No matter what flavor of animal you changed into, a lycanthrope was a lycanthrope. Blue Moon

Second only to the Lukoi the wererats comprise the largest group of lycanthropes in St. Louis The ones most prominent in the series are Raphael, Louis Fane & Doctor Lillian.
Stewart Shining Rafael
The Wererat King
 

"I am your king, and you will obey me or I will kill you."
"We are not merely rats but men, and we have a choice.
I have a choice."
"He was tall, at least 6 feet, dark brown skin, with thick,short -cut black hair brown eyes. His face was thin, arrogant, lips almost too soft fro the haughty expression he gave me. He was darkly handsome, strongly Mexican and his suspicion rode the air like lightning.His voice was soft but deep , without a trace of an accent."

As wererat Rafael has absolute jet black fur and in both forms there is a burn scar on his left forearm in the shape of a crude 4 pointed crown. Comfortable or at least accepting of his lycanthropy he does not even attempt to curtail his preturnatual aura and pretend to be human. He has strong ethics and loyalty and unhesitatingly supports those he considers 'friends' or allies- including Richard against Marcus and Anita several times. Both Nickolaos and the Master of Beasts unsuccessfully try to break him to submit to their will- the latter torturing him by flaying. Divorced with a son he rarely sees he is a victum of human prejudice against his kind. Rafael is an enigmatic, strong character never explored enough to suit my fantasies.

Rafael stood. Thegesture stopped th e argument. There was something about the way he stood there in his ordinary street clothes that made you stare at him as if he were wearing a crown. His prescence was more commanding than that of a ton of black leather. TLC
 
Though I am not absolutely sure who the model is in the color pic he radiates the machismo, power & seductiveness I associate with Rafael . The others is of David Boals -ditto the description.

Louis Fane
?

 
The wereleopards originally were controlled by sadistic & perverse alpha Gabriel. When he is killed by Anita (who else?) they are left without a true leader until Anita-though not lycanthrope becomes their Nimir-ra and protects them from continued abuse & degredation.

Micah
Nimir- Raj of wereleopard pard.
Introduced in Narcissus with Chains Micah's primary claims to fame appear to be unnaturally well endowed, neutered and able to appease Anita's every whim....otherwise he tried to kill Jean-Claude and is just another thorn in RAZ's paw....

As soon as I can think of something positive to say about Micah I will change this. Don't hold your breath.

In the Anitaverse I've seen Marcus Schenkenberg portraying everyone from Richard to Gabriel to J-C. He is a too tall, too masculine & too athletic to be Micah. But there is such a big cat presence about him that it overrides that. Marus is considered to be the first male supermodel in the world. He admits that his bare butt is his greatest asset and while it maybe that ass-et that got him to the top of his profession, I certainly won't complain.

 

Gregory (Stephen's twin)
Wereleopard.

.......working on it.................

Ok, Its Travis Fimmel again but since he's Stephen's twin how could I use someone else? Like Gregory, he projects sensuality & self assuredness in this photo.

Someone explain how one was a wolf & the other a leopard... I never did understand that.
Nathaniel? Nathaniel is refered to as a 'pet' by the S&M crowd Gabriel pimped him out to- totally submissive & unable to care for himself. He gives himself wholly to his Nimir-ra and becoming her pomme de sang when she is cursed with J-C's arduer. His charcater is one I vacillate on- alternately pitying him, liking him or wanting to transplant a spine into him.
