My werewolves can grow or retract their human hair, and with practice can grow or lose beards at will. I figure that if it's physiologically neccessary to do it anyway, why not? But, it takes practice, and constant attention if one is doing something particularly weird. Think of it like breathing.
Same goes for subtle facial features that can be gained or lost by turning more or less wolf-like, such as a flat face versus a sloped one with a prominant Italian-style nose, or distance between eyes. Not that one could impersonate David Hasselhoff; mostly one could just make one's normal face look a bit weird and funky.

Re: One brow to rule them all
*grins* I remember you mentioning that - and I also found it quite interesting ^_^. *is a dork and is proud of her unibrow*Scott Gardener wrote:Yes, I noticed. I commented it to Arania at one point about how spooky it was.
I agree about the idea of certain mannerisms. I noticed that my own subtle lupine mannerisms, even when intentionally exaggerated for test purposes, often times goes unnoticed. (Or, at least, un-commented upon. Maybe they noticed but just dismissed it as quirky.) I did so in situations in which people were fairly unfamiliar with me and thus not already aware of my fondness for lycanthropy.
As a side note, I picked up a pair of yellow eye theatrical contacts at A-Kon, but because of their transparent color, they did not appear particularly stark. My eyes did appear slightly larger with them. Most people did not notice that I even had them on. My sister did wonder why my eyes looked a little larger. (Maybe an Anime convention isn't the best place to see whether or not people notice large, funky eyes...)
I also have a pair of yellow contacts (prescription, too. My eyesight's not THAT bad, but still). They're not that evident inside - but if I go outside - they are REALLY obvious in natural lighting. I bought them a Long time ago for a costume.... and so they're old, and I usually have to soak them in contact fluid to soften them up..... it's horrible, I know, they're so old - but it's fun sometimes.

I've got contacts in my books and in my eyes...
Contacts do have a limited life span; you should consider replacing them, otherwise they could be damaging to your eyes.
Again, it's remarkable how much you can do without people commenting on it.

No defining physical charactoristics should be shown in my opinion. In the "Cursed" DVD I bought the werewolves had pentagrams on their palms which I didn't really care for.
I felt that they gave the werewolves away too easilly. If that physical charactoristic were used in another piece of werewolf fiction (say a werewolf hunt or the like) all the hunter would have to do was ask the towns folk to show him their palms.
Having no physical charactoristics deepens the mystery, in this case the werewolf could be the crazy guy living on the outskirts of the town, the preacher, the sheriff, the town drunk, or the scary looking kid ripping up the neighbors flower beds.
That being said I do tend to think that a werewolf's animal instincts should manifest themselves while he is in human form from time to time. (Stopping to sniff the air, able to see better at night, jump high, take a beating, etc.)

What's that star on the wall for?!?
If any physical features are made common, they'll be things like eyebrows that meet, not something so blatently obvious as pentagrams on the hands.

actualy something moe subtle like smeeling slightly different or having a tendency to shift ever the slightedst bit; a bit of points ears, a subtle but seeable rog of yellow around the pupil; something,like that would proabably be best.

I can see their sense of smell being affected. . good thing smell even better, repugnant things even worse.
My weres have claws in humanoid form, as well as enlarged fangs, and are covered with a short(1/2-1/4 inch long) fur, but then, they're not humans, they can be odd

Could someone explain why my Russian Wolfhound only eats my WereWolf Books?
Could someone explain why my Russian Wolfhound only eats my WereWolf Books?
This would be an interesting idea, as long as it was kept within limits. I remember in the Anita Blake books, some werewolves could flex their faces enough to make themselves unrecognizable, such as if they were in a situation where they didn't want their human form to get fingered as the culprit. However, just a few had that much control, and they had to concentrate really hard the entire time that their faces were held that way.Not that one could impersonate David Hasselhoff; mostly one could just make one's normal face look a bit weird and funky.

Oddly, most people don't have to practice breathing or pay much attention to it.
