Appearance:
Human form: A rather tall and moderatly built young man, Michal's body is well but densely mucseled. His skin color is quite light. Michal tries to keep his hair short and moderately well styled and does his best to remain clean shaven though this is rather difficult. Michal doesn't usually spend much time picking out cloths, he tends to favor comfort over style but other then that will wear just about anything.
Feral form: As is common in a Wenruru's feral form Michal has thick hair covering his entire body. The face changes to begin to resemble a wolfs and the feet and hands have good sized claws where the nails used to be.
Wolf form: In Michal's wolf form he is almost indistinguishable from any common wolf to the untrained eye.
Spetana form: Unknown.

Personality:
Michal is ultimately a kind soul who lives in constant fear of loosing control and harming someone. Though he knows that sometimes fighting is necessary he still doesn't like to do it. Due to his highly infectious nature Michal tries not to get to close to anyone, especially females, for fear of turning them to Wenrurus as well. However, Michal is a strong friend with powerful views of right and wrong who isn't afraid to speak his mind.

History:
Michal's mother lived in a town near the edge of Briton when Michal's father passed through. The father was being pursued by the Order due to the fact that he was a werewolf. Michal's mother, being very openhearted and just a bit foolish, took Michal's father in for the night and hid him. Michal's father would depart in the morning, fleeing again, but not before sowing the seed that would eventually became Michal.

When Michal was born his apparent oddness was so obvious that it shocked Michal's mother into action. She began to research quickly and intently, she quickly became aware of magic and the truth of werewolfs. After 8 years of constant travel and work she finally discovered the truth of Wenruru werewolfs. She carefully explained everything to Michal and began to teach him what she had learned herself. During her travels she had managed to acquire an extraordinarily battered copy of the second volume of the Wencagu, she immediately gave the book to Machal and he was instructed to memorize it by heart.

Though Machal's mother had done her best to work economically the traveling had completely wiped out the family's savings. Fortunately, Machal's mother was a hard worker and had simple enough tastes. Machal also wanted little material in life and was simply amazed by his mother's devotion and virtue. Two years later a strange wandering book peddler wandered through the area selling books. Machal immediately recognized a copy of the first volume of the Wencagu and quickly purchased the item. Fortunately the seller didn't appear to recognize the value or nature of what he was selling (Or did he? *Dramatic cue*) and Machal was able to acquire the book. Unfortunately, when Machal and his mother got a chance to examine the find they found many pages had been ripped out (Darn you mysterious book peddler, Darn you!).

Machal was able to live a kind of a normal life in the city where he had been born by using the techniques and skills taught in the books that had been acquired. However it wasn't much of a life worth living. Machal had serious problems getting close to any of his peers. After all, in these days nobody could expect to simply be told that werewolfs existed, much less down the road. In addition Machal had to stay home from school one out of three days on average to hide what he really was. No way he could be seen in any form except his human one.

6 years later, they both realized that Michal would never be able to live a normal life in the world without serious training. During her research on werewolfs Machal's mother had learned about the existence of magic around half way through. She had heard a few things about the Academy and after a little more research and some talking both Machal and his mother decided that it was the best place for Machal to go. To everyone who knew Machal he was simply going off to some special school. This brought Michal to the Academy. Michal has come to master his own body, his Wenruru magic, and maybe learn a few other things as well.

Style:
Michal mostly uses a magic known as Wenruru magic. It is an incredibly obscure form of magic usable only by Wenruru werewolfs. The exact nature of the magic is difficult to pin down as it seems to use aspects of shamanism, necromancy, Qi, and of course transformation. The defining quality of this magic is that it mostly connects to the spirit of the wolf or mind of the man. Almost all Wenruru magic is either classified as a spell of the wolf or a spell of the man. Spells of the wolf strengthen the wolf feelings and make thinking harder, spells of the man weaken the enhanced wolf traits. Wenruru magic is incredibly focus based.

Strengths:
Michal's most obvious strengths are what come from his werewolf nature. Michal is naturally fast, strong, and tough. In addition, Michal's natural regeneration makes him very difficult to kill. Due to the dangerous factor of his claws and fangs and Michal's natural inclinations to not harm others he has begun learning several forms of martial arts so as to avoid the use of his natural weapons. Michal also possess enhanced smelling and hearing as well as the ability to see well in low light.

Weakness:
Michal has a natural weakness to silver just like all of his kind. In addition scar tissue formed by fire are impossible for his natural regeneration to deal with so it is quite dangerous to him as well. Also, the more he relies on his Wenruru power, the more difficult it is for his human mind to retain control. Like all Wenruru Michal is completely color blind and is effected by the phase of the moon. Staying in any form for extended periods is detrimental to any Wenrurus heath, adverse effects can begin to appear after 24 hours straight in a single form.

Spell list:
Natural Effects:
>Regeneration: Michal's body will regenerate wounds at an incredible rate. However, this does not mean that he does not feel pain and can still fall uncontious due to shock.
>Enhanced senses: Michal possess' enhanced smell and hearing as well as night sight.
>Transformation: Though it isn't easy Michal can shift to any of his 3 main forms at will.
Wenruru Magic:
>Strength of the pack: Temporarily enhances the users strength 3 fold. However, after the spell ends the user will only have 1/3 of his strength for a time. A spell of the wolf.
>Hunger's reach: Causes the victim to become very hungry and thirsty. A spell of the man.
>War Howl: Enhances the users voice many times. Can strike fear into the hearts of enemys. A spell of the wolf.
>Gift of the second life: Temporarily transfers the regenerative powers of a werewolf into another person. However, this leaves the user without such abilitys and vulnerable for several minuets. A spell of the man.
>Spirit Fangs: This spell causes a shadowy maw to fly from the users mouth. It will track the intended target to a degree and when it reaches it will bite down... hard. The mouth may be illusionary, but the teeth are very real. A spell of the wolf.

Wenruru Wearwolfs

The Wenruru werewolf is an exceptionally rare being. Wenruru's were named after Andrew Wenruru, believed to be the first Wenruru to live past childhood. He also created Wenruru magic, an obscure form only usable by Wenruru werewolf's. This creature is formed first due to the birth of a child with one werewolf parent and one human parent. However, all bodily fluids of a Wenruru werewolf will cause a human to turn into one (even heavy kissing carrys some risk of infection). Due to the malformation of the standard werewolf curse any already cursed humans (normal werewolf's, vampires, zombies, ext) will have strong defensive reactions often ending with sudden death. This event also occurs between Wenruru werewolf's unless they are related by blood or one turned the other. Also due to the unstable nature of the curse, body fluid will lose it's potency after about 2 minuets outside a host.

In major ways, Wenruru werewolf's are not so different from normal wear wolfs. They posses exceptional regenerative powers; enhanced strength, speed, and senses; and transform into wolfs. However Wenruru wear wolfs are color blind and can still use magic, often quite well. The largest difference though is control. Wenruru wear wolfs can control there transformations, capable of assuming any of the basic forms at will. However, high emotions or stress can cause a Wenruru to lose control.

Wenruru forms
1) Human form: In this form the Wenruru appears perfectly human and can blend in perfectly to the untrained observer. In this form thinking is easiest and non Wenruru magic is easy to perform. However, any entity with a strong sense of smell will easily tell that they are not human as they will smell different. Any kind of werewolf will be able to tell that who is another werewolf even from across a room using this fact. This form pulls more during a new moon.
2) Feral form: The description of feral form to describe this is actually quite inaccurate. Though working complex mental problems become somewhat different in this form the Wenruru is still usually in perfect control. This is the form that naturally birthed Wenruru are born in. The common appearance is that of a large half human half wolf beast that stands on two legs. the hind legs turn to paws and the front hands grow claws where the nails used to be. Standing up straight is still the preferred form of movement though sometimes a hunched over posture is used. The face begins to appear wolf like and the entire body is covered in hair. Human speech is still possible but difficult due to changed voices box and mouth shape. Magics not using spoken words are still possible but difficult. In this form the wolf traits (Enhanced strength, speed, regeneration, senses) are stronger then in human form.
3) Wolf form: In this form the Wenruru is rather indistinguishable from a wolf in appearance. However, like in human form, a unique sent sets them apart. Natural wolves will rarely tolerate a werewolf regardless of form. In this form human speech is impossible as is almost all non Wenruru magic. In this form control is still prevalent however, thinking like a human becomes difficult. With more experience the effect is lessened. The wolf traits are strongest in this form. This form pulls more during the full moon.
4) Spetana form: Also known as the spirit form. This is the most difficult form to achieve, some Wenruru go there entire lives without entering this form. The appearance of the Spetana form is unique for every Wenruru and theres no telling what it could be. Little is known about this form. Most individuals remember an incredible feeling of wisdom and understanding though there exact memories are always fuzzy. In this form Magical ability's have been recorded to jump to 10 times there normal capacity.

It should be noted that staying in any form for a long period of time or avoiding one of the three main forms for extended lengths of time is detrimental to the Wenruru's health.

The Moon
Though the moon's phases will not force a Wenruru to change it will exert a 'pull' causing one form to feel more comfortable then the other. Wenruru werewolf's will feel this pull regardless of whether they can see the moon. One last note: During the night of every full moon all Wenruru werewolf's go into a state of heat, unlike the pull, this is effected by the position of the sun though no one knows why.

Wearwolfs
Other werewolf's can often not tell the difference between Wenruru Werewolf's and normal werewolf's unless they know what to look for specificly. However, normal werewolf's commonly despise Wenruru's because of the difference in control and magic.

Wolfsbane
The plant known by some as wolfsbane (poison ivy) contrary to legend will not kill a wenruru. However there are still some odd effects. Contact between the leaf of a wolfsbane plant and a wenruru's skin will prevent the wenruru from any transformation for a period of time locking the wenruru in there current form. The amount of time depends on the amount of wolfsbane applied and the length of time it is applied (and yes, it still itches). Consuming wolfsbane leafs will cause severe indigestion, but will not inhibit transformation or cause other ill effects; however, according to the second Wencagu this can have a strong medicinal effect on wenruru. Strangely enough, the smoke from burnt wolfsbane leafs is an extremely powerful aphrodisiac. Any other part of the wolfsbane plant, aside from the leaf, appears to have no effect whatsoever.

The Wencagu
The Wencagus are the only known source of written information on wenruru werewolfs. There are three volumes though they do not relate extensively.

The first was written by Andrew Wenruru (See first paragraph) and is considered the most important. It was written in 413 A.D. during the end of Andrew's life. Contained within it is all of the wisdom and knowledge that he gained about wenrurus and being a wenruru that he gained throughout his life. Much of what he wrote forms the base of a wenruru's life. Also, the second half of the book contains instructions to every spell in wenruru magic that Andrew created including the three form seal, one of the most powerful sealing spells in existence.

The second volume was written by an unknown member of the Reklaw family. During the 12th century a single wenruru began to create a family of wenrurus based on peaceful yet hidden coexistence with humans. Based in Germany, he slowly reveled himself to a few select individuals whom he trusted and, with their permission, infected them and let them into the 'pack'. By slowly expanding and also having children in the normal way the Reklaw family eventually reached 85 members without the majority of the human population realizing. For a time the Reklaw lived good productive lives under a strict code of conduct. It was beginning here that the practice of forbidding combat with tooth and claw was forbidden. Eventually, the Reklaw family slowly dwindled then died off for some unknown reason, however there book of laws still lives on. The second volume of the Wencagu is mostly filled with the code of rules that all wenruru follow to ensure there own safety as well as the safety of those around them. The second volume is the one most jealously guarded by wenruru as much of what it contains is considered secret.

The third , and most resent, volume of the Wencagu is the only one so far not written by a wenruru. It was penned by a Dr. Mescada in 1927. Almost nothing is known about Dr. Mescada or how he got his information. The volume is more of a science journal about both the mundane as well as scientific and magical properties of wenrurus. Wether his information is even correct or not is difficult to tell, however his studies are extraordinarily detailed. Some of the results described and sketches made are rather mascarabe.

All three books are so very rare that some even doubt there existence. Even the Academy library has only one copy of each, and wont lend them out to just anyon
