Hi, big fan of your work ! (English is not my native language, so sorry for my mistakes.)
In your recent post about the descendants of werewolves (my favorite creature !), you introduce us to Beasts and their nightly transformations.
But what would hapen if a Beast enters a transformation area like Maxford or Baxter Beach ? Would both their forms be affected or only one ? Or will they somehow influence the power of the town/beach/wherever ?
Since I’ve introduced you guys to transformation areas, I’ve mainly focused on Maxford, since it's one of the largest, and to be honest one of the most interesting transformation areas that exist. But for a complicated question like this, it makes more sense to focus on one of the smaller and more controlled transformation areas, which brings us back to another place I introduced you to early on, known as Baxter Beach.
For those of you who don’t remember, Baxter Beach is another transformation area, a small beach somewhere on the American east coast that transforms anyone who walks onto the sand into a hunky surfer for as long as they stay there. There's also a small surf shop that can extend the transformation of those who enter the area for some time, but we’ll get into that some other time. What we’re going to focus on for now is how Baxter Beach, and other transformation areas like it, affect those who aren’t quite human. Not just Beasts, but Alphas, Camous, and even Trait Vampires.
Let's start with the group you’re most familiar with, Alphas. The other descendants of werewolves besides Beasts, Alphas are incredibly manly men who are so naturally dominant that reality itself submits to their will. Men who get the entire world handed to them on a silver platter, by people who will become whatever their Alpha decides. The thing is, with a place like Baxter Beach, an area with a sort of will all of its own, Alpha's power can get a bit more… interesting. When an Alpha and a TF area come into contact, they don’t come into conflict like many people assume they would, but instead tend to form an almost symbiotic relationship. The Alpha and the area become intertwined, at least for as long as the Alpha stays in the area. The Alpha gains even more control and power than they normally would have, and the area gains more direction and strength. For example, if an Alpha were to come in contact with Baxter Beach, the Alpha would become a hunky surfer on the outside, well keeping their true self intact internally. They’d then have almost complete control over the area, not only the people but the physical area itself, able to warp and play with it with ease. They’d be able to focus the natural power of the beach in any way they wanted, and even somewhat increase the beach’s area of effect. An Alpha finding a TF area can be very, very dangerous, because as long as they stay in that area, the Alpha is essentially a god. The only limitation they’d have is that the Alpha has to stay ‘on brand’ as it were. They can do anything… as long as it’s beach related. All that being said, it is possible that something else could happen, if it were a particularly strong Alpha, or a particularly powerful area.
Next up is Camous. For those who don’t remember, Camous are essentially the opposite of Alphas, people who don’t control reality, but who conform to fit into it. Surround a Camou with a group of gym bros, you get another obnoxious gym bro. Throw a Camou into a gay nightclub, you get a cute twink ready to rave. For an Alpha a tf area is a gift, but for a Camou, they’re basically death sentences. Camous already naturally submit to their environment, but when they come in contact with a tf area, an environment that makes even regular people submit, they essentially become a part of the area itself. They undergo an intense transformation, becoming a pinnacle of whatever the area makes their victims into, and become a sort of conduit for the area's power, one that remains even after leaving the area. For example, if a Camou were to enter Baxter Beach, they’d become a hunky surfer like everyone else, but they’d notably remain one after leaving the area. Not only that, they’d make those around them hunky surfers too, at least for a while, essentially becoming a moving part of the Beach’s influence. In a way, the area infects them, turning the Camou into a part of the area itself and making them a permanent resident. Some Camous will actually seek out tf areas, since well it does change them, it protects them from being changed again and gives them a solid sense of self, something many Camous crave. Of course, they have to pick the area very carefully, or else they might become something they hate.
Another interesting group that can interact with tf areas are trait vampires, although their way of doing this is a lot simpler. Trait vampires, surprisingly, are affected by tf areas at all. No one is quite sure why, but a trait vampire stays exactly the same when inside the tf area, with the only notable difference being that they can’t steal any of the traits created by the area for themselves. One thing they can do, however, is alter some specifics of how the area affects people. For example, if a trait vampire were to walk onto Baxter Beach, they wouldn’t transform, or be able to steal someone's muscles, but they could make it so one of the hunky surfers was a beefy lifeguard instead, or a giant beach bodybuilder. They can make it so that the beach has to ‘reroll’ and transform the person in another way than they initially picked. This isn’t very useful, but can be fun for a trait vampire looking to play with their powers a bit.
Finally, let's go to your favorite group, the Beasts. Regular guys who undergo nightly transformations into incredibly manly, gruff men, ones with animalistic impulses and the need to fuck. They can spread their curse through unprotected sex, but are generally harmless as long as you have a condom. When a Beast interacts with a transformation area, they can actually gain another form. For instance, if a Beast were to enter Baxter Beach, they’d remain unchanged, and would still become their Beast self at night, but might gain the condition that they become a surfer when they touch salt water. This new, extra form will stay with the Beast, even after they leave the area, so most Beasts avoid tf areas so they don’t end up gaining a third persona.
Well it can be complicated, and dangerous to test, seeing how different transformations interact can be so fascinating. I’d definitely like to explore that a lot more in the future.
