Alpha Black


This post is both a plot idea and a reinterpretation of a character concept

This is something I've wanted to put to paper for awhile but just haven't had the time or energy for proper planning. This OC is from an established universe that has sadly been explored to it's limit. However, this interpretation of the character stems from a "what if" scenario that deviates from the main canon. An alternate or parallel universe if you will. To touch a bit upon his original backstory, Black was born to a human sorceress and the alpha of a demonic wolf tribe and subsequently exiled from demon world for carrying the blood of a mortal. In the original plot, he could easily be mistaken for a flesh and blood human due to a curse placed upon his clan. This curse, performed by the hand of a powerful sorceress, had sealed any noticeable wolf features he carried into a purely wolf state, weakening him to an extent. Contrasting the pictured depiction below, he was now 'visually human' who could merely shapeshift into a wolf, which many considered to be a diluted mutation of his true form. Although he could find a bridge of sorts in the form of sharp canines and claws without fully transforming, the physical changes stopped there. More to the point, Black was often very dismissive of his duties as the next clan head/alpha, much preferring to toil away in expediting the growth of various species. But as fate would have it, you do not choose to be alpha or not, it chooses you through birthright. The 'alpha gene' is directly inherited through bloodline, and once a heir comes of age, it will spring into action and drastically warp the subject's demeanor into that of a ruthless dictator, or by the standards of demon world, a capable leader. Naturally, this was prevented in the OG plot, but that is precisely what brings me here. In addition to having Black embrace the gene, I've decided to discard the curse plotline altogether, granting him access to his ancient form. This will be a bit of an experiment since there's technically no morally good side here. (I'm addicted to antagonistic roles atm) The demon king will still despise him for his impure blood and Black will respond in kind with ambitions of seizing his throne no matter the costs. Pretty barebones for now but I open to ideas :D
