No I was asking … Lol … Because I thought my character could use dogs as a selling point “Look at dogs, there are soo many types who are all very different looking form one to the next, and they are still considered one species, they interact as if there were no differences between them … And we’re here, eternally separated by the fact one of us is more human-like and controlled while the other is more wolf like and wild? We’re the same, we’re just blind to the fact and we think this one bit of difference is enough to cause a rift between us, but we’d be better, stronger and smarter if we were like one.”

I just googled the difference between Lycans and Werewolves
" Lycans don’t just turn into regular wolves—they take on a hybrid shape, blending both human and wolf traits . They might have an upright posture, human-like facial features, or even hands with opposable thumbs, making them very different from traditional werewolves, who usually look like full wolves."

So basically, Lycans are more upright, Werewolves more wolf like and aren’t upright, their limbs look more like wolves and more natural like, while with Lycans it would be unnaturally long, hairy and like a mixture of human and wolf, really disturbing … That could be it, right?

So this could be Lycan since it’s unatural-looking

And this could be Werewolf because it looks like a wolf, but it’s limbs are proportionate and it looks like a very large and scary wolf if you taught it how to act and pose like a human …

Also I like the fact what it says about the difference in transformation … Imagine if the Werewolves are the ones who can’t control how they act when they transform and are wild, yet they banish the ones who can control their actions in their wolf form
Because then maybe the cause of the rift could be that the Werewolves can’t remeber all the carnage they did while they were in their wolf form, and if as humans they see all the blood and carnage and what they did, maybe some chose not to accept the fact they were the ones to do it. Like seeing all the blood they said 'No, that’s soo much destruction, there’s no way I was the one to do it, even in my wild form" so naturally having to blame somebody, some werewolves chose to blame the Lycans for their destruction and that’s why they were banished?

I love the concept. Definitely a selling point for sure.

More or less yeah.

I actually came across an article about that after Posting this RP signups :joy:

Interesting :thinking: intriguing

Also I love the pictures used

I see the pre repeated, is that a typo and it should really be “per” person or does that mean that ONLY 4 Lycans can be made in the whole RP and before making the character we should check the avaliability?

In the Sign ups, can I make it an official fact that you can be born AND made a Werewolf, but you can ONLY be born a Lycan?
Also based on what I read online, Werewolves cannot control themselves when in their wolf form, but Lycans can, so will this also be true for Lycans here?

Also have Lycans and Werewolves separated by the wall from one another? Because based on the backstory I have in mind, I pictured that they weren’t separated form each other, but that they were separated from humans and from vampires and other species, but Lycans and Werewolves weren’t from each other? It’s up to you ofc, I can always change the bio, but here is more clearly what I’m asking.
The two options (although you can disregard them both and write a completely different one)

Option 1: Werewolves shunned Lycans YEARS ago before the wall was created and then the WALL separated them so they couldn’t reconcile even if they tried

Option 2: Werewolves and Lycans lived together before the wall, and even though they were different they lived in harmony because they shared the same enemy. They were simmilar enough to one another to dislike the humans and vampires because they were very different to them BUT when the wall separated Werewolves and Lycans form the rest of the world, the anomisity between the two species grew and they started disliking each other and at the height of it all the Werewolves banished the Lycans, and they still live in the same area but they acted like they have a restraining order on them, like the Lycans are around but they keep away from Werewolves, and Werewolves have taken one side of the land for themselves (Becuase they’re not rouges and like wolves they have borders to the wolfpack territories and they’re respectful of each others’ territories, while there’s a small chunk of land where the Lycans live)

Now the bio for my Lycan is a tragedy but it can only work with Option 2, so is it option 2 or should I change my bio?

@SotaForgotten Yeah every bit of information I have online about Lycans says they either can controll when they turn or they controll their form when they’re in their wolf form or both … I think the “can’t controll themselves” is always applied to Werevolves and werevolves only …

This is from the official Teen Wolf Wiki
“Their most unique ability is their ability to turn at will, though they usually turn at night. The moon could only affect and forcibly transform a Lycan that had not yet learned to control their transformations, though they could use the moons influence to change when weakened, such as when Lucian was restrained in silver for a day and escaped when the moon rose in the night sky. Their transformations are quick and painless when they are in control but when the Lycan has not learned such control, the transformation is slow and painful, taking several minutes to finish instead of a few seconds like other Lycans.”

This is from the Underworld Wiki
“They are able to transform back to their human forms and change into Werewolf forms when the moon is full. Those who have been Lycans for several centuries have learned to transform at will regardless of the moon, as they have learned to channel their rage. They resemble first-generation Werewolves, but their faces are shorter, and the least wolf-like in appearance. They also have far less fur than the earlier Werewolves. They are mostly hairless, aside from a thin mane of fur running down the center of their backs”

From a website that’s really good on giving you the differences between Lycans and Werevolves, for Lycans they say

And from the same website, this comes from
" 1. Voluntary Transformation

Unlike traditional werewolves, who often shift due to the full moon or strong emotions, Lycans can transform whenever they want. They have full control over their ability to switch between human and wolf form.

2. Hybrid Form

Lycans don’t just turn into regular wolves—they take on a hybrid shape, blending both human and wolf traits. They might have an upright posture, human-like facial features, or even hands with opposable thumbs, making them very different from traditional werewolves, who usually look like full wolves.

3. Physical Abilities

When Lycans shift, they become stronger, faster, and more aware of their surroundings. Their senses, speed, and strength all get a serious boost, making them incredibly powerful.

4. Transformation Speed

Lycans are often depicted as transforming rapidly between their human and wolf forms. The process can happen almost within seconds. Werewolf transformations are often shown as slower and more painful.

And if you want to learn more about werewolf transformation process – this deep dive article is just for you."

So unfortunately no. it’s already been a day since this has been posted and if I am going to change things like the ww not having control and lycans being the true blessed creators basically switching their roles, it would have to be agreed upon by everyone that is interested in the rp.

:thinking: I guess it’s possible but it’d be impossible for there to be lycans (since they were turned by ww)

so the humans were not separated from anyone. they were able to pass this wall like it wasn’t even there. it was the vampires and ww/lycans that couldn’t pass this wall until it just disappeared one day. vampires were on one side, while the ww and lycans were on the other, the reason for them being together is because one is naturally born while the other is made/turned.

the ww and lycans would still be on the same side of the wall.

they wouldn’t have known about the enemy until after the downfall of the wall that had separated them.

okay I don’t think you are understanding this. rp isn’t always realistic and i’m not going realistic here. so my lycans and werewolves are backwards but like I have stated before, it has been over 20 hours since this post has been public, therefore im not changing it unless the others are willing to have it change. not only that but lycans and werewolves are made up there for there is no right or wrong facts about them. they are speculations at best. This is a role-play that is fiction.

I mean … every information online about Lycans and Werevolves is also fiction, epsecially the wikis of their portrayal in the media lol

Basically yeah, I’m just trying to understand exactly how they’re different, becuase to understand how to bring them together I need to know what separates them, and for the bio I also need to know if some things are possible and if some aren’t

You can always change it, I’m not saying I’m asking you to, I’m not. I just wanted to give you some more information on the subject to consider, but it’s your story so although this portrayal will be different to most, it’s fiction so it can’t be wrong no matter how you decide to do it … I’m just saying 20 hours isn’t that long you can always change it, but if you don’t want to you don’t need to.
I get it though, too much research can exhaust you and I and my ideas and questions are exhausting too, I’ll stop now if you want me to, just say the word and I’ll try my best to zip it

Oh goodie! So then my bio can be just how I imagined it!

Does that mean that Lycans can only become Lycans if bitten not by birth? Becuase if so, you should put a disclaimer in the rules that whatever people read about Werevolves online applies to Lycans, and whatever they read about Lycans online applies to Werevolves … To avoid confusion, because if they go and research abou tthe species, the information will be conflicting and they’ll end up confused … But I really hoped I’d make a Lycan who was born into it

Well Vampires are immortal I think? :skull: so either way it could work with my idea.

I think I’ll reserve a vampire, human, and a Lycan for now

I really don’t think there’s a difference. It’s probably easier to combine the two into one species.
