i could totally support dark side as an original! and of course, if you ever wanted someone to bounce ideas off of, i’m here :)
You’re way to sweet for me and I think that I’ll bounces my ideas here, it will be quicker and if anyone else is interested, at least this post could help! It’s actually messy and still in work but this is what I have so far!
Well, first thing is that I will probably change a bunch of fc and name, including Daphne. I’ll also keep some ideas/personalities from Teen Wolf characters such as Scott, Melissa, the Sheriff, Stiles, and maybe Lydia and Isaac.
The start won’t change that’s much, it’s still Daphne trying to uncover the truth after being attacked by a mysterious characters and earning some abilities whereas her brother deals with his own secrets and have a weird behavior. She’ll no longer be a Werewolf too, but might be other things who know
The main changes concerning the twin is their backstory. In the original work, they’re not the biological children of the “McCalls” (name subject to change). They were adopted when they were fairly young after their parents dissapeared or died mysteriously. The twins had barely any memories of them but they’ll end up by digging in their family story after a few events. Daphne’s twin still a werewolf but the way he became one changes.
The city will probably stay in California (still thinking of it but it will probably have the best combo oceans/forrest/maybe lake) but what will mainly change from TW is the way the supernatural is organized. Within the city, there is factions/organizations that only the supernatural is aware of. That’s how the supernatural still hidden and it’s really a big system and will have a large impact on the story and on the twins too.
Because in TW, the werewolf specie been a LOT explained (which is totally normal) letting few space to organize other species, I will try to focus also on the different species and how it works outside the Council. The werewolf would pretty much still the same, but species like Sirens/Mermaids will be explored (I HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS FOR THIS BEANS), also I will either exploring the Druids or a specie close to it and I would loves to introduce other species so I’ll make a bunch of research.
The Big Bad still in processing but I think will merge Peter and Theo together. But also another one who has a much larger role tbh.
I think that the friendships between the characters will change too. If the twins will stay a true brotp, I think that Daphne will have her very own groups of friends just like Scott will have his own clique. Not too big but I like to explore the ideas that they’re not hang out the same they used to do, but they still telling each other everything and how their relationship will changes again.
I’ll kept a personality like Stiles in the book, but his role might be bigger than the human of the groups. He will still be the son of the Sheriff (and being a kind of informant somehow) but also have another ideas for him. As well, I really want to keep a personality like Lydia cause I love the trope so I’ll think about it.
I might add an adoptive older sister for the twins who could act as Deaton/Derek figure in some way.
