HUMAN FORM

The human form, to the average viewer, looks just like a regular human, for the most part. However, there are certain things that make the Kierrn stand out to a trained eye. The Kierrn human form is beautiful in an indescribably way (even if he/she is not supermodel material). It is something more primal, more basic than any looks or charm. The Kierrn's eyes are steady and intent, they have a way of standing, of acting, of walking and simply being that is wholy distinct and usually alluring to the opposite (or even same) sex. The Kierrn is lean and physically fit, though usually not musclebound. Kierrn can appear to be of any ethnicity. Their eyes are light in color, and usually rimmed with black lashes (regardless of hair color) that cause them to have wolfish looking eyes. The eyes are also light reflective, and this feature is a dead giveaway to hunters. The hair is thick and usually the same color as their pelt in their true and Wolfen forms. Their bodies are covered in a light, almost invisible down of fur so fine it nearly blends in with the skin. This fur is thickest between the shoulder blades, along the spine, and along the jawline (though jaw fur is usually the thinnest and finest among the females). The canines in the human form are pronounced, but are not so long as to be fangs. Fingernails are also thick and can be pointed. In the human form, the Kierrn is still very strong and fast, able to run at around 50 MPH, leap about 40 Feet, and bench about 500 lbs.

BEAST FORM

This is the Kierrn's most true form, the killing form. Incredibly strong and fast, this hulking, musclebound form has the hardened body of a weight lifter, the head of a wolf, and stands on two digitigrade legs with the aid of a tail. Razor claws tip the True Form's hands and toes, and the form is covered by a luxurious pelt of wolf fur which is usually black but can come in a whole variety of natural colors. The jaws feature large, sabre-like teeth that hang down below the bottom lip. The brain case is also much larger than that of normal wolves. The True Form is around 8 ft tall in males, and 7 ft in females, though there have been Kierrn that topped out around 9 feet. The average weight for females is around 450 lbs, and the males weight in at around 500 lbs. This form can leap nearly 50 feet in one bound and run at speeds up to 60 MPH, and can bench around 1000 lbs. This form can take a bipedal or quadrapedal stance, has lightning fast reflexes, and is incredibly agile for it's size. An altogether gracefull and deadly form.

WOLFEN FORM

This, like the human form, basicly looks like a rather large timber wolf, but only to those who cannot see past the Kierrn's deception. In reality, this form is the size of a large cat and has several traits that mark the Kierrn for what he is. While normal wolves have a large, compact paw that is thumbless (with a useless digit called a "dew claw" instead), the Kierrn have a digit resembling a thumb that they can use to grip objects with. The Kierrn also have distinct forelegs that are denser in muscle, much like those of a large cat. The sabre-teeth of the Kierrn are also present in this form, and highly visible. Normal wolves will not associate with Kierrn, even if they are in their Wolfen form.

SPECIALIZATION

The Kierrn are a species created especially to kill, and because of this they have weapons that are specific for the task. The Kierrn's jaw is extremely powerfull, made for rending flesh quickly and easily, and for crushing bone. They have more canine (stabbing) teeth than a normal canine, and these teeth are long, extremely sharp, and their main "fangs" are serrated on the curved edge to cut through even tough meat quickly and easily. These are their killing teeth, and one bite from the jaws can sever a limb, or take off a head.

A Kierrn's claws are equally lethal, especially those on their hands/forepaws. These claws are razor sharp, like a cat's claws, and are thick and tough, able to punch through and rend aluminum. The claws are also curved like talons to give them an iron grip on their prey. The arms behind these claws are immensely powerfull, as are the hands themselves. To be in the grip of a Kierrn is to be in the grip of death, for it is impossible for a human to escape.

The hind claws of a Kierrn are also lethal. Not nearly as sharp as the hand/foreleg claws, these claws still are used to grip when running or standing, and are lethal when used in a kick.
