Lycans

Lycan, is the more common term for a species known as Lycanthropes.

Lycans are a rather young species, only being around for a few thousand years. They are created by the union of a species with a demonic soul, and a Werewolf. This means that if a Werewolf mates with a Wendigo, Shadow Demon, or Succubus/Incubus, a Lycan will be the result. It is speculated that they first came to be through the experiments of Demons, who wanted to create powerful living weapons in this world. The story goes that it did not end well, and the subjects escaped and spread.

These creatures are quite often discriminated against, due to their heritage. They are seen as being dirty, and uncontrollable. Uncontrollable might not be entirely inaccurate. Their rage is both their most powerful weapon, and their greatest weakness. They are prone to fits of rage, which is what seems to activate their transformations. This does, however, mean that they are berserkers. One must be careful, however, as they are generally faster than they appear, and usually much stronger.

Lycans are so strong, that they have been known to tear the roofs off of cars in order to get at their victims. They have even been seen to lift the entire vehicles up and toss them an entire block. Lycan fur has been found to be resistant to magical, angelic, and demonic energies, making them even tougher opponents to face.

Lycans almost always live alone, or in mated pairs. They are just too prone to fits of rage to live in larger groups. Even young Lycans are capable of surviving on their own, as they are born with strong survival instincts. This has allowed their species to survive, despite being rather sparse.

Lycans have often been used as weapons of war, something that they are rather proficient at, due to their wrathful power.

Lifespan - 80 to 100 years

Lycans do not live as long as pure blooded Werewolves, but live longer than Humans. However, if two meet, and tempers flare, it is often that one or the other will not live any longer.

Size - 5 to 6.5 feet / 6 to 7 feet

Lycans are the same size as Humans when in Human form, but in beast form, are towering creatures, powerful and dangerous.

Diet - Carnivorous

Lycans are meat eaters, but luckily for them, are not cursed with endless hunger like Wendigos.

Strengths

Very strong physically, and not slow by any means. Have strong senses all around. As they become angrier, they actually become stronger.

Weaknesses

They can be blinded by their rage, to the point that they no longer recognize who is friend, and who is foe. They are also berserkers, with crude fighting styles that tend to be easily predicted.

Reproduction - 25%

Lycans have been found to be able to mate with Humans, Werewolves, Demons, and of course their own kind. They have a rather good reproduction rate.

Death

Like Wendigos, Lycans are said to be denied the afterlife known as the Great Hunt, and are cast into the darkness that is the Deep Dark.

Ranks

Rank E - Runt - Lycans without the ability to change. Still prone to fits of rage.

Rank C - Brute - Lycans who can only change partially. They become more furred, their teeth sharpen, and their muscles bulge. Fighting style is extremely crude.

Rank B - Battle Fang - Lycans who's changing abilities have fully matured. They become raging, bipedal wolves that possess great power and ferocity.

Rank A - War Fang - These Lycans are mightier than most others, bearing the scars of previous battles. They are strong enough to go toe to toe with even the mightiest of other species, and possess great combat instincts.

Rank S - Warbeast - Possessing enormous strength, these Lycans are not to be trifled with. They are intelligent, and cunning. Nothing stands in their way when they are on the attack. Even light armored fighting vehicles are torn through by these beasts. Of course, they have been known to prefer to use these vehicles as bludgeons, smashing them against the Lycan's enemies.
