Cayden Tollerman

Cayden Tollerman (formerly known as Cayden Richards) is the adopted son of Dean and Janice Richards, the biological son of Conner Slaughter and Lucinda Sommers, the great nephew of John and Clara Tollerman, the step-son of Dr. Julian Sommers, the older half-brother of Annabelle Sommers and the soulmate of Juliet Galen. He later becomes a member of Scott McCall's Pack.

Powers and Abilities

 * Superhuman Strength: As a Werewolf, Cayden possesses superhuman strength which allows him to perform feats that normal humans would be unable to.
 * Superhuman Durability: As a Werewolf, Cayden is much more durable and resistant to blunt force injuries than a normal human. He was able to survive falling down from several feet and falling onto jagged rocks and was still able to get up. This caused him several bruises, broken bones, and internal organ damage before his healing kicked in.
 * Super Speed and Stamina: As a werewolf, Cayden can run and react at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete. He can utilize this speed using his legs or by running on all fours in werewolf form.
 * Super Agility and Reflexes: As a Werewolf, Cayden's agility and reflexes are enhanced to superhuman levels, allowing him to perform various feats that humans would either find difficult to perform without training or outright impossible.
 * Superhuman Senses: As a werewolf, Cayden can use his glowing eyes to see in total darkness, across long distances, and to perceive supernatural phenomena that cannot be seen with human eyes, such as Kitsune auras and the Nemeton when it is shielding itself. He possesses an extremely acute sense of smell that allows him to track animals, human, and supernatural creatures across long distances solely by scent, so long as the scent isn't washed away by rain or overpowered by stronger scents like chemicals. This ability also allows him to discern the emotional state of others by interpreting the chemosignals in their scents. Also, Cayden has a very heightened sense of hearing, granting him the ability to hear whispered conversations from hundreds of feet away, sense approaching enemies, and, with some degree of accuracy, determine truth from lie by listening to a person's heart beat while they talk.
 * Accelerated Healing: As a werewolf, Cayden possesses the ability to heal from most mild to moderate wounds within moments, and more severe wounds within hours. This ability also extends to his immune system, granting him immunity to all human diseases and conditions, as well as making him unable to become drunk on alcohol or high on drugs as a result of his body healing his damaged cells too quickly.
 * Shapeshifting: As a werewolf, Cayden has the ability to partially shift into wolf by transforming his body, giving, retractable claws and fangs, and glowing icy-blue eyes. His eye color is different from other werewolves because he comes from an old bloodline that has remained pure for centuries.
 * Advanced Shapeshifting: Despite being classified as a beta werewolf, Cayden possesses the ability to shapeshift into a more animalistic and beast-like appearance which is typically preceded by black markings forming across his face and visible skin. In this form, he retains a humanoid-like physique but with his body covered in grey and brown fur, a blonde lion-like mane running down his back, a short snout, a slight increase in height, muscle mass, his ribcage being extended and his voice taking on a more deep and rough tone
 * Pain Absorbtion: As a Werewolf, Cayden possesses the ability to absorb the pain of animals, humans, and supernatural creatures by touching the person's skin with their hands. This ability manifests as dark veins that vary depending on how much pain he siphons ranging from simply appearing on his hands and arms to reaching his face, neck and chest.
 * Animal Instincts: Due to being a Werewolf, Cayden is an apex predator, and can thus exert dominance over other animals such as dogs, cats, and deer in order to force them to stand down.

Weaknesses

 * Wolfsbane: As a Werewolf, Cayden can be weakened or even killed by exposure to wolfsbane with different strains having different effects.
 * Nordic Blue Monkshood is fatal to Werewolves but can be cured by burning out a wound caused by a wolfsbane-laced weapon or applying to the wound the ashes of the Nordic Blue Monkshood. However, due to being from a pure bloodline, this strain of wolfsbane isn't as lethal to Cayden as it is to other werewolves.
 * Yellow Wolfsbane can weaken, sedate and even kill Werewolves as well, depending on the method of exposure and potency. This form of poisoning can be treated by surgically slicing open the chest of the poisoned werewolf and allowing the yellow wolfsbane gas to come out in the form of a cloud.
 * Black Wolfsbane is extremely lethal and has a high mortality rate if not treated within hours of exposure. The only known way to cure Black Wolfsbane is by mixing the ashes of the strain with a few other surgical medications as well as O-negative blood and injected into the body via a major artery.
 * Letharia Vulpina: As a canine werecreature, Cayden, like other Werewolves, werecoyotes, and Kitsune, can be weakened by exposure to letharia vulpina, also known as "wolf lichen" because of how toxic it can be toward the canine species.
 * Electricity: As a Werewolf, Cayden can be weakened or even killed by exposure to electricity, depending on how strong the voltage is. Lower voltages will disable his healing ability and prevent him from transforming, while higher voltages can severely slow or stop his heart completely. However, due to being from a pure bloodline, he can withstand a higher voltage current than other werewolves.
 * Full Moon: Though being a werecreature is considered a gift in the supernatural world due to the increased speed, stamina, and healing that it provides, it also comes with a price, which is that the Werewolf, Werecoyote, or Werejaguar is beholden to the phases of the moon. During a full moon, werecreatures without training will become overcome with a rabid anger that will cause them to attack any living creature they come upon, which is why they all must learn control to avoid exposure and harm to innocent civilians. The full moon will make a Werewolf stronger, but it will also make them more rabid and chaotic, which makes them easily hunted by supernatural hunters.
 * Lunar Eclipse: During the phase of a lunar eclipse where the moon is completely covered in the earth's umbral shadow, a Werewolf or other werecreature will lose all of their powers, including their super strength, accelerated healing, and shapeshifting abilities.
 * Mountain Ash: As Werewolf, Cayden is vulnerable to the effects of rowan wood and the ashes of the wood (known as Mountain Ash) have on true supernatural creatures which can be used as barriers that he is unable to cross through in order to enter or leave an area.
 * Modified Canine Distemper Virus: One of the assassins in the Deadpool, The Chemist, created a modified version of the canine distemper virus that could sicken both humans and any canine shapeshifter, such as Werewolves, Werecoyotes, and Kitsune. Scott, Brittney, Isaac, Kira, Malia, Cayden, Juliet and Stiles were all exposed to the virus at the SATs, and all but Juliet and Stiles nearly died from its effects. However, consuming wild purple reishi mushrooms are known to cure a the virus and prevent those who ingest it from being infected in the first place.
