Fur Color

[Leighlia]

That would suck, having hair that shifted colors with your moods. You'd never be able to play poker.

[Lupin]

Mood fur aside, I wonder how helpful a werewolf's sense of smell would be when playing poker.

[white]

Probably very.

[Scott Gardener]

Werewolves would be killer poker players; they could sense all the subtle things that sunglasses can't hide.

[Veruth]

Werewolves would be killer poker players.

What about against other werewolves? That would be an interesting game.

Hehe, that would be an interesting twist on the normal "person interupts a bunch of werewolves doing their thing."

In fact, that gives me an idea...

OH NO...
Not another spin on the "They're DOGS, er, WOLVES, and THEY'RE PLAYING POKER!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" scenario.

Nope. They are playing pool this time.

[Lupin]

Nope. They are playing pool this time.

They'd scratch up the table with their claws.

[white]

Now that would be funny; a bunch of werewolves (in human form, of course) coming together with one unsuspecting human and making a fool of him

[Figarou]

Nope. They are playing pool this time.

They'd scratch up the table with their claws.

Huh? Now how are they going to do that when using Pool sticks?

[white]

They would still have to place their hands/paws on the table to steady/aim the stick, wouldn't they?

Exactly.

yes. The hand thats on the table is to guide the pool stick. If placed carefully, the werewolf won't scratch up the table.

But if the cue ball is pocketed during a break or play, then he "scratched."

But that has nothing to do with claws

Its a PUN.

No actually it's a more of a double entendre.

whatever.

[Lupin]

There's a difference

[W0LVERINE]

Well say the person's hair color is bright blond, I don't think the person would wan't there other part bright blond to lol. I'd say it's more to there personality...

[Silverclaw]

I preFUR (groans) that the persons hair in human form to be the base color in WW form. They dont have to be one solid color, just have some blonde fur mixed in with other shades.
In gestalt form though, it should never look like they are wearing a wig *gray WW with golden blonde hair/mane* *shudders*

[JoshuaMadoc]

i'd like to see a male WW with pink headhair

[Morkulv]

I like the mood fur idea. I think it's kinda cool. Totally inappropriate for Freeborn, but cool nonetheless. I would love to read a novel or watch a movie where the werewolves changed colors, according to mood and good/evil alignment.

I dunno... It sets off my 'WTF-o-meter'.

[Ultraken]

I concur.

Now, wolf fur color does change over longer time periods, both over the course of years (generally fading), and between winter and summer coats (greyish in summer):

From Lioncrusher's Domain:

Most wolves, especially the black wolves, have a gene that codes for their color to fade. A wolf that is black one year soon develops a little white around its face and muzzle the next year, and that white moves further along its body each year. There have been cases where all-black wolves have actually turned pure white by the time they are eight to nine years old. Wolves also change color somewhat between seasons. They are their truest boldest colors in the wintertime. In the summer, when they shed, their coat becomes more greyish; so a white wolf becomes a little darker, and a black wolf becomes a little lighter. Even wolves that do not have the gene for coat fading still do change color as they mature to adulthood. Arctic wolf cubs are a medium brown or beige, and as they mature their coat bleaches to white. Timber wolf cubs are also born a brownish color with slightly darker timber markings, but they usually loose their brownish coloring and gain more of a grey and white contrast to their coat.

I figure werewolves would not suffer hair loss or baldness, but would instead have a tendency towards prematurely grey hair. (So, human hair color and wolf fur color would influence each other...)

[black-wolf-]

yeah..i think you would....so i guess i would have blonde fur...interesting to think about....nice subject
