Specific Powers
Hyena
Omega
Death by laughter:
Hyenas are known as the clowns of the animal kingdom, giving off what to most appears to be a strange laugh. Now they are able to infect another with uncontrollable laughter merely with a slight touch. And when we say uncontrollable we mean just that, this power makes it so the person infected is suddenly overcome with laughter. Anything and everything will be funny to them and no matter how much they might wish they can’t stop which makes it extremely hard to pull in air for their lungs. It can get to a point that the person literally has laughed themselves to death.
Garbage Digestion:
It is not an unknown fact that hyena can pretty much devour every inch of their preys body leaving nothing, not even the bone once their done. Well now the human counter has a similar power that allows them only when they need the nutrients to eat every part of their meal right down to the bones without worry of puncturing or ruining their insides. Their bodies for that time become like that of their beast, allowing all parts to safely be eaten and digested.
Hyena Eyes:
All animals are known for their extraordinary eye sight in the dark, and of course the lycans enhances senses are nothing to laugh at. Well now the human counter for the hyena has perfect sight like their beast at night. With this power it allows the human to take on their beast’s eyes without really giving away what is going on. Meaning while their eye sight does improve, no one will physically be able to tell since their eyes physically never change. A rare play of magic if you wish.
Masking the Truth:
Much like how the tigers can take on the coat of a different species to match the environment, the hyena have come up with a trick of their own. This not only changes their coat colors and design, but their scent as well making it so whoever was in pursuit or trying to find them unable to continue. It would be like they hyena was one minute there the next just gone and no clue as to where it disappeared too. It is very handy when a younger, less experienced hyena is in danger and needed to escape. This not only allows that but insures that they won’t be followed in the near future by their enemy. (As one level ups and ages this will improve to last longer than the 30 minutes it currently does).
Beta
The Vice:
Hyenas like Pit Bulls have one of the strongest and strongest jaw of the animal kingdom. This means they can inflict a very nasty yet still extremely powerful bite that upon contact with the target will lock in place. Usually the hyena will use this as a means to suffocate their prey, or even their enemy should such a violent fight happen. When this happens the hyena can wait a good length of time for their target to finally succumb to the suffocation that will eventually come to pass.
Quick Attack:
Since hyenas are known to hunt in large groups, this power allows for a more positive outcome. It gives the hyena quicker reflexes than normal, often time allowing them to out run not only their prey but even other hyena. This member would more than likely be the lead to sending the target/prey towards the direction of the ambush. But they wouldn’t have to be the most powerful member of the cackle or even the strongest, just so long as they can successfully send the prey to where the ambush is waiting to strike.
Playing Pet:
Hyenas are associated with dogs in many aspects; well with this power a beta can now take that another step. Making it so that for at least one day they might mistakenly take on the roll of pet, meaning they can manipulate their appearance in beast form enough to confuse a human’s eye. This allows them to stay safely hidden usually with the unsuspecting human while they either loss their attacker or if harmed can heal completely. In certain situations the hyena might have to remain in this state a little longer, at least till the first opportune time as they can slip away. (Can when leveling up and older is used to stay hidden for a longer period of time).
Crying Howl:
This is a power used by newly turned or infected hyena still learning about the ins and outs of the preternatural realm. This power allows them to easily locate a local Cackle by sending out a cry alerting the Oba of a possible new member. But the cry also lets them know that the stranger has no violent intention towards the Cackle and isn’t here to cause problems.
Alpha
Bite of Pain:
Hyenas have a very acidic bite and should they get a hold of someone, the bite will cause extraordinary pain to them. Not only that but it like acid will start destroying the tissue, muscle of its victim, so no matter what form, a hyena needs to take caution. They have no control over the effects EXCEPT with their true mate; the bite would only mark them as taken nothing more.
Gender Confusion:
This is only a power used when the Cackle is in danger and to help confuse the attacking force, hopefully so that the other hyena can take action. With this power, since it is known female rules the Cackle this power allows for a male member to take on a female gender, but not just any female its Oba. While the Oba is temporarily assume a more male submissive role, the male playing her role is hoping this allows the Cackle a chance to surprise attack, while the enemy is blind to the truth.
Steel Hands:
With the powerful lock jaw, hyena’s are a pretty formidable opponent, now it extends to the human side as well. With this power the human will have just about as lethal an attack as the beast. Their hands are strengthening in such a way that they are nearly like steel. One blow can shatter bone it not worse up to a person’s death with one strike.
Greedy Thoughts:
Since hyena are considered a greedier species, working to steal food from more dangerous species such as lions. Well now they have the chance to spread the sin to some unsuspecting victims who happen upon the hyena. With a scratch against the skin, the hyena can infect another with Greed, making it so that the one infected will do anything and everything to satisfy their greed. Stealing, manipulation and possible if the person is a very weak minded victim could lead to a killing or two.
Leader (Female Only)
Deceptions Queen:
This power allows the Oba and her Cackle, to deceive their prey giving them a false sense of security before being ambushed. It merely is a play on the preys mind, making them believe the Cackle isn’t a true threat or is possible hurt and unable to attack. It really doesn’t matter what the prey believes only that they will thanks to this power not have their guard up leaving them vulnerable.
Wailing Call:
This power is for the Oba unless fate blessed the Cackle with a male leader, this is a call to rise the Cackle and bring them no matter how far away to their leader. It can be for the hunt, an attack or because something serious is going on but this call will reach distances that could lead to half-way across the state if not further. It will all depend on the true need of the leader.
Jaguar
Omega
Cry of Discord:
Jaguars have a very particular cry they use, this power allows them to use that cry to confuse and distract their prey or their enemy. Mostly used in a defensive state should the jag be badly hurt or extremely weak and needed to escape.
Touch of Envy:
This allows the jaguar to infect the sin of envy on another. Making the person infected envy everyone they are around or come in contact with. Which at times can lead to some violent behavior since the person is constantly striving to make themselves better than the next. Some will even push to show signs of voyeurism under extreme situations.
Aquatic Angels:
Jaguars are known to enjoy playing, swimming, bathing and even fishing in water. With this power even omega level jags are guaranteed to have the same level as those more experienced as if they knew it their entire life. Makes hunting at times a lot less stressful for those still trying to become use to their new body and its abilities.
Silver Aliment:
All lycans have a natural issue with silver, fire in any form or shape. Although some have various forms of tolerance, and with this power that tolerance can become an even stronger resistance. An omega with this power can in small doses start to let their body get a small taste of silver. Just in small doses will they start to gain a little tolerance for the element known to kill them. (As the lycan ages and levels this power will continue to grow as does their job of incorporating more silver into their system. Ultimately by alpha level, the lycan should be able to fully well silver with only a hint of pain).
Beta
Gods of the Night:
Jaguars are considered to have been worshipped by the Gods; there for they were blessed it is said with a stronger hunting ability. This power gives the jaguar a feeling of invincibility making them extremely successful during a hunt, fight, even with the opposite sex.
Tree Hunting:
Jaguars like leopards enjoy the trees; only with Jaguars they can easily maneuver along the branches enabling them to find the perfect place to launch an attack. This power ensures that the jaguar can easily, yet silently make their way through the trees till a perfect location is found. Than it is just a matter of waiting till the target is close enough before leaping upon them unsuspected.
Water Baby:
Jaguars naturally like water to swim, play and even catch prey of various sizes, with this power they can achieve a longer time under the water. Making it so that the large cat doesn’t need to surface for a good 20 minutes and also blocks out water getting into their ears. In a sense it’s their own personal breathing apparatus without actually physically wearing anything. (This is the next level after Aquatic Babies).
Hidden in Shadow:
The jaguars spotted coat is a natural camouflage for keeping out of sight in the forest, trees whatever territory they may claim. Now during the night, they can take this camouflage to a new level making it so that their natural spotted coat takes on a completely black look. Rendering them pretty much invisible to even the most experienced eyes and making them even more deadly to any suspecting prey that wanders too close.
Alpha
Leap of Faith:
While all felines natural are good jumpers, jaguars are exceptionally good and most often or not can make a sing leap to their desire location. Whereas other felines need more than one leap to reach, with this ability the jaguar is guaranteed a successful leap no matter their age.
Piercing Understanding:
This is the jaguar’s little secret communication it shares solely with the Jamboree. To anyone outside their family it sounds like an ear piercing cry at most times will send an intruder, enemy running to escape the sound. But for the family it’s a sound of comfort and understanding that allows the others to know they are safe.
Killing in one shot:
Jaguars are one of the more apt killing machines in the animal world, making extraordinary leaping attacks from high above the trees. With this power along with that amazing leap, the Jaguar can now kill its prey in one shot. Merely a sharp, powerful bite to the skull crushing it will kill any prey instantly.
Burst of Speed:
Jaguars aren’t known for their speed, more their physical strength, with this power that can get changed. Normally jaguars only run about 40mph, now they can achieve twice that without wearing themselves out. It can be used both in human and beast form allowing the same results.
Leader
Family at Heart:
Jaguars are normally solitary creatures, however werejags relish the closeness of others, with this ability the Olmec can pull a stronger sense of companionship to the members. This gives the jaguar a stronger bond that can come in handy during a fight or hunting, allowing for a more united front.
Rage of the Beast:
This is a power that will only be seen when the Jamboree or either the Olmec/Onca is threatened in a serious way or possible hurt. But this isn’t just the leader going into a state of rage, it is their body allowing the hybrid side, the bi-pedal to fully take over. Meaning they will be both human and beast letting out their rage so it’s possible to have a hint of control, but the only ones who could reach it would be from the Jamboree itself of the raging lycans mate.
Wolf
Omega
Size Dire:
The ability to expand the appearance of ones beast; for up to an hour if not more. (Depending on level of strength) It gives the lycan a more unnatural size to their wolf and can leave them more intimidating to others who come upon them. Especially handy when the wolf is in a fight or ambushed.
Extinction:
A lycan with this power (which can grow over time) can find food no matter what the situation. I.E. a bad winter or terrible storm, this power allows for them to seek and ultimate find the food even if just a small amount to sustain them. (The higher your level the better degree of scavenging you will have no matter distances).
Cunning Scout:
Lycans are already smart, fast, but this allows even the slowest, weakest wolf to have a more cunning feel. They can during a hunt use this power to help outsmart even the biggest prey the pack is hunting. It can also work well when in a fight, as most would surely underestimate the weakest member.
Swift as Wind:
This allows the slowest/weakest members to be one of the quickest within the pack. It is especially useful when they are cornered and need to get away quick this power will enable they out run their enemy.
Beta
Embracing the Beast:
Lycans can take time to accept their beast, this power allows them once they are at beta level to do that faster. It will continue to grow as the lycanthrope does and ultimately when they have achieved Alpha they should be fully one with their wolf. Where they are now more one in the same instead of felt as like a separate creature; it is helpful when trying to resist shifts, emotions getting high and under dire situation. The connection allows both to realize if the need to shift is truly right instead of the wolf just pushing out.
Luna's Gift:
This is a power only seen during the full moon and has only been granted to ONE specific wolf within the pack. For that entire full moon Luna has blessed them with the power of the moon. Meaning everything from senses, strength, speed, all their naturally enhanced abilities are tripled for that night. Making them literally one of the most incredible of the pack even without being leader. However, should the beta try and use the gift for anything other than aiding their pack it vanishes. Completely. It was only granted for a full moon hunt OR if there is a fight which calls for the added bonus, it was never for trying to dominate another member, the leader or any other conceivable idea the lycan might have. (Will be monitored by Admin and Leaders)
Unity of the Heart:
At times it can be overwhelming to truly trust members of the same pack. Especially if you are a newly turned or just new member, this power allows you that bond. It helps to allow both you and the pack to form that closeness all members desire and want. (No Manipulation) It's more a feel/presence associated with the wielder and just helps both human/beast to see they are family and accept them.
Patience:
Many a lycan has been known to have a terrible temper allowing their emotions to get the better of them. This power helps to ease some of the wrath that flows through the blood, allowing for a clearer mind to think instead of just acting. It can keep not only the member using it safer, but also their fellow members who might of been at the receiving end of that anger and emotionally outburst. (This is a power that can grow as the lycanthrope does.)
Alpha
Howling Beast:
Alphas are usually the strongest, most dominate in the pack (not always but usually) hence they are the ones to teach and help the lower members. With this power the alpha can help force the other to shift or even stop a shift from happening. (Both of which are painful) It is also used when a rogue wolf happens upon the pack territory so it isn't solely pack member based. (Max an alpha could attempt control is 2, as it can drain them of their energy any more could be harmful if not dangerous).
Call of Munin:
This is a power only seen in one member and usually a female. It allows that wolf during dire situations to call for aid from the beyond. However, it can only be from wolves that female has personally been in contact with prior to their death, killed or had a hand in killing, or who they had eaten. One never knows which spirit will answer, although stronger females can push for a more specific spirit, whether it answers is another story. The effects of the call will vary as each is dependent on how that spirit reacts to the one calling them. (So it can be a very painful, if not draining experience).
Prideful Humility:
This gives the lycans the chance to infect another through touch with one of two choices. Pride or humility, each depends on the circumstances and can only be used one at time. So you can't infect two people fighting, however, you can infect one to help diffuse the situation. (Works on anyone, humans are especially vulnerable to the sin/virtue, weaker lycans or vampires as well. Those at the same strength/level or higher could possible show no effects or very little).
Healing Strength:
This power has two parts, one through blood or sex an alpha is able to heal a member of their pack completely. Or they may choice to offer the wounded their blood as an alternative to the sex that helps heal them. Now along with the healing, the blood or sex is also a way for the alpha to share some of his/her power with members. (Know that either will bring a certain bond between any involved with this, it’s not a mated bond just the parties involved will feel closer).
Leader
Feast of the Pack:
A lycan with this power is able to (though only with members of their pack) share their abilities during a hunt. Or possible a fight if the case is needed allowing each and every member no matter their level a better chance of success. If used right and if one has the following balanced it can create a unit of strength, (meaning an unbroken, unyielding wall as all members work in close net form to one another.
Wolf Call:
A leader with this ability not only can call their pack members, but it also allows wild wolves within range to heed the call as well. It sends out both a mental, and physical link between all wolves. Meaning not only will the wolves hear the natural call, but their bodies will feel no matter the distance a need to answer. (Distance able to work depends on strength of the leader effects on wolves last only the duration of the need).
Snake
Omega
Coiled to Strike:
Snakes are accurate with their strikes; this ability expands to their human form as well. Allowing each hit to have a much better accuracy rating than normal.
Venomous Touch:
This power has two part ability, first it gives none-venomous snakes the ability to infect venom even just a small amount. But not to the beast this is strictly a human ability so that even while they aren’t in their beast form they can still cause damage when needed. All it takes is a scratch of nails on the skin to successful infect another with venom. (By the time one reaches alpha their venom will be of a more lethal dose).
Eyes of a Serpent:
This power will allow the human counterpart the ability to see like a snake does even though they will retain the ability to maintain colors. They now can have a much more crystal clear view and their depth-perception is now perfect. They also in certain situations are able to pick up on heat signatures of creatures around them, especially good when one wishes to know how many could be attacking. (Upon reaching alpha, this ability becomes a more permanent feature although the human eyes never physically changes).
Rattling Cages:
For an omega, even snake it can’t always been a very safe time in the world. One needs ways to defend themselves or at least throw someone off. With this power they have the chance to mimic the known sounds of a rattlesnake. Since most understand the universal sound as ‘back off’ it has a high rate of success. If not the chance to at least seek cover and hide till the danger is gone.
Beta
Venomous Bite:
Venom is a natural aspect to many snakes, with this ability the person can cause a person either a temporary to permanent state of paralysis depending on the strength of the person inflicting the bite.
Serpents Kiss:
The ability to infect another with the sin of pride, makes it so that everything and everyone is supposed to be about you. Your desire for the being the center of attention can become overwhelming makes it so that the person overlooks others completely; too obsessed with their own self to truly care.
Slippery as a Serpent:
The largest known snake is over 30 feet long while the smallest is only 4 inches, with this power now one can easily change its size fitting whatever situation it falls into.
Killing Strike:
Though it doesn’t usually happen with wild snakes, this power allows for a lycan to make a killing strike usually with their first shot. This can either be in their human or their beast form.
Alpha
Squeezing Embrace:
Constrictors are the natural snakes to suffocate a person and at times break their bones in the process. With this ability, any snake now has the ability to suffocate their victim, prey easily and the strength will vary depending on the level. However, this isn’t just for the beast it will flow into the human side as well, making it so a normally friendly embrace can become bone crushingly suffocating in mere seconds.
Satisfied:
Some snakes are able to survive without needing food for a year, which is now given over to the human counterpart. No matter their species, the human can now like the beast go without needing to eat for a whole year. Water they will still need here and there, but food won’t even been a thought in their minds.
Cobra Flare:
The King Cobra is one of the most well-known vipers in the world, at an alpha level; one has the ability to mimic the King Cobra. This doesn’t mean you will be a venous snake; just you will have the well-known characteristics to throw off your attacker or enemy. (Meaning the rising up and flaring of your hood).
Snake Love:
Anyone possessing this power has the ability to infect another with the Sin of Lust. Making it so that their every thought, desire is all about sex. No matter where or with who they are consumed by that one need, it will drive them and make their normal common sense seem but a memory.
Leader
Serpents Tongue:
A snakes tongue is one of the most sensitive organs tasting the air for prey or enemies. With this power, the ability extends to human now. Allowing the human side to carefully taste the air with just a small slip of the tongue, noting whether there was an enemy, another snake or even prey nearby for them.
Serpent Slither:
For the leader while there in human form, they are able to shift while in the water to allow nearly all of their body the ability to take on their beast’s form. Allowing them to easily maneuver through the water with speed and fluid movement just like their beast could. Many times the leader can manipulate enough so only the lower part of their body matches the beast instead of all of the body and leaving the head human.
Leopard
Omega
Power of the Night:
Lycanthropes already have enhanced senses, abilities and in their beast forms leopards are easily able to find their way in the dark. This power expands the leopards natural nocturnal sight to the human, making it so that no matter what the human has no issues navigating in the dark.
Cloaking:
With the various coat colors leopards are better able to blend in to nearly every area. With this power a leopard is able to manipulate their own coat in order to better properly blend in with their surroundings.
Adapting:
Leopards have the ability to adapt to any environment from extremely hot to cool or humid making them able to live pretty much anywhere. It also passes over to the human side to be able to easily adapt to whatever living environment they may end up in.
Size Matters:
Leopards are extremely large cats, with the males being exceedingly bigger than females. This is quite evident in the human counter. Male humans will be noticeably bigger in bone structure, height, weight than their female companions. This allows for a leopard to give off the intimidating aspect no matter their age, it will continue to increase as the leopard ages and grows in level. (It’s more a presence than anything physical that happens to make them intimidating to others).
Beta
Bonds of family:
The ability for a member to find any/all of the pard no matter how far away. It is a connection that the person has mentally to all the members of the pard allowing them to locate anyone should the need arise. This isn’t to be confused with a mental communication as there isn’t one, this is just a connection (or if you like a mental sense).
Heart to Heart:
Allows those within the pard to share the closeness, expand and make new members, omegas, kits to feel comfort and safe. Lets them know the pard is family.
Climbing the Walls:
Leopards are one of the best tree climbers going as far as to hide their kills in the branches, well now this ability extends to their human form as well. This power allows the human part of the lycan to easily scale trees just like the beast and move about high in the air freely and without much worry. It also makes for a great place for them to hide should the human require it. This is especially good if the human has a fear of climbing or possible just of heights period as this gives them a block of that fear completely.
Stealth:
Leopards have the ability to be a very stealthy cat and this continues from beast to human. No matter the situation, both human and beast will always have a very distinctive way about them. This allows them to sneak up on both prey and enemies without being noticed.
Alpha
Feral Rest:
The leopard can lull their enemy into a falls sense of peace and force them into a state of sleep. It takes a truly powerful alpha and a lot of concentration since your needed complete eye contact with your target for a good 30 seconds. It’s like hypnotizing without the little need to use a swinging object.
Lions Roar:
This trick takes a lot of concentration and energy so only a strong alpha should attempt. It will need to be practiced some to get it right, but once there the leopard will be able to mimic the lions roar. Confusing those nearby who hear the roar into believing they’re about to attack a pride of lions instead of a lone leopard.
Aura of Caution:
For a leopard wishing to keep people away; either for safety reasons or just because they aren’t as social as some, this gives them the ability without really doing anything. It’s kind of like how a skunk repels just by their scent, only in this case it’s more a sense people will feel. Whenever they come close to the leopard they will sense that they need to keep their distance and stay back. How they interpret it is anyone’s guess.
Touch of Humility:
This power allows the leopard when they see selfish, disrespectful people to infect them with a little humility. Hopefully the intervention helps a situation that could end up going from bad to worst without physically letting anyone get hurt. It really doesn’t take all that much but a slight brush of skin for it to affect someone and even than there is no real loss of energy, however, it can’t just be everyone the leopard is around and feel like infecting. The person must truly be showing a need of humility for it to work.
Leader
Mental Call:
With but a thought, the leader can call to its pard from anywhere no matter the distance. It is a way to bring aid without actually looking as if you are and gives the opponent the false sense that they have the upper hand. It can also work when needed to find an injured member, the leader need only put out the mental call and they can quickly locate their hurt pard member. But it does require a strong connection with the pard and the leader can't have an ounce of doubt in their heart about themselves.
Leopard’s Roar:
While not as loud as a lion, the leopards roar is still very distinct and used by the leader when they need to gather the pard. It will repeat every six minute interval until the pard have arrived or something else keeps the leader from continuing.
Lion
Omega
Allure: (Males)
The male lion is probably one of the strongest, more admired specimens in the animal kingdom. But even an omega still needs help, this allows for them to in a sense manipulate their appearance, even their scent can become more enticing. In a way this gives the lion almost the appearance of an alpha if only in looks. But the ability doesn't change even as they get stronger in fact it continues to become more intense.
Heart of the Pride: (Females)
This gives each female confidence in not only their pride, but themselves. They will get a sense of pride coming from others within the pride giving them more confidence. It in a way strengthens the loyalty the lioness feels for their pride allowing them to open up, feel more complete with everyone.
Instinctual Tracking:
This allows the lion to rely on their natural instincts and helps them to focus solely on them to track their target. Whether it be another pride member, prey, enemy, it doesn’t matter. Just so long as the lions have their mind and senses open they will understand and feel from their instincts what is the best course of action to take. With more use and as the lion gets older this will improve and grow right along with the lion.
Sight to Sight:
Lions naturally have eyesight 5 times better than a human and lycanthropes are no exception with their already enhanced senses. However, those with this power will have an even better sight work on an upwards of 10 times that of a normal lion. It allows for better accuracy on hunting prey, spotting an enemy before they are seen and even possible for locating their Pride should they be separated for any reason.
Beta
Roar to Aide:
In the case of a member of the pride being severally injured no matter if a fight or natural, this ability allows for them to easily no matter how weak call for aid from their pride. The call would be as strong as if uninjured, but the tones are what tells the members of the trouble.
Lazy as a Cat:
Cats are naturally lazy creatures and the lion is no exception, so they have the ability to infect the sin of sloth on others. Making it so the person who possible is really active suddenly just wish to lay down or sleep instead of getting out even exercising.
Touch of Warmth:
Lions relish the sun, so with this power the lion will gain a boost of speed and strength that they can use. It will last about a full day depending on the length of time they were in the sun, the longer their body was out the longer the effect will last. The shortest length period is about 2 hours which is still enough time to make a nice kill.
Harmony:
Lions are very affectionate cats especially within the Pride, so with this power it instills a sense of calm should emotions suddenly flare. It won’t completely block out the emotions, but instead just brings back a sense of rational thought. Making it so that a serious fight will be avoided and instead the ones involved will merely talk it out civilly.
Alpha
Barbary Handshake:
Lions have extremely sharp claws when in their beast form, this allows for the same to be said of their human. Should the lion scratch another the nails would slice through the skin like paper, leaving nearly the same damage as if in their beast.
Eyes of Fear:
Lions are natural hunters, ambush predators so this power allows for them to insight fear and panic in those they are watching. The target doesn’t have to see the lion to feel that fear it will just appear out of no were and send them into a state of panic. Usually this will result in the target heading right towards an ambush that is awaiting them.
Killing Strike:
During a hunt, lions often use the ambush method in order to secure their prey. With this power after the target is selected and heads for those in waiting, it will take but a single strike of the paw to kill the animal. Instead of having to race after, tackle and weaken the animal this method is quick and fast. It insures that should they need the Pride could hunt much larger prey should they be in the area. Of course this could also extend to a fight, one shot to the face or chest could instantly kill the opponent before he/she could lay a single blow.
Age of Wisdom:
With lions, the darker the mane the older the lion, however, with this power an alpha has the ability to manipulate their mane in order to make it appear that they are older. It gives whoever they are facing a false sense of success, since most feel the older you are the slower and less able to fight.
Leader
Roar of Call:
A lions roar is one that all recognize immediately and normally it reaches only a distance of 5 miles, which is still impressive. But with this power a Rex can now reach out and call to lions or even their allies over 15 miles away.
Metaphysical Control:
As leader the Rex is responsible for making sure everyone in his pride follows commands and the rules. However, should some decide otherwise, this power allows for a more one on one punishment to be handed out. With a mere look to the one needing the punishment his beast from its metaphysical plane will take hold and force the others lion into a submissive position. But even as this is only on the metaphysical plane, it will still be extremely painful to the human side and thus force them as well into a more submissive posture to the Rex. The length of time varies according to each leader, but it can last up to about 2 hours before the Rex and even the accused could start to feel exhaustion setting in.
Rat
Omega
Escape the Trap:
Rats have always been smart, this extends still to the lycanthrope allowing them to once more prove to everyone how smart they are. Manipulating the system (so to speak) and allowing themselves to find even the smallest route of escape no matter what. Should it be natural or even a man-made situation, the rat who possesses this power will easily find a way to safety.
Smell of deceit:
Given rats are deceitful little creatures, they have found in lycan form to manipulate and flush out deceit around them. Making it possible to use that flaw against the person should it prove useful of course to them. It doesn’t take much to achieve this, only a single brush of skin between them and the person they are wishing to test.
Illusion of the Mind:
Now were rats aren’t small by any means, but for omegas it still might not feel like enough even in a fair fight. So why not cheat a little? That is exactly what this power does, in a sense; it allows the rat to excrete a pheromone that tricks the target(s) mind into believing what they are seeing. In this case a rat well over the size of a large dog, for this it makes them nearly impossible bigger hopefully enough to scare away the threat. If not leave them a small window in order to escape. The effect will only work for around half an hour so the person should take care when they use this as they won’t get a second chance. At least not in the same day, their body needs time to remake the pheromone.
Piercing Cry:
Rats don’t have much of a vocal range at least not like other species (lions, leopards, wolves) so they have to think of try alternative methods. With this power allows for a piercing cry that not only calls other rats, but also will cause those who can hear it to shy away in pain. The sound that is heard matches that of nails down a chalkboard just amplify it by 100 and you will have the true strength. It doesn’t seem like much, but for a rat needing help or wanting to get away quickly it works. As the rat achieves higher levels the effect of the cry will increase.
Beta
Scent of Death:
Since rats have such a strong sense of smell, this power allows for them to find and locate those around death. But this isn’t to just about finding anyone its about locating one specific type of person, or in this case, creature. Vampire. Rats use the scent of death, decay to locate and observe the vampire(s) mostly to try and avoid a run in, although should the vampire be a beast master or one that calls rats. Well than their reasoning becomes even clearer.
Masters of Manipulations:
Rats are known as highly intelligent creatures so with this power they are able to manipulate nearly anyone they come to know. It’s a matter of deceit, trickery and just simply outsmarting the other person no matter what species. Enabling them to believe just about anything you tell them from the most simplest or funny, to even the deadliest of thoughts. Although humans are the easiest, than omegas, but its betas, alphas and even most vampires this doesn’t work quite as well. This includes their own, since to manipulate a rat it takes a rat.
Memory Magic:
Being they are already highly intelligent this power allows for the rat to remember a person they have come in contact with. They don’t necessarily have to had physical contact just have seen them, their brains will remember no matter what till they die. Tracking is also a novelty for the rat in this same instant since it wouldn’t matter if the person was gone for months or even longer before they set out to search. The person will be found no matter what every time.
Swarm of Activity:
Since rats are usually found in numerous numbers, over-running many a city, town or even ship this extends now for the lycan. With this power a rat that has lost their senses (either during a fight or from magic) or who has possible been injured pretty badly and hasn’t yet been able to make it safely home now can. No matter where they are, this power will lead them straight too their swarms instilling a more metaphysical pull than anything. It’s to some a more instinctual pull that no matter what will not let them down, even if they aren’t thinking clearly.
Alpha
Dump Stench:
The rat can breathe out stinking gases in their stomachs that repel anything that breathes, making them flee. Depending on how much a person has breathed in it could have a more serious effect, possible up to and including sickness. (Humans are the most susceptible, other lycans are as well just not to the degree and should the other be a rat, the gases have no effect on their own bloodline).
Bite of Greed:
Greedy creatures by nature, this now has extended to a very interesting power. With a faint touch, rats can infect the sin of greed on a person. The effect isn’t a constant, the lycan needs to want to infect another for it to work, so in the case of dancing in clubs and constantly brushing up against others it won’t hit. For human’s the effect is instant, for other lycans it can take longer as their bodies tend to fight off any unnatural feeling. Vampires it will vary as their considered dead so it’s an iffy situation, mostly none masters or those weaker or even young could be swayed. Masters and those older than the rat possessing the power would barely take notice.
Rabid Bite:
Rabies is a well-known and widely spread truth about rats that continues to be seen today. So of course even a were-rat would have this lovely little power. During a fight, provoked, even cornered rats can be vicious creatures and should one happen to get its fangs into flesh they can infect a serious case of rabies on an unsuspecting individual. Humans are the easiest once more to infect, while a lycanthrope can and will become sick as well they can hold off to a point the effects. But they will need treatment like anyone else. In rare cases the rabies had at least in weak or omegas caused them to remain in their beast form for several days. Most likely as means to expel the toxin.
Water Resistant:
Rats are resistant creatures and this is extended to now include going for long periods of time without water. Like a camel a rat with this power can go longer than 8-10 days before needing to find water, which if unable to find sustainable nourishment could be quite handy. The body builds up a reserve that helps maintain this resistance, but it will need to be replenished. The length of time one has is about 2 weeks give or take certain situations. Being badly hurt could lessen the time as your body now has to work on healing.
Leader
Infectious Death:
Since rats are known to carry diseases, one bite will infect a person with a vicious illness. However, it won't just be an illness as the person not only will become sick but will die. Their bite when a leader feels their swarm is in serious danger or they have no other choice will spread a deadly disease through their bite, making it for lack of a better term the killing bite. This is extremely deadly humans, vampires it’s unclear the reaction, but other lycans it can make weaker, less stable ones extremely sick and weak. No one is completely immune. However, those weaker, elderly, human and even low ranking omega’s can be brought extremely close to death from the bite. While some betas, alphas and a few humans healthy enough can at least fight off the effects better.
Connection Beyond:
Rats are extremely social and family oriented groups, as a leader it can go beyond that for any member of the Swarm. Should a member be injured, the leaders will automatically sense even if they haven’t seen or even witnessed the reason. They will know no matter where or when if anyone of their Swarm is hurt and will take whatever means are needed to reach them. There is no blood connection or any kind of bond but that of the Swarm itself being family.
Tiger
Omega
Ying-Yang:
All omega level lycans are vulnerable to emotions, the moon, blood especially newly turned. With this power they will feel a better sense of balance and patience that others in the same level will not yet. Those with this power will be able to pull from their inner self in order to focus and calm themselves before something bad could happen. It is especially good when emotions are running high and the real threat of a shift is evident.
Violence of Heart:
Since tigers are considered one of the more violent species they can infect others with the sin of wrath. Meaning the person with just something minor can become exceedingly violent in a matter of seconds and not even realize fully what is going on. Take heed that should the other being infected be another lycan the situation could turn very violent and serious so think twice about just who you affect. Humans of course are the easiest to infect as their wills are not as guarded.
Beauty of Grace:
Being the largest of the big cats, one might think that would also mean a less graceful form. However, this isn’t true for all tigers possessing this power. It allows them complete grace and elegance when they move, whether walking or in a full out run, the tiger’s form will still be always graceful, fluid and elegant.
Sharpened Claws:
Being a lycan, feline tigers already have extremely dangerous/damaging claws and fangs. This power just enhances them even more; so that not only could they claw through flesh like paper, but clearly rip the flesh clean off with one swipe. A mighty dangerous little trait when in a fight of course as they get older it can only improve.
Beta
Lethal Accuracy:
Tigers naturally have fantastic accuracy with this power; it just insures that no matter what the strike is going to hit the target. Especially good during large hunts, or even during training in which the tiger is already working on improvement.
Tiger Stripes:
With the uniqueness of stripes tigers can easily blend in with their environment, so in human form this expands when they are in danger. Avoiding the enemy and finding a safe way to escape by blending with their surroundings.
Fangs of Saber:
Related to the once famous saber tooth tiger that has been extinct for millions of years, this power allows the tiger to call upon their old blood line. Allowing them to take on the famous saber tooth fangs, which are especially useful doing fights.
Slumbering Recovery:
Whenever a tiger has been badly wounded, especially through fire or silver and needs to recover fully it can put itself into a slumber. It will vary the length truly needed upon the type and severity of the wound. But as they get older this might change on needing the added recovery or it may continue, it will vary for each tiger.
Alpha
Call of the Mate:
When an alpha tiger is ready to mate and there aren't tigers available to mate, this power allows the tiger to call out both vocally, as well as through various calls and also with their natural scent. Only those with this power will have a much stronger call and scent that filters through the air attracting any and all eligible mates to heed the call. So it isn't a surprise for tigers to travel several hundreds of miles upon receiving this intense call.
Will of the Saber:
Much like the fangs of saber, this power allows the tiger to take on the traits of their ancestor, only instead of only fangs; this gives them all the characteristics and magnifies them by 10. So the lycan not only has the massive fangs, but their body, weight and strength have improved immensely.
Elemental Trait:
This is for all colors of tigers; there is no set one more predominant for this power. It merely allows them to easily access and incorporate their natural element when they are fighting. The power is known to give them unnatural abilities and strength which vary with each different element the tiger is associated with.
Master of Beasts:
This is a power for extremely strong tigers who wish to be able to manipulate their coats to match the environment. It allows the tiger with this power to naturally match their environment easily without worry of being spotted. (Snowy environment leans towards a whiter coat versus the natural orange).
Leader
Transfer of beasts:
This power allows the user to willing take the beast and transformation for another. Now this doesn't stop with their own species, but extends to other various species varying to each leader who carries this ability. So where one might take a lion, wolf and hyenas beast another possible might only have leopard and jaguar. It’s all up to the leader to decide what and how many other species they wish to learn to take and control for the length of time needed.
Pulling the Prey:
There are times when prey can be hard to come by, or there are issues of mutual hunting territory between fractions. With this power should the need arise, the leaders can call on a special talent to call out and pull prey back into the area. It is just a mimic cry of their natural prey that works to lure them into the area or back should the prey of left expectantly.
Fox
Omega
Tricksters Folly:
Foxes are known to be clever and cunning; this allows them to trick a target easier either out of food, money, nearly anything. It will very for each fox as to their little trick, but this power gives them the courage and the will to pull it off.
Chattering Call:
The natural sounds foxes emit is used to communicate approaching dangers more easily in human form. With the sounds being of such high frequency they can easily carry or be heard over great distances and even without them being forced louder than a normal shout.
Cat Claws:
Like felines, foxes are the only canine species that share this trait and as such in human form they can extend their nails just like claws.
Scavenging:
Foxes are one species that can pretty much eat anything, from birds, fish to even rubbish, worms and bugs when nothing else is available. This scavenging is not expanded to the human as they too have times when the world doesn’t play nice. With this power they can easily and safely eat whatever they can find to survive without worry of becoming sick or possible dying.
Grey Fox at Heart:
Of all the species only the Grey fox has the ability to climb trees, but now it has been expanded to any species of fox. No matter if you’re an Artic, Fennec, Red you also share the ability to climbs trees with ease. Which when your small and chased by something twice your size, any port in the storm is nice.
Beta
Protection of the Skulk:
If a fox wishes to protect another that isn't a Skulk or lycanthrope perhaps, they can simply mark them with their personal scent. Alerting anyone who comes close to know they should not harm them or risk upsetting the Skulk.
Escape Artist:
Being such a small creature, foxes tend to want escape over fighting and with this they can slip through even smallest of holes. And this extends to their human side being able to squeeze through a normally impossible spot easily.
Fennec Traits:
Any fox having this power will like the Fennec Fox give off a purring sound when they are content and happy. A rare sound to hear from one in the canine species, but also if they are startled a gland at the tip of their tails give off a musky scent. Warding others away or at least allowing the fox to escape
Intelligent Caution:
Foxes are both sly, cunning and very cautious creatures which makes them harder to capture than other species. Hence that caution is now extended immensely to their human side. Since many are aware that not all humans are shy or very cautious when approaching or stepping into situations. With this power the human side will have the same demeanor of their beast and use it to investigate more before just jumping in. It could be the matter of life and death.
Alpha
Leap of Grace:
Foxes are known to have the ability to jump extremely high, despite their size and this will extend to their human as well as their beast. Giving them a better defensive attack should they need it in a fight.
Mistaking Identity:
The Silver Foxes coat is close in coloring to the grey wolf with this power, they can enhance their coat to better match that of the wolf. Making it for a short time difficult to tell if they are a fox or a wolf and usually allowing the fox a chance to one escapes or if they have the strength and surprise make a good attack.
Whole Hole Fun:
Foxes are capable of digging rather deep holes underground usually to have pups or sleep, but for this power the sole purpose is to confuse the predator chasing them. Once underground, the fox will maneuver and create various tunnels all in the hope of throwing off their exact location to the bigger predator. If it works correctly the fox will easily make an escape at the new exit while the predator is left attempting to reach their target and racing all over the surface.
Call for the Mate:
During the winter months various calls will be made to attract ones mate in the hopes of forming a union. This can go on for any length of time day and night till the breeding season is done and the fox has found its mate for life.
Leader
Patience of Heart:
Since they are not violent by nature, they wish to avoid confrontations and can infect a person with virtue of Patience. This is especially handy for those who tend to lean towards more violent attitudes. It also works to calm down another lycanthrope who might be close to shifting or just extremely nervous and skittish.
Size for Size:
When a leader is faced with going one on one with a predator twice their size, this power allows for a little level playing field. It gives the fox the ability to match their opponent size and thus have at least a slight better chance during the fight. (Last only the length of time needed before the fox returns to their natural size and must wait a few days before attempting again)
Bear
Omega
Speed of Heart:
Bears might be the strongest creature, but when it comes to running their not exactly speed demons. But this gives the bear a burst of speed to cover more ground either in the hunt or during a fight. Both aspects of the lycan can take advantage of this power.
Diligence:
This gives the ability to infect the virtue of diligence on another; making it so that they take time, patience in their everyday life and activity. A person is more willing to budge their time instead of becoming lazy which bears themselves are known for.
Cry of Help:
Much like a cub crying for its mother, an Omega is able to mimic the same call a cub would for its mother. Only in this instance it would be calling for its leader (if there is one) otherwise it would just be looking for help in general. The reason for the power the older a bear gets the different the sounds they can create to alert Sleuth and members. This guarantees the ability to work.
Instinct of Safety:
While bears naturally have the ability to find a shelter or safe location when threatened or scared, that now expands to the human side. Since omegas are usually still struggling with so much, those with this power will find a focus that allows them to seek and find safety even in the most unlikely of places. Some humans even using their claws to help dig out the spot even if only for a short time.
Beta
Hibernation:
Not total state of hibernation this is only an ability used when one suffers a serious injury and needs time to recover. They take on a state of rest that allows for their body to completely heal without the worry or need for anything else. Not food, water, medicine. The length of time needed will vary depending on the extent of the wound and the strength of the person.
Healing Spirit:
A natural desire to help other, this ability allows one to heal another no matter the species using their tongue and saliva.
Grizzly Courage:
Since Grizzlies are known to willingly approach other predators to steal their kills, this power gives others the same courage. No matter the species of bear, they will find they have the will, drive and courage to risk approaching another predator in order to partake of their kill.
Glutton for Punishment:
Since bears are gluttons and will push their bodies when they should or could easily let up this is the chance to share the same torment. With a touch, another can be infected with the Sin of Gluttony. Making it so they have no control and willingly indulge on things they may normal not worry to much on. From alcohol to drugs, chocolate or even shopping the results will vary for each victim.
Alpha
Size Manipulation:
Bears are naturally an intimidating presence, so with this power the human can now give off that same feeling. Giving off an aura of intimidation making them feel larger than they are and extending that to those causing them problems. Its mostly a defensive ability used to hopefully avoid confrontation.
Polar Consequences:
The Polar bear is considered one of the deadliest creatures in the world. Since it is also one of the only carnivorous species of bear this power is extremely good. With this power not only will the bear take on the characteristics of the Polar bear, but they will be just as deadly. Cutting off a human head with a single stripe of their paws though this could be for anyone they see as a threat.
Bear Hugs:
Alpha bears when in their human form may not look the part, but they can be just as strong as their beasts. If pushed or when the need arises, they can easily squeeze a person enough to break their bones if not crush their skull. Some have even been said to of pulled trees up out of the ground and throw them at their attacker. (All various according to each alpha, their natural bloodline and how strong they truly are. Not everyone will have the same effects when using this power).
Sun-bathing Refreshing:
Bears all love to sun-bath especially on their backs so that their belly’s get warm, with this power that natural past-time now has a new job. When the beast is out sunning or even the human both can now gain more strength, power from the warmth that is radiating over their bodies. The longer they enjoy the sun the more strength and power they will have, though it will only last till the body naturally cools back down.
Leader
Momma/Papa Bear:
Mother bears are naturally extremely protective; however males in a Sleuth are just as protective. With this ability the Ursus/Ursa know when any of their sleuth are hurt, in danger, scared it doesn't matter either will know. It can even extend to those not within the Sleuth, but who the leaders have a particular maternal/paternal connection with.
Shadow Echo:
Since most bears when they stand on their hind legs, can reach heights up to possible 10ft they are extremely intimidating. With this power that intimidation now can be spread to their human not because they are overly tall, but because when they feel the need like threatened or hurt, they can give off the aura of their beast. Making it so that those trying to harm the human will see what could only be described as the bears echo around the human.
