Teen Wolf Big Bang
New post because this is a fuck load of Story plot ideas.
So I was reading up on living fossils which are species that remain pretty much unchanged for a long period of time. They have, for all intents and purposes, stopped evolving. However, if they have like fifty billion subspecies they don't count, because THAT is a form of evolution. So cochroaches, which have existed for like three hundred and fifty million years (modern man has existed for about ninety thousand years, if that much - so yeah, THAT's a long time), don't count, because there's so many types of cochroaches.
And I was thinking, what if WE become a living fossil? What if we get to the point where we have improved upon ourselves so much that we are beyond evolution? And obviously humans are not at that point, but werewolves? They're kind of perfect. So I envisioned this world that is wrecked from an ice age, society and civilization is pretty much snuffed out. I'm not sure if the ice age did that, because I'm fairly sure humans will figure out a way to deal with it - we ARE more advanced than we were in the beginning, and in the beginning we dealt with an ice age (it is reckoned that neanderthals might have died out not because modern man took over their food source, but because they were unable to develop the tools to stitch together warm enough clothes fast enough, whereas modern man has been stitching together warm clothes for much of their existence) - or if we did that to ourselves, through pollution or nuclear war or whatever. We are reduced to this barbaric, fight for life reality, like what the neanderthals or what early modern man must have gone through, where they're not sure how many people exist in the world and there isn't an easy way to contact them and even if there were - they're not really into talking to other people. Every tribe of people is a dangerous, lethal threat that is just not to be trusted. We are, as modern man, reduced to cavemen. Or y'know - animals.
But there is this other species of humanoid creatures. And they're werewolves, or Lycaons as they are referred to as a whole. And they are sorta what modern man was to the neanderthals - they are our successors. But we're not at that point yet, we're not extinct yet, so we're sorta stuck coexisting for the tens of thousands of years or whatever it takes for them to finally drive us to that breaking point of extinction. And Stiles and Scott are in this tribe together. And Derek is a werewolf, in this other tribe, or pack. But I was thinking that since it's pretty much proven that even back in these cavemen like times, humans were known to kill an animal and eat it - and then take their orphaned offspring back with them, and raise them as pets. AND - for the last hundred and fifty years we have been breeding dogs to create our own breeds (eighty percent of the breeds of dogs that exist now did not exist in the 1700s). We interject what we want into a dog and then add the necessary breeds. In essence, we have figured out a way to create a living weapon, should that be what we want to use it for. So what if humans have been doing this with wild wolves? Taking them as pets and then interbreeding them to create this bigger, better, faster, stronger, more lethal pet weapons? Recreate direwolves. And these are the competitions that we have knowingly created for werewolves, in our attempt to just make it to see tomorrow. And with these direwolves, Stiles's tribe catches Derek, separates him from his pack and then go on to use him as their own superweapon to catch bigger and better game. Until one night Stiles is struck by his unfailing human empathy and he sets Derek loose. And that's how the story kicks off; because somewhere along the way Derek has gotten injured hunting for us, and Stiles forces his help down Derek's throat by insisting he help him find his pack.
And I'm thinking about inserting this other subspecies of humans. Ones that have reacted to the diving temperatures by withdrawing into the earth, into these entire cities - this entire world - that was forgotten and buried beneath snow and the ever evolving earth. An entire modern world that has been forgotten by a world that has lost its history and was born not really ever having known it was even there. And this species started out as modern man but since it was separated from everybody else, it continued to evolve on its own. It didn't have to go back to the beginning of existence - like Stiles and Scott's people did. It could take from the world that we left behind and start from there. And the world they create is going to look a whole lot like Steampunk. And Lydia will be amongst this society.
But I also intend to include Jackson. This is going to end up like Lord of the Rings. Where you have this group of people all marching forward and braving the wilderness and people and very lethal animals to get to this one single point, and in the end only two of them will ever really make it because this is a journey for all of them, but they each have a different journey to make.
I've entertained about twenty plots for the big bang, but I'm fairly pretty freaking sure this one it's.
