You wake up in your cabin in the woods. You sit up and scratch some fleas that have infested your body. You also realize its still daylight. You hate waking up early.

You lope into the bathroom and look in the mirror where you see a canine face covered in gray fur, you remember a time when your fur was completely brown.

"You're getting old Wolf" you say to yourself like you always do while trying to look on the bright side that at least you don't have the mange. You think you'd just put a silver bullet in your head if you ever started to go bald.

After eating some left over mutton in the fridge and some Gummy Blobs (for the sugar "pick me up") you ponder how you're going to pay this month's rent on your cabin. You call your agent Erik and see if that little pissant has found any work for you. Hopefully it's an actual job and not just a guest speaker spot at a comic convention.

"Erik! It's me Wolf! Pick up the fucking phone! I know you're there!" you say when you get the answering machine.

"Erik! Get on the phone NOW, or I'm gonna go over there and shove a pipe organ up your ass!"

That got his attention.

"Wolf, I'm sorry, but I fear I'm in a deep depression."
"What else is new? Look I need some work, got anything? I don't even care if it's straight to video. I just need some of the green stuff!"
"Sadly, I don't think I do, but then I haven't really checked…I'm so depressed. I've been wondering if I made the right decisions in my life…and now it's too late for me to do anything about it, because I'm old…"
"Join the fucking club Erik! Look do you…"
"But my art, my music, that is my love and its failing me again. My latest opera isn't doing well. I wonder if I chose the wrong thing to love and pursue. Just like I did with Christine. Oh Christine WHY couldn't you have loved me? I loved you…"

Wonderful, he's in full blown tortured artist mode. He can go on like this forever. You can either give up, or persist in getting something out of him.

The Werewolf: You AKA Wolf

The Werewolves nowadays are spoiled, but you are the last of the "True" Werewolves. The Alpha Wolf. The one who terrorized the wilderness and entire countrysides. Oh sure MAYBE you didn't have a fancy accent like that damn aristocratic bloodsucker, but damn it YOU didn't have the privilege of coming from money. You started from nothing and pulled yourself up from nothing to become a star.

You just wish you'd invested your money better, and hadn't gotten married and…well a whole bunch of things really.

Sometimes you think about transforming into a human and living like a normal person, but you were never one to pretend. You're a monster and you'll DIE a monster.

Besides you're more noticeable in your Wolf form even if you aren't properly feared anymore. If you're lucky you'll get some human asking you for your autograph.

At least it's something.

It doesn't pay the bills on this humble cabin though. You need to make some money or you'll be scrounging around in the forests like when you were a young pup. Not that you can't survive, but you're really accustomed to your "human comforts" now.

Damn civilization has had a domesticating effect on you.

But you're still the Alpha Wolf damn it.
