Lions

The lions are a race as well as a faction. They were ordinary lions which gained awareness after eating an immortal. The infected animals and humans which created all other lycan races. They lead the Lycans faction.

 * physical access to lion dimension (conditional)
 * physical and healing power proportional to the amount of living Lycans (conditional)

1st generation Lions
Conditional: some of the lionpowers are only available, if there is a high enough Lycan population living on earth. In normal cases the amount of power is set at birth of the lionsoul, Sean is the exception to rule. He was only able to become a 1st generation after eating the flesh of another true immortal.
 * true immortality, impervious to age and physical damage

Lionsouls
There is a distinction between ordinary werelions and lionsouls.

When a lions bites a human, the human is judged. If he is deemed worthy a lionsoul is sent to his body to guide him. In normal cases the human is now a "ordinary" werelion. The external lionsoul is able to completely take over the body if it so desires. If the human becomes lions enough his soul changes to become a true lions. Which means, that the previously human soul now goes to the lion dimension after death. This happens very rarely.

The much more common case is when two werelions have a child, there is good chance that this child will have a lionsoul.
