This site is for role play lovers to come and enjoy a fun game of werewolf. While the werewolves we imagine ourselves in the game are much different than the ones that "existed" long ago, there is a common lore that is shared behind all. Read on, the fact and fiction of werewolves.

Werewolf stories were commonly heard among the people of early Europe. Terrifying stories of wolves, attacking farmers and villagers. Eventually the horrible stories got so gruesome, travelers would completely stop their trekkings, and many moved far, far away from the woods.

LYCANTHROPE DISORDER The idea of werewolves came about when men and women started to claim that they had changed physical form under the night. From human to beast. There is now, a scientific approach to such cases. "Lycanthrope Disorder" describes a disease where the person only changes mentally to beast. Imagining that they are animal. One of the causes is said to come from a type of fungus that grows on wheat. If the fungus infects bread, and a person eats it, they could become terribly ill, with hallucination. There is also a saying about a plant, when eaten or smelt, would turn a person into a werewolf. The plant, is therefor, now called 'wolfbane'. Wolfbane, like the fungus, also has proven to have mind altering effects on a human.

Though you should ask, if accused people had all along been under hallucination, why did so many choose to believe during this time, that they were transforming into a wolf?

BECOMING A WEREWOLF As so it goes, a person becomes a werewolf by being cursed by someone they have wronged, being bitten by a werewolf, or by being born a werewolf. A werewolf may transform to beast whenever he feels. The "full moon" idea is strictly from the movies. There are two types of werewolves: There is a partial-change werewolf, where the creature is half man, half beast. There is also full, when the subject changes completely to wolfbeast.

INSTINCTS.. The mind being human and wolf, a werewolf is very intelligent, and may recognize humans, human traps, and human dangers. Possessing the instincts of a wolf, a werewolf may feel the need for a pack. Werewolf packs are started when the original werewolf bites a human, transferring its own blood to alter the subject to werewolf. Werewolf packs are very destructive, and may grow. The leader of the pack, the original werewolf, is called the Alpha. Any others besides the Alpha are called Beta werewolves. Alpha and Beta werewolves feel a close companionship as wolf instincts allow, and the Betas all share the same blood as the Alpha werewolf.

CURING THE WEREWOLF Because of the constant replacing of skin tissue during transformation, werewolves are immortal to aging or severe wounds to the flesh. The only way to kill a werewolf is to severely harm its internal organs. Thus came about, the "silver bullet through the heart of the werewolf", though a werewolf's fear of silver is untrue. According to some legends, calling the human name of the werewolf will force them to change back. Or by killing the original werewolf, although this would seem untrue because its Beta's have already taken in the Alpha's blood. No matter you kill the werewolf, if the beast has tasted human blood, the transformation from human to werewolf is irreversable.
