Lycan: Lycans are born to Lycan or Werewolf parents. A Lycan born to a long line of ONLY Lycans Is ‘pure’, having more social status than any other type of full-blooded Lycan. Lycan children have a lot of pride in their heritage and normally go through their first Change when they hit puberty, though some have been known to Change earlier. The Change is uncomfortable, but not painful, and they can Change at will whenever they like after the first time. In the old days, Lycans were considered adults after the first Change, but this is no longer the case. Lycans are far from immortal and can die from most conventional means, and are also damaged by silver. They are held to council laws, and most are pressured into joining packs, which must be made valid by a local council (This is less important in some rural areas, and can’t be watched as well in big cities.) Lycans in wolf form are faster and stronger than an average werewolf in wolf form. They have a sharp sense of smell in both forms
Half-breed: Also known as halfsie. This is a child born to one Lycan or Werewolf parent and one human. Their powers and ability vary from near that of a full blood to near that of a human- on average they are slightly less powerful than a werewolf. They Change as Lycans do and generally have some knowledge of pack life, but are considered lower class than a Lycan, generally equal to werewolves. Most are damaged by Silver and have a strong sense of smell
Werewolf: Known as Turns for at least the first few years after being bitten. Werewolves are always born to human parents. There are strict laws against Turning an unwilling human- the biter can be put to death is reported. Either a Lycan or another Werewolf can Turn a person. Werewolves must Change at least once every full moon, but outside of moon cycles it can take months or years before a Turn can change at will. Changing is always painful for a Werewolf. They are low class in packs, and some even refuse to admit them. They are stronger than most halfsies, but ignorant in the ways of wolf life, and an annoyance to some pack members for years, and maybe forever. They are damaged by silver, and their sense of smell in human form is stronger than normal, but not amazing.
Humans: Rather self explanatory. Normal, everyday people. Sometimes taken in by packs as ‘pets’.
