I'm very excited about the Beast the Primordial, especially the amount of room that the Families allow for creating some unique characters and concepts. Most of the examples of Souls in the pdf are solid; Great cats, tentacles sea creatures, huge serpents, spider, giants and dragons all harken back to ancient fears real and imagined. But the game taking place in a modern setting, I started to wonder about newer but prevalent icons for fear.
I thought about effectively technological versions of these ancient creatures, which in my mind amount to rather pathetic looking "b" movie cyborg monsters with lawn more blade hands and gear mouths. Then it occurred to me I was trying to anthropomorphize technology and that was completely missing the point of how awesomely open the Families are. They don't have to be humanoid or animals or even imaginary creature they can be anything and Steven King already gave us a great example.
Christine; yes your soul take the form of a murderous 1958 Plymouth Fury(Anakim, Hungry for Prey). Driving along the sections of highways and back roads that make up your lair. Now I realize this might not be work thematically or stylistically with everyone game, but it has gotten me excited for discovering some really out of the box ideas for Beast!
So, I'd love to hear people ideas for Beast's Souls. Whether taken from books and movies or your own creations!
