First: Please actually read this. Second: Um... There is no second.
Anyway I am bored and I recently got into studying werewolves and vampires and other supernatural beings. I want to make a roleplay about them. I want to try to change this cliche idea into something somewhat original. I have no idea for the actual roleplay other than the fact it would take place in modern days and in an isolated area. Few people would go here, which would affect their beliefs and knowledge on certain aspects. There would also be links to the past and supernatural occurances. Any ideas?
T_T This isn't going to be like twilight. I want to do a roleplay without all the moern cliches. |

@arud
overused things can be used creatively
in fact, slenderman is a boring guy
his whole thing is basically already made up
and there isn't much to do with him
i can try and do this werewolf/vampire/supernatural thing
but i'm not sure which ones you're aiming for
the feral ones or the more human-like ones? |

You didn't even read it. I am trying to turn the cliche idea into something somewhat original. That is why I wanted to collab with people. And I was going for the feral ones. |

For which? I am still researching lycanthropy, werewolves, and stuff. I am trying to find out which are over used and which aren't. |

Well all that I heard that has to do with it is: Lycanthropy is the supernatural condition whereby a human transforms into a wolf. If an afflicted person transforms into another type of animal, the correct term for their condition is therianthropy. A Theriomorph is a shapeshifter; a being who can assume an animal as well as a human form. A spiritual theriomorph is someone who at least sees aspects of animals in his or her personality and actions, and those aspects shape who he or she is. Theriomorphic \'thir-e-o-'mor-fik adj (GK theriomorphos, fr. therion beast + morphe form - more at treacle): having an animal form [gods]
Its interesting... For the were-dragon thing. Maybe.. Probably not though. It seems to have to many fantasy elements for me, this is meant to be a mostly supernatural roleplay.
For the weaknesses. Well I was thinking that for werewolves we take away the weaknesses that have to do with Christianity and stuff, some werewolves have those. It doesn't make sense. We could also keep the silver hurting werewolves, it just shouldn't kill them. It could kill them but decapitation and destroying the brain/ heart seems more realistic. Silver is just... Weird. Did you know that some people believe that mercury actually hurt werewolves, not silver? |

| Describe the were-dragons then. How does a person change into one? Are they infected. If you can do a good job describing it it may be put in. |

| The were-dragons would be a lot like the werewolves, but the people turn into humanoid dragons. The way the dragon form looks varies. |

sounds closer to demons
a were-dragon would be someone who actually fully turns into a dragon |

| It still doesn't seem like a good idea so there are no were-dragons. |

| Do you guys have any idea for the plot or a way to change the classic vampires and werewolves into something somewhat original? |

Well the roleplay needs a plot. I have no idea what it could be though... All I know is that it should center around an old town that is isolated from the human world. The only thing I can think of is adding a battle, but that is because I had a dream that was centered around werewolves, the devil, me, and a battle. I am attempting to decode that dream. |

oh, for some reason i thought you were asking how to specifically make the creatures non-cliche
i'm not exactly sure, what you're asking for keeps driving me back to things that have already been done before, even though i have no problem with unoriginal roleplays
i guess seeing the town could rely on how vulnerable the victim is mentally
