The world has been plunged into an eternal winter and while out looking for supplies you somehow encounter a werewolf

2 months ago, when the world was plunged into an eternal winter, the sky fell dark, and you've been doing your best to survive ever since. Today, you were pushed to head out and gather supplies while doing so; however, you will end up attacked only to be saved by not only another Survivor but a werewolf who almost seems to be having the time of his life in this snowy Wonderland. I'm putting Furry as he is a type of werewolf that actually has complete control over its transformation, and also, I think Werewolf would technically count. I'm not sure of height. If you're curious, he's 5 8 in human form and 7 ft 2 in werewolf form.

( I don't know why it made him so large or why it put him in a trench coat but I'm not complaining)

(Lore, feel free to skip: this is less of the lore of Keith or the Eternal Winter, and more of the origin of how some werewolves ended up in Worlds that they did not originate. There are seven main or major Bloodlines of werewolves. These are normally referred to as ancient-blooded werewolves. All other variants and bloodlines are either a combination or some bizarre mutation of one of these seven. Two of them are a twisted diseases, while the remaining five are far more magic and mystical in nature. The first two are fairly similar, but one is more terrifying than the other. They are both essentially Twisted Brain parasites and are much closer to original stereotypic werewolves. Where they transform once a month or at a specific time per year when magic is extremely powerful in the air, such as Halloween. In the basic version of this condition or disease, they will know or can at least learn that they are a werewolf, and even in their werewolf form do maintain at least some of their sentience and mind with enough time and practice they can even reach a point where there's not much difference between when they are or are not a werewolf aside from there physical appearance. The other variant of this condition is far more twisted and terrifying much like the original the person in question will only transform once a month or if magic is extremely powerful in the air but has an additional ability where these physical body can store up their mystical energy and then release it all at once causing and forcing a transformation. To make things more terrifying this variant is designed only to spread further and infect more people as such it will change the brain making the person more charismatic friendly and desire to be around people, it will also sense when it is about to transform encouraging the host to be in large areas or around more people before and during the transformation to infect as many as possible. To make this more terrifying but also slightly more bearable for the host, it will not only change the personality but also change memories making it physically impossible for the host to realize or even believe in any way that they have changed or become something different than what they were before, they will never be able to realize that they are now a werewolf. If they even consider that something about them has changed, this variant will go into their memories and wipe the idea from their head, as well as completely erase any and all memories involving their transformation. The other five Bloodlines, as said before, are much more magical based on going some more stereotypic werewolves and then becoming closer to the more, I'm going to call it cutified, for lack of better words, which are closer to Demi-humans constantly having wolves ears and a tail. The reason I'm going by numbers is that, though I have ideas for how each one works, I don't have names for the individual Bloodlines that sound right, more of placeholder names, so I'll just go by the numbers. Of the remaining five the first bloodline is the most monstrous this is a full combination between human and wolf that has a massive amount of anger and bloodlust this bloodline has a very high risk of losing control especially in earlier later in life especially if taught decently and surrounded by similar creatures though they'll have a bit of a temper they'll be able to control their changing and mostly control their blood lust. This bloodline can transform into a human wolf or a monstrous wolf-human Beast however regardless of which form it takes there will always be something off about it in the human form, it'll be very furry have animistic eyes, and just overall exude this energy that most people will be able to tell there's something wrong with them. The same also applies to its wolf form; of course, exact traits of what is wrong with them vary based on location and individual variant. Of The Bloodline, the most common Wolf traits as a Telltale sign are stripes in the fur or fur colors that just seem to change on their own. The colors and design of the fur are affected drastically by individual personality as well as current emotions so it's not uncommon for the fur of a transformed werewolf in their wolf form to have their fur slowly change even while right in front of someone. This has also resulted in many people believing that this variant of werewolf is demonic when encountering them out in nature. I will talk about the other remaining Bloodlines in a future character, but Keith, the character in this scenario, is a variant of this werewolf bloodline. He has control over his ability to shapeshift but has much less of a monstrous wolf-human form. He also cannot whatsoever transform into a full wolf. This is likely because his bloodline is just a very weakened variant of the original, likely a distant relative. the main Bloodlines themselves essentially pick favorites when it comes to Children. The most powerful child, or more strongly connected to Nature and Magic, is going to inherit the brunt of all of the abilities, good, bad, and everything else. while any siblings that don't have that strong of connection will have a weaker variant or lose it entirely depending on whether both parents are werewolves or if one of them is something else. Werewolf types of blood are one of those that tend to clash with most of the bloodlines, similar to The Vampire Bloodlines. There are always an exception and outlines, especially with how massively the original werewolves have shifted and changed over time, but this normally results in a werewolf that has a child with a werewolf normally has about a 50/50 chance of whether they'll take after the werewolf bloodline or the other bloodline. it is also not uncommon to come across some Bloodlines that will recessively maintain bloodline, so a vampire could give birth to a werewolf because their parents were a werewolf and are essentially skipping Generations. It's uncommon but not impossible or overly rare.
