Yuu Origin Assignment - The Missing Werewolf
Current Status: CRITICAL GAP
Yuu is listed as "origin TBD" despite having a major backstory connection to Asai. This werewolf destroyed Asai's tribe but has no home world assigned.
What We Know About Yuu
- Curse Type: Divine Curse/Beast Transformation
- Playstyle: Ranged human form, transforms to melee beast
- Role: Hybrid ADC/Melee
- Major Event: Destroyed Asai's welcoming tribe (intentional or accident?)
- Current Dynamic: Complex ally/enemy relationship with Asai
Origin World Options
Option 1: Jabay (Same world as Asai)
Pros:
- Makes the tribal destruction more personal/tragic
- Could be from a rival tribe or different settlement
- Explains detailed knowledge of Asai's people
- Creates local conflict within the jungle paradise
Cons:
- Jabay is described as peaceful "paradise" - doesn't fit curse origin
- Would need explanation for how paradise world creates werewolves
- Might undermine Jabay's peaceful nature
Details to Develop:
- Different settlement than Ise (maybe from Rodina mountain city?)
- Cursed by different divine force than Ina?
- Tribal warfare disrupting paradise?
Option 2: Mal (Hate world with Revier)
Pros:
- Hate world perfect for creating cursed beings
- Explains violent nature and loss of control
- Creates connection between Revier and Yuu (both from harsh world)
- Fits the "breeds hatred and conflict" description
Cons:
- Doesn't explain how Yuu reached Jabay to destroy tribe
- Would need travel/migration story
- Mal seems focused on survival, not supernatural curses
Details to Develop:
- Cursed by hate/rage itself?
- Fled Mal and ended up in Jabay?
- Connection to Revier's family line?
Option 3: Sant (Mystical realm with Iku)
Pros:
- Divine/mystical world perfect for supernatural curses
- Could tie into divine politics (Ina vs other gods)
- Explains powerful transformation magic
- Creates connection to Iku's divine heritage
Cons:
- Sant described as gas clouds - how do werewolves work there?
- Might make divine faction too large
- Would need explanation for reaching Jabay
Details to Develop:
- Cursed by rival god to Ina/Mutu?
- Sent to disrupt Ina's worshippers?
- Divine punishment or experiment gone wrong?
Option 4: Moc (Desert scarcity world)
Pros:
- Scarcity could drive desperate curse-seeking
- Resource competition explains violent nature
- Creates connection to other Moc heroes
- Desert survival skills explain reaching other worlds
Cons:
- Already has 4 assigned heroes
- Desert doesn't naturally suggest werewolf themes
- Would need creative explanation for curse origin
Option 5: Ola (Peaceful diversity world)
Pros:
- Diversity allows for supernatural elements
- Could be from monk settlement (Alafia) gone wrong
- Peaceful world corrupted by curse creates tragedy
- Government world (Mir) might have experimental programs
Cons:
- Two "peaceful" worlds seems redundant with Jabay
- Ola already has Pravada and Seroge assigned
- Doesn't fit established settlements well
Option 6: NEW WORLD - Cursed/Supernatural Realm
Pros:
- Perfect fit for werewolf origin
- Allows for other supernatural cursed heroes later
- No conflicts with existing world themes
- Creates recruitment source for horror/supernatural characters
Cons:
- Adds complexity to world count
- Would need full world development
- Might not be necessary if existing world works
Recommended Decision: Mal (Hate World)
Reasoning:
- Hate/rage environment perfect for creating loss-of-control curse
- Explains Yuu's violent capabilities and transformation triggers
- Creates connection with Revier (both Mal natives)
- Fits established world theme without contradicting it
- Provides travel motivation (fled cursed homeland)
Backstory Framework:
- Origin: Yuu was cursed on Mal (rage/hate triggered transformation)
- Flight: Fled Mal to escape the curse or persecution
- Arrival: Reached Jabay seeking peace/cure from Ina's followers
- Tragedy: Curse triggered during tribal welcome ceremony
- Guilt: Now haunted by destroying the people who tried to help
Character Arc: Redemption-seeking werewolf vs. God Slayer from same harsh world - two different responses to Mal's brutal environment.
