Homebrew Lycan (Born Werewolf) Species Details

Lore

It is unclear of how the Bloodlines came to be.  Was it a blessing from the gods or a curse for their disobedience?  Most believe that it was a curse brought down on a group of humans that didn't know their place or overstepped their boundaries.  These afflicted people continued to reproduce and thus the blood affliction spread from family to family, for thousands of years with no reason why or when it will stop.  Only during the full moon and intense battle will they lose control and bring further shame to the bloodline.

Society

Unless there is a full moon or Great Battle, the afflicted blends in with any and all humans.  They are human themselves, just with a secret they must fight each and everyday.  They hold down jobs, go on trips, join teams, and have families themselves...but once the full moon shows it's face, break out the chains and silver or you will have a blood fest on your hands. 

Physical Description

The afflicted Bloodline have a human form, beast form, and hybrid form:

  • Their human form is their “true” form. In humanoid form, The cursed appear no different than their original humanoid species.
  • Their beast form is a perfect reflection of the beast blood that courses through their veins except for the unusual spark of intelligence in their eyes.
  • In their hybrid form, The Cursed Bloodline resemble their original race except with fur covering their entire body, elongated fingers and nails, elongated feet, and the head of the beast. They can understand speech and speak, but it is more guttural and slow.
