Heroes as Monster Tamers, Rules Ideas

[The young man in the cafe]

So... Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad?

Kind of. She is not officially sanctioned by anyone in the government but otherwise, she is basically Waller. The fact that Savannah's gang crime has recently gotten so bad that the state patrol has been asked to intervene may give her sanction to go after the gangs with her collared beasts though.

Come to think of it, there's actually a lot of stories / legends that feature monsters siding with humans and turning on their own kind.


Trinity Blood - In which Abel Nightroad (aka, Father Abel) is a scientifically augmented vampire who feeds on the blood of other vampires.


Pokemon - In which monsters are captured and trained to fight their own kind so that they too may be captured and forced to fight alongside humans.


Castlevania - In which Count "motherfucking" Dracula is eventually reincarnated as a human (Soma Cruz) and struggles against his own soul to prevent his evil from resurfacing.


Spawn - In which Al Simons is conscripted into the army of hell as a general (the Hellspawn), but ends up turning on his demonic masters


Disney's Gargoyles - In which the outwardly terrifying monsters dedicate themselves to protecting the people of Manhattan each night from threats both magical and mundane.


These are just ones I can think of off the top of my head, but they all work as plausible examples.

Some of the temples where the challenges the tamers complete to get new tamer gifts are heldare similar to the gyms in pokemon, the tamer's beasts fights a brood of beasts collared by a legendary tamer, others are more like obstacle courses with puzzle elements (dungeons in other words). and yes, some beasts let tamers collar them so they can hunt their own kind

Thinking of doing some more work on this, by adding a write up of how the challenges work as soon I can get my desktop connected the internet (right now I am on my mom's laptop which is bad for long term typing), but in the meantime, why don't you folks give me suggestions for tamer hero gifts that I can add to the gift post?
