just curios what you guys thought of, of the were breed.
Like if a rat were and a leopard were were to have a child, would it be the combination of the species, or would be be born either as a rat or a leopard were?
If the child of that combination was to be born, would it still be concidered a normal were, or would be like a seprate species since it's not just ONE animal.
yeah wondering you guys take on this thought XD

Genetically, it would never happen, but...however three cases...it would be either
Rat were (turns into rat) Leopard were (turns into leopard) Leorat were (lmao turns into a spotted rat or a mousy leopard)
However, I'm going to switch into biologist mode. The male defines gender so I assume that it would be whatever the male was unless the female had more dominant genes. If the male was a rat and the female was a leopard, they would have the chance of two daughters being mixed and two sons being leopards. If it were the other way around, it would still be mixed daughters but the sons would be rats.
It all depends on genes. If the female gene only had one leopard were gene for some reason and the male had the rat were gene, then they would have one mixed daughter, a rat daughter, a leopard son, and a human son.
My apologies if this is confusing.

No it's not XD The whole topic is confuseing actually. In books and such it usually comes out that were's of the same type reproduce.... so I never actually thought this topic out for CC till just the other day. Then I was like damn ..... how in the world would that work? XD Geniticly I know normal cross species like that wouldn't work, and it's more of a virus then a genetic code thing..... and yeah hell I confused myself XD Especially since I'm working on were history and such o.o;; XD Like if a mix of species would even be possible at all, or if the kids would be pure of one thing or the other or if it would just be a mule mateing meaning the two couldn't reproduce at all ..... I think up the weirdest shit but it would be a question that would arise eventually X3.

How is the disease spread in Cheshire? Is it through bodily fluids like other diseases and if so could it be passed on by something as small as a scratch from a were? I just wonder becuase if it was that way the weres would either have to avoid hand to hand combat or outright kill anything they fight so as to not turn the other person into a were. Oh and can something like a fae be bitten by a were and become one or is it just a human disease?

Sorry for causing this amount of hassle, everyone XD
In books and films regarding being bitten, there always seems to be some kind of poetic license involved. Like, at the key moment the hero can get bitten and then becomes a were as part of the plot, but then in other circumstances weres are running around fighting and biting people all over the place, without those people seemingly being infected.
I suppose when it gets down to it the main concern is an interesting narrative, despite the scientific impossibilities. That said, pseudo-science always has more weight than the "it's just magic" reasoning, I feel.

It's no problem Milo this would arise in one form or another XD I want to make sure to get it down pat before I run into a problem later on. XD I looked at this site www.zerotime.com/night/curse.htmMere scratches would be too simple I think, cause the disease is not a over abundant epidemic. MOST of the society of the city is human, with a smaller fraction being of paranormal type. I'm thinking to go along with the thought of bodily fluids. Like how aids is transmitted more or less. Like blood, sexual contact, salavia and so forth. Maybe in human shape though the virus isn't active so it's highly unlikely another would be infected while in human shape. Though in the half form the Virus is highly active and running rampet so it is more likely to get the infection through blood transfer and such. Like if you had open wounds and the lycans blood got into it and so forth, bites ect. I don't know about the natural beast shape. If it would be less active since the shift is complete or if it would still be highly active like in the half form. I think with the other species it's not going to be as bad as the humans get it. They might not change really but be in pain or something during the full moon since most paranormal species have long lives. I would think there immune system would be better able to fight it off. Though I think in modern times there is a cure but ONLY if it is given in the first 24 hours of the infection before the first forced shift occurs. Once the first shift happens the infected ones fate is sealed since the virus is now bonded to it's host. The virus I think was a medium in the very first weres to bond animal and human together to revive those that had died in the first human battle. Though from the moment of regeneration, it became a actual virus and not just a medium anymore. This spell can be reproduced still even to today but it's a highly rare thing to find. I think there is only maybe two or three documents out there with it in it. One being one of Lucifers old spell books which the coven hides away, a scroll that is locked up probally in one of the church's and the third I'll just say is out there to find :3 It takes alot of rare items too to complete. I'll talk to a few others and then annouce what Ideas I come up for the children of mixed heritage. Though one thing I know. If it's human, the human that consumated with the were will most likely be infected, especially if they didn't use protection. All other paranormal creatures I think wouldn't be affected really since they have a stronger immune system, and have access to cures and other magical herbs that would help them become totally immuned to the virus. Only one with a weakened immune system would have a side effect to the were virus. Especially if one decided to take on a were mate, they would probally make a vaccine out of there lovers/friend/whatever blood to take to help there antibodies fight the virus. Though this vaccine would probally kill a normal human so thus there is only one cure for a human, and it must be taken within 24 hours. Also changelings are not affected by the were virus at all. They are in fact were's mutated into a species since the virus became them and was basically not a virus anymore... but yeah a species... o.o if that made any sense. X3 So a were and a changeling could fight and not infect each other. The fact that Changelings are related to were's is not common knowledge and only the most ancients or the most learned people would know this tid bit of information. Hence why no one has studied the changeling species more or at least not of yet. Plus it don't help that most changelings are not evolved enough to speak the human language and act like a normal person. 95% of the species is dumb, violent and way WAY insane. Only five percent of changelings out there actually can revert to a intelligent being, or even a human shape for that matter like the few on here. Cheshire City actually has a small tribe of intelligent changelings but you won't hear much of them for a long time. The leader will be used in a later plot idea XP But yeah off topic >.>;; anyway! any other thoughts or ideas you guys want to add in? I need to know what others think so I can make this rp better XP So don't be afraid to say something cause you think it might hurt my feelings or anything. Just tell me what you think of it all :3

Re The only thing I would add is that I think the were virus would probably be as active, if not more so in the animal form. Seeing as that's the main form the virus forces people to take and they seem to like spreading. Also I just figure it makes full moons all the more troublesome.
On the subject of mixed were children, and this is just off the top of y head, it could be possible that at a young age the were is affected by both sets of the virus so could feasibly shift into two forms, until one form destroys the other bringing it to a normal one type were. Just thought I'd put that out there. Of course said virus dominance would happen at a really young age unless someone interfered with magic I guess.

Theres a interesting thought. So it could either be a rat or a leopard in the abouve case till one animal dominated. >D Makes for some interesting rp's then.
And yeah, that makes good sense Varian. Whoo XP I need to finish the were history info thing soon
