Hybrid

Hybrids are the offspring of a human and a werewolf. The offspring of a werewolf is far more likely (85%) to be a hybrid than a werewolf. An offspring of a hybrid, however, can be either human or hybrid. In this case, the human characteristics are more common (70%). The vast majority of hybrids adapt to society as a whole, and lives as normal humans.

Hybrids appear to be standard humans, and for all intents they are. As such, the standard danger classification system for humans is used. However, most hybrids have moderate to severe behavioral issues, most commonly aggression and anger. Hyperactivity and ADHD are common in hybrid children.

Many hybrids join sports teams as adolescents, which is encouraged by therapists and others who deal with hybrids. Sports allow the hybrid to act on their aggressions in a safe, controlled environment. Although there are no real differences between normal teens and hybrids, many parents feel that the hybrids have an unfair advantage because they tend to be stronger than others. This is not due to genetics; it is simply due to extra training that many hybrids utilize in order to keep their “inner wolf” in check.

Because of their activities in sports as teenagers, and the amount of training that they put into such, many professional sports teams boast at least one or two hybrids in their ranks. Favored among the more aggressive hybrids are hockey and football, although basketball comes in a close third.

Most hybrids are not good fits within the military; they are far too aggressive and have difficulty following orders from their superiors. Some do excel in the ranks, however, and many Special Forces fight over who gets the hybrid rookie. Despite this, it is understood that there will be issues regarding a hybrid in the ranks, and early discharge due to “natural forces” is a fairly common occurrence.

Subcontracted government specialist groups house much of the remaining hybrid population. Where a werewolf cannot be hired to fight against werewolves, hybrids fall in between human and werewolf, and so are allowed to work in either direction.
