More werewolf au bc I feel we moved on way too fast or didn't talk about it enough
''i'm finally answering your ask btw!'' (doesn't answer it until a week later)
i've had this ask since like april uhhhhhh
okay so even though i did figure most stuff out, things are still subject to change as i get more ideas. this is still very rough so don't expect much jsjdjd
the worldbuilding is different. there's no season things, just the werewolves. eurydice is still probably someone who came into town recently, though, and hermes and orpheus still have the bar and stuff. the general public is somewhat skeptical of werewolves, and most people don't really think they exist.
no idea about persephone yet (suggestions welcome.)
hades is a wealthy man who knows of their existence and is trying to capture specimens of them to become famous (and richer). basically he's a werewolf hunter. i haven't decided if he has caught more of them before the story, but i'm leaning towards no. however in that search, he meets the fates.
the fates are like some kind of goddesses or moon spirits. they also have their werewolf days but they work a little differently (more on that later), and can possibly turn people not just through bites but simply with their magic. hades sees an opportunity and partners with them. he thinks they work for him but really they work for themselves. still haven't decided motivations, though. possibly do chaos?
also i really like their design hehe
well in that partnership they found a way for hades to get a bit of that magic and be able to turn people himself (don't know how yet). by this point hades has been hunting for a while
so i still don't know how she gets into the situation but eurydice is lost in the woods and badly injured, possibly trying to get firewood. it's the full moon. hades finds the first of his victims while hunting or searching.
obviously well eurydice is kind of far away from town and even though it's a strange man offering to help her/save her life, she's not really in a position to refuse. so she gets turned, and hades captures her. yay!
about the next events i'm not really sure, but of course orpheus comes to rescue her and i have a Really angsty idea for the ending. tragedy <333
and finally how my werewolves work:
okay so this is werwolf eurydice for example:
(the perspective is a bit of but whateverrr)
they're almost completely quadrupedal, they can stand but they're kind of off-balance. they are also typically bigger than an average wolf. physical features that are different are the hands and the nose. while they're transformed, all they can feel is an overwhelming hunger, which is why they are so aggressive: they will eat anything they can kill.
the tranformation is also very, very painful, as expected. i don't think having every single molecule in your body changed would be fun. it also lasts around 30 minutes. a few days before and after the transformation it's very common for the person to feel very sick. periods of muscular pain and fatigue are also normal throughout the whole month.
(the fates are different in that they can control when they turn. it still looks gruesome but if it hurts, they don't show it. they're also a lot more concious/sentient than the regular werewolf.)
that's all i have for now ;)
