Changling

TKG 7/5, and throughout all books

Official name for 3rd form of Weres, usually wolves. Half man, half wolf. Bears can change, too. Cats ??

EXTREMELY aggressive, enraged when in form. Dangerous, as gets a high on the power displayed. Can speak, with difficulty. Taller, stronger. Easy to forget to change back. Needs support person to remind changliing to come back to human form. Boris kept self sane, even though changed form, for more than 150 years. (See below)

TSDA 01/12; IBC 00/8

A Pricolici’s power often had to do with how angry it was.

I feel like a volcano that’s ready to blow. Does that ever go away?” Char leaned forward.“It gets easier to control over time. You change form when you want to, not when the Werewolf takes charge. You can never let the Were run free. The more you do, the easier it will be to lose yourself. If that happens, the animal has taken over and you’ll never be able to change back into human form. If that happens, you’ll be hunted down and killed because you’ll be a threat to humanity. Change on your terms and never, ever let the beast run free.” These were Pricolici that were formed when unenhanced humans went into the pod-docs for upgraded chips and nanocytes. A recessive trait, which emerged, changing them to weres, who could a;so change to Priciolici. Four humans who were changed into Pricolici in IBC were Nick Rixon, Tyson Kurtz, Samantha Matthews, Edwin Garcia

BC01 Evacuation/03 To manage Procilici rage/madness: The simplest means: “One year in five, stay out of the Pricolici form and you won’t lose yourself to it.” Ask yourself, ‘Do I need this, or would wolf or man be as useful?’ The less you use it, the safer you’ll be. And if you find yourself behaving more aggressively than normal as a man, DON’T change. You are near the madness then.” The second way? I found a way to change into the form without rage. With calmness, like a summer pond without a breeze in the air. When you reach a particular state, you will be able to reach for the form. But I cannot guarantee you will find the same path. It is something that has to be found, and can be corrupted if you find rage once changed. Until you are sure, stay as human or wolf for one year in three. If you do not… you will eventually succumb to eternal rage.”
