Lycanthropes

Many years ago, The Blacklight, Nomalari cursed a group of humans, turning them into the first lycanthropes. The full story has been lost to time, but lycanthropes have lived on. Whenever a lycanthrope is under the light of the moon, it reverts to it's hybrid form, unable to use its change shape power. Most lycanthropes aren't even aware of their connection to The Blacklight, but some are. Some of those in the know don't really care, but many do, either worshiping The Blacklight for the powers he has granted them, or hating him for the curse he has wrought upon them. Those that hate him usually worship The Shining One, Sepal, and those that are truly devoted are sometimes granted a boon (see the talent below). Most lycanthropes are born that way. If either parent is a lycanthrope, the child will be as well. It also possible to contract it. If someone suffers from the disease of a lycanthrope for 10 straight days, they will permenantly become lycanthropes, capable of changing into the forms that the lycanthrope that bit them could.

See the Lycanthropy template in the APGS for game rules regarding lycanthropes.
