Werebears
General Overview
A long time ago around 344 BCE a native tribe worshipped the bear spirit. An extreme ice age befell the area wiping out most of the natives in that area. Yet still they prayed. Food, shelter and clothing became scarce fast. Yet still they preyed. Regardless of the hardships the people were strong and believed with all their hearts of their faith. One stormy blizzard night the remaining few families curled together for warmth when the crunching sound of a large beast in the snow alerted several others. Before their eyes stood a bear larger than a grizzly with silver eyes with no weapons or energy to fight they simply bowed their heads thinking the worst. One of the old wise women spoke up before any others praising the beast and soon the others fell in line praying once more. For their strength and endurance the bear that was not a bear at all blessed them with magic from the source itself. Soon the first Werebear tribe was born.
Werebears can be any size, race, or sex. Werebear males tend to be burlier whereas females are smaller in stance. Regardless of stature Werebears tend to carry more muscle. They are close pack wise but not as close as wolf packs.

Packs
- The Blue Spirit Pack. The Blue Spirit Pack was the first pack of Werebears that arrived in NOLA. In history, the Blue Spirit Pack would work closely with the werewolf pack The Garcia Pack. It was considered a friendly relationship. They own a popular Bar and Grill in NOLA that serves the best gumbo and cuisine. The lower level is where their family and pack members live. Alpha Male & Female are Cedric & Laura Alistair.
- The Silver Ash Pack. The Silver Ash Pack is a group of misfit werebears who formed together in 1890. The pack travelled different parts of the world before making their home in NOLA in 1985. When they arrived they started to cause a rift between the other werebear pack and the two werewolf packs in NOLA. Their main trouble is with The Garcia wolf pack. The two would often bump heads while in the city. Both packs tend to be hot headed so conflict among them is normal. Alpha Male & Female are Axel and Hanna Marks.
