i'd have to go with silver bullet, the beast must die, or the original wolf man. suuuper cliche, I know, but !!

ALSO YOU'RE GONNA FIND OUT SOMETHING EVIL.. while I do technically have a werewolf story in the making with javi [very much riffing on werewolves on wheels meets like. scanners + metalbeast, I guess, if you need a frame of reference] called 'wolfsbane', I havent had much time to develop them cuz my priorities lie elsewhere creatively most of the time </3 I'm not the best when it comes to developing side stories, I have to be kicked into it LOL.

but I suppose to do a basic rundown of the characters I own IN that story, you have:

• charlie halker, the main character, who's turned into a werewolf in the early 70's under the guise of "rabies testing" at a shady government facility as an "exchange to avoid the draft", basically. despite it sounding too good to be true, he falls for it, and is pretty much dumped off & left to his own devices after experimentation has subsided and he's been squeezed of his use. guideless and on the road he meets up with a lawless & off-the-grid biker gang [i.e. "pack"] who've also been turned by the same source and have goals of exterminating him & his entire facility for what he turned them into. mousy looking guy, on the shorter side, beard & glasses. think hooper from jaws or bob balaban in altered states.

• richard "richie" murphy, the head of said government operation who has plans of making it big & selling off his "solution" to higher-ups to be used for "population control" once it's been perfected. secretly a werewolf himself, and neurotically addicted to the test-serum. catty, sweaty, bug-eyed, and usually found in meetings swearing out the nearest office worker who even looks at him the wrong way. in terms of appearance, think brad douriff, mid-to-late 90s' in glasses.

• alfred "alfie" decker. your typical meek & lousy underpaid office-worker type. was accidentally infected from a werewolf bite after safety protocols failed downstairs in the medical facility. after he's fired & paid hush-money, he's pretty much dropped from the project. still struggling to settle into his werewolf identity, embittered, he joins up with the pack, despite their... obvious personality differences. about as close in physical proximity as you can get to an "80's nerd"; pocket calculator and all.

• roadkill. no recollection of his real name. actual ex-vet; has no real memories of 'nam except in snippets and flashbacks when he sleeps. failed experiment dumped off on the edge of the city in the middle of the night to cover up for mistakes during early test stages. the walking, barking definition of a mangy mutt. looks pretty much like rick giovinazzo in combat shock.
