The Wyld Packs

The Wyld Packs: Skin Changers

City in Shadows

A society of Beast

The society of the Skin Changers is one of opposites working together. It's complex and simplistic at best. When you are dealing with beings that are both the primal instinct of nature and the mind of man, things get interesting. This creatures are self aware that they are part of nature itself and at the same time some of them are created by weird methods. Magick is a has it ways to create a skin changer although that doesn't guarantee that you will be accepted among the packs.

The Hierarchy of beast is basic at best. The strong lead, the weak follows. If you want to prove yourself to the Wyld Packs you need to prove yourself strong enough to withstand their trials. In more than one sense Beast are more social than human kind. When food runs low, Hunters provide. When cubs are born female take turns to nurture them. Skin changers are Beast that turn into the shape of Men and Men that take the shape of Beasts. Werewolf on the other hand, are an entirely different kind. Those cursed by night and marked by the wolf are their own unique brand of supernatural.

Almost all beast that can develop enough sentience can become Skin Changers. Bulls, Wolfs, Lions, Ravens, Sharks, you name it. thus if enough of them awake such sentience, they can teach the knowledge to the rest of their kin and multiply. In ancient times the number of Skin Changers was far bigger than it is now on the modern nights. Human worked most of them through hunts and fear of the monster of the night. Perhaps an elaborate scheme of old wizards and vampires to control the number of potentially dangerous beings taking over their cities. No one is certain to be honest; but that's what the records says.

Werewolf: In his own regard Werewolf are an entire brand of paranormal beings apart skin changers. Werewolves don't control their transformations in most cases. It's a curse given by the moon to those who dare offend her. Powerful wizards also sought the way to acquire the power and blessing of such Skin Changers and commit terrible sins and thus got stuck in a mid transformation. nor man, nor beast, both a mix of both. powerful yes, but lacking in self control. There are also those who are born hybrid. Born from a skin changer and a human parent. neither a full Beast not a pure Human; but a mixture of both bloods. Werewolves are an interesting topic that we may develop more later.
