Werewolf and Puppy AU -- Notes
Just some world-building notes for the Werewolf AU.
Werewolf [healthy family version]
The vast majority of werewolves have inherited their werewolfism, and are raised in happy, close-knit families that tend to live in small rural towns, where if everyone isn’t a wolf, everyone is at least first cousins with one. A werewolf raised in this setting is sensible, in control of themselves even during a full-moon (ie won’t be chasing the neighbor’s chickens or sheep), and generally a happy, family-orientated individual. Werewolves are incredibly family orientated, and will happily adopt every friend of their children as part of the ‘pack’ and sometimes just outright adopt lost children.
Children who don’t turn out to be werewolves are still members of the families, though rather like a tone-deaf person in a family of singers, they might feel out of place and out of step. Some of them leave, but many go to get an education, come back, and become necessary parts of the local society by becoming doctors, teachers, any profession that might need a university education that wouldn’t mesh well with being fur for several days each month (though really determined young wolves go to higher education on a regular basis, it’s just awkward, and occasionally nerve-wracking).
There are also were-people who don’t turn into wolves. Coyotes are fairly common, while coati, jaguars, dogs, ocelots, javelinas, and even owls are known. Atypical weres are sometimes teased about it, but the ones with smaller forms travel more easily in the regular world, so are welcomed. Jaguars are generally aloof sorts to start with, and get along fine, though they need even more room to their lonesome than the typical wolf pack.
Werewolf [bitten, but okay]
Some wolves become wolves through a bite, though that’s much more rare nowadays; it’s a hard disease to catch, like leprosy (many people are immune, but a lot more just don’t survive the initial fever). Most people who survive the bite don’t take well to sprouting fur three or four days a month, and bitten wolves are generally in poor control of themselves. If they’re lucky, they meet more experienced wolves -- or people born wolves -- and have a mentor to help them get used to their new life. Psychiatric problems are more common in bitten wolves, because it’s a hell of a life change. They’re usually not a danger to people, unless they were already of that bent, but they’re likely to raid their neighbor’s chickens without considering the consequences.
Werewolf [bitten, Immortals]
The actual monstrous werewolves -- the ones that don’t age, can shrug off multiple gunshots, and kill a lot of innocent humans. This strain of werewolfism freezes a person at the age they were when they were bit, gives them ridiculous healing abilities, is highly infectious and usually fatal, and has pronounced physical symptoms (unibrow, hairy ears, unnatural eye colors, noticeable eyeshine, non-human hair color (brindle, silver-tipped, etc), fangs, index and middle finger the same length, etc). It also comes with some unusual abilities, which may include the ability to smell lies, to charm animals, control *other* werewolves’ transformations, ability to transform outside of the full moon, etc.
The drawback is that almost all of the Immortals eventually go crazy, usually sometime before their 10th decade as a wolf, usually violently so. Healthy werewolf families will kill a crazed Immortal just so that the Immortal doesn’t draw attention to the families. Sometimes it’s a race between the sane werewolves and werewolf-hunters to track down an Immortal and kill them; the sane werewolves are hampered by the fact that they don’t want to draw too much attention to themselves, and the hunters are hampered because they generally didn’t know anything about the Immortal before that werewolf started killing people. At least when werewolves kill Immortals, they know what they’re doing and make it a fast decapitation; hunters usually don’t, and make it horrific.
They’re also infectious even to other werewolves, so there is a weird set of purity codes that werewolves follow when interacting with Immortals -- separate dishes, strict handwashing, pregnant and new mothers keeping distance -- that looks very much like shunning and cruelty from the outside. Immortals who have acculturated (or ones who were born wolves before they were infected with Immortality) obey the rules, and the ones for interacting with regular humans (no violence unless defending the pack); Immortals who aren’t part of the werewolf community don’t, and get judged for it.
And when a werewolf pack, or a clan made of several packs, judges you’ll be a danger to them, it’s not long before they are a danger to you.
Werewolf [subculture]
Most werewolves live in rural, agricultural communities, with livestock ranching being a popular occupation -- it’s an excuse to live on a large amount of land far away from people; ideal for werewolves, who really like to have some isolated land to go camping on and howl at the moon.
Healthy werewolf families function as families and extended clan networks. Exogamy is encouraged, and bitten, sane werewolves are adopted and married in as often as they can be convinced to.
Immortals are both valued (they’re nigh indestructible killing machines; extremely useful against hunters) and marginalized (they’re nigh indestructible killing machines, and they will eventually go crazy). There will only be 2 or 3 Immortals in any community. They’re welcome in everyone’s home as a guest, but never adopted or married in, and if they wind up marrying each other, they’re going to be pressured not to have kids. Most Immortals wind up with a nickname/byname as it’s considered bad luck to be on a first name basis with someone you might have to execute for the good of the community someday.
Every werewolf community has a Tomb of the Immortals were the remains of slain Immortals are kept -- an ossuary. It’s part communal mourning space and part honoring people who were marginalized in life but performed a valuable service to the community. The skulls are prominently displayed with their nickname, name, and years of service painted on them -- skulls, because Immortals are almost always killed by decapitation, and the head usually reverts to human even if the body doesn’t.
[note: once Miguel gets enrolled in school in the werewolf town, some of his classmates play a mean prank on him that involves him getting locked in the local Tomb.]
Characters --Santa Cecilia The Riveras (shoemakers by day, werewolf hunters by appointment)
Imelda Rivera -- family mariarch, widow, who got both sides of the family business started after her husband was killed by a marauding werewolf in 1942.
Coco Rivera -- Imelda’s eldesr daughter, Miguel’s grandmother
Victoria Rivera -- Coco’s daughter, unmarried
Enrique Rivera -- Coco’s son, married, Miguel’s father
Luisa Rivera -- Enrique’s wife, currently pregnant
Miguel Rivera -- our were-puppy
Elena Rivera -- Imelda’s younger daughter, Miguel’s great-aunt; born posthumous to her father’s death
Berto Rivera -- Elena’s son, married
Carmen Rivera -- Berto’s wife
Abel, Rosa, Manny, Benny --- their kids (Miguel’s second cousins)
Gloria Rivera -- Elena’s daughter, unmarried
San Luis de (something or other) -- Werewolf community Miguel winds up at (mostly LoD character from canon, some OCs)
‘Regular’ Werewolves
Tia Chelo --
Cece --
Gustavo -
Chicharron -- grumpy old coot, but has a van and is part of the group Miguel first encounters when he runs away. (Immortal? Maybe?)
Nice Family (OCs -- needs name) -- the family that keep trying to take Miguel in, but he’d rather stay with the ditzy Immortal who might be vague and not quite sure what year it is (and way more fond of chapulines than Miguel is!) but smells like family.
Immortals
La Retratista -- Frida Kahlo, (can smell lies), as long as she has paint and art, she’s content. paints most of the portraits that have wind up on ofrendas. She and Hector are close friends, both being old Immortals. Deeply respected in town.
El Cuervo Viejo-- Hector Rivera, (can charm animals, control other’s transformations); has a lot more guitars than any one person needs, including a dead ringer for the famous white guitar that was stolen from movie star and musician Ernesto de la Cruz in 1963. Plays music beautifully, sings like a crow because of how he was bitten (legs, disemboweled, then throat -- horrific scars that he covers with shirt, long trousers, and a neckerchief -- Ernesto legitimately thought he was dead). Is becoming vague, which is often the first step to turning ‘rabid’.
La Lechuza -- Lucia Guzman (OC), (can charm humans) born a wolf, was infected with Immortality by someone who should have known better and may have had slipping judgement due to oncoming dementia -- he was executed, Lucia was sent to a different community; it feels a lot like exile to her, but even she doesn’t want her siblings to have to decide to kill her someday
