The world at large:
Lycans and Weres are prevalent throughout the
world.
1.
The US has accepted them as viable citizens in
the Magical World as well as the Mundane/Regular world.
2.
Great Britain’s Mundane/Regular world accepts
them as viable citizens but their Magical world which is still mostly hidden
does not. The British magical world for the most part treats them as second
class citizens.
3.
The European coalition like the United States
accepts them and has made accommodations that allow them to fit into everyday
lift. (like some religions don’t allow you to work

3 days a month (the day before, the day of, and the day
after the full moon)the need or desire to switch to animal or half animal form
is practically irresistible but if they’ve accepted the change there is little
pain and no loss of self. If one has not
accepted the changes there is horrible pain which drives the human half of the
psyche away for the duration of the change. The animal half is angry at being
repressed and crazed at the pain from the change. This situation is where they
crazed wolf-man stories come from and they aren’t far wrong.
The interesting physical aberration for these people is
if they fully accept the changes to them, the lycanthropy disease disappears
leaving all the blessings of the race behind. So long as they changes are not
accepted the disease is still apparent and can be found/determined by blood
test.
Vampires:
Vampires are real. No one knows how the first one came to
be but they’ve existed for thousands of years by this point.
Need Blood to live
Can live off of
animal blood but their abilities suffer so most will build a circle of humans
they feed from or will hunt populated zones leaving false memories in place of
the feeding.
Do not have to
kill their prey (only the very young or renegades will do this)
Sunlight kills the young immediately but the older the
being the longer they can last in the Sunlight.
·
50 yrs old and younger sunlight = death.
·
50-100 they smoke and start to burn 5 minutes =
death.
·
100-200 add 5 minutes.
·
200-500 can go about 30 minutes but are in a
great deal of pain the entire time.
·
500-1000 the pain lessens there is still a great
deal of discomfort but can last about an hour in full sunlight
