Questionable Questing

Personality and beliefs are what makes interesting characters

Well with vampires it's less about who they are and more about how the character's respond to dealing with them. Fighting vampires is like fighting a force of nature, I guess is what I'm gettting at. Its about how the character's deal with being so powerless in the face of abject evil.

Ah. Werewolves? I can give ideas for that to make them pop
Andy333
Andy333
Sure, love to hear it. My idea was just to make them like extended families or clan, maybe some stuff about how wolf and human instinct's clashed making it hard for them to fit in normal society.

How much you know of White wolf? There's using that shaman stuff but the other way is going what could Werewolves represent? What is a werewolf besides a dude that turns into a giant wolf man? Could go for werewolves as a greater Scion of ancient wolf like monsters who are far more than wolves.

Fenir was going to kill Odin. His sons would devour the moon and sun. Cerberus and Garm guarded the underworld. The list goes on. World devouring spirits or mighty hellhounds

That's kind of cool. Norse Mythology is always a fun thing to explore.

Maybe have it be fenir was killed, but his bood lives on in his children and that by calling on his power their slowly piecing him back together after hundreds of years. Would tie in with the Lovecraft vibe I was going for, with an ancient god slowly rising back from the grave while humanity is blissfully unaware.

What urban fantasy have you read and how was your day?
Andy333

You'll probably laugh at this, but for awhile I was a fan of Mortal Instruments which is basically the decedents of angels and demons fighting over magical holy relics. Which sounds cool, but it was a yound adult romance story made for teenage girls, and inbetween cool fights and magic, you had one of the most drawn out romances I've ever seen.
Andy333
Andy333
God it was awful, I was like 7 or 8 books in and it was still a will they won't they romance. But other than that my day was fine. Just ran around unclogging sinks and a bunch of other random stuff like that.

Now for the smut of tho's setting
Andy333
Andy333
Yeah, if they cut out the unnecessary romace bullshit, I would've loved it so much more. i remeber like in the third or forth book the girl and guy, Claire and Jace if I remeber correctly, found out the main bad guy was their father and they wanted to kiss, but they couldn't because the whole incest thing,
Andy333
Andy333
Only to find out by the end of the book they weren't actually related. God it was such a cop out and unnecessary twist for drama.

And they had her instinctively know the other guy she kissed repulsed her as she was his brother. That entire dude's plotline was fucked. What would you like to take from that series?
Andy333
Andy333
Just got back from dinner, frozen pizza's are a lot better than people give them credit for. But for Mortal instruamtes, I did like some the magic muggffins those were really cool and the way they described demons and angels was really really cool, I liked how they style of writing changed suddenly and it really felt like these beings were powerful enough to manipulate the book itself. Really cool stuff.
