WOW!!! a reader who loves my comic!!! im touched, honestly... =)
well a quick background....
The story is based loosely on an RPG campaign that i ran a few years ago, which was based partly on Werewolf: the apocolypse and Vampire: the masqerade. I changed it alot though, and in the comic, im trying not to associate any of the stuff from the OFICIAL game, because i changed alot of it.
lets see....
Alison, is a werewolf, in wolf form she is a red wolf. yes, such a thing does exist, and no they are not related to foxes, any more then any other wolf. Richard is an ex-police officer, who left the force. (that part of the story is explained in chapter three... soon)
Stefan is a vampire, and high priest of the goddes of death (the lady with the bright light behind her) The goddess of death is not an evil being, just one of justice and changes... err... like the thing in princess mononoke... sort of... less life giving though....
So quickly now, the world we live in is called the godless lands, and has no gods of its own. It is linked to another existance called Nevermore which is full of gods and magic and fantastic creatures. One of the gods (er... chaotic type) found the godless lands and travelled to the forbidden place. He has very little power there, and needs to build a following to become a godlike god. Tagart (god of nature and werebeings) sent in the werewolves and other fantastic creatures to fight Lasi (las-EYE, one of the gods of chaos). BUT.... the werewolves are pack animals, and fight amongst each other, and start the kin-wars (about 1800ad) and this almost kills them all off. Some small groups sheltered in northern canada managed to survive, and are now continuing their fight.
Thats about as much as i can give you without ruining the story. Alot of what i have planned is based on whats going on. and some of the secrets everyone has. If you guys have questions, thats what the forum is for... =)
I have a page with a bit more information on it that im working on... sort of... it need serious re-writing which describes some of the background stuff in more detail. Ill get that section up as soon as possible.
btw: the guy in the chair at the end of chapter 1, is not Lasi.... and that thing that alison has is a klaive, its a magic weapon of the werewolves, a short sword, with a spirit bound to it. Usualy a war spirit, but not in this case... (cue dramatic music)
I hope i haven't spoiled everything for you guys.. =)
