Culture and lifestyle-

Blessed werewolves can form packs or tribes with alphas, Betas and Omegas. there are blessed werewolf's labeled by tribes and packs as lone wolves due to being packless or not belonging to a tribe.

werewolves in a tribe are nomadic and don't stay in one location for long. They do this to make sure they don't over hunt an area, to not be discovered or just to wonder around. A tribe of blessed werewolves will have up to 7 or 14 werewolves and and a small amount of normal people maybe 20 or more. Tribes are led by an Alpha and 2 elders, elders are not werewolves . betas in a tribe are ether a mate or a second in command. Tribe werewolves have an better affinity with nature and raise good druids and rangers.

Werewolves in a pack are slightly different. Instead they stay in towns, cities or villages bordering a large forest, in packs of 6-12 so they can hunt. Pack werewolves will hide there nature from the public and act like a gang ether as protectors or defenders. Pack werewolves are slightly more aggressive and defensive about protecting the pack due to living around people. As such thay take pack secrecy very seriously and anything that might endanger the pack. There will be no more than one pack per area, werewolves are territorial by nature and a turf dispute is a bloody and violent affair. Pack Werewolves have an affinity with stealth and deception. So they make good rouges and fighters.

Werewolves identified as lone wolves live nomadically and make grate adventures. They are more likely to go solo and hide there nature and not form friends or attachments. However lone wolves have to be careful about entering into a tribe or packs territory and may have to pay tribute to not comate a dominance dispute. but it can be forgiven due to most lone wolves don't even know about packs or tribes and might even ask if they can even join.

[You can not have the following alignments- lawful good or neutral]

Due to your predator nature and of what you are if your not part of a pack or a tribe you are likely to hide yourself and of what you are from others. If others knew or found out about you they are likely going to run away or try to kill you out of fear. They may even put a bounty on you or rat you out. this has most werewolves, Blessed or otherwise hide them selves away or live in plane site, live a solitary life or nomadic tribes or packs

Werewolves are seen as feral ravenous beasts. and some are just that. so if you are going to revile your self make absolutely suer its with people you trust with your life.   

and werewolf's tends get into trouble ether out of stupidly being young and foolish , being found out , tribe politics or any other adventures. just because you stop ageing and have fantastic rapped healing dose not mean you are invincible.
