Therianthropes encompass all phenotypes of werecreatures, with the two most common being werewolves and werecats/felines.
They recognize the animal within, and live with it daily.
There are three main types of wereism; physical, mental and spiritual.
Physical weres are people who can shapechange physically either naturally by ability or genetics, or who have learned how to shapechange through magickal ability.
Mental weres can be people with a separate were personality, an integrated were personality and those wishing they could be an animal. The latter is usually associated with Furrys and not true wereism.
Spiritual weres are animals born into a human body, totemists or those who shift from their were personality to human at random until they gain control of their abilities.
The Werecards provide basic information about a pack member such as name, location, age, and various interests. The most important section however, is "Personal Therianthropy". http://www.swampfox.demon.co.uk/utlah/index2.html
