Also, I have an idea for a Buffy/Angel/Charmed kind of series where the justification is that on the turnover of X Mysterious Date that in some vague way, people's will/belief/concentration/other mind-stuff starts to manifest, creating a semi-mystical world in the modern era. You could explore why its happening, how people think, if this has happened before, drugs, blah blah blah.
Werewolves would be kinda like sigfried in that they made themselves believe they could turn into wolves.
Vampires kinda the same, but super powers.
Magical items would start appearing because of the ideas people hold about them.
Witches could perform tangible magic etc
RARELY monsters/demons appear from the collective unconscious.
THAT kind of fun stuff.
Character Concepts:
Dude that's kind of existentialist, atheist, tries to figure out why all this is happening. Has a sword that he has had for a long time and sorta kinda thinks its a part of his soul? Explores the concepts of what can really be considered evidence anymore, wants to have a soul but is afraid he doesn't have one. Can concentrate anger/hate/rage into his weapon and make it all hella cool and shit
Christian chick who has total faith in her god and is utterly "selfless," tries to help people as much as she can. Believes in redemption over all else. Explores what ideas of selflessness, compassion, the self and ego in relation to those ideals.
A man who believes he has an ever-thirting demon within him, kind of like a vampire but more like split-ish personalities but not really? Fighting the demon within, concepts that all things within you are part of the self, there is no "other", can there BE an other if you believe there is one?
On and on! Fun shit!
