#faqwerewolf

Hi! Thank you for your questions!

In regards of your werewolf character, they don’t have to start off as being part of a pack. You can make it a plot device to have them join one, that’s completely fine with us, however, have in mind that they do have to, eventually, be part of one.

As it’s stated in our lore, being packless affects werewolves physically and mentally, so, they would have to have been part of one, especially if they had been a wolf all of their life. You see, the way we have envisioned it, is that the lack of a link with a pack makes the wolf mentally fall apart and then it starts affecting them physically and comes to a point where they’re just so weak and out of it, that they die, you know? It usually takes one to two years-max. Whether you join an available pack, or you create your own it’s up to you!

As for activity, we consider ourselves to be very lenient with activity, as we’re all adults with busy lives just trying to write as a hobby, so, as long as you don’t hit the activity mark of being inactive for 10 days, we won’t nag you at all!

Hope to have helped, and if you have more questions, send them our way! Our next acceptances will be this Sunday!

Hello, hello, again!

It is possible that we missed some answers in our FAQ when we were reviewing it to reopen the roleplay, and that’s the case for one of them. We’ll make sure to edit that, so thank you for pointing it out.

To answer your question, all werewolves transform when the full moon is at its peak in the sky. Of course, that’s not to say that they cannot transform before its peak (i.e. if they’re facing a situation that makes them lose control of their inner wolf, if they’re in a fight or angry, etc), however, no matter how experienced and able they are, all werewolves transform when the full moon is at its peak, and yes, that transformation lasts until the moon sets below the horizon. Please have in mind that when we say that wolves can transform before the moon’s peak, we’re talking about full moon days, since we have stated that bitten werewolves can only transform on the full moon. Just clarifying that information.

Each of our full moons have different effects on both werewolves and sometimes, they affect other species, too. We have monthly full moon events and we describe those changes on each post. You can check more in our events tag here.

Thank you for your questions and we hope to see an app from you soon!

Hello again!

In our earlier discussions when coming up with the wolves’ lore, it was simply for plotting purposes, after all, it is easier to plot with fellow pack members, especially since we have spots for those packs (which you can find here) and people feel encouraged to join them, because it gives them much to work, especially during our full moon events.

However, after a while, both admins thought it would be nice to have the werewolves ‘linked’ and, if memory does us service, it was something we touched briefly on the first version of Astoria, but when we revamped the roleplay, we ended up leaving behind until now, and it was something we were going to both share with our current members and add to our lore in the upcoming days. 

Basically, when someone joins a pack, they are connected in a different way with the rest of the members. This connection makes them sense whenever they’re in the presence of their Alpha, and it can allow them to have their minds linked (yes, yes... kind of like Twilight, but this will come in handy during full moon events, and we are hoping to encourage our players to have more threads writing as the wolves), and that’s why losses within pack members are so deeply felt, because there was a connection that goes deeper than blood and it was severed. 

Hope this answers your question,

Hi! Thank you for all of your questions, and we're going to reply to each of them separately, because it might be a doubt that other players might have had too.

Unfortunately, that is not possible since, as stated in our lore, all werewolves whether they were born or bitten, go through their transformations during the full moon. Born werewolves turn on the first full moon after their 18th birthday, and, bitten werewolves turn on the first full moon after surviving their bite.

But, again, thank you for your question.

Hey! Yes, we do accept werewolves that don’t belong to a pack yet, however, since it’s stated in out lore that packless wolves don’t survive alone for too long, it would be good to have in mind that your character should be joining a pack soon. It’s actually a good plotting device if you think about it. 

Currently, we have two packs in our roleplay (granted, there are way more in the city of Astoria, but listing them was an easy way for us to make sure active packs had a fair number) as you can see here. And, out of these two, only one has an open spot for the time being. So, you have the option to either plot your way into taking that last spot in the future, or, if that makes you more comfortable, you can take the last pack spot on our page and then just ask for the Alpha of said pack as a wanted connection. Whichever works best for you and your muse!

If you have more questions, you can either send us more asks or just IM us! Looking forward to reading an app from you!

Hi!

That’s completely possible. Werewolves, although supernatural still have some human in them and, just like us mere mortals, chronic illnesses might happen. The way I see werewolves in this case, is that their fast healing would just slow down the destructive speed of said illness, the same way that the illness would slow down the pace of their healing. Depending on which illness you have in mind, it could also make shifting more painful.

We’d love it if you came off anon and messaged us so we could work together in this idea!

Hope this answers your question, and if you have more, feel free to come to us!

Hello! Aside from vampires (who can be killed but they won't age once they're turned), every other species is mortal so they age similar to humans (the one difference you may find in our lore is that werewolves stop shifting to their wolf form after they are 65 years old). You’re able to find general information about our species in the lore page right here, but if you already set about what kind of species you’d like to apply to in our roleplay, we’d advise you take a look at their page. We know that it’s extensive, but it might give you a better image of how the species works in our roleplay.

But, above it all, you’re always free to send us questions or come to us privately to share your doubts about it. We love clarifying them!

Thank you for your question and we can’t wait to read your application!

Hello! Yes, that’s exactly it. The moment a witch was bitten, they’d lose their power and become a full bitten werewolf. Which means that if they’re part of a coven, they could cut loose from it and search for a pack to help them go through the process of becoming a werewolf in the following full moon, if they’d like to.

Thank you for your question and we hope we’ll get an application our way!
