Others, The – Creations of the Unnamed. The Angels and Daemos have forgotten the Goddess because of God’s influence, but they have not forgotten the creatures she created to destroy God’s precious humans. These Others include Were creatures, Fey, Dragons, etc. It was to defend humans against them that the Powers, the first of the Choirs was ever created. The Others serve a goddess that the angels consider a myth. The others were not Gods creations so he couldn’t wipe their memories of the Goddess like he could the angels and demons. The others remember and many still serve her.
The first were-creature was a shape-shifting elemental/spirit who was basically very horny and had sex with everything. The offspring became the were-creatures. So you have were-almost everything. Some of the lines like were-chickens didn’t survive for obvious evolutionary reasons and only a few branches of were-creatures still exist to this day. So there are were-drakes which are were-dragons and drake/drakes which are full dragons who can’t shift. Were-creatures in this universe can shift at will which is physically very draining and requires copious amounts of food and rest afterwards. During the full moon however the shift is involuntary and they become their animal selves for three days. All were creatures – werewolves included – can shift at will during the normal month, but the full moon is an involuntary shift to animal state for three days in honor of the Unnamed Goddess who they serve.
