"Most of them turn into wolves. I'm just special that way. It does kinda rock, though honestly, I prefer this form for getting shit done. That hammer over there is a whole lot better at fucking shit up than claws and teeth are. No matter how big the teeth. But yeah, I was born with it. About... dunno, they estimate that maybe one in twenty kids that're born to a werewolf and someone with our blood, but not a shifter, becomes a shifter. the rest are called kinfolk - people who increase the chances of having shifter kids, but can't shift themselves. And... well, obviously we didn't save the Earth... yet anyway, but we were working on it. There's all a big story and stuff to it... but main point is we were made that way to be Gaia's ass-kickers... and then things just got bogged down in politics and everyone wanted to fight the war their way."
