Honestly, I have a selection of characters that could go in to this. Is there preferences towards human, were, vampire, or soon-to-be-turned-either? Hell, I can even add in side characters (I'm a world builder, just as a warning... if that can be considered a bad thing).
Or would you rather me just list everything that's skimming on the top of my brain water and you guys see who or what you like?
And what, exactly would be twilight esque about this? If there's no glittering or other stupid faggotry of the burning twigs kind (because that stuff SHOULD be burned)? Otherwise I would just call this Modern Urban Fantasy.
Mainly just wondering because I was never able to get past the first two paragraphs of the books. So I need to know what aspects exactly I may have to look up.
I love that idea. Side characters are great and I'd probably have a few of my own (her parents, at least).
Basically, I'm interested in Twilight (the shape shifter aspect, not the vamp) and was approached about doing it with the stipulation that none of the main characters be used, so this would be in the near future after everyone's either dead or moved away for whatever reasons. That being said, Forks and the surrounding areas are already a good setting we can use and not have to worry so much about making up crap to go along with the story. Forks is a little po-dunk town near the ocean. Down a ways is the Quileute reservation in La Push. Closer to civilization and quite a bit larger is the city of Port Angeles.
The only thing you really need to know is that all of the "werewolves" are actually shape shifters that can only change into wolves because it was a gift bestowed upon them by the moon.
Our vamps will be basically the same (able to come out during the day, though they avoid direct sunlight and don't want to be seen outside around the noon hour, they are incredibly strong and fast, and a few have special abilities such as telepathy, precognition, etc.), but they won't glitter in daylight.
Other aspects- humans aren't supposed to know about vamps. If they do, the Vulturi will come after them and/or the vamps that let it slip. At that point either the human has to die or be turned. So, Vulturi (the reigning vamps from Italy and enforcers of all vampire related rules) are free game- OC only.
While site rules say that you can have a character as young as 13, I would prefer no characters under the age of 16, as that is the age of consent in the majority of the U.S., not to mention in the Twi-world, it's a deadly offense that will get the Vulturi on your ass (child turning is a no-no since they are harder to control and don't have as much control over their emotions or hunger). I'm assuming most of the characters are going to be teens, probably in high school, though I would appreciate if some could be college age or may adults in the community. Also, if we could have wolves be from the reservation, rather than Forks, that would be great. Though, they can commute to Forks for school if they don't like the schooling system there or want to have more interaction with the outside world.
One other thing about the wolves- they have the ability to "imprint" on a person, meaning when they find their soul mate, they instantly fall in love with them and will do anything and everything to protect them.
