werewolves
you'd know all about the madness within
werewolves are creatures, either bitten or born, that are afflicted with lycanthropy. during the full moon, they turn into wolves, losing their sense of self. The information below is all important for those interested in playing a werewolf (though everyone should be aware of this information, since werewolves will probably be a relative common place in this roleplay).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- A person can either be Turned into a werewolf by being Bitten or born from two werewolves.
- The only thing that the Ministry has outlawed is the hunting of werewolves. They are still heavily discriminated against, and they can be denied employment or service if the owner and proprietor of the establishment so chooses. It's best to keep the heritage a secret in most settings.
- In order to be born a werewolf, both of the parents must be Pureblood and werewolves themselves. Any hint of non-magical heritage eliminates the possibility of being born a werewolf.
- Werewolves transform at the full moon. They lose their minds entirely, becoming entirely animalistic and wild. Some werewolves allow the transformations to happen freely, others take precautions, such as locking themselves up during the full moon or taking a Wolfsbane Potion, which allows them to transform without losing their minds.
- When in their human form, werewolves take on canine characteristics, though most are subtle. Most have a dislike of cats and like their meat on the raw side, for example.
- Werewolves that have been Bitten tend to be smaller in size than born-werewolves.
- Werewolves suffer from extreme fatigue and are more susceptible to illness the week directly before and after the full moon.
- Werewolves can expect to live an average lifespan.
- If a female werewolf is pregnant, she won't change during the full moons until after the baby is born.
- werewolves and vampires have suffered from an age-long feud, and have gone to war with one another in the past. there is a treaty in place to keep from all-out war again, but violence between the two is still common. werewolves often smell of wet dog to vampires, and they're biologically predisposed to react negatively to one another.
