Here is where you can give us the lowdown on the creatures you've brought to the story. Give background details, descriptions/images, links to more info, etc.
Any info you'd rather readers weren't privy to can be posted on the Bard's Workshop Board.
Rules for Monsters, Creatures, Supernaturals, Murderers, etc.:
The 'Hunters' cannot lose control unless they're confined to, or contained within, a restricted area. (Such as the Zombies on "Zombie Island.") Otherwise they'll go after the locals ... and the locals are _hands off_ ... the locals have made a deal, and all the 'Hunters' have to abide by that deal. As long as the locals feel that they and their families are safe, they're gonna play nice, but if they find that the deal has no merit, they're gonna band together and take back their town. We don't want that happening so soon. We want Merry Land to continue with the deal for a long, long time to come.
The 'Hunters' cannot breed or infect at rampant rates either, unless they're confined and their death rate is high. Otherwise they'd take over the town, and the locals would feel the need to take the town back. The 'Hunters' need limits as to how they pass on their genes, or infect others. They have to live among the locals, and they have to do their best to get along with them. The 'Hunters' have to play nice with the locals just as much as the locals have to play nice with them.
Of course, neither side likes that very much, but there ya go.
As for the rules: they can be thought of more as 'guidelines' ... which means that _exceptions_ are allowed. However, you need a reason to 'break/stretch' the rules. For instance: in some stories, vampires cannot go out into the sun, and in other stories they can ... so I set it up so that bards who want their vampire to be able to go out in daylight can, and bards that don't want their vampires to go out in the daylight can't. (Not without a charm/lotion/potion.)
So, if you want your creature or mystical/magical supernatural being to do something that is against the rules I've set, or against the rules some other bard has set for their character/s, you need to have a reason, a spell, a virus, an allergic reaction, a damaged/malformed gene, or some other fluke cause of some kind, etc.. See, the locals must feel safe, and they can't feel like they're becoming a minority ... or even prey. Keeping the locals happy helps keep them from wavering on their end of the deal. Don't make them rethink their part of the bargain.

"Kalan" Species: Full-blooded werewolf Age: claims he's 27, but looks younger Height: 5'10" Weight: 180 Hair: black Eyes: black Fur color while in wolf from: black w/white paws Handedness: left Clothing: cut-off jean shorts, never wears a shirt or shoes Personality: laid-back. really friendly towards the locals, as long as they abide by the deal. likes to even help them lure in tourists. very protective of his friends and family. Notes: typically stays in wolf form, unless he's helping the locals to lure in tourists. wears blue contact lenses when he's talking to tourists, because he's learned his black eyes tend to scare them off before he gets a chance to do anything. here's a close approximation of what he looks like. just imagine his hair is blacker. (this actor's name is Brian Krause.)  |
