Werewolves

Also known as Rougarou.

The Origin

The origins of werewolves dates back to almost 265 BCE. The tale gets murky but if you ask any werewolf they will tell you the same. A starving family in a local village that had been destroyed from war sought food every night. One night their child fell sick and with no other humans around the father turned to an old tale he heard. The tale was about a wolf that lived in the wild deep forests. The wolf had powers no other animal could possibly possess. The father travelled far and wide until he found the beats in question. The wolf was described as beautiful with fur as white as snow and eyes that seemed to pierce the soul. The father hunted this wolf until one arrow through the heart ended the gorgeous beast. The father took the meat back to his family and cooked it. The daughter ate first then the rest of the family. As if by a miracle itself the daughter started to heal, even the family themselves felt better. Unbeknownst to them the tales were very much true. The wolf was magic made from the source of all magic itself, but to the family would soon be a curse. Upon the next night the family gathered around the fire enjoying their time when the moon, full and bright reached the top of the sky. Suddenly the daughter began screaming as the other members watched in terror. Next was her sister then brother soon after her mother and then the father himself. Before long the family resembled the very beast they hunted and so the first werewolf pack was born.

Creation

Bitten. Werewolves are created through a bite. The bite must be strong enough to draw blood for the person to change. Bitten werewolves are rare given that most werewolves bite to kill. There are some incidents where werewolves have fallen in love with humans and bite them to be together.

Born. Born werewolves or full blooded werewolves have more power throughout their ranking given that the family has passed down the lineage throughout history. Only full blooded werewolves have power or the ability to move up within ranks.

Alphas. Alphas achieve their rank through their family. I.ë next in heir and so forth. Due to the dwindling numbers in packs throughout the world “blood sports” or fighting for alpha is forbidden. Alphas tend to stay in power until they are too old or die. Alpha ranks are a big deal given they are in charge for so long. Alphas are respected by others and sometimes treated as royalty.

Betas. Betas are the members inside the pack. A lot of betas are the family that grew up inside the pack but mostly they are made up of wolves whose families have died or wolves who have left their original pack for other reasons. Betas have ranks among their own depending on their loyalty and work ethics. Most betas prefer to work within the pack and not obtain a higher title where other betas would love to be higher up.

• Deltas. These are the second in command betas that guard the Alpha.

Omega. Omegas are the wolves where their human and wolf side didn’t cohabitate correctly so therefore they are still by blood a werewolf but aren’t as strong or fast and heal much slower. They also cannot turn into a wolf.

Lone Wolf/Outcast. Legend has it the lone wolf can’t survive on their own due to needing the stability and protection of the pack. Few remain in the natural world and are usually picked off by other packs due to territory issues.

Ferals. Lone wolves due to lack of a pack i.e family/shelter/money etc usually turn feral. Feral is when they feed off of humans only causing the animal side to take over completely. After a certain amount of shifts they cannot turn back to humans and are more vicious/animalistic. This is where the legends steam in history of werewolf attacks and why werewolves have been hunted for so long. Packs nowadays take care of Ferals; killing them to protect their species/Identity.
