    Lycopacts

    Physical appearance:

    Human:
    Normal; however, more seasoned cultists may have Aamon’s sigil present on any location of their bodies. The sigil looks like very fine scarification.

    Lycopact:

    Demon symbiotes:
    Rare lycopacts have distinct favor with Aamon and acquire a symbiotic relationship with a lesser demon henchman. This relationship alters the lycopact’s appearance in specific ways. Eyes might be two different colors. The sigil might reflect a different color than the lycopact’s eyes. Mist or plumes of smoke, even ash, might cling to the lycopact’s form and general space. For those with such elemental airs, it’s not uncommon for natural deposits to be found at the scene even after the lycopact has been gone for some time. Snow and ash are the most common deposits. In extremely rare cases, ectoplasm can be found.

    Fur can be very short to medium length. Fur is typically shorter toward the torso and trunk of the body and longer as it spans down the limbs and back. Uncommon lycopacts sometimes have the opposite. Extremely rare lycopacts have fur of consistent length throughout their bodies.

    The sigil appears to be burning on their palms. Its lines pulse in slow waves and suggest embers are smouldering beneath their skin. Both palms have Aamon’s sigil present. This is the most obvious detail of a lycopact as all of them have it in common.

    During the blood ritual to induct a new cultist and endow them with the form, a feral wolf in good health must be sacrificed. The cultist must have acquired the heart of a dove, dip it into the slain wolf’s blood, and wholly consume it.

    Lycopacts, when human, have constant nightmares during sleep cycles. These nightmares are often erotic in nature and feature prominent panoramic shots of the woodlands, mists, and feral wolves. Most lycopacts experience nocturnal emissions nearly every night.

    The cult is very female-dominated. This exclusion of men is intentional and very few male lycopacts are inducted into existence due to causing extreme internal aggression between females. Female lycopacts have a major tendency to go nuts and become violently competitive when a male is present. In extreme cases where no other alternative exists, a male has been killed in order to preserve the cult itself.

    Eyes have jet black sclera with a single pigmented disk in the center. Most often, these disks are intensely bright in color; however, there have been exceptionally rare cases where the disks are black. The sigils on the palms always pair with the pigment of the disk unless a demon symbiote interferes.


    History:
    The cult itself reaches far back to ancient Greece and the cannibalistic ritual of Lykaia.
