Have you seen The Howling II: You're Sister is a Werewolf?
no i haven't

There is a biker-chick werewolf with six breasts, though the lower two rows are considerably smaller.

We're not going for furry porn.

Wouldn't have to be porn, or even suggestive, if done right. Not that I think there needs to be female werewolves sporting multiple mammaries; I just don't think it needs to be ruled out so easily. The gestalt is supposed to be equal parts wolf and human after all.

But maybe this thread doesn't have a lot to do with topic at hand.

Not to mention that this is the thread for werewolves in human form.

Do you think some wolfish behavior would stick around in human form?

Like avoiding looking others directly in the eyes(Unless they are angry/challenging rank)

Or more ok with touching one another/have less of a 'personal space bubble'(Nothing dirty of course

) Wolves tend to nuzzle/rub against each other a lot.

Be more uneasy with non pack members in their 'territory'? Ect...

I dont think a WW in full-wolf form would be devoid of all humanity/human thoughts. So a WW in human-form wouldnt be completely devoid of wolf behavior/instints. Just my reasoning...

Nah, panting gives you a headache.

I could see that as a distinct possibility. It probably wouldn't be too obvious, but it would make a werewolf a bit quirky to a normal human.

Yeah, I reckon it would look odd to people who see a normal human lobbing duckies everywhere!

I agree completely. Not sure if 'marking your territory', ala Wolf, would be the right way to go, but it does help show how the canine instints could manifest in the hominid form.

I was watching one of the test videos yesterday, and I was thinking of something: Werewolves wouldn't be able to wear earrings (or any other kind of piercing for that matter.) They'd take them off when they shift, and as soon as their ears changed, the holes would close up.

Scott Gardener · Post by **Scott Gardener** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 12:32 pm

They could wear it, but they'd have to re-pierce after each shift.

Then again, werewolves could get accustomed to pain, especially if you don't follow the "gets easier over time" clause.

Havn't you heard of 'clip ons'

I think that quite a few WW traits would show through, but I also think it depends on how much they are in werewolf form (That is, if they can change at will. Depending on what your beliefs are.) I myself act very cat like and it's all because I was roleplaying as a cat girl for a very long time. Your mind adjusts to the form you use the most (and I was always a cat girl) so now I meow, purr and if someone tries to attack me first thing I do is hold my hands like claws. So if you're in werewolf form for say 60% of the time then I think that many traits would show through, including not a full change back into human. They could still have furry patches in places, slightly pointier ears, etc.

But that's just what I think.

Oh, what would happen if a werewolf left the earrings in when they changed...?

Yeah, but I forgot about them.

Silverclaw · Post by **Silverclaw** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 5:39 pm

If a WW wanted to keep wearing their non-clip-on earrings, they could just leave them on during a shift. I dont think that the hole would heal up if the earrings were left in. It would proably end up mid-way up the ear as a wolf/gestalt though. Could leave em in, but if they were smart, they would have a WW in human form take them out. And put them back in before turning back. Kindof a lot of work

Most WWs wouldnt have earring holes I suppose

Makes me wonder about tatoos. White Wolf made it appear that werewolves were all about having tribal tattoos and what-not, but wouldn't suich skin damage be healed upon shifting?

Silverclaw · Post by **Silverclaw** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 1:08 am

I think tattoos would stay on. Its ink on/in? the skin, not scars or tears/wounds. Fur would just cover it proably. Maybe it would look distorted when a WW is in wolf/gestalt form. But it would be back to normal when they shift back

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 1:15 am

But tattoos do fade after a while because the skin layer its in heals slightly, and sun fade as well as wear and tear.

Now tattoos are done under the main layer of skin, so that they don't flake off as th eupper demis layer does normally. But that doesn't mean that the skin wouldn't heal. Some of the inks are absorbed even. I'm sure there must be a tattoo artists somewhere amougnst us. ;)

The reasons why I know this is from the brief run down I got from teh tattoartist, when I got mine done.

Plus certain inks 'stain' better then others. So an outward sign of werewolfism could be that certain inks just _don't_ take at all.

They heal up, are absorbed, what ever.

outwarddoodles · Post by **outwarddoodles** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 7:43 pm

I'd imagine that just as regular they can heal up over time, and posibly distorted a bit between shifts. Yet the skin is stretching to fit over the new shapes, not exactly changing. Yet I really can't tell.

Then again, werewolves could get accustomed to pain, especially if you don't follow the "gets easier over time" clause.

Another way it could be done, even in regenerating werewolves, is that scars received in human form BEFORE being converted into a werewolf would remain (I've seen this sometimes in vampire fiction about regenerating vampires, so it is a possible plot element). In that case, if a woman had pierced ears before ever becoming a werewolf, she'd still have ear-holes in wolf form each time she changed.

Also, do werewolves regenerate well enough to expell foreign objects from the body? I've read some fiction where silver is deadly to werewolves both because it is a poison to them AND because they heal so well that silver bullets are retained inside the body unless a great effort is made to dig them out. If werewolves did not have some mechanism that expelled foreign objects from the body automatically, then the ear would try to heal around the earring, but not manage to expell it and heal completely. It might be nearly impossible to get the earrings off, and you might have to put in new earrings really fast after taking the old ones off. But that would just be a more dramatic way of wearing "posts" all the time, like everyone has to do for some months after getting their ears pierced. Perhaps a human-form telltale sign would be a vain woman who wanted to wear earrings, and had them on all the time, wearing posts even to bed at night.

On the subject of earrings: Clip-ons hurt worse than actually piercing the ear. For pierced earrings, I would think that a werewolf would be able to shift with posts in and not have a problem with it provided the backing's not too tight.

And tattoos: When you get a tattoo the ink is in the skin only. Therefore it would not show up as a pattern in the fur. I would think a werewolf would keep their tattos even through numerous shifts. It would still be there on the skin in gestalt or wolf form but you wouldn't be able to see it unless you parted the fur. One way to see how this works is to shave your head, get a tattoo, and let the hair grow back. You won't have the word "Bill" in blue on your hair but it would still be on the skin underneath.

Just make sure that you are not a man destined for male-pattern baldness!
