For some time now I've been contemplating doing a remake of one of my earlier threads, Heart of a Wolf. The concept is that there is an entire society of clans, tribes, and packs of shapeshifters currently living in human society. But through an elaborate coded communication system and a few lycanthropes in high places, their existence is thoroughly covered up.
I'd like a mixture of different shapeshifters, as well as a few humans who learn about and become inducted into the lycanthrope society. Feel free to get as creative with it as possible. Here's a fast rundown of how the different shifters are organized:
Werewolves are the most predominant, but each different clan takes on the characteristics of a certain breed of wolf. The most common are the clans resembling the grey and timber wolves. Others include arctic wolves, maned wolves, and red wolves.
Werecoyotes are also becoming more common for reasons unknown to the other shifters. They generally keep to their own kind, anyway.
Weretigers are common in areas with strong Asian communities. As are werewfoxes, the sole keepers of magic among the lycanthropes.
Werejaguars occupy a special role in shifter society. They are punishers of evil-doers and the wicked, both in human society and among their peers. They are judges, enforcers, hunters, and executioners all in one.
The list goes on, of course.
I'll be replaying my old character, Varg Blackstone.
Name: Varg Blackstone
Age: 19
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 167 lbs
Hair: Dark brown with natural tinges of rust red
Eyes: Violet
Species: Werewolf
Description: Varg is a tall, lean young man with a serious face. He has a rugged, chiseled look as if his features had been carved from wood. He grows his hair down to his waist and ties it back in a ponytail at his upper back. His wardrobe consists almost entirely of beat-up blue jeans and band T-shirts of a variety of horrorpunk and psychobilly groups. He also wears heavy steel-toed boots and a leather biker's jacket.
Backstory: Varg is a bit of a lone wolf. He lost both of his parents in an accident when he was 2 years old, and was raised by his uncle, aunt, and her husband. Uncle Leo was always an eccentric, and his love of books was the only thing that taught Varg to be literate. Despite a natural intelligence, Varg was always a man of few words. He kept to himself and instead become obsessed with the concept of justice. He saw the system around him as inherently flawed, and contemplated this for hours on end as he also immersed himself in his hobby with mechanics.
At the age of 17, Varg built his customized motorcycle from scratch and named it Black Rose. He took to the streets immediately, where he saw humanity at its finest... and at its worst. His desire for justice led to voluntary vigilantism, a concept he soon came to think of as his duty.
In the last two years, Varg has been prowling the city streets night after night on patrol. Urban legends has sprung up around him, always growing wilder with each story to the point where there's more embellishment to them than political spin. Not that Varg minds...
