Lightning Moon: Survivor of the Month

By 41 Comments

It’s a well-known fact more new werewolves will experience their first transformation under it than any other month of the year. Very appropriate considering it’s the Dog Days first brought the new Survivor of the Month. See if you can guess who it is:

CLUES:

1. This survivor’s improvised weapon of choice is a frying pan.

2. This survivor started wearing a little silver bracelet to prevent uncontrolled transformations.

3. This survivor blew the lid off anti-lycanthropic orthodontics and created an anti-braces movement here on the site.

If you haven’t guessed it by now it’s…

HOWLIN’ WITH WEREWOLF GIRL AKA: SCAR

How appropriate that Werewolfgirl AKA: Scar (her WW name) would be Survivor of the Month for the Dog Days Moon since it’s during the Dog Days that she made her first appearance on the site.

At the time WWgirl suspected that she might be a genetic WW but she had not experienced her first transformation yet.  She had many signs of lycanthropy. She couldn’t sleep at night, she experienced free-floating fits of were-rage and worst of all, she had recently discovered that she loved to howl at the moon – in human form.

Needless to say, WWgirl was pretty worried that one of her neighbors was going to alert the police. Or worse, the Paranormal Police. Or worse yet, Area 51. Or worse, worse than that, upload an embarrassing youtube video.

It was a bit of a mystery to the other WWs on the site though because we did try to reassure her that it was normal to howl at the moon in human form, but in truth, most WWs only howl in WW form. As we tried to figure it out, she wondered if her parents had ordered anti-lycanthropic orthodontics to prevent her transformation. That her braces contained a silver coating that was enough to restrain her transformation.

Many WWs on the site became concerned and looked into the situation, leading to the astonishing news that yes, in fact some unscrupulous orthos were in collusion with anti-lycan forces to try to prevent young WWs from transforming. Their theory, and we still don’t know if it’s true, is that by preventing a WW’s first transformation long enough, the lycanthropy genes will go dormant in adulthood.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, for WWgirl it didn’t work. The pull of the Dog Star overcame the pull of the silver in her braces and she experienced her first transformation around this time one year ago, and the WWgirl became Scar.

For a while Scar could only type with her claws on the site and as a result her messages became mainly pictograms like the one below.

(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

Whenever I get a call about a WW sighting I keep my eyes open for markings like these, so I will know if it was Scar. (Although I still won’t know what it means. I need a werewolf translator…)

There have been several (unconfirmed) reports of her distinctive claw marks on fences and trees and even in one human’s face – but they are only unconfirmed rumors.

Anyway after a while Scar got the hang of controlling her transformations using a silver bracelet and she stops by the site regularly. She has a soft spot for humans who dream of becoming werewolves. Werewolfgirl will never bite the uninitiated, but she researches and shares alternative ways to acquire lycanthropy.  Like this information about a baptismal ritual said to induce lycanthropy in otherwise average humans. She also checks in regularly to see if there’s anything she can do to help out, which I really appreciate and so do many other survivors.

An Interview with WWgirl AKA Scar:

**Please note, WWgirl Scar is not the most talkative interview subject. Her answers are a little evasive and they raise many more questions that you might like to ask her.  

1.  Which family member is the source of your lycanthropy? How long has lycanthropy been in your family?

I think my Dad. 

2. How do you use the silver bracelet to control your transformations? (If you still do.)

I lost the bracelet, sadly.

3. Do you still hide your lycanthropy from your family and friends?

Not really, I haven’t  transformed yet , so no need. ***

What the…?  Can she be believed? Is WWgirl covering her tracks?  Especially considering her answer to the next question…

4. Can you tell us anything about a mission you are on or have been on lately?

I haven’t done much, except maybe almost kill some mean people.

5. If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one other supernatural being who would it be and why?

um…I’m not sure. Maybe you, if you count…

See how she turned the interview around on me? Clever WWgirl very clever.

Thanks for keeping on. Any info we can gather to clarify this interview, I hope you will post it below.

Get Your Loaf Ready For Magic. It’s Lammas Eve!

By 7 Comments

Tomorrow is August 1st. In many jurisdictions around the world it is a holiday but many forget the reason for this holiday. (Hint – It is not just an excuse to go camping at the lake.

Lammas Loaf marked with ancient witch symbol for yummy.

No instead Lammas, as the day is known by those who still remember (read immortal or exceptionally aka supernaturally long-lived), is a celebration of the first fruits of the harvest. Now they don’t mean fruits literally in this case, more as in results, anyways the point is that is you get yourself a couple of nice loaves of bread and take them down to your local witch or coven of witches and give them one loaf to eat they will enchant the other loaf and give it back to you.

No kidding! Your very own loaf of magic bread! How awesome is that? Very. That’s how awesome.

Now you may ask, “Seth, what good exactly is a magic loaf of bread?”

To which I would reply, “Well I am not 100% sure but I bet that maybe Bebe or MrJaffa could tell us. All I know is that magic bread has to be about 1o times more awesome than regular bread and probably at least half as fattening.”

Post in the comments below if you have any stories of celebrating Lammas or have magic loaf stories or pics to share.

I’ll be back with some more stuff tomorrow including early clues for the Survivor of the Month and maybe even the SOS Survival Hall of Fame…

And something else…

Survivor Of The Month – Ghost Moon 2012

By 29 Comments

In honour of the Survivor of the Month for the Ghost Moon of 2012, Jaffa cakes for EVERYONE!**

**Sorry! Graham ate them all when I wasn’t looking.

Don’t know what a Jaffa cake is? Well then, you’d better have a conversation with the newest Survivor of the Month: mrjaffa!

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/vampires/comment-page-16#comment-74496

You may also know him as poisonjaffa and burningjaffa.

mrjaffa first came to the site seeking advice on Vampirism, wondering if it was possible to become a vampire without the painful bitey process.

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/vampires/comment-page-16#comment-69385

After considering the downfalls of being stuck at aged 13 forever, mrjaffa turned his attention to several skills that run in his family, including psychic abilities and spell casting and revealed himself as a male witch.

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/vampires/comment-page-16#comment-74225

When his thoughts aren’t poison, mrjaffa is the kind of Survivor who helps others get along. He once said “I think that vampires and werewolves could live peacefully, but allies might be a bit of a stretch.”

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/werewolves/comment-page-54#comment-70266

Wise words indeed mrjaffa. However when Mr. Jaffa is in poison form, watch out! You could find yourself on his contract list.

Although to be fair, Jaffa really saves his worst poison for battles with the Mantis Men. What’s a Mantis Man you ask? Well if you don’t know, then you have Mr. Jaffa to thank for it.

Mr. Jaffa has since evolved into a three-part hybrid of Witch/Demigod/Vamp. A very powerful combo.

One of the things mrjaffa is best known for is a great remedy. He suggests Blood Oranges for a veggie vamp fix, and he once helped Scarly cure a nasty Were-cold that was threatening to blow her cover.

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/werewolves/comment-page-67#comment-93827

An avid reader, mrjaffa is smart and earns awards in school. He is a great gamer, and has been known to play a little D&D once in a full moon. Also, if you ever need a dragon, mrjaffa is your man, though you may end up with a surprise when an ICE dragon is summoned to your door.

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/vampires/comment-page-16#comment-76851

mrjaffa has heroically helped out many survivors on the sight, including ARC, Alex, Mr. Mutt and many others. Fighting Zanthre (when necessary), defending Bebe, and providing protection spells when Scarly found herself afraid. mrjaffa is a Chi master. He can teach you how to balance your energies, and wields the Book of Shadows carefully and with great wisdom – just don’t ever use a Ouija board in his presence, as he is firmly anti-Oiuj.

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/werewolves/comment-page-75#comment-109807

His skill with magics, energies and poetry, not to mention his brave relocation to the Amazon from his Aussie home makes mrjaffa a seasoned survivor.

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/lutin/comment-page-1#comment-147847

All this and his commitment to providing biased free advice with a friendly flare have brought mrjaffa to a high level of respect on the SOS site, and we are very proud to offer him the title of Survivor of the Month.

http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/werewolves/comment-page-62#comment-84458

Join us in raising a Jaffa cake in his honor. To mrjaffa, who keeps keeping on! Congratulations on being Survivor Of the Month.

** No actual Jaffa cakes are actually available. I had two boxes to give out but Graham ate them while I was researching this post. Sorry.

Agharna Phellan: Survivor of the Month

By 213 Comments

Well Graham and I finally finished counting and allotting “points” for helpful comment and rolled the dice – er, shook the phone – to reveal the Dyan Moon Survivor of the Month. Recognize this Survivor?

Fast Facts About Agharna Phellan

—> This survivor once posted a valuable and poetic lesson for werewolves about the importance of post-transformation oral hygiene.

—> Once found two A-51 agent suits and probably still has them.

—> USED TO HAVE A VERY GUILTY CONSCIENCE ABOUT A FEW THINGS …

—> In addition to A-51 this survivor has run ins with Dr. Crane and Van Helsing and his Monster Hunters.

—> He may have been raised by werewolves, but he doesn’t exactly like them!

—> What wears a dark suit, is completely evil, and is about to eat your souls? It’s:

Agharna Phellan: Shadowy Elemental Man of Mystery*

*Disclaimer: Please be advised that SOS does not endorse or embrace or otherwise celebrate all or even many of the actions and certainly not the legal advice of this survivor. But he won. So without further disclaimers…

*Disclaimer:  In fact, we did not count ANY of the posts in which AP directly or indirectly contributed to the non-survival of another. But despite this ample number of discarded posts, he did win. Luck’s like that some times. So without further disclaimer…

*Disclaimer: JOKE…no more disclaimers! Agharna Phellan is a valued contributer to survival, yours and mine. So without further disclaimer…

“JUST GET ME ANOTHER BLOODTINI.”

Agharna Phellan. His name means “moon” in Sanskrit but that’s not his werewolf name. His WW name is actually Cahin Loup.

So you might wonder, how does a soul-sucking, bass-playing draconian shadow elemental vampire end up with a werewolf name?

Good question. Because Agharna Phellan was raised by werewolves, that’s why.

In fact, he was trained to be a werewolf leader. We don’t know much about his family or why he was expected to lead the pack. He doesn’t talk about his WW family very much. Maybe because one day during a training exercise, 3 werelings under his care were killed during a giant demon wolf attack.

Did something happen to Agharna Phellan that day? We don’t know. Maybe AP himself doesn’t even remember. All we know is, following this incident, AP was being shunned by his village. Worse, they informed AP that he was no longer a werewolf.

As you might expect, being kicked out of your village, your family and even your species is very traumatic. I imagine it would feel like a human being demoted to a monkey. Something like that. Anyway, the point here is, if you wonder why AP has such a complicated relationship with werewolves, look no further than this incident.

Only one thing good came from the shunning. AP discovered his elemental powers. His burning shame. Well, it could really burn. In fact it burned his village to the ground. He couldn’t stop it until he broke a dam and stood under the water.

The water crashing down on him, put out the flames but the fire still smolders and flares up from time to time.

And in its absence he discovered darker elemental powers left by the demon wolf attack.  That’s right. Dark lawyering powers. I won’t describe the rest, but you can read about them here. Just hang onto your soul.

Apart from the occasional soul-sucking episode, Agharna Phellan’s a great contributer to survival. A loyal defender and eloquent communicator who plays in a band called the  Killosaurus Tonberries and riddles up the pages with advice, comments and poems.

So if you see Agharna Phellan don’t be afraid to say “HI!”*

*Unless you’re a werewolf. Or your soul isn’t properly secured. Or you’re highly flammable or…

Survivor of the Month: Wolf Princess

By

Here’s the first clue to the Survivor of the Month for the Dragon Moon, 2012:

Do you recognize this Survivor of the Month?

1. Είμαι με κανένα τρόπο αυτοκτονίας, αλλά να κάνω έντονα την επιθυμία να είναι με την αγάπη μου και πάλι.

2. Is a vegetarian who loves meat ice cream.

3. Has braces in human form but transforms regularly with no additional pain or difficulty

4. A rare, 100% werewolf turned white demon wolf with red eyes:

By now you’ve probably guessed, this Survivor of the Month is Wolf Princess!

The Harrowing Tale (And Red Eyes & White Fur & Braces) Of a Wolf Princess:

Wolf Princess is a rare, 100% werewolf of suspected genetic origin. She first came here with a simple question, should I join a pack? Or remain a lone wolf?

Wolf Princess revealed that she had been spending her moons alone in the yard. For safety, she instructed her sister to lock her out of the house. Then she roamed the neighborhood trying to avoid contact with others, particularly humans with cameras. But it wasn’t working. Somebody eventually snapped a photo. She found it on the Internet and the other survivors had to talk her out of taking revenge on the photographer.

Shortly after this, Wolf Princess built her own secret crib so she could avoid these situations.

Unfortunately, before she could even use this new crib for the first time, there was a rash of A-51 attacks on the site that caught a lot of survivors, including Wolf Princess. She was caught mid-transformation and collared with a silver collar.

(This attack caused a lot of survivors to question the level of the security of the site and remains to this day the single biggest reason for the no names, no ages, no real locations policy!)

Wolf Princess managed to fight off her attackers but was trapped mid-transformation, half-human, half-wolf. Very embarrassing. Her sister hid her until she could figure out how to get out of the silver collar.

Desperate Wolf Princess tried everything to get it off, right down to the tried-and-true throw-yourself-against-the-wall maneuver.

Nothing worked. Finally another survivor on the site, Goddess of Fate, a demi-god who used to grace us with her presence sometimes, gave Wolf Princess a sword of celestial bronze. Well it worked and Wolf Princess carries it to this day.

Understandably, after this early A-51 encounter, Wolf Princess changed. Her fur went all white as a result of the stress. But there were more changes to come for Wolf Princess.

Needing a holiday after her terrible transformation, she agreed to a dream-cation with the enigmatic Night Wolf, a friendly demon wolf who used to check in sometimes.

Night Wolf and Wolf Princess met in Times Square in their dreams one night – but only one of them returned. And it wasn’t Night Wolf.

In fact, Night Wolf was never heard from again. And we don’t know the full details of what happened that night. Maybe Wolf Princess will never tell us. But that night changed her even further. Now her eyes glowed red and she too was a demon wolf. What really happened that night, Wolf Princess? Will you ever tell?

Either way, the Princess brought back souvenirs for everyone so that was nice. Although you can only claim them in your dreams. (I’m still looking for mine. Last night I looked behind the balloon clown who stole my teeth. He didn’t have it.)

Anyway it turned out to be a good thing, because Wolf Princess needed every power she could muster for the next attack. A pack of creatures surrounded her house one night. They almost killed her and her family and destroyed her home. She thought it was A-51 again but later discovered it was not A-51 at all but it turned out to be a pack of hell hounds sent out by somebody unknown. Did this have anything to do with her new demon powers? We still don’t know.

Lucky thing Bebe’s aunt had a 140 bedroom home that was empty. **HINT: When somebody tells you they have a 140 bedroom home empty? Be very suspicious!  

Wolf Princess brought her family to Bebe’s aunty’s home and it turned out to be a trap. Not one laid by Bebe, but by her annoyingly dangerous warlock brother Spark. Anyway something good came out of this – Time Kitsune saved Wolf Princess’ life and a different spark was ignited between them. Wolf Princess was no longer a lone wolf.

But the partnership of TK and Wolf Princess had many ups and downs. Understandably it was difficult. Kitsune and werewolves do not normally pair up. They seemed to attract danger to each other. Maybe it was the matching collars they wore to track each other at all times, no matter where they were in the universe.

When TK was eventually killed in battle against Zanthre trying to free Wolf Princess who was being used as a weapon against Ice, Wolf Princess was devastated.

After Bebe healed Wolf Princess and told her everything, it broke her heart. Things got very sad around here for a while as Wolf Princess tried everything she could to resurrect TK, every spell she could get her hands on or that Alex could give her. Survivors might remember how a Tear Drinker visited the site several times during this time.

Not even Mr. Jaffa’s fluffy bunny spell could cheer her up. Her demon wolf side began to infect her human side and her eyes glowed red now even in human form. The other kids started to tease her and she had to lock herself into her crib to control herself:

And another thing. Some analysis by Zyboragon revealed evidence of dangerous chemical in her system. Then in her next transformation, Wolf Princess discovered wings. Which I don’t have to tell you makes her dangerously close to the WWs who hunt angels. How did it happen? A healing spell gone wrong? Or back to Night Wolf?

Meanwhile Alex was finally able to ressurect TK in Supreme Fire’s body but only long enough for Wolf Princess to say goodbye. Supreme Fire also gave her TK’s old collar, the one that used to lead them to each other.

Wolf Princess was later relieved to learn then that TK was not dead but dimension-shifted, so although sometimes they can still communicate, they can’t see each other.

Despite this, Wolf Princess has become a great survivor. She dotes on little TK and has lots of good advice for A-51 battle strategy and rage control techniques. She’s a fierce defender of other survivors and well-deserved survivor of the month!

Thanks to Wolf Princess and to everyone here who contributed to survival this month!

SOS Hall of Famer: P5t5r

By 50 Comments

Here are the first clues to our first SOS Hall of Fame inductee, meaning from the last year:

Super Moon Survivors of the Month
Coming Soon: Super Moon Survivors

01010011 01110101 01110010 01110110 01101001 01110110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001101 01101111 01101110 01110100 01101000 00100000 01010000 00110101 01010100 00110101 01010010

2. On first glance he may look like an ordinary human, but once you see him lick his elbow, you’ll be turned onto the fact that he may not be so human after all.

3. He is a dedicated student and occasionally has to take breaks away from the site to make sure that he gets all his schoolwork done to the highest standard.

4. He is very passionate about cyborg-human relations and the rights of a cyborg to be religious, and experience human qualities.

As most of you already guessed that this month’s Survivor of the Month is our very own: P5T5R!!  Congratulations!

A few of our favorite P5T5R moments:

“Cyborgs can be religious. We know someone made the electronic part of us and so it’s easy to believe that someone made the rest too.”

“Can I still haiku?
Or must we not continue
See what I can do.

I’d love to do more
I love to rhyme and haiku
Please let me join you.”

“Now you are one of us and we stick by each other just ask anyone. No one is left behind and someone experienced and knowledgable can always be there for you.”

“A more loyal, dedicated, devoted, kind, courageous, and passionate group than us you probably won’t find.”

P5T5R came to Seth on Survival and tested out the Monstrometer, finding that he was, in fact, a cyborg.  He went on to find out that while he had a layer of human skin, underneath he was a robotic entity.   His ability to lick his elbow was one of the first indicators that he was perhaps a little more than human.

Since that time, P5T5R has been extremely helpful in providing ideas and feedback for Seth about how the site can be more efficient and helpful to new monsters, as well as often offering tips on incidents that may be cyborg related. In fact, this whole survivor profile thing was P5t5r’s idea.

(So did he use his cyborg powers on my Hat App??? That’s a question only he can answer.)

P5t5r has taken up the cause of cyborg rights, and when put to trial, please not-guilty on treating one race better than the other.  (You can follow that trial here: http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/werewolves/comment-page-86#comment-134234 ) And by the way: We support you P5T5R – we know you are passionate about equality.

P5T5R is not a cyborg bent on destroying human kind, and rather spends his time helping, encouraging, and keeping the peace between all of our super-natural beings, and the humans that love them.  The one thing P5T5R hates is being left out, especially when he has so many skills to help.

Though he often sticks closely to his areas of expertise on the Cyborg Page, P5T5R has been known to branch out and visit the other pages, providing insights and responses.

Stop on over at the Cyborg Page sometime, and say:

**01000011 01101111 01101110 01100111 01110010 01100001 01110100 01110101 01101100 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 01110011 00100000 01100110 01110010 01101001 01100101 01101110 01100100

to P5T5R!  And don’t forget to ask his help next time you have a dilemma!

**Translation: Congratulations friend
