How Would A Werewolf Be Affected By Existing In Outer Space Or On Another Planet?
Would becoming an astronaut pose any issues for a person suffering from Lycanthropy? The obvious transformation before rocket lift off during a Full Moon would definitely hamper the career of a Werewolf astronaut. Even if they managed to avoid Full Moon missions, or in most cases a Moon 80% or more of Full, once in space they would still be exposed to more lunar energy than usual. In space the Moon is always full but it’s not the sight of that nor the lunar light alone that triggers a Werewolf’s transmutation into a rabid mad dog of hell! The unholy lunar light is merely the conduit for metaphysical energies that affect a Lycanthrope. Although these enchanted energies still reach Earth in smaller quantities without the light even during a New Moon.
Missions orbiting the Earth, or on a space station might still be protected by Goddess Gaia’s Mother Earth’s life force, which alters lunar energies, but the closer they got to the Moon the more likely a transformation would be triggered. If they ever landed on the Moon they would become permanent Werewolves. Whether on the dark or light side of the Moon. Most likely staying that way even if they returned to Earth due to the massive influx of magical lunar power. Although on a positive note they could exist in the holy sun while on the Moon due to the simultaneous unholy Moon reflection neutralizing it. They would also be extremely powerful, and most likely retain human consciousness in Werewolf form. Powerful enough to breath in space, and withstand the harsh conditions without a space suit. Some psychics, seers, and mystics have suggested that a Werewolf might be able to become fully human again if they could go deep under the lunar surface to the center of the Moon. Unfortunately this is quite impossible since it’s a solid iron core.
If a human cursed by the Lycanthrope virus traveled to Mars they would escape the hold of Earth’s Moon but could possibly suffer some manner of transformation under the Martian Moons of Phobos and Deimos. There’s also the unknown factor of existing on a planet with the life force of Mars the God of war. Of course the further away from the sun the less reflected unholy light which means a weaker Werewolf. Since no Werewolf has been to Mars we can’t know for sure. Nothing in the original Demonic witchcraft ritual that created Werewolves ever specifically stated Earth’s Moon was the only source of Lycanthrope transformation, and power. It simply was the only Moon available to them. It’s assumed that most Moons in our Solar System, and beyond would have been claimed by some manner of non-Heavenly higher dimensional deity thereby making the light energy unholy. It’s even possible in some places the Moon has been claimed by demons who could have dominion over so called “Hell Planets”. So a Werewolf could theoretically transform on any planet with a Moon in the Universe. Each planet,and it’s spirit, would also create it’s own unique interactions with the mystical forces of the exomoon. There’s a chance the curse could be cured or neutralized on another planet, or greatly worsened to create a permanent super Werewolf. Especially if faced with multiple Full Moons that could potentially create a gargantuan hulked out Werewolf. In the distant future Werewolves might escape their curse by living on Moonless worlds, or partaking of long term interstellar missions.
