The Book Genesis of the Old Testament tells the story of the first murder. Fueled by jealousy Caine kills his brother Abel. God places a curse on Caine.
Cain then tries to convince God that everyone he comes across will kill him. God then places a "mark" upon Cain. So that all who see him will know he is cursed and that to kill him would bring an even greater curse upon themselves.
It is my theory that the mark God placed upon Cain was the curse that caused him to change from a human into a wolf .
Cain as I said earlier, can be derived from Cainus Lupus or wolf as it is more commonly called.
*The story of Caine and Abel can be found in Genesis the fourth chapter.
A note from Tala:
I don't think werewolves really exist, but if they do then I guess this is how they came about. I hope you thought my little theory was interesting.

Thats an awesome theory.
Althougth I don't think being a werewolf would be such a curse if you could control the powers. Turning into a werewolf would only allow him to kill more and spread the curse.
I am not really religious so I don't really know the story, but it is still a cool theory.

Yeah well, when creating Tala me and Cain had a debate on whether it really is a curse.
I'm not so sure it would be. To be able to change oneself into a creature so free and independent would be awesome. At least I think so.

Well, if your 'theory' is correct, which I would bank on this one if I really believed in werewolves, God would make the change painfull. That would mean everytime Cain changed he'd have to go threw a little of what he put his brother threw. So, in which case the power wouldn't match the pain. Hince you would think it was a curse. And you wouldn't like it. I don't know, but if I had to pick a supernatural being to be I'd pick the vampire. I mean sure, it'd suck to be damned, but as long as you didn't let the Sun catch up with you, you'd be okay. If you were a werewolf you'd be hunted, and you'd have the whole 'moon' thing. That'd suck.

Oh and the first vampire is mentioned in the Jewish Bible (I think), Lilith or something, anywho. Supposedly she was the first woman, but God saw she was evil (because she drank blood) and replaced her with Eve. But it turns out, Eve wasn't all she was cracked up to be either. Darn Satan.
I got all this jazz from an English teacher over at ETSU, I don't know how much of it is right, because I learned it back in the summer. Like I remember that far back. Yeah right. |

After watching Van Helsing for the 40th time I would love to be a werewolf. Giving the fact of control-alibilty and no pain between transformations, werewolf is by far better than the vampire.
With werewolves there is not a natural blood lust they must endure. They are more freespirited and are not limited to blood from a human.
I think werewolf is the better choice of the two...
Unless you want to throw in the factor of the full moon and sun thing then vampire might be better in that section. I guess vampires can fly as well. Still... I stick with werewolf. |

I'm sure it was painful for Cain but he was the first. Maybe after awhile it got better. Like childbirth, Eve's curse. You can't tell me having babies isn't easier now than it was then.
Anyway, I'd rather be a werewolf.
Reason number 1, I don't like the thought of being dammed. Eventually if the sun don't get you the end of the world will. You'll have to be judged then.
Reason 2, I'm a control freak. Werewolves have control over their bodies that vampires don't.
Finally reason number three, I don't like blood.

^^ Hn. That's a really good theory! Wow...Never woulda thought about that...Anyhew, I'd love to be a werewolf, if I could control the change. XD I'm a night-owl anyway so I'd relish in being able to stay out all night. Sure the same thing is true for vampires, but I just hate the sight of blood...

I see how it is, y'all just gang up on me. Jk, if you wanted to control change, you'd be Lycan. Which would be pretty wicked.

Good to see we have some fun here...
It's a great theory, Tala, you apparently put some thought into that. Which makes me feel dumb (j/k)
I'd actually go with Vampire. Just cause I think they're cool ^^
It seems like..... most of the members here are blond o.O I'll try not to go stupid on here, I'd like to be a SMART blond XP

There's not a lot of smart people where I'm from, blond or not. People here think I'm smart, aside from my best friend, who thinks she's the smartest peron on earth. I'd invite her here if she knew how to RP  |

^-^ I know people like that. Surprisingly there are quite a few smart people where Tala and I are from. I'm just not one of 'em.
