Happy Werewolf Wednesday from the Werewolf: the Essentials team!

Have a preview with some comic script screenshots! There seems to be a lot of curiosity surrounding the Bitten, so we decided to tell that story with our pain protagonist, Dante Esposito! Enjoy! Note this script is in its second draft and may be subject to change.

Another Werewolf Wednesday Update!

As an homage to the legacy books we have come to love, Werewolf the Essentials will start with a comic!

The script for this is just about finished, with only about two pages left to be completed. We love all the characters and think they're relatable and possess unique narrative voices.

To ensure every faction and key characters have those unique voices, we've had multiple writers working concurrently. While it was initially tricky finding a good workflow, we now have a collaborative writing system down that we're all pretty happy with. We're really chuffed with the culture of cooperation that exists within the team thus far.

Depending on how the illustrator works on this, we may or may not release portions of the comic as game teasers when they become completed.

Sometimes you need to make stupid ocs with your friends for the sake of making stupid ocs

[kronosfm]

NERO ( david tennant ) the man of many faces.

known without a true name, nero controls much of the dark underbelly residing in novus’ depths, from human and weapons trafficking, assassinations and even the movement of super drug enhancements. known to be able to shapeshift at will, he matches a cunning nature with agility by being able to impersonate anyone and everyone to an almost perfect degree, getting to the root of their deepest fears. the city’s kingpin has been around for almost two decades, and his influence only grows by day with his followers being more than willing to die for his cause of being the catalyst to novus’ chaos. though, he prefers not to be in the forefront of many of his planned attacks — with the public having barely seen him despite a few rare occurrences. rumour has it, he was once a part of the nsa’s hero training squadron and even trained amongst paragon and sentinel — but just never managed to make the final cut.  inspired by the joker.

DAHLIA & CHERRY ( lupita nyong'o & mia goth ) the queens of novus’ south side.

dahlia and cherry are the two names that always come to mind when you think of hijinks, heists and high-speed chases. both known survivors of a fire that engulfed an orphanage many years ago, the two outlaws were of the fair few who managed to wrestle their way out of the system and went on the run, despising most of the options laid out by the nsa’s policy, plans and programs department. dahlia wields the power of mother nature in her hands and cherry is a master mixed martial artist and trained gymnast — both formidable in their own ways, they have managed to make a name out of themselves even when starting from zero. known for their intrinsically distrusting nature, the two often only work together, though have managed to pull of the biggest bank heist to hit novus in centuries with record-breaking casualties. while the famed vigilante group crux has always come incredibly close to putting the two lovers behind bars, they never managed to strike the final nail on the coffin — at least not yet. inspired by poison ivy and harley quinn.

BEATRIX aka TRIX ( stephanie hsu ) the genius of novus’ underbelly.

with the motto of always searching for the big thing, and never cowering behind the boundaries of innovation, kronos has undoubtedly shaped some of the greatest minds of the last century. but what happens to those who had become a little too experimental? trix was fired from kronos five years ago for illegal experimentation concerning human subjects, with many of their projects involving life-threatening implants that resulted in the deaths of many. jubilant in nature, they were once the pride and joy of kronos’ ai execution and deployment team — known as bea. a bright future was set to be in their path, but they took one too many wrong turns. presently, however, their tale tells of a different story. trix often works with nero, as well as a few rumoured strays inside of the nsa’s tech and systems department, to manufacture and smuggle illegal technology for villains all over the globe. one of their most notable inventions rivals even the omnidroid itself, and there’s no telling what will come out of their brilliant mind yet. inspired by arcane’s jinx.

DANTE VITTORE ( giancarlo esposito ) the mad scientist.

a man respected by many and feared by much more, dante was, and still is, known within kronos to be a ‘super fanatic.’ he was widely-known to have been robert buchanan’s chief scientist and the mentor of many team members of kronos’ biotech r&d department. not stopping there, the futurist was heavily involved in the growth of nsa’s department of training, strategy and defense, and often aided its officers with his extensive knowledge on the biology of supers. while his intentions were pure, the measures he would take to achieve it grew more and more dangerous. one fateful night, dante fell victim to one of his experiments and became the catalyst to his own downfall from greatness. no one knew what exactly happened, but he was never the same again. ‘ he’s gone mad, ’ kronos explained, when he rampaged the city and controlled more than half of the population with the sheer force of his newly-acquired technopathy. the nsa’s heroes, aided by crux, quickly came into work and he was cast off to one of novus’ many off-island prisons. stories of dante have quieted down over the years, yet there’s really no telling when he’ll make his return. inspired by doctor doom.

+1 WANTED CONNECTION HAS BEEN ADDED

DANTE ESPOSITO (JUSTIN BALDONI) is looking for his WIFE!

DANTE ESPOSITO (JUSTIN BALDONI) is looking for their WIFE. They should be 35 - 38, FEMALE, STAFF and look like Yael Grobglas, UTP. She can be Neutral or a DE supporter. They got married when they were young, it was a match chosen by their parents and since he had to break up with his girlfriend at the time, he did not open up with her at all, seeing the marriage as an inconvenience more than anything else. To the outside world they were a perfect family, but they were never happy. The only thing which held them together was their mutual love for their children, who they cared for and loved very dearly. He traveled a lot for his work and their life was spent pretending more than living, till last year he found he had another daughter with his ex and he decided he wanted his daughter in his life. She followed him to Hogwarts in the fear of their perfect family reputation going to be ruined  soon and wanting to avoid that at all costs. Or she could also already be working there. I am honestly very flexible with this connection, so if you hav different ideas, feel free to throw them at me! You DO have to contact @stefanxxnott​ before picking up this connection.

C O N T from @hcilpaimon​ || Dante (X)

Zach chuckled low in his throat as he observed the way Dante worked, always admiring the skill that people like him had when wielding some kind of weapon, especially the blade that he expertly twirled around his fingers. 

“Well, what can I say?” he replied, smirking as he felt grateful to Solomon Lane for allowing him to explore his full potential. “Yeah, that should be the last one. Thank fuck they finally shut up. The screams are great, but geez they’re not pleasant on the ears after a while.”

She’d been up early, but not early enough to be the only one awake, and so going to the pitch was just a tiny bit too risky; chances of someone finding her there were much too high for her liking. But there was a place in the woods near the Black Lake, a little clearing. Not incredibly big, but for someone who couldn’t even fly, this was more than enough. As soon as she got there, she accio’d the broom, but it took her some time until she tried anything. And once she did... nothing really happened. It took her a few times before she could finally kick off the ground. But seconds later, she just saw a flash of green, and lost control. It was her mind messing with her, and no matter how hard she tried, she always failed. At least, her fall wasn’t bad this time - maybe a small bruise? but nothing more than that. Still, Florence stayed on the ground, the broom on the ground not too far from her. “Fuck, FUCK.”

Send a word and I will write a drabble or headcanon based on it: PEACE                                              Dante & Adriana

Perhaps like Olivia said Dante should be content simply with being a quidditch player his daughter admired, or a teacher who could teach her the sport. Perhaps, despite knowing that his daughter wanted to get to know her real father, he should continue lying to her. He wanted to respect Olivia’s wishes, except as days passed it began to hurt him more and more, and after several long arguments with Olivia, and also with himself, he decided that Adriana needed to know who he really was. She was not a child after all, and Olivia had never given him a choice when it came to their kid’s life. She made all the decisions of Adriana’s childhood on her own, he owed her nothing. “There is something I need to tell you.” he said as Adriana made her way to practice that day as per usual. “You mother doesn't want me to tell you this, but you have to know. You have to--” A long pause when he wondered if perhaps he should back out when the other looked at him curiously. “I am your father. I’m sorry, I’m -- I should have told you sooner but.. yeah. That’s what I needed you to know.” He shrugged his shoulders and waited for her to take in all that he had told her and even with being nervous about how she would react, he could feel a sense on PEACE in finally being to interact with his daughter with nothing but complete truthfulness as opposed to having to lie through his teeth all these past weeks. @tashawrites​

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.

REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!

NAME: xander PRONOUNS: any pronouns. PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: discord! NAME OF MUSE(s): dante esposito / grisler

EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): i started rping on deviantart in 2011, before switching to the tumblr rp scene in 2012... meaning ive been in the rpcom for 10 years now. sad.

BEST EXPERIENCE: call me toxic or whatever one time i made an rp blog under an alias and just wrote with people from the tags outside of my circle at the time and honestly it was the most fun ive ever had on this website 

RP PET PEEVES/DEALBREAKERS:

i’m starting to get more and more disillusioned with tumblr speak/dashboard commentary because most times its not worth stressing over tbh. the only times i actively care is if genuinely dangerous shit is happening. also i find alot of it is just glaringly inauthentic to begin with so

don’t really dig entitled behaviour, rubs me the wrong way

bad communicators / people that always need to be right about everything like damn bitch chill! its never that serious

MUSE PREFERENCES FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: i tend to write lots of angst because miserable shit is just easier to dig up than the other two. i don’t really like writing nsfw often but this muse right here is very much a promiscuous little freak let me tell ya ! fluff stuff is cute in like bite sized amounts but happy stuff actively makes me cringe so

PLOTS OR MEMES: i am honestly terrible at both sorry idk i dont know how to balance shit in my head. need to get better at like plotting shit long term without feeling like im in a fixed contract :sob: as for memes i like them but sometimes i think the rpc forgets alot of times theres just nothing u can do with the memes they reblog. like what taylor swift lyric would my muse casually say in regular conversation. please be serious

about me and memes: alot of time i don’t send them in because i don’t want to intrude tbh KSNJSDND like memes feels like a minimum effort = maximum return type deal. ill only send like multiple in if we’re friends but if we’re moots i might send in one in once in a while

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: honestly idk. i like short replies because its easier for my attention span but also i look at long threads and im like woah. i want to do that so idk

BEST TIME TO WRITE: that cute little 11pm-4am period. do not @ me 

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): i sort of put in like little things based off my own experiences so i can like ... relate to them. but its never enough to tread on self insert territory because i would never have the gumption to do shit grisler does. but he is religiously traumatized just like me <3
