♦ SPECIES INFORMATION ♦



Name of Species: Hellhound



Spoiler

Baseline Dimension:



(Human) || General dimensions of a Hellhound when maintaining a humanoid form will - more often than not - take after the common averages that legitimate humans would; implying that fully grown heights would likely average anywhere between 5'4" (~162-163 cm) to 5'10" (~177-178 cm) on average, though these heights are subjective altogether, and any Hellhound could very well exceed these averages, or perhaps fall short of them. To match, their weights and builds are often differing as a result, though are normally of the average weight that a human would be at any given height, with some influence from his or her gender.



(Wolf) || Often times, male Hellhounds stand at a shoulder height of approximately 13 feet (~396 cm), as well as a nose to tail tip measurement of about 16 1/2 (~502-503 cm), all while weighing in at an average of 900 lbs (~408 kg). Females, on the other hand, have been recorded to stand at a shoulder height of 10 feet (~304-305 cm), as well as a a nose to tail tip length of 13 1/2 (~411 cm), while holding an approximated weight of 700 lbs (~317-318 kg) on average. Those of the male variation have been known to host bulkier bodies with more muscle and definition within their forms, while females are lighter and more agile. However, builds among different Hellhounds could easily differ and stray away from the norm.



Baseline Appearance:



(Human) || Regardless of gender, a given Hellhound's appearance will likely reflect their pelt color within their lupine forms, if not take on the standard, black hair, and crimson eyes, that most Hellhounds are known to have. If the aforementioned appearance isn't the one that they take on, then any Hellhound could possibly have the natural hair and eye colors that existing wolf breeds would have within their pelt and eyes alike; thus making it possible for someone of this species to naturally have white hair, as well as golden or amber eyes. Forms could easily differ depending upon the various factors of one's biology - such as metabolism, eating habits, exercise routines, and other things of the sort - but generally, males hold a well build and toned build, while females generally follow suit, although with a thinner body in order to enable room for more natural agility and flexibility.



(Wolf) || While many Hellhounds boast a sleek, shining fur coat of ebony, as well as eyes of crimson to match, the fact of the matter is that Hellhounds altogether aren't strictly limited to the aforementioned appearance altogether. Most may host the given look, though others - more often than not - also host features similar to common wolves in accordance to their specimens. As such, if a Hellhound doesn't have the black fur and red eyes that most of their race would, then fur possibilities could range anywhere between russet, to grey, to even white, among the colors of other, natural wolves. Alongside this, their eyes would likely take some hue of amber, brown, gold, gray, blue, or green. Unlike the restrictions set upon common wolves, however, these colors are capable of being mixed and matched, so a given Hellhound could also hold a mixture of colors within eyes and pelt alike that a legitimate breed of wolf wouldn't be able to have; such as a white pelted wolf with amber or gold colored eyes. Abstract pelt colors such as pink or purple are impossible, with the same applying to eye color, unless the Hellhound in question happens to be a hybrid of a specimen that is capable of holding colors of this sort as the natural hue within their features.



In addition, the forms of most Hellhounds in their lupine form tend to be rather toned, alongside large, in general. Their fur coats are also soft and warm for sake of bodily insulation, and could measure anywhere between short to long as far as fur length is concerned. However, these aren't necessarily the strict features to be seen upon a Hellhound within their wolf form, and differences could be seen within individuals, as features altogether would depend vastly upon the being in question.



Culture/Origin of Species: While the beliefs altogether waver in faith between many individuals within the current day and age, legends within the ancient past of Mistere mention beings of a lupine form being both blessed and cursed alike by the keepers of the underworld in order to petition their aid in watching over the souls of the underworld. With the calm intimidation of curses had they been blessed; as they had been with flame, fury, and sense, among other factors, as well. Within this day and age, it is said that dogs are man's best friend.



These particular legends could very well promote this in a more fierce and ancient sense.



According to legend, the gods of eld had taken it upon themselves to search for companions to aid them; not within the guidance of souls, but rather, the keeping and security. As such, they required beings that boasted but authority and strength to interact with even the fiercest of the fierce for sake of keeping them within their places when their time upon the lands had come to a close. Hunters are what they required for this duty.



Hunters. Protectors.



As such, they extended their reaches to various sources; eventually finding themselves at a clash with the beasts of the wild, and - in time - soon finding the resolve and tenacity that they very much needed. Finding themselves not at the mercy, but at the interest and curiosity of a pack of lupine beings, they found themselves at a gradually progressing impasse. Naturally, the beasts themselves chose not to trust them with each, closer step that they took towards them, and their own; baring fang and claw alike within sheer tenacity with intentions of protecting their kin in the face of these foreign gods. The first encounters had been those of skepticism and hostility towards the gods of eld, though in time, they had managed to gain a small degree of trust from these fantastic beasts in order to observe them from a closer level.



Moons passed, and as they did, they managed to grow closer; soon enough spurring these gods to bestow blessings upon these creatures, as well as their family and kin. Initially, they gave them the power to communicate within their own forms; thus deepening their bonds even more before bestowing further capabilities upon them. Next came the blessing of strength, and - once they had deeper discussions of their futures, as well as promises and suggestions of greater powers - convinced this first pack of beasts to be the first bearers of the damned and the underworld.



With trust accumulated over time, these gods had eventually bestowed greater capabilities upon the pack; enabling them the soon ability to assume a form much like their own. While lupine at heart, these beings had been granted a human build - alongside the varied other powers bestowed upon them - and gradually began to adjust to life both within the wild, as well as within civilizations, in accordance to their own motivations. As time went on, and the beliefs of those upon the surface began to dwindle in regards to the existence of heaven, Hell, and everything in between, many of these beings have strayed from the initial duties of their ancestors for sake of making their lives their own with their abilities to integrate into society.

Traits:

•Heightened Senses || Due to being of partial wolf blood in one way or another, those of this species host heightened senses of hearing, smell, and other things of the sort.

•Marathoner || A given Hellhound takes after the wolf's stamina, and thus gains +2 Stamina, as a result.

•Hellfire || Because of their roots and origins as gatekeepers of Hell, most Hellhounds are often capable of summoning and manipulating Hellfire.

•Lunar Essence || While within the presence of moonlight, a Hellhound's pyromantic capabilities are augmented- though only so long as they receive direct contact with said moonlight.

•Lunar Blessing || The gods of the past have bestowed an extra degree of strength upon these beings in with the intention of aiding them in their ventures to protect the gates of the underworld. Characters gain +1 Strength.

•Telepathy || For sake of allowing easy communication - particularly within their lupine forms - Hellhounds are enabled the ability of telepathy. They can plant thoughts and parts of conversations within the surface minds of others; regardless of the form that they maintain at a given time.



Flaws:

•Feral Instincts || Characters will likely host more feral tendencies; be it something as small to growling in response to a threat out of instinct, or perhaps even giving into hunter or seasonal influences that other animals of the sort would likely experience. Depending upon the person, these instincts may be harder to resist.

•Glare || Should a Hellhound allow their negativity and anger to bleed through, their eyes would easily reflect as such. In addition to gaining somewhat of an enhanced, visual glow about their irises - within their own, natural eye color, of course - their glare could potentially instill feelings of fear and intimidation within those around them. Depending on the given Hellhound - as well as the mental fortitude of those who happen to see their eyes while in this state - this glare may be weaker or stronger.

•Lunar Insanity || The drawback of gaining enhanced senses within direct moonlight is that - in the event that too much exposure to it is unable to be avoided - a given Hellhound may begin to grow rampant. With time, those of this species could counter this easily than others with enough time and personal dedication and discipline, but for many, the lunar essence in itself paves the way to assuming the behavior of Hellhounds of legend. Users will run the risk of temporarily losing their state of mind - with the time scaling with how much time they had spent in the open moonlight beforehand - and rampaging around within a fury. Most will take their lupine form over humanoid in this state, and often require a forceful means of apprehension if they don't tire themselves out before that time comes- but the time in between could prove to be rather dangerous to others around them as a result of their brief, berserker-like craze.
