Ok for those who havent noticed the room and boards are really booming lately. One of the main parts of KC that we have thrived to keep is the theory that you could play here with us without ever cracking open an Anita Blake book..that we would work twice as hard to help those people who maybe are really interested but just dont have the time or patience or whatever to read that many books. So..I put together a list of basic Lycan info to help out any new comers who havent read as far as some of us or current members who just need a little refresher course. All the info came from the Page of Eternal Life at..
www.timber-wolf.net/blake/
I just organized it all a bit for easier viewing. That site has some great info on general info as well as creature specific info.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Lycan Info:
1)Lycans are not contagious in human form.
2)Not all forms of Lycanthropy are equally contagious. You can get cut to pieces by a weretiger and not get it. A werewolf can barely cut you and you can become infected. Almost none of the cat-based lycanthropy are as contagious as wolf and rat. No one knows why.
3)When you become infected with lycanthropy it usually takes weeks, or at least until the first full moon for the first shape change.
4)The first change is very violent and you will experience some memory loss. The first few full moons will be almost complete blackouts. This is a temporary condition.
5)The more powerful you are, the more you will be able to control the shift. The closer to the full moon it is, the harder it will be to control your "beast."
6)Usually you will stay in animal form for eight to ten hours, then collapse and change back to human form. It takes a lot of energy to shapeshift early.
7)Lycans usually spike a temperature right before they change, like a human before a seizure.
8)Your strength and speed will be greatly enhanced. You will be very hard to kill and heal quickly. Sometimes without medical attention you can scar though. Many injuries can be healed quickly by shapechanging.
9)Be prepared to hurt when seriously injured, because anesthesia doesn't work well on you. Your body metabolizes it too quickly.
10)Wounds made by silver heal slower and silver can kill you. A vampire wound is alot like silver, it can kill and most heal from those wounds as if they were human. Wounds made by the teeth or claws of another lycanthrope also heal slower, but not as slow as silver or vampire.
