	Lycanthropes find themselves to have many different effects, the most prevalent of which that new lycanthropes notice is their aversion to [[silver~~]] and [[gold~~]] as it takes effect in both forms. [[silver\|Silver]] and [[gold]] will burn them and while [[silver]] is more effective at cutting through their flesh as [[gold]] is much weaker, both are the most common ways of cutting through a transformed lycanthropes pelt. A lycanthrope in their transformed state will seek to consume flesh above everything else, though their fight or flight instincts are still prevalent. With special care and training regarding their bestial parasite on their [[The Soul\|soul]], a lycanthrope is capable of going from Feral to in Control, by beating down their bestial curse. Or in other cases, the feral lycan can learn to cooperate with their bestial [[The Soul\|soul]], merging them into one fluid entity rather than something forced into submission.

	A lycanthrope is required to change into their bestial form once an OOC week, unless they have control. If they don’t do so, they will be forced to change into their bestial form once night strikes the next that they roleplay. This transformation will be much more volatile than it might’ve otherwise been. If the lycanthrope choses to transform on their own free will, they will tend to be less careless and have more self-preservation. A lycanthrope is capable of transforming more than once per week if they wish, however the transformation can only be done at night time.
