>Such a race would likely not behave or live like humans.
Why not? If they turn into normal wolves at will, most of the time they'd choose not to because there's no point.

Pretty much this >>33181231

Can you imagine how ridiculously boring it would be to have a body that has neither thumbs nor manipulating digits of any kind, doesn't see in colour, and lacks the ability to communicate in a complex language like ours?

Maybe it would be a form half of them would just revert into to sleep because it feels 'more natural' or something. But honestly why would you run around as a wolf when you could instead be running around as a person.

At least running around as a wolf-headed gorilla has the benefit of being stronger than man.

>>33181192
Humans would probably have picked a fight with them towards the start of them branching off of us. They'd either by incredibly victimized and xenophobic towards us, stuck in hiding, or either us or they would've been wiped out.

>>33181192
If they live near humans then I think they would form isolated communities (maybe nomadic) and pretend to be normal humans whenever anyone bothers them, and use their wolf form to hunt and to travel without attracting suspicion. If they don't live near any humans then I suspect they would live like a wolf pack does only turning into humans to make tools when needed.

>>33181354
Why would they live as a wolf pack in modern day earth?

>>33181192
Scientists would want to know how they do it. Do you know how much dissecting would go on?

Let's talk politics.

>Every human but us cannot do this.
Congratulations, you now have the following:
Rights groups, pornography(Don't think it won't exist it fucking will.) scientific papers out the wazoo about it, folklore, religious issues, political issues. Have you ever even cracked open the WoD books? There's a reason they call it a World of 'Darkness'. They hide in the shadows to not be seen by the rest of the world, or else the march of humanity would probably fuck them over. It's why whenever you see a show about monsters, they tend to HIDE from the rest of humanity. Pitchforks and fire didn't get less useful, they were just traded for firearms and more firearms.

>>33181354
Wolf packs are an artificial construct created only because we corral wolves. In the wild, a 'pack' is more akin to an immediate relation family. And a wolf will leave a pack to find another wolf to hump and make a new pack. You see roughly 5-6 wolves, as that's probably a mother, father, and some kids.

Yeah, that seems like a pretty inconsequential superpower to have, especially if it's common enough that people assume every wolf is a spy.
It's like a subspecies of humans who can dislocate any bone effortlessly; okay it's technically superhuman and might get you out of grapples sometimes, but you kind of need your bones in their proper place to do anything useful, so it tells me nothing about what you're like mentally and culturally.
Even Twilight werewolves are better.

If this is for a setting, try to imagine instead a subspecies of humans where everyone is born with a wolf companion that shares their thoughts.

>>33181417
>packs are a social construct

>>33181192
Why do you autistic piece of shit post that picture if you specifically want to talk about shit tier normal wolves

>>33181192

Read Discworld, there's some daily problems werewolves have. Like Angua and her shampoo.

>>33181192
>How would their buildings look? How would their entertainment look? How would they educate their children? What kind of vehicles and computers would they use
Exactly the same as normal people's, because they can and likely will choose to be normal people 99% of the time. There'd be little reason to ever use their wolf shape as it'd only make most things harder

Okay, what if with being a wolf came a rush of happiness, of purpose, and general feeling of elation at being one?

>>33183171
Now it just sounds like a furry fantasy

>>33181192
You could justify the potential animosity between the races (human/werewolf) as farmers blame them whenever a cow or sheep goes missing/gets mauled they blame the werewolf community.

>>33183515
Agreed, I think you should have the wolves stick to a compulsive transformation over the rush of happiness/purpose/elation. Otherwise it can get too magical realmy for many people.

e.g. they can only hold Human form for 16 hours a day or they get sick. Kind of like Odo from DS9 needing to be in a liquid state.

>>33184320
Unwilling transformation is my fetish

>>33184320

It was more akin to feeling giddy after running a four-hour trail or something, but okay...

>>33184677

>>33184871
Well, it makes me get up out of my very comfortable chair and go run for hours in the sun, so uh, I don't actually understand what you're trying to say. We're talking about a temporary transformation. I'd be a cat for a day, no problem.

>>33184677
Alright, I guess I can see that. That is a decent way to avoid the wolves from constantly complaining about "this terrible curse".

Another way to consider the transformations would be: like relaxing a belt after a big meal, or urinating after having to hold it for a few hours, doing a deep stretch, etc.

>>33184915
Yeah, that's pretty cool. When you're a bit fed-up with your 9-to-5 job, just go run and hunt inna woods forgetting yourself for a bit.

>>33184948
And then get arrested for hunting without a license.

>>33184897
>We're talking about a temporary transformation. I'd be a cat for a day, no problem.
Exactly my point. That's how the werewolves would live, just like you except being a wolf instead of taking a jog. Perfectly normal humans otherwise.

>>33184977
And that's a problem?

>>33184977
>just like you except able to transform into a large animal at any time for a long period of time
I'm sure that would have an effect on their culture and disposition.

>>33184977
Given how being a trailhound already implies a few things on the way you live your life and your activities/culture (like going to races, or pushing yourself physically), adapting that to a culture of werewolves who can transform voluntarily without the whole curse thing might be easy.

Plus the fact that even if they're not compelled to do it, they might still be persecuted and shit like that. After all, no Christian was compelled either to have to be Christian, and there were STILL martyrs.

Your arguments are pretty weak, man.

>>33183171
I can just jerk off to get the same effect.

>>33185071
Why are you assuming that there would be an unified werewolf culture? Just like not every jogger is a trailhound or Christian a martyr, there would be different views on werewolviness among them. Some of them would prefer living innawoods, others would be couch potatoes, just like humans.

>>33185169
WELL, I GUESS THAT'S THE END OF HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT THEN.

Turning into a wolf is something purely for personal pleasure. I can have sex or jerk off or even just take some drugs to have the same effect, minus becoming an animal in the middle of a public place.

Well, rather than discussing why it would be interesting with people than try hard to convince you hard thant it wouldn't, can't you guys interested in this discuss the details of a werewolf "clan" fairly integrated into human society who doesn't necessarily go into BERSERKER mode every time the mood is a little bit more illuminated?

they see blue and yellow, but not red and green.

>>33185310
I guess this is the wrong hour/day/week/season for worldbuilding.

>>33185310
Right. Instead of hunting animals with guns, they transform into wolves and bite animals to death. Instead of going jogging and hiking, they transform into wolves and get shot by farmers and park rangers. Instead of sitting at home and playing video games, they transform into wolves and have nightmarish human dog-man hybrid puppies with the neighbor's dog.

>>33185328
Look, I'm not trying to be contrarian, but if I had werewolf powers I would not use them. See, I am a pretty lazy guy. I wouldn't go on a four hour jog for fun, and just having four legs wouldn't make excercising any more fun for me. At most I would use the wolf shape so I could lick my own dick, but I wouldn't most definitely *not* take part in any "werewolf culture" and run around shitting in the woods. I prefer vidya to hunting, is all.
>>33185321
We're worldbuilding, just not in the way you approve. There's a difference you know?

>>33185373
You're not worldbuilding, you're just saying that you wouldn't enjoy doing that stuff. That's...fine, I guess? But you don't think being able to fly and not doing it would make a liiiiittle bit of difference? At all?

>>33185396
In a world much like this one, flying wouldn't have much use beyond recreation, considering the speed of automobiles and aeroplanes and the paranoia of every government in regards to flying objects.

>>33186740
I'm the guy who said 'werewolves stay human 24/7', but that wasn't really the crux of my point. (my point was that werewolf culture wouldn't exist)

Alright. I don't want to be labelled "No imagination", but imagine if you suddenly gainef the ability to turn into a wolf. Not a "Gorilla with a Wolf head", but an ordinary wolf. Pretty much a dog.

Can you go to the store as a dog? Can you use a phone? Could you walk around in public without someone calling animal control on you?
What's the point?

I mean, sure, you could go out and kill your own food, but you'd either wimp out before you got the kill, or become revolted after you bite a large hole in your prey's neck and the blood starts gushing out. Maybe you could go outside for a run, but there'd literally be no point.

>>33187172
Wolves are pack hunters. Unless you knew what you were doing you probably wouldn't even manage to kill anything.

>>33187245
There are a couple wolf species that are solitary. Even the pack ones have individuals that go it alone. They usually just go after small prey like rabbits

>>33187172

There has to be something else that they'd get access to, otherwise they are just bleh.

Like, give them spider-man like abilities. Retard strength, regeneration, but an inability to not wolf out when they get angry/hurt.

Then they become a force to be reckoned with, and it's no small wonder they have their own country. Make them like Israel-they are nasty motherfuckers to mess with because they'll straight up assassinate you if you fuck with them. And then they'll play the victim card.

>>33187340
Wolves have a great sense of hearing and smell. They could use that ability has police, detectives, rescuers, guards, park rangers, etc.

>>33187392
Oh yeah, but that's more a matter of finding some convenient use for their powers in modern society, You might have a partner who rolls around as a wolf for a few hours instead of a canine unit in the police force, but when it comes to society changing things they have nothing. Since being human is by far the better form to be in.

>>33187392

Make them all lean and muscley with lots of endurance and surprising strength, too. Not because wolves have that, but because they literally run. EVERY DAY. And use all their muscles to do so.

If the fitness transfers between forms, werewolves would be ottermode as fuck

Hey, what I mean is they'd already have an infrastructure in place that is designed for people who are colourblind. They might later fix this using science.

But for the purposes of modern society we're only just getting to the point where we might possibly be able to fix it by injecting stuff into people's eyes.

I mean you're hardly going to go "Well we fixed colourblindedness, let's just completely re-build the country to account for this" You'd have your weird coloured traffic lights and shit like that left over.

>>33187585
>>33187598
>human form
>colorblind

It's a lack of cone/rod receptors in the eyes because carnivore/scavengers didn't have a need to evolve more than 2. Monkeys and other omnivores developed 3 because we deal with plants which have more colors. We have additional cells in the eyes dedicated to sensing another frequency band. We also have things like thumbs, bipedal posture, different bone structure etc which (Most, depending on type) werewolves keep most of these humanoid traits when in mutant form.

A werewolf that's colorblind while human would also have no thumbs, etc. It just doesn't make any sense. Only makes sense if it's the classic dire-wolf 100% non-humanoid type when transformed, and then it wouldn't necessarily be colorblind while human either unless it's going to lose thumbs and bipedalism when "human" as well.

>>33188499
There's dozens.

Curse of the gods.
Cursed item.
Family heritage curse.
Good old fashion mutants.
Corrupting/addictive magic transformations ie
Magic belt/item of wolf material
Pagan ritual ie drinking water out of pawprint at the full moon etc.

Then there's shit that's not even "curses" like plain old magic transformation spells.

Lots of unique names referring to each too IE Loup Garrou or whatever was specifically the family heritage curse and type.


Fun fact, I never directly looked any of these up. It just crops up in fantasy fiction FUCKING EVERYWHERE.

>>33181417

>>33188568
>Werewolves constantly smell like musk. Even as humans.
THIS is actually probable, as opposed to colorblindness. Thanks for reading my post correctly.

Probably not LOSE traits (IE lose third color receptor), but rather gain ones the other form didn't have.

As a human
>Has a partially formed tail
>Fur type body hair mixed in with regular

>Musk smell etc

Yeah human form werewolves would be ugly motherfuckers. But the Nictitating membrane would be a kickass party trick.

>>33184977
>>33185408
ackchually I think their ability to turn into a wolf would be a big part of their cultural and metaphysical identity. Just like Humans born in different climes and cultures will develop different aphorisms, outlooks and religious themes
for instance if people could fly the concept of state or centralized 'air space' would by necessity have developed very differently, as well as the necessity of airships when you have cheap alternative

>>33188841

I think the tail thing is unnecessary from a aesthetic standpoint, mostly because I don't want them to be furry fetish objects.

Sounds a lot like the Dog-Faces from the Ariadnaa faction in infinity; mechanically and behavior wise

. Dog-Faces will typically wolf out whenever they get angry or scared etc. While they have a slightly different than normal human form (i.e. slight muzzle, Robin Williams levels of body hair, yellow eyes, etc.) everything else is practically the same as average joe blow Ariadnan until they wolf out.

Although not with the same, turn into a wolf for fun, styled mechanics that OP was referencing. I think the way the societies of Ariadna adapted to Dog faces, and treat them as either second class or equal citizens depending entirely on which community the Dog-faces live in is something for OP to consider.

>>33188945
Tails on humans is an IRL thing.

NOT aesthetic, they look like rat or pig tails. Easily broken, PITA that's usually surgically removed. Embarrassing birth/genetic defect, and they'd have to keep coming up with excuses why they don't just have it surgically removed (because it just grows back).

>>33186012
>-ability to chase down and eat live prey that tastes better than anything you've ever had as a human

Carnivores typically only possess 1/25th to 1/40th the sense of taste that a human does - it's what allows them to eat all the gristly unpleasant bits that don't taste right. Herbivores however typically possess senses of taste 400x more acute than humans - so they can recognize what foods might not be good to eat because of small things like fungal spores etc.

>>33187340
>There has to be something else that they'd get access to, otherwise they are just bleh.

Berserker stereotype is overused.

Make them schizo unwilling-druids, and still fragile/skittish as real animals. They've had another lesser mind forcibly inserted into theirs, but it doubles as a constant radio receiver for nature magic 24/7.

They now have natural access and inherent use of nature magic not normally accessible, at cost of some sanity and control.

I kind of like infinity's origin of the "werewolf" curse.

Weird semisenitent almost-wolf natives of an alien planet (antipodes) bite a pregnant human woman; or pregnant woman gets one of the viruses (like bird-flu and swine flu) transmittable between antipodes and humans (because space magic alien biology).

Then her kid is going to be born a Dog-Face (i.e. werewolf, but with sci-fi space magic as an excuse)

The virus is not communicable from dog faces to humans. Just antipodes to pregnant women, so the Dog-Faces can be rather rare or very common depending on the antipode population around a community of Ariadnan settlers.

For the most part Dog-Faces are pariahs, social outcasts, or second class citizens. But over the hundred or so years of living in Ariadnan society their lots in life are slowly improving, and they are being accepted more and more.

When they corner it, it fits none of the wild man barbarian stereotypes and instead reveals a broader conspiracy where the werewolf is caught up in this as a loose end, which "THEY" are trying to dispose of as a stool pigeon before the werewolf, the only local capable of spying on nature magic who's aligned with the humans, can ruin the whole plan.

The werewolf character himself is a comical schizophrenic, who is a pickier eater than even the PC's, is absolutely abhorred by violence, and an unreliable coward who would rather tend to his gardens than be caught in the middle of all this. AKA ironic mountain hermit.

Cue PC's now caught in this conspiracy where they can't let powers that be know they know what they know while still having to stop it.

Sadly, I've yet to GM for players smart enough not to blow the whole thing five minutes in.

>>33189620
Yeah, if you have just one EXP hungry murderhobo PC that decides to kill the guy, because werewolf, that entire plot gets torpedo'd.

>>33181192
>Hollywood standard issue "cursed to run under the full moon"
that's not a hollywood standard only, it's one of the folkloric versions, probably even more popular than magic belt or skin/somersaulting over a stump with a knife stuck in it/etc

>>33181231
wolves run faster than men and can hunt their food/protect themselves without any weapon
also they can pasture cattle

it's not bad as an utility form

also it's possible that to take that form is more pleasant than to be a man, as it's often said in shapeshifting stories

>>33189768
They'll loot his hut. Murderhobos are always hoarders too. I can leave rambling journals there, enough to give the plot thread and make them feel like the assholes that they are.

They also might catch on if it doesn't really give a fight and we're only twenty minutes into the campaign.

Fuck it I might even have a PC forcibly were-wolfed by the fairies when they realize the fairies need another scapegoat to kill. Obviously the PC that killed him they will infect because it's easy to claim to the villagers that the PC was bitten in the fight and tried to hide it. Then the PC's realize what's going on, and the asshole PC will pay for his sins in will-checks.

Hopefully the PC won't complain too much about a gimped character if he's getting sweet druid magic out of the deal. God knows shitty players love snowflake characters.

I am the DM. I don't force curses on my players. Asshat.

>>33190778
So you've got an elaborate conspiracy that you've designed to throw the players into. Once they're actually caught in the damned thing you don't need to railroad shit.

And twenty minutes in one guy intentionally torpedoes the whole thing.

OK smartass, what do YOU do?

>>33190938

MoVe on and not "punish" my players.

>>33189454

How many pregnant women did they HAVE?

>>33181192
Discworld. Just use Discworld Uberwald werewolves.

>>33194661
Dunno, lots.

Ariadna's population is in the millions, and the colonies/nation has existed for more than a century. They haven't managed to exterminate the nativ-ermm, I mean, antipode race.

So quite a few pregnant women are infected I'd assume.

>>33197032

You wouldn't think there'd be a problem after the first few? Like "oh shit, my wife has a mutant fucking baby, into the trash it goes."

Or, lets not let our women get infected and have them in special non-furry wards.

>>33181192
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Lake

Your thread reminded me of this show. Interesting concept, I thought, but it flopped.

>>33189944
Wolves would be faster, but they'd have poor endurance compared to a human. So you could argue that humans are better suited to hunting prey by exhaustion.

And considering the size of animals humans tended to actively hunt. (Not like rabbit traps/snares etc) you wouldn't really need that extra speed anyway.

>>33197116
Plenty of babies did go into the trash, it was pretty dire for the first few ariadnans.....

Also there are entire colonies on Ariadna that pretty much devote themselves to just antipode extermination (Much like 4chan, the 'Murican colonies fight a constant war of attrition against the dread furry menace).

Problem is antipdoes breed like rats, and humans are effectively outnumbered on Ariadna 100:1. If you live in the outskirts (like in the British and 'Murican colonies) your wife has about a 1 in 10 (sometimes more) chance of having a dog-faced baby. The Russians and french colonies have it much better off though. So Dog faces are like a 1 in 100 kind of thing for them.

As has been stated in a previous thread, the only true werewolves are Humpwolves.

>>33188955
Christ, no offense, but how can infinity make Space werewolves so bland?

>>33189944
Then again almost no-one in developed nations hunts their food, so I don't see werewolves doing it either.

>>33198680
Simple. They started with crunch first, then wrote fluff afterwards.

Out of curiosity though, how would you spice it up? I have been kicking around the idea of making an infinity tabletop campaign, and any input on the setting would be nice to hear.

>>33181192
Jeremy Varner's "Shard's of Glass" covers the whole notion of what it would be like to live in the modern world as a supernatural creature, pick it up on Amazon for a back

>>33198954

>Hey Larry, let's go hunting!

>Naw man, Mickey D's sounds...you know, faster.

Amerifat werewolves don't hunt.

>>33199181

There's tons of Strong Woman in a Supernatural World novels. They usually aren't that good.

Hell the Dresden Novels aren't GREAT fiction.

>>33199237
>strong woman

wat?

>>33199220
Choosing between hunter-gathering in the woods or driving to the 7-11 isn't much of a choice really.

>>33199237
Shards of Glass isn't a 'strong woman' book, it's about a pretty /tg/ Cop

Werewolves get special hunting permit so they can be used to keep the deer/rabbit/etc population in check.

>>33188667
Canine social hierarchy:
Father is known as 'Alpha Male'
Mother is known as 'Alpha Female'
children are 'Beta'

not that complex

>>33199271

Overweight werewolves. Ugh, the swampass. Plus, if they have to get naked to shapeshift...

They all wear oversized shirts and shorts to shapeshift because they're embarassed. Except fucking Jimmy, who likes flashing his gunt.

>>33199308
That's racist. It's like saying that all black people are good at basketball and love fried chicken and watermelon.

>>33199384

Except they do.

>>33199379
>hairy unwashed swamp ass
>with clumps of 'matter' stuck to the pelt
>"it's muh werwolf musk!"

>>33199399
Of course they do, everybody loves fried chicken and watermelon, black, white, whatever, but that's beside the point.

>>33199384
>>33199399
I'm kind of curious where the watermelon and fried chicken=black people stereotype came from. I don't think I've ever met a person who dislikes either regardless of race/gender.

>>33199460
Both used to be considered "Trash" foods and were associated with poverty. Frying was a simple, communal cooking method that made the less desirable cuts of chicken more appetizing. Watermelon was literally transported here from it's native soil in west Africa to provide water and nutrition to slaves working in the field. It's extremely high moisture content made it an economic replacement to giving out cups or water breaks to the well to workers in the hot southern climate.

I've read a series in which the werewolves were landed nobility who lived in an oogly boogly haunted forest filled with fae.

They were otherwise pretty much just humans who turn into wolves. The alpha female was a toff and a lingerie model. I thought it was pretty cool.

>>33199508
Other things that used to be considered 'trash food' - Lobster, Barbecue, many forms of fish

>>33199407

MUH SIDES

>Werewolf fighting for dominance is like watching hairy sausages push at eachother, their own weight preventing them from any actual martial ability. They call these fights "tusslin". They both claim themselves the winner.

>>33188331
But what about the time before it was invented? Yes, it would have been invented faster if it was a larger problem but there would still be a time before.

>>33199631
>two hairy mounds of fat flesh puffing and wheezing
>dominance is established when the other goes into cardiac arrest

>>33199646

Yes, but because we're changing history, these medical advancements would have taken priority, and thus would have been developed sooner. The "olden days" would have been filled with blue/white/yellow signs.

>>33199673

>Despite their claims that fights are "TO THE DEATH!" No one ever actually dies. The worst fight was when Marcus chipped a tooth on the pavement when he tripped on a curve waddling towards Mike.

>Werewolves utilize WalMart Scooters, even modify them in Wolf form, and race eachother. It isn't actually that exciting, but they find it extremely funny. No one else does, honestly.

>They ALWAYS want to be werewolves in LARPs because "We're actually werewolves". The few non-werewolf LARPERS who are "werewolves" are actually faster than them, in any form.

Full moon causes a strong impulse to be in wolf form. You can resist, but you won't be able to do anything else since you'll be focused on not turning. There is no advantage or benefit to not turning. Some just use it has bragging right/betting. I bet I can stay in human form longer than anyone else, losers have buy pizza etc.
Grooming/hair saloons would see a lot more business. Some may even only specialize for werewolves.
If you're human and you don't give bellyrubs/ear scratches, you're not considered a true friend. human friends are pretty much forced to act has speaker and person with thumbs when they're in wolf form.
The cone of shame is illegal punishment in a few states.
They use horrible wolf/canine puns has pick up lines

And the gayest post this evening happens. Not even the guys who admitted being into morbidly obese werewolf sex are gayer than this post.

"Scritches" Jesus Christ

>>33199833

>Skinny human guy trapped between two obese werewolves. Attempts to escape their sweaty grasp, and succeeds. Realizing that, actually, he can just WALK AWAY faster than they can run, he just stays 8 feet away.

>BUT HE HAS BEEN MARKED

>>33199957
I'm not saying those are good things, but it would probably happen. Being constantly hounded because human hands are best at scratching etc. Really I just wanted an excuses to post horrible puns. Have to order pizza and all the fatwolves are in wolf form. The pizza guy just hears barking and howling in the background has someone orders pizza.

>Female werewolves are massive hambeasts that not even the fatwolves deem touchable. Black guys like them though.

>>33197756
honestly.... theoretically prehistoric humans used to hunt by exhausting their prey, but for modern ones, have you ever took a hike with a dog? that thing will run twice as much as you exploring everything and will be more fresh looking at you tired face with a smile. and not like it had any secret training

>>33198954
in medieval times a werewolf nation living by itself will probably be a (rather small) nation of hunters/shepherds

>>33200703

We aren't discussing medieval werewolves, though. We're discussing modern day ones.

>>33199151
Maybe we could add in a sort of double personality to them. When thet become wolves, they take on a more survivalist and naturalist mind frame. Perhaps also have some sort of pack tendencies, such as, if they are in a squad, they may select one them to be the alpha. Or maybe we could go into the actual virus more. Its effects on the creatures of the planet or, what happens when its tampered ith

I would totally give a werewolf musclegirl bellyrubs if she was in wolf form. It would probably be her biggest guilty secret pleasure.

>>33200703
Have you seen how many breaks the dog takes during it though? And how often it pants... imagine what happens when you deprive it of water and repeat the same stuff for over a day.

>>33206304
the average human breaks and pants even more. painted dogs and wolves both would chase down prey for miles. Canines hunt in the same way we do. It wasn't random chance that man chose dogs as our companions. We only have the advantage over them because we can carry water with us and have pointy sticks to make the kill with faster
