Been thinking more about the werewolf au and here's what's new.
•Alan's wolf is absolutely massive. The other hollow heads are also bigger than normal but nothing compared to their dad. And his monster form is even larger. Like, a wolf kaiju. He can make his forms smaller but given the high emotions that usually come with transforming it's unlikely he can manage that. Even still his smallest wolf form is too big for the house. This is one of the many reasons why he doesn't like being a werewolf. Of course, nothing matters anymore when it comes to protecting his pups.
•Vic and Orange's powers work like alternate personalities, there're no signs that they have any until something traumatic happens that brings them out. For Vic it was Alan's abuse, and Alan gave Vic the same fears he has about his own powers to his son to keep him under control. For Orange it's the same as canon, the Showdown, watching his friends and now also his parents die to Dark's virus, with the additional punch to the gut being that Orange actually got to know Dark a bit when they were younger. Chosen and Dark's powers work the same as canon. Alan's powers are the same as in my Stick!Alan au; animation, pyrokinesis, levitation and telekinesis. He hates his powers as much as his wolf and as a result they both tend to come out at the same time.
•Alan is a nonspecific wolf. Idk if there's actually a giant fire wolf in some mythology, I didn't look it up. Vic and Chosen are pitbulls, Chosen is a longhair. Dark, as of now, is a husky. Orange, as of now, is a kitsune, though I can easily be persuaded. I'm still looking at other mammals for the color gang (assuming they also become werewolves) but as of now, Red is an orange maine coon, Yellow is a raccoon (curious, clever, and have "masks" on their eyes like glasses), Blue, as of now, is a ferret/weasel (they're a type of witch familiar), Green, as of now, is a bat (they have diverse chirps like birds). Tbh I'm not completely sold on the last two. Blue is a little difficult to nail down for me, other options I had were a deer, black cat, or fox, but those are either already taken or were too different from his friends. And I'm trying to avoid animals that would make the stick similar to another creature (a dolphin would make them too similar to a mermaid, a seal/sea lion would be too much like a selkie, and of course a bat would make them too similar to a vampire, but to a lesser degree), but I'm thinking of making a small exception for Green since out of all the mammals bats are the most musical, and him being able to fly while also being the closest to Purple creates an interesting dynamic to me.
•other creatures besides werewolves exist, Orchid and Purple are sirens, for example. Purple is half siren (so more like a mermaid, there's a difference here), allowing her to live both on land and in the sea, but was born without the magic sirens normally have. She still loves the idea of flying (which is why I think it'd be an interesting dynamic if the guy she's crushing on can fly).
•the Newgrounds attack doesn't happen in this au but Chosen and Dark after running away still cause chaos that butterfly-effected the world. They would intentionally scare and sometimes (Dark) attack people in their monster forms, which led to people hunting all creatures out of fear, resulting in many stickmen being falsely accused and killed alongside innocent creatures (by vigilante hunters, not the government, just to be clear). One of those innocents was Mitsi, who had Vic's werewolf scent on her.
I'm still thinking of other things for this au so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
But it's done! And it has pretty much everything important to this version of stick Alan, so it'll be a really good reference to use if I ever get around to actually writing the fic lol
Hopefully everything's legible, if not I can post a scaled up version.
Anyway, here's some standalone pics of both of Alan's forms below the read more.
