Werewolf by Night
Concept- Take elements of H.P. Lovecraft and Native plus Norse mythology to tell the story of a werewolf other than Jack Russell. It will be about a new character by the name of Noren Grimm who seeks the werewolfism out himself. Rather than the traditional change, the wolf would climb out of Noren's skin whenever the change occurs. The series would look into wolves and their culture, religion, ethics...society plus how a person like this would thrive in a world of today.
Premise- Noren Grimm has always done things on his own, single child of a single mother, went to college with none of his friends, always single and even has a rare disease which slowed his aging process and physical development. In his Junior year of college he suffers a mild breakdown during a drug trip. It leaves him with what could be hallucinations of another world unveiling around him. This is a world where "The Weird Sisters" are still at large and a strange traveling caravan hustles warped miracles. On his 21st birthday, Noren Grimm makes a deal with the leader of the caravan, drunkenly taking on the werewolf curse in exchange for the cure to his disease. This sparks a chain reaction of the events which count down to Noren's death.
Pretty sweet I like the native american angle.
Main Rogues-
The Unit of Area 13 - Area 51 is the cover up, for what they hide from you about space, Area 13 is the place for what they hide from you about the Earth itself. This team of researchers is hunting Devilin Dark in hopes of studying him and cracking the genetic code for his ability to change. They dabble in everything and have even begun trying to use Dr. Strange to tap into other planes for perpetual energy.
Honestly don't get it.
Morbius- After all, it IS a horror comic and what would it be without Morbius? For Noren Grimm, Michael Morbius is the threat looming over the world that goes unnoticed. We find that he has been responsible for a rise in kidnappings in the Michigan area, but is less of a villain. He feels as if he is a force of nature, rather than a freak, sent here to help keep man in check. Morbius is also responsible for the massacre which occurred on the gypsy caravan when Devilin Dark was first turned.
Jack Russell- when Jack Russell finally appears he is a drunk somewhere in Romania who frequently mourns the wolf curse he once had. Now that he is without it, after a deal with Morbius, he believes that it was a gift and regrets his rejection of it. Jack somehow eventually meets Devilin Dark and tries to take the gift back from Devilin Dark.
The Thing in the Deep- there is a monster deep in the forest which only wild things know about. This is the thing that scares people when they see the dark woods. Dark first encounters in his journeys to other wolf packs to learn their stories.
Supporting Cast-
Victor Von Doom- believes Dark sees something deeper in the universe as a wolf and takes it upon himself to talk with him. The two develop a friendship built on respect to the point that they sit and share their ideas about the occult and argue theories.
Dr. Strange- thinks Dark rushed too far into this too fast and lingers more to caution him with Stamford in the back of his mind.
Rhane Sinclair/ Wolfsbane- really, I like what David is doing with her in X-Factor right now and would love to see her get swept into this whole thing too. It would be a good way to look at wolf culture and whether or not she even has a true place in the canine world, not to mention Devilin Dark would need a love interest of sorts.
