Howling for blood, one-eye leads on the pack
Plunging through forest and snowstorm
Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky
Fangs sped through jungles of ice
White Mountain - Genesis

Lucian Ruthven as the sexy devil of a Weretales that he is. Yeah I've come up with multiple things to call him and what he is... Werebeast, Werewolf, Weremeow or Weretales... I just dunno anymore it's amusing to figure out just what he is meant to be. In essence, he is pretty much a Werewolf in the Pokemon world. As far as appearances in this form, he very much looks like a massive feral Ninetales on steroids... he DOES keep a lot of his glameow features namely the markings and such on his form like the pink around his eyes, the white muzzle and paws. Though since he is a shiny he does keep the pale lavender coloration of a Shiny Ninetales along with the blue tail tips though the very, VERY tip is white.

As far as my werewolves go... I don't go by the newer looks for them. I heavily base my Werewolves off of American Werewolf in London, you know This Guy oh and This Guy. Seriously, love that movie... it's one of my all time favorite Werewolf movies to date >> granted I do like other takes on them I just... I prefer this one.

Lucian, when transforming would more than likely have a combination of things... specifically his body feeling like it's on fire and being burned from the inside out causing immense pain and discomfort (Much like American Werewolf in London) and a subtle combination of the body deforming and reforming, bones cracking and stretching, etc. etc. (Again, American Werewolf in London) along with the skin and flesh ripping apart (ALA Van Helsing transformation) so yeah... it's a very slow, LONG and painful process. And then naturally, Lucian has no way of controlling himself when he does transform. Which is generally why he locks himself in a cage the night of a full moon so he cannot get out and brutally murder people.

I also liked the concept from American Werewolf in London that anyone a werewolf kills gets caught in Limbo until the werewolf is in turn, killed. Which means, Lucian is likely haunted by the countless restless spirits of people he HAS killed... >> yeah sweet dreams thinking on that. Oh and should I also mention, the longer the werewolf is alive the more decayed and decrepit the spirits get? So if someone is freshly killed they will have their glorious bodies looking like they were when Mr. Werewolf left... if they are say... a week or so old they will look decayed, skeletal, etc. :dummy: Yeah... have fun eating now that I put that image in your head... >>
