Hooray! I don’t mind that you reserved a couple of spots, I think it’s a smart idea. Better safe than sorry. Always. :D Time to start answering some questions! Ha ha! I am glad that you are OK with it set in the winter. I’m tired of it being hot too... In regards to the timing, I imagined we would be starting the story a few months after the werewolves have come out to the public. The idea is still sinking in with the general population, but government interactions would be starting to become a regular thing. The catalyst for our characters to be meeting would be the sudden slew of murders and disappearances. The leaders of the werewolves are worried that the humans are going to jump on the situation and point the fingers at the newly revealed monsters immediately, so they are trying to show good Grace by offering to help with an investigation. Werewolves can detect, in most cases, other supernatural creatures using their sense of smell. They are also very strong and very fast. In regards to William, and the rest of the werewolves as a matter of fact, he actually appears to be in his prime. So even though he was changed when he was starting to get wrinkles and gray hair’s, he doesn’t have either of those now. The change gives them permanent youth as long as they are alive. Oh, I would definitely expect the humans to still be skeptical, as mentioned with this being said right after the reveal. Ah yes, the city. Hmm... I I think it should definitely be a major city, that’s for sure. And I like the idea of it being an existing city, but us taking creative liberties with it, give it our own spin. I can imagine something in the Midwest, somewhere that they are likely to get a lot of snow. Chicago, Rochester, Boston, things like that. I am OK with wherever if you would like to pick something. :) W. I. R. Project? I like it! I think that could work. If I can come up with anything else, I’ll let you know. If I repeat myself, I apologize. I’ll just put some general information about werewolves here. Some of this would be known, some of it still unrevealed. Werewolves are created, not born. At least, there has never been a documented account of a person that was born already a werewolf. Werewolf females cannot become pregnant, the change is too violent and they spontaneously miscarry any pregnancies. But it takes more than a scratch or a bite to become a werewolf. The person has to survive an attack so vicious that it would otherwise leave them dead, allowing the magic of the change to infiltrate their body. When successful, they recover rapidly. Because of the violent nature of the change, it is much more common to have men become werewolves rather than women, due to their naturally stronger bodies. Werewolves have a perpetual look of youth about them, an adult in their prime. They are not affected by sickness or disease. People who are changed when they are older revert to a state of prime and any existing conditions of illness are eliminated. Werewolves can change outside of the full moon. While every werewolf Hass to change when the moon is full, it is not the only time that they have the ability to change. Changing is a painful, lengthy process. The more dominant a wolf is, the less time it usually takes, but the average amount of time is anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes. Werewolves resemble regular wolves, Though a hybrid form is possible, though it is difficult. Unlike regular wolves however, werewolves are much larger and more densely muscled, have much larger fangs, and are built more like a large cat or bear throughout their shoulders and front legs. Their coloring also much more resembles the wider variety of dogs rather than the Limited grays of Timberwolves. Werewolf eyecolor changes depending on if they are fully human or the wolf is close to the surface as well. Because they are so densely muscled, they cannot swim, much like chimpanzees. Werewolves have hot tempers, but more dominant wolves are able to control those beneath them. Werewolves are structured into packs, With an alpha at the head. Loan wolves are very rare. On the North American continent, there is one alpha werewolf that is more dominant than every other wolf and is considered to be the alpha of all the alphas. He has the last say on any major decision, but regularly leaves smaller decisions to the appointed alphas over the packs spread out across the continent. Werewolves are faster and stronger than any human. Their senses of smell and hearing our keener as well. They also have the ability to heal quickly from any injury. Silver is very harmful to them however, the wounds from anything that includes silver taking much longer to heal. Even just touching a werewolf with silver burns them. Staring a werewolf in the eyes triggers and instinctive reaction, as they take it as a dominance challenge. This is especially dangerous for humans. Most older werewolves have learned tricks to avoid unnecessarily starting a dominance stare down, though most humans instinctively know to look away, though they don’t understand why. That’s all I can think of at the moment. I’ll add any additional information here if it comes to mind. And of course, feel free to ask any further questions. :3
