Powers

How They Work

Powers in these wolves are gained through their generations and mutations of different powers. These powers come naturally to the wolf and start being able to be used at will when their bodies are strong enough to handle the power. They do not start to affect those around them until they are at the very least, able to properly run around quickly around the nursery or camp. The way that a wolf can know if they have powers or are powerless, is if they have special marks under their eyes. They are very noticeable and are often an odd color (an example being bright green or blue. They are almost never white, grey or black and are never shades of brown). The number of the small spots does not indicate how powerful the power is, only that the wolf has a power. The number of dots ranges from 2 to 4, but the number does not indicate the strength of the power in any way.

Types of Powers

A wolf can have one power, however that one power can range from extreme strength, sensitive hearing, shape shifting, and even being able to understand the plants or wind. However, with each extreme or powerful power, comes a drawback. For example, if a wolf were to have shape shifting, they can only be in that shift for 20 minutes before being completely drained of energy and passing out from exhaustion (turning back to a wolf afterwards). This can cause for them to become careful when using this power and use it less often as it drains their energy. However, they cannot have powers so powerful that they destroy an animal in one hit (This breaks the realm of possibility and can cause for the rp user to get strikes, or even a ban.).

Energy Based - Powers based on some kind of great energy, which can often be destructive in nature.
>Fire - The burning flames all know and the most destructive of the 2 forces. Often main sources come from volcanoes, wild fires, or fire breathing beasts. It is easy to identify and often is removed easiest by strong winds if smaller, or large amounts of water.
>Electricity - Most often known as lightning, but can come in smaller or more invisible forms than the large strikes we're used to. Most electricity can be particularly strong across water, and is likely the more deadly between the two.
Liquid Based - Powers based on some kind of liquid, which are used in a plethora of ways.
>Water - Most known and needed item found on the planet. These powers often can be oriented for both healing and destruction at times, so has a wide range of uses.
>Other Liquids - This includes any liquid oriented power that isn't water or that can't be considered a hybrid of some kind. This can include poison and acid, along with many other liquids similar to such things.
Ground Based - Powers based on the non actively moving living creatures, which mainly focuses on things under the ground or growing from the ground.
>Earth - Confining the powers to the ground, but having a lot of variety due to what can be found there and is considered often one of the most powerful of the categories. However due to it being physically the most damaging, often the consequences are also the most physically damaging.
>Plant - Straightforward but also complex, certainly more variety than expected, but also involves a well known object/living organism found along most of the island. Often enough Plants are involved mostly with healing, but can also become deadly under specific circumstances. 
Sky Based - Powers based on the sky and what it may hold, including the winds and spiritual meaning or spiritual based physicality.
>Air - Easily explained, these have to do with manipulation of the wind, weather, or similar things. Fairly straightforward but also the powers with the weakest in terms of doing damage in combat.
>Spiritual - This mostly includes powers which can be linked psychologically (towards the mind) which often include powers which manipulate using the mind, and other powers which are linked to the dead in some way.
Hybrid - Powers which can be mixed to through breeding, or can appear and be categorized fully in 2  or more different categories. These are much more common than ones in pure categories and can have more than 2 categories mixed together. They are also more common in litters, especially between 2 nonpowered wolves, one non powered and a powered wolf, or 2 different category powered wolves.
Misc/Unknown Based - Powers which don't categorize in any of the previous categories due to difference in how they work/what they do not connecting to any. This can be anything from practically useless powers like glowing faintly, to having the ability of paralyzation.

Aura Powers
Regarding New Powers

Should there be no powers available, or you have a power idea outside of the currently available listed powers, you may contact HeyRei on the matter. Please provide a description for what the power does, and, if new completely, any consequences that can happen, a name for the power, the power level, and what category it would go to. HeyRei will get back to you as soon as she can on the matter, but be prepared with a backup in case the power cannot be used in the current state. We ask that you be open to changes as we may ask for something to be changed. 

Strengths of Powers

The strengths of one’s power depends on their parent’s power strengths. For example, if a wolf’s parents have weak powers, the wolf is more likely to have a weak power as well (this being the same with 2 strong powered wolves, they’ll have strong powered offspring). It’s a bit different however when it comes to two different strengths. If one wolf has a weak power and another has a strong power, their offspring will have a weak power still, but it will be stronger than their weaker parent. This will likely be in the moderate category if there is one listed.

The only exception to these rules is if a non power wolf, has kids with a powered wolf. That wolf’s offspring will always have either weak powers or no powers (and must be rolled accordingly by the Owner/Co-Owner, or a staff member which is meant for the job, with the known number of cubs. This is if you plan to rp with them in this universe in the future). There is a possibility that 2 non powered wolves can have a powered cub, or 2 powered wolves have a non powered cub. It is all up to the rolls.

Exclusive Powers

Some powers are only available to certain species of wolves. Currently there are only 4 species of wolves available and therefore they have specifics on their powers.

The Thaerin Wolf species, aka mountain wolves, normally don't acquire powers. However when they do its often strength or powerful element based, to aid in their hunting and general survival. Water, Wind and Plant like elements are rather uncommon in this aspect, as hey don't have too much use for them, however in parallel to this, Earth, Fire and Metal are more common within the power range. Due to the powers being rather strong, the consequences are high, so they often don't use their powers all that much.

The Paryllan Wolf species, aka winged/sky wolves, specifically has completely different powers from what were previously mentioned. Paryllan wolves are able to emit auras rather than having physical powers. They constantly emit an aura that affects those in a close radius to them in a small way. They can be anything from a healing aura, to a calming aura. It can affect the emotions and sometimes minimally affect the rate of healing, the concentration within the canine. However, they can only emit one type of aura (an example being a joyful aura) and the wolf is not affected by it.

Over-Exerting Your Power and Consequences

Now, the consequences of over using your powers can range from not being even noticeable, to nearly deadly. The range of the power depends on its strength and overall ability. Some powers do not affect the outside world and only affect the way you act or look (an example being your wolf can glow. That won’t have any consequences). However when the power affects your energy, your health can decrease and some major damage could be caused in the future. An example of this would be a wolf that has earth barrier abilities, is protecting their friends by using a very tall and thick barrier, almost depleting their energy. They would use the rest of that to escape with their life but they could pass out on the way. The wolf would certainly pass out at the entrance, being completely depleted of energy, and would be unable to use their power.

By using so much of that energy, they put a strain on their bodies, which could cause serious damage. That wolf with the barrier would have a weak heart and possibly limbs from either immediately or in the future. Or maybe they had weak lungs and eyes. It still injures the wolf, in a way crippling them but not to the point of being useless. Powers on the list have listed possible consequences, which go from least severe to most in listing for each power.
