Yah, some theories i've compiled up so far for one of my long-term projects. Some of them are very unorthodox and some can be kind of ludicrous.
But anyway, here goes nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic notes:
-Lycanthropes can change and revert at any time. The requirement of a full moon in the case of werewolves is only needed for providing more spiritual energy.
--
-Cell regeneration are more quicker than humans ? For example, a lycanthrope older than 100 years old will need approximately .86 seconds average to recover from small cuts, 1.6 seconds for more severe cuts, 3 seconds for a gauche, and about 20-40 seconds for a re-attachment of an organ (one that?s still intact?). So far, cases of regenerating new limbs to replace amputated ones have been very infrequent, and all of them register to some very old lycanthropes.
Should a lycanthrope have his/her head severed while still having the whole head intact, there is a much greater chance that they could be resuscitated.
By carefully positioning the head close enough to the damaged area; the cells will start to become active (like when 2 magnets become attracted to each other). Once the damaged area is fully recovered, electricity of ample amounts is applied to any part of the body to give resumption of body movement. The only important thing to remember about this part of the procedure is to apply most of the electricity to the brain and heart.
--
-Werewolf vulnerabilities are actually not apparent. Unlike in the myth, where silver would seriously torment them, there had been sufficient evidence throughout history of armored werewolves wielding silver weapons in military ranks. There have also been reports of werewolves who are in service of churches.
--
-Before a lycanthrope transforms for the first time, their eyes are shaped just like a human?s. But after that person transforms, the iris and aqueous humor widens in radius to almost cover the whole area of the eye socket, thus rendering the person to have more enhanced vision. Even if they revert back to a human, their eyes cannot revert back. Though this is a highly distinguishable feature of when identifying a lycanthrope, it?s not a very ideal way of hiding one?s identity when disguised as a human.
--
-After a lycanthrope reverts back to a human, their physical capabilities increase from a minimum of 6 fold to an average of 20 fold. The strongest a lycan has ever been as recorded was 138 fold, which is equal to an 8+ foot colossus lycanthrope in human form alone. After the first reversion, one?s physical appearance will change rather dramatically, with more definition of muscle tone and substantial loss of fat. Occasionally, the person could also become taller after reverting back to a human state.
When in the shifted state, lycans older than 100-200 years old have a much more robust and broad appearance, sporting much bulgier muscles, and a much more ?elongated? body proportion. Unlike modern lycans who have near humanimal facial features, their older counterparts have faces better resembling animals.
--
-Usually lycanthrope claws form at the base of the fingernail, but in this case, the fingernail becomes covered with vertical slits on each end of the finger/digit. This allows feline-like extension and retraction of the nail-turned talon.
--
***
-The process of ?infection? usually comes as the blood of a lycanthrope comes in contact with the opened wounds of a human. All lycanthropes (except for toothless ones) can also pass their abilities to humans by means of? um, a bite. Even lycanthropes of originally herbivorous nature are also able to do this.
sexual intercourse can also ?infect? a human of either gender. Though the presence of a condom may help, there is still a chance of being ?infected?.
--
-Once a lycanthrope changes, they age very slowly. To elaborate, children who transform at early stages of their lives will still age, but at the age of 20-30, their aging process freezes for quite some time. Adults who change for the first time will automatically have their aging process frozen. There?s been some lycanthropes, born some millennia or so ago, who still retain their youthful attire. Though modern lycanthropes don?t live as long as their much more older predecessors could, they?d still live quite a lengths of life.
--
-Lycanthropes older than 100 years old can actually grow with each time they transform and revert. Researchers are looking for means to imitate that ability to be applied to modern lycans at the average age of 30 who unfortunately do not have such an attribute.
--
-Depending on species, a lycanthrope, in human form, retains its resistance in different weathers. This is most likely because of the body heat having to be able to quickly adapt to environments like snowfields, volcanoes, jungles, etc.
--
***
-Contrary to popular belief, a lycanthrope?s sense of taste when in shifted form actually stays the same. In fact their digestive system becomes melded together with a human?s and the species of lycanthrope that they?ve been given. In other words, if you see a vulture lycanthrope in human form, feeding them carcasses won?t actually poison them due to their insanely strong digestive system.
---------------------------
by the way, "omake" is a japanese term manga artists put up in the backs of books to explain their semi-fictional theories that revolve around story plots. Don't start asking me technical questions that has the phrase "how is this possible?", please. I get very lost when i'm explaining myself, and writing all this alone gave me a very big headache. @_@
God, how many times did i mention the word "lycanthrope"???
Anyway, i hope you like. The pictures i'm working on are still in the making.
