So I thought this might be a fun diversion and/or a source of inspiration for Beast, and figured I'd see if anyone would also have fun with it. The game is called "Guess that Beast". Here's how it works:
Family & Hunger: Namtaru Tyrant
He thought he'd achieved a good balance, living as a Beast. His job as a sewer worker in suburban Maine gave him plenty of seclusion, and with his particular Atavisms, he could get anywhere in town unnoticed in an emergency using the tunnel network. When he needed to feed, there were always kids poking around where they shouldn't, and using some monstrous guise to terrify them would always satisfy his Hunger for a while. The braver ones learned to face their inner fears, and the rest learned not to go hanging around dangerous spots. Everything was working out perfectly.
Operative word: was. The latest kid to go poking around a storm drain entrance fell and hurt his arm pretty badly while scrambling to get away, and now a group of the older children were organizing themselves and looking for the "monster" he'd seen. He knew he needed to scare them off quick, before they found his Lair and forced a confrontation...
Answer:
What are your re-imagined characters?
- Write up a monster from any work of popular fiction as a Beast you might encounter in the World of Darkness. You don't have to be 100% with the details - after all, the original stories were written by Heroes with their own agendas! - but try to make it recognizable enough that others would be able to guess.
- Try to guess the original monster based on other people's write-ups without looking at an answer.
- If you guess correctly, congratulations, you get points! You can't exchange them for anything but you can feel good about yourself knowing you have them.
