Fantasy Raising wolves-- interest check

[Reiia silver]

The lore​

Werewolves used to be very prominent, especially in America and central Europe. They even had a culture of their own, with their capital in Europe being somewhere in Europe. They mostly kept to themselves, knowing that humanity could easily overwhelm them in a straight fight. They succeeded in this for centuries, up until the 18th and 19th centuries. The expansion and industrialization of the world nearly wiped out the werewolves, and much of their culture was lost. Most moved to America, primarily to the Native American reservations, where there were many other lycans. The family dynamic of a typical werewolf family is very tight knit, and somewhat unorthodox. Werewolves do not have "friends." They instead have members of the pack. To be in the pack is to be family, no matter their background or if they're even a werewolf. Alphas can be from either sex, and are elected by the pack. They primarily keep everyone together, and try to make sure no one starts anything or reveals their existence to humanity.

​

The idea
basically humans and werewolves have been fighting for quite some time, but what happens when forbidden love happened between werewolves and humans? This is a darker romance, slice of life, drama, action and adventure. There are roles for people who want to be human and there are roles for those who want to be werewolves.

Rules
one... I require at least a paragraph each response, having at least five or so lines in it. I can be merciful, but I will definitely not take anyone liners!
Two.... Being nice, if you are not nice or kind to others, I will not tolerate that.
Three... Crimson Rose and Rusty of Shackleford are my co-GMs if they say no to something, their word is as good as mine.
Four... Please have discord, it makes it much easier to chat. Take note, I run a pretty decent size discord as I use it for all my role-plays. Although it is really well organized.
five... Have fun!

Yay! Also, a mistake I made with the lore. The original werewolf capital in Europe was Germany, not Europe. Not a big deal, just didn't want to seem like a doofus.

I’ll fix that when I get a moment

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Alright. Thanks! I wasn't really thinking, honestly.

 

[StormWolf]

A question about the werewolves: when they shapeshift, are they Wolf (True Blood, Patricia Briggs books), the Wolf-Man (the film, Teen Wolf), or the Wolf-Monster (Van Helsing, Werewolf: The Apocalypse)? Or would this perhaps be something subjective to the phase of the moon?

And I suppose I could take a crack at the Pack 3 Alpha.

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

We're discussing this as we speak! I can get back to you once we're done. Glad to have ya onboard!

 

[StormWolf]

Hey, werewolves will always at least get me to look!

If player input matters, I'm always partial to the wolf-monster, but can ultimately run with any of them.

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

I'm open to anything as well, though I've always liked the idea of there being a mixture of all three. There's the human form with wolf-like characteristics, claws, fangs, fur, etc., the wolf form, which is, well, a wolf, and a hybrid form that mixes the two, but causes the werewolf to slowly go feral.

 

[StormWolf]

I can dig it!

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

But they are not like the Twilight werewolves. By God that series is terrible.

 

[StormWolf]

You'll hear no disagreement from me.

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

I actually love to include references to it, like werewolves making little jabs at one another about how all the men never wear shirts, and how they're suprised the humans didn't fall for a sparkly vampire.

 

[StormWolf]

I mean, if you're prone to hulking out, not wearing a shirt would just be the fiscally responsible decision

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

I would think shirtlessness is popular, seeing as they have to constantly turn into animals. Also, I'm thinking we're going with my idea. I don't want to say 100%, as I want to get Crimson Rose 's opinion first.

 

[StormWolf]

Every werewolf dresses like a stripper! Tear-away pants and all!

j o k i n g

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Jeez, they must lose thousands of dollars in new clothes every year...

 

[StormWolf]

*invests in Wrangler*

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

The werewolves must rise up against the oppressive clothing companies! No longer shall we be forced to pay exuberant fees to be ourselves!

 

[StormWolf]

Kilts are obviously the answer.

More on topic: is lycanthropy transmitted by bite/scratch/blood/other bodily fluids, or are they born? Both? If so, are "born lycanthropes" and "purebred lycanthropes" treated differently than those Turned?

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Good question. It's most definitely passed on by genetics, and if we're going by traditional rules, then yes, it can be transmitted by scratches and/bodily fluids. Though I'd imagine turned werewolves have a harder time, as their bodies rapidly change to accommodate for the curse, where born werewolves are, well, born like it.

 

[StormWolf]

And those born into it are also raised in that culture, which is a large part of werewolf society, I imagine.
Perhaps those Turned have a notably harder time passing it on, but the Beast is quieter, diluted, therefore easier to control? Maybe that in turn makes them less susceptible to silver? In short, Turning could be a way to briefly swell the population, but not for the long term?

That's a great idea, actually! Kind of like how half-vampires are often less susceptible to silver and the like, but weaker overall. I imagine Turned are somewhat treated like garbage, and often aren't allowed to breed with other werewolves, lest they pollute the gene pool.

 

[StormWolf]

If they could even pass it along. Maybe providing a "carrier generation" at best, with the occasional lucky one spawing a true-bred lycanthrope in their time? But yeah, more expendable in the eyes of the true-bred, maybe?

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Definitely. They were often used as foot soldiers back in the day, before the tribes were nearly wiped out. I'm thinking of calling that event either the Harrowing, or the Long Hunt. Not sure which.

 

[StormWolf]

I'd say "Harrowing". Long Hunt sounds like something the werewolves would consider a victory.
