beast within or are consumed by it, becoming a monster, you have managed to gain a degree of control of the beast.

There are those who use magical rituals, items or even rumoured blood spells to control the curse within. But not you. Through either sheer force of will, mental fortitude or by forming a deal with the beast, you can unleash the infamous hybrid form for short periods of time. You have even gained benefits while in your natural form as well. Yet this isn't prefect, & without care & focus, even the strongest warrior can temporarily lose themselves to the monster within.

While the most commonly known form of lycanthropy are the werewolves, they are far from the only type to haunt the world & the planes. Each one having their own unique strengths to bring down upon their prey.
