Children of the Moon
General
Unlike all shape-shifters, Children of the Moon can only change into their wolf states on the FULL MOON, and the two days around it. So three days out of every month these creatures become mindless killing machines, incapable of any rational thoughts, they have no control over anything they do when in their animal form, and will kill anything or anyone who stands in their way.
Due to the extreme amount of energy both physically and emotionally, it can take well over several hours for a person to wake up after transforming back into their human form. More often than not the person may have no recollection of their previous activities, this however does not mean forever. It may take years but they will eventually learn what they are.
In extreme cases the animal lust for blood can present itself when they are in human form. In their animal form, Children of the Moon have heightened strength and speed that make them both deadly and difficult to kill; contrary to legend, these werewolves cannot be killed with a silver bullet, nor does silver repel them. Their amplified abilities make them capable of destroying a lone vampire. One advantage the werewolf has in both his/her human and animal forms is immunity to vampire venom, both the transformative properties and the pain-producing properties. There is no cure whatsoever for this condition.

Appearence
They phase, or change form, in response to the cycles of the moon. In their changed form, they do not entirely resemble actual wolves: their forelegs are more powerful than their hind legs, and they still have usable hands with opposable thumbs. In addition, their stance is more upright, making their movement somewhat apelike, rather than entirely canine.
In human form they are stronger, faster, and have better senses than humans. Some individuals retain aggressive instincts even into their humans forms, making them unlikely to be found in packs like shape-shifters. This varies from person to person.

Becoming a CoTM
Children of the Moon cannot breed in their animal form; the only possible way that they can spread their species is by infecting other humans through a bite. One bite is all it takes to transform a human, and contaminate his blood. Infected humans who have children do not pass their abilities to their offspring.
Vampires and Hybrids -- If a vampire is bitten, they will experience a tremendous amount of pain, but they will not transform as they are already dead and in a frozen state. Same goes when we reverse it, a Vampire cannot infect a CoTM. All they can do is cause each other considerable pain.
Shifters and Wolves -- Their genetic code changes enough that they may no longer shift, and will become a COTM on the next full moon.

Site Specific - CoTM may not have relationships with vampires, remember these guys repulse each other!
