All lycanthropes have the following powers:
**These powers are automatically given to ALL lycanthropes upon character creation. These are the main defining traits of a lycan.**
Shifting - (Accepted as a lycan)
This is the lycan's ability to shift into their beast form. With bones shifting, tissue tearing, and muscles contorting, this process is known to be extremely painful. It always is an uncomfortable process but it is said the first two years of shifting are the worst. Outside of the full moon, relatively new lycans are known to shift for other reasons such as emotions or sex. The shift is usually involuntary and oftentimes can result in an injury to anyone standing too close. Stronger lycans (Some Betas, all Alphas) can control their transformation, able to keep their beast calm and non-shifted or a partial shift to a hybrid human-wolf form.
Improved Strength, Senses, and Resilience - (Accepted as a lycan)
When infected or born with lycanthropy, there is an immediate increase in strength, resilience, and their senses. Their strength does depend on their natural size and their level of power as a lycan, but even the weakest are much stronger than a human. Their senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing) are enhanced and angled in on a more defined level even in human form. Lycan's are much harder to damage than a human as well, and under most circumstances will recover from almost anything. The two exceptions to this are wounds caused by silver and fire.
Regeneration - (Accepted as a lycan)
When a lycan does get injured, they are able to recover very fast and they have the ability to regenerate any body part needed. For instance, if their arm is tore off in an accident, they can easily regenerate it. Wounds caused by silver, fire, vampire/lycan teeth or claws are much harder to heal though, and oftentimes require actual medical assistance.
**In the next two posts, you'll find the powers available to lycans within each rank, the specific species powers, and the requirements to advance ranks. You will also find what powers you may have in starting out at different ranks. The points required to buy each power are listed beside of them. To obtain powers, please post your request in the Powers Request Board!**

RANK POWERS Ranks Powers
RANK POWERS
**These are the standard lycanthrope ranking powers. All lycanthrope species can purchase powers from this list!**
OMEGA
**Starting out as an omega, you do not receive any powers except those listed in the first post.**
Emotional-Shifting Control - (5 points)
This power allows the lycan to control his or her shifting in times of heightened emotions. These emotions include anger, fear, sadness, anxious, ect. Although they can control it at the time of emotion, the lycan will need to shift in a 12-hour period following the suppression. It is more of a power to post-pone shifting until it is more convenient for the lycan so they are able to move to a safe place and avoid injury to those around.
Pain Tolerance - (10 points)
Unless inflicted by silver or fire, the lycan has a higher resistance to pain. The reaction is much less than an average human would experience.
BETA
**In order to become a Beta, you must have ALL Omega powers and at least 2 Beta powers. These Beta powers must come from below.**
**Starting out as a Beta, you get ALL of the Omega powers,and 2 of the rank Beta powers.**
Accelerated Shift-Coma - (15 points)
When lycan's shift from their human form to their beast and back to human form in a short time (under 2 hours), they usually experience what is known as a shift-coma. This means that the lycan is too weak after their transformation back human to do anything and they crash, sleeping to regain their strength. This slumber can be anywhere from 10-15 hours, usually 12 hours on average. During this time, the lycan cannot be woken up. This power lessens that shift-coma, only requiring about 2 hours of sleep for the lycan to recover.
Command of Animal - (15 points)
This power allows for the user to be able to call and command their animal. For example, werewolves can command wolves.
Foresight - (20 points)
The user is able to see small attacks a few seconds before they occur. Can only be used once per thread.
Intimacy Manipulation - (20 points)
Lycans are known for their desires for sex and intimacy. This power allows for the lycan to manipulate their beast during sexual intercourse to allow for greater pleasure for both.
Charging Beast - (30 points)
This power gives a ghost image of lycan’s beast charging at a victim. This power does no physical damage and is usually used as a startle tactic. It can only be used once per thread and the victim must be in sight. If the person can block metaphysical attacks, the power will be void.
ALPHA
**In order to become an Alpha, you must have ALL Omega, 3 Beta Powers, and 2 Alpha powers. The third Beta power (need 2 to become a Beta) can be from above or 'at least Beta ranking' in specific species powers; however the 2 Alpha powers much be purchased from the normal Alpha ranking.**
**Starting out as an Alpha, you get ALL of the Omega Powers, 2 of the rank Beta powers, an additional Beta power from either rank or species specific (must say 'at least Beta ranking'...these powers are found in next post), and 2 of the rank Alpha powers. All species specific Alpha powers must be bought with power points.**
Commanding - (20 points)
This power instills fear into a weaker lycan, making them much more susceptible to follow orders or commands. This can also be used on other alphas if the target is substantially weaker. This is a cross-species power, meaning it can work on lycans out of species.
Fast Shift to Beast - (30 points) - UNAVAILABLE TO BE PAIRED WITH 'FAST SHIFT TO HUMAN'
When a lycan transforms, it is a painful and slow process. Bone break and remold, muscles tear and reform, flesh is torn and hair is grown. With this power, the lycan is able to shift almost instantly without any side effects such as pain or dizziness. The ability, paired with the power to fast shift back to human is an extremely rare power.
Fast Shift to Human - (30 points) - UNAVAILABLE TO BE PAIRED WITH 'FAST SHIFT TO BEAST'
This is the same power as Fast Shift to Beast, only back to human form. The process is quite fast and there are usually no side effects. The two abilities paired is a very rare power.
Take the Beast of Others - (30 points) -
This power allows the user to willing take the beast and transformation for another. Most commonly this is seen when a lycan becomes pregnant and the shift will risk the life of the baby. This is an honorable power and usually other alphas look up to this individual because of the risk of a foreign beast taking control.
Partial Shift- (35 points)
This power allows for the user to shift certain parts of their body into their animal or half-animal form. Most of the time, this power is used to shift the claws or teeth of the animal for combat purposes. This is also a rare power.
Facial Manipulation - (35 points)
Allows for the lycan to distort their face in a way to look like that of someone who would resemble them (i.e: a cousin, or a sibling.) It is not an illusion but the muscles and bones actually reshaping the face of the person the lycan thinks about.
Shadowed Beast - (40 points)
This power brings a big intimidation with it; only strong alphas can obtain and manipulate it. This power creates a shadow behind the lycan of their beast, letting everyone know how strong they are and what they possess.
Control Shift of Others - (40 points)
Usually only leaders possess this power, but there are those alpha's that are able to control the shifting of others within their group. This power can aid in preventing a shift or force one. In terms of preventing, the alpha emits a calming aura that the target becomes surrounded in. With this aura, the beast's desire to leap forth is forgotten and the lycan will not change. However, when forcing a shift, the process is much more painful than a normal transformation. In essence, it is like pulling the target inside out to force their change. Only works within species. |
