A very ancient religious festival in ancient Rome. This is the entry in William Smith's <I>Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities</I>.

With the new rule about Secui, can some characters still have their Secui form as their default/preferred form?

From the RP Guide>Luperci>Physiology:

Additionally, for most, maintaining Secui form also takes a certain amount of constant energy. It is a convenient “halfway” point between the two other forms and it isn’t difficult to stay in the form, but those who fall asleep in Secui might find that they’ll wake up in either Lupus or Optime form. That being the case, it’s fairly unusual for Secui to be an individual’s “default” form. Some feral communities might utilize the form for hunts and fights, taking advantage of the extra raw strength it provides while still being very natural in terms of stance and movement. More humanized Luperci might also utilize Secui for battle, as the form is similar in size and weight as an Optime and teeth are still superior to handheld weapons in many instances.

"Fairly unusual" doesn't mean "no."

regarding luperci anatomy and the ability we have to fudge it to a minor degree, is it okay to have a mixture of different aesthetic interpretations depending on the character, or do you just have to kind of pick one as a player and stick to it? can i have one female character with human-like booba, and then one that is completely flat chested?

You can do what you like between characters. The main thing is to be consistent with regard to individuals, and that consistency should also remain across players. For example, if Wolf is always described as being flat-chested by their player Bob, other players describing Wolf should stay true to that. If Bob's other character Coyote is well-endowed, other players should stick with that interpretation where relevant. That said, if player Anne's personal preference is to interpret all Luperci as minimally-humanised and with flat chests, then they can simply refrain from making direct references to Coyote's breasts. They can also choose to interpret what big breasts are intended to "mean," which may be femininity, attractiveness, sexuality, or desirability, and make references based off that. E.g. "Coyote was exquisitely attractive, but Dog resisted staring." Hopefully, this sort of protocol allows all players to have their own interpretations while still respecting others', sometimes differing, interpretations. :>
