determining age

If a Werewolf was turned at the age of 21 approximately 130 years ago, they would be 21 years old in human years and 130 year old in Werewolf years. Whatever age a person is turned, they do not exceed that age regarding appearance or mentality. This is why it is dangerous to turn an adolescent.

 

However, if one is born a Werewolf they age normally and their appearance simply doesn’t change. A Werewolf could be born in 1950 and continue aging gracefully. Although some Werewolves don't appear older than 25, there are many who obtain grey hair and wrinkles. It truly depends on the genes of the Werewolf - the appearances vary.

Many Werewolves - if not all - experience their Upstart Reaction Phase. This phase is the beginning of the transition into a Werewolf or the beginning of a Werewolf's adolescence.

 

The Upstart Reaction Phase occurs when one specific emotional trait is exaggerated greatly in response to increased adrenaline and endorphins. This emphasizes hormones in females or testosterone in males. If someone has angry emotional tendencies, their emotions during the early stages of Werewolvism will be severely more wrathful. If someone has sad emotional tendencies, their emotions during the early stages of Werewolvism will be severely more depressed, and so forth. 

 

Other terms are known as Overstate, Neophyte Reaction Phase, URP.

Many Werewolves acquire a fake ID to blend into the human society. This way they can drive legally, buy alcohol and whatnot.
