Therian Thirty: Difference between revisions

A ‘black’ project (in the same vein as [[Project Nightbreed]]) that was originally conceived as a part of a Department of Magical Affairs (DOMA) collaboration with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizarding_world Wizarding World]-affiliated group known as the Werewolf Liberation Front (WLF), '''Therian Thirty''' was the specific effort of Major General [[Robert Bakeson]] to create his own legion of metahuman commandoes tasked to serve his wishes on a variety of levels. Having knowledge of the activities of Project Nightbreed, Bakeson realized that something in the same vein would serve his own purposes well; after doing his research, he concluded that the original parameters of Nightbreed were appropriate, yet conservative for his goals. He concluded that with modern nanotechnology available for military and medical purposes (to [[DELPHI]]) to be used for control and enhancement, that lycanthropes (werewolves) and lupine-based metahumans would provide a significant advancement. (Possibilities of loss of control was one of the primary reasons why lupines were passed over in the original research phases that begot Project Nightbreed in favor of vampiric-variants.) The project name comes from the Greek word ‘Therian’, meaning ‘wild animal’ or ‘beast’, and for the thirty-day cycle of the Moon.
