The world is a very pretty place. Beauty sits above everything, with colors, lights, and magic everywhere. On top of this, human’s have created an even more perfect world, less beautiful, but more orderly. But this is all just one aspect of reality. When you get beyond the beauty, you see a savagery, a powerful and undeniable nature to the world which is still… attractive, but is not the simple perfection that we see all around us.

The werewolf is a creature of the inherent chaos in the world. It is a human, but one that has gone back, back beyond even the days of the caveman. The werewolf is an instinctual creature, one that runs with the pack simply because it feels right to do so.

This can lead to dangerous consequences. We can’t forget that in history, the werewolf is a monster, an enemy, a creature to be feared and killed. And yet we can understand them according to a different light. We can see within the idea of the werewolf, the idea of our own primal spirit.

We are animals, bound by our own sensibilities. Just beyond civilization is a mad crazy world of passion and power. This strange universe exists within each of us; it is our heritage, the nature that drives us on.

We can see this most clearly in art, which actually makes the werewolf an expression of the human condition. As people we are controlled in every situation. We have to restrain ourselves, hold on to the primitive passions which build up in us. Yet, this need has to be expressed. Art allows us to let the beast run free without having to worry about damage and trouble. It is catharsis for the beast within.

When you watch or read about these creatures, don’t merely accept them as evil. Instead understand the part of them that exists within you. Learn, grow, and become better, by using this cathartic agent, to allow your own spirit to roam the world, at least in this limited form.

The invention of social networking technology has given people new ways to communicate with one another. It is now common for pictures, videos, and in depth status updates to become part of the collective consciousness of their entire group of friends. While this is great for keeping up with people in the real world, it also provides a new medium for telling stories, battling fictional tales back and forth across the internet.

While most social networks are set up for real interactions, and actually frown upon role playing or fictional profiles, there are others such as http://www.RolePages.com that have been built and designed specifically to cater to these types of activities. Giving people a place to get their creative kicks.

The most common way people engage in this kind of storytelling is by assuming the role of fictional characters, either from books and media, or someone they made up themselves. They fill out their profile accordingly, uploading a picture of the character, and adding background information.

They then interact with other people, both real and imaginary. This is done most often through posting wall to wall, although sometimes pictures or videos can be used to fill out the story, making it a completely dimensional piece.

Often these interactions will also be supplemented by blogs, forums, and groups, which allow individual stories to be built, either one on one, or in a collaborative manner. Occasionally the site will also provide chat, or private messenger options, which will give the players the ability to act out scenes in real time.

The result is a creation which is looser, and more dynamic than a straight novel. It is an interactive piece, which is constantly growing and evolving; giving the players the chance to tell a story that will never end, with as many other people as they can get excited.

RolePages.com is a role playing social network that was developed to give people a place to interact, where they don’t have to be themselves. Player’s sign up for an account as a fictional character, then interact with other crazy mixed up creatures through a series of blogs, forums, chat rooms, pictures, videos, and groups.
