This will such a lovely group to have dinner with. But since everyone is so screwed they might work together better than could be expected. Since I will be busy the whole day tomorow I'll throw in my concept now. I just hope I can match the "charm" of the rest <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />It's a reused concept from an older game that lasted only for one chapter so anyone who played in Karl Green's Hellboy game might regocnize this nice girl.The heavy steel door opened slowly, squeaking in protest. Two men stepped in and it shut after them. From the inside they could here heavy bolts being set in place. It did indeed sound like a final closing and younger man looked around nervously. The old guard held a calming hand on his shoulder."Don't worry boy, she's tame, didn't have an incident in a dozen years."The younger man just shrugged and looked around. Instead of the cell he would have expected behind the door with was a stone cave and a pretty big one at that. He could see tunnels spreading from this main cave in five directions just at first glance."If she is to be of any use to us we don't need her tame. Your reports said this is still a dangerous prisoner."He takes another look around."And why is this place so huge?"The old guard just shrugs again."You just worry 'cause your suit looks out of place here. You desk people are all the same. What did ye think? We've been holding her fer longer then you lived and animals need place to run. She's more happy and we don't loose people then she's not agitated."Brushing some falling dust from his brand new leather jacket the young man steps into the nearest tunnel just to show he is not affraid."Comfort for prisoners is not our priority. How dangerous can someone be after so many years in here? I'm sure this is a waste of..."He stops in midsentece then his foot gets stuck in the remains of some animal. In the darkness it is not easy to make out but it looks suspiciously like a deer. "She didn't kill that did she?"Again the old guard just has a shrug for him."Sure did. We throw in some wild beasts here so she can knock herself out killing them. Needs that every few month or goes into a real frenzy. Not nice to see that."With an effort the younger man pulls his foot out of the remains."You feed her with living animals Mr Taggert?""Sure we do, she hunts it down so fast you can't even see it sometimes. Some guys have used this to get rid of unwanted pets that way too. Don't ye give me that look, she wants it that way. Doesn't even touch dead food. Sometimes eats some salad and vegetables though, I guess that's the human part.""You sound very comfortable considering that she killed three guardsmen in her time here.""Told you it's different now. Caged animals and stuff. Plus you just have to show some respect then everything is fine. Lia!!!"The younger man nearly drops his briefcase as Mr Taggerts shout. It is followed by a moment of uncomfortable silence. The old guard relaxes and leans on the cave wall while his companions eyes dart around nervously, trying to make out more in the gloom. At first he doesn't see a thing but then a figure emerges from the darkness. It is about the height of his waist and strolls along on four legs. Before he can get a better look the form changes. The sound of breaking bones rings through the place and fur draws back as the creature changes form. It sure must be painfull but it never looses stride, now coming forward on just two legs. Then it finally steps into the light it is a women in her early thirties. Her face looks quite young but her long grey and silver hair make her appear somehwat older. She is wearing simple grey pants and shirt and walks barefoot on the cold stone. The most remarkable thing is the fresh blood running down her chin and her soft smile reveals  some more on her teeth. Her voice despite being friendly allways sounds like a soft growl lies behind it."Guten Tag meine Herren. Mr Taggert, I have just eaten but if that is for me it is much appreciated. I would have prefered a women though, you know my tastes."The young man grows pale there he stands while the guard just laughs."Is that a way to treat your first visitor Lia? This is Mr Granson and he insisted to speak to you personaly."Her smile grows broader at that."Now how could it be more interesting than the chance to finally hunt some real prey."To his credit the young man catches himself fast and speaks with more authority than any of the other two would have expected from him."Ms Schneider I will not tolerate any more of your threats. I come with a propasal but that is much too good for the likes of you but if you continue to act like this I will just leave and let you rot in this cave. How long have you been here? Alomost twenty years I have been told. I am your only chance to avoid doing it all over again. How long can you expect to live? Another hundred years perhaps? I don't think you want to spend a whole century as a prisoner. And all this..."He waves around the cave"Is just generosity from the state. We could arrange to have you put in a cell with about two meters in each direction for the rest of your life. Or just execute you like you derserve anyway. Have I made myself clear?"She growls and long canine fangs slide out, spreading her mouth slighty open but she even takes a step backwards before she sits down crosslegged on the floor."I'm listening."With a casualy flick of his hand he throws a glittering object in her direction. She almost catches it before she notices it is silver. Her eyes glow in a soft yellow as she adapts them to the darkness. And she almsot can't believe they are working as they should. In the dirt right in front of her lies a throwing knifes with spread falcon wings adorning it's handle. The weapons Darkstrike, her arch nemesis from so long ago used."My employer is willing to offer you a deal. He still as a lot of connection and if he pulls enough strings with old friends you just might get out of here. Under certain conditions of course.""What conditions?""Someone needs to be found and while time is not kind to most people it seems to leave you remarkably unaffected."She just glares at the young man from the ground."You miserable misfits want me to be your hunting dog."Now it is his turn to smile."Now didn't you do that job before?"Again she just stares at him but in the end she shrugs and her shoulders sink down in resignation."You win drecksack."Powers: Lia is a werewolf, giving her slightly increased strengh, speed and endurance. Basicaly she can do the usualy vigilantee stuff. Run on rooftops and beat up bad guys. She can also change into the form of a huge gray wolf but that's just for show and special effects. She ages slowly but that porbably won't have any ingame effect either.Concept: Vigilantee on a leash. Lia has been released by the urging of her past enemy, the hero Darkstrike. His daughter was taken hostage by some simple old robbers and to his dismay he found that none of his old contacts still had the edge to solve the problem. In the end he was so desperate he turned to his enemy. A good judge of character he asumed she might actualy have learned something in her time in prison and thankfully was proven right. She caught the girl back and now the two have an "agreement". She stays free and lives out her urge to hunt on the criminal underground of nocturne city. The basic idea is a twisted version of the mentor-hero relationship you see in series like Batman Beyond or Birds of Prey. Lia is not a murdering monster but she once was one and still isn't the nicest person you could meet. But she actualy starts to like helping people and it certainly beats prison. She's wearing a special necklace that Darkstrike uses to communicate with her and help her out with information and which he could of course use to track her and have the cops on her tail if she decides to go rogue.quotes: A black dressed women leaps from a rooftop and knocks out a thug as she lands. Her hand goes to her necklace and her silent voice speaks through hte receiver in her ear."Ok, the guards should be right behind the next door, remember, they are not involved so no injuries. We don't hurt innocents.""You don't.""Oh yeah and Steffanie was asking if you want to come watch a movie with her tuesday.""Do you have to ruin my bad guy routine like that?""Don't think I appreciate that my kids going out with someone like you either. But face it no one buys your monster act anymore."She can't help but smile."One day I'll eat her just to prove you wrong. But in the meantime I'll settle for kicking some drug dealer buts. At least their kind is still affraid of me."</blockquote>
