My werewolf setting was actually inspired by the X-Men comics. I love marvel comics but one of my biggest pet peeves is how, if you get your super powers from a Steroid experiment gone wrong you become the most beloved champion and hero of American ideals(Captain America) but if you were naturally born with your powers you're nothing but filthy mutie scum. Unless of course you're a space alien, or an Asgardian...then you get to be in the popular club with the Steroid guy, or the walking talking radioactivity emitters like Wonder Man, Photon, Sentry, etc.<br/><br/>So I tried to imagine a scenario where it sort of makes sense why the public might hate and fear a class of super-powered beings and came up with this.<br/><br/>Quick n' dirty summary:<br/><br/>Mine is a homebrew setting where Werewolf existence went public during World War 2 when Hitler's propaganda machine succesfully brainwashed a young orphaned Werewolf into joining the youth brigades and revealing his true nature to his superiors.<br/><br/>After Nazi scientists finished experimenting and vivisecting the boy, they succesfully weaponized the werewolf gene. Until then only very specific kinds of people could become a wolf by bite. Otherwise you had to be born a Werewolf by having at least one werewolf parent. The German bombing raids on France took a horrific new form as hundreds of ravenous werewolves were dropped on the city rather than bombs. One of those savage monsters could rip a tank to peices and shred multiple squads of soldiers.<br/><br/>Although natural werewolves were quick to step up and help Allied forces defeat the viral Werewolves the Nazis were cranking out, the damage was done. The world knew about their existence now and the first impression was a disaster built on thousands of corpses. It wasn't long before Werewolves were being hunted en-masse, and though they were powerful the sheer numbers and technology of humanity inevitably prevailed. By 2012, most werewolves who survived "The Dark Hunts" live on wildlife reservations/concentration camps commonly known as Kennels to the general public. Though people occasionally try to form civil rights movements for Werewolves they usually fizzle out quickly. Roughly around the time some poor shmuck gets eaten by one.<br/><br/>The story focuses on a pack of Werewolves, made up of both Naturals and Virals(and a handful of allies) who've set up shop in a roadhouse bar and grill called 'The Doghouse'. They wrestle with the desire to aid their kind, while trying to stay under the radar and remain free. All while the government is preparing to initiate a new series of Blood Screenings to ferret out any remaining Werewolves...and just may risk dragging other supernatural creatures(Vamps, witches, other werecritters, and more) out into the public spotlight. Meanwhile a young woman with mysterious power(Cliche', I know. Sue me) has recently emerged and has the potential to save or damn all Werewolf kind.
