Rumors

Ah, well, that varies from author to author, because there isn't much info on them.

I can't remember everything I have written down for them, as I'm using the school's library right now (and I'll be leaving shortly, so if I'm gone for awhile it's not because I'm trying to bail out of this conversation...maybe ), but I'll try to remember what I can.

There are two breeds of werewolves, ones bitten and ones born. Born werewolves are like shapeshifters only their wolf is the normal size of a wolf, their transformation hurts, and their strength relies on the fullness of the moon. Bitten werewolves are the ones from lore; the crazy psychotic ones you can't help but run away from. They have to be chained so they don't go attacking any humans.

Silver hurts them, and vampires are a big threat to them because they don't smell any different than humans. To negate this, they have their own venom running through their bloodstream, and once a vampire takes a bite, he slowly dies.

This venom in the bloodstream is also used to make born werewolves immortal. They have to drink the blood of another werewolf, immortal, obviously, and in turn, they'll be stuck at the age they are. Bitten werewolves are immortal what-so-ever, stuck at the age they are bitten.

Up until 16, the color of their wolf eye is blue (like puppies) and afterwards it becomes one of four colors, each dignifying a different branch of the werewolf bloodline.

And that's good for now.

Hmm... Seems kinda heavily wieghed towards the vampires, don't you think? The only real advantage the were's have is that they kill the vamp that killed them, if the vamp in question bit the were it killed.

As for were society, the were's born with two were parents still smell like their were form and keep their muscle in their human form, while half-breeds (were parent, human parent) stay the way they were before they had their first change. Full were's are slightly stronger in were form, but half-breeds have more control over their shifting process, they shift faster, and it doesn't hurt as much since they have more human in them, keeping both forms balanced better.

Other than that, I think the bitten were's should be twice as strong as a born were, and other than the change during the full moon (which they have minimal to no control over, and sorta kinda remember, like trying to remember way back when you were two) they can't be distinguished from humans. However, if a vamp bites a bitten were, the change happens automatically, (then their strength relies on the moon) and they go on a rampage until the venom in their system either wears out or kills them, depending on the quantity (how many vamps, how much venom pumped in) and the quality (older vamps have deadlier venom)

Shoot, I forgot a few things;

Half-breeds are ridiculed by full weres, and are often outcasts. (Good reason for Renee to send Bella to Forks; there, her father <a full were> can protect her from other weres, and there are more likely to be more full-were packs in Phoenix, where there are less likely to be vamps)

Very rarely, there are bitten weres who remember everything they do in were form (like those rare people who can remember almost everything since they were whatever age) but can't control anything and there are bitten weres who can control everything they do in were form, but can't remember anything at all afterwards.

Then, there are myths about bitten weres that can both control and remember everything they do, but these are widely just seen as myths.

Thanks for the info, but I've got them sorted out. Renee is actually a were, she just got pregnant with Bella to appease her father, the alpha of the pack.

Plus they have an Alpha bloodline; those that are direct descendants of the First Four are stronger than the others and therefore are typically alphas.

[Twigon]

Too bad.

[megster1992]

Thanks for it, though. It's just I had already came up with the facts about my Children of the Moon like a couple weeks ago.

Yeah, I appreciate all the help, but sadly they don't quite fit the paradigm I'm going for.

Were's have to fulfill a certain role. That role is that of life, they have to fight to preserve life at all times, against both the force of death and that of balance. So in order for me to make the concept fit all werewolves have to have been born a were, they can't become one, and they certainly can't become one because they die. That would make them a force of balance since the life-death cycle had been completed to change them.
