If you like Jim Butcher&#8217;s Dresden\u00a0Files, you might\u00a0enjoy the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hurog.com\/books\/\">Mercyverse<\/a> (14 novels, 5 graphic novels, and several short stories). Ms. Briggs&#8217; takes on werewolves, fairies, vampires, and magic\u00a0are very different from Mr. Butcher&#8217;s, however.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes Athena Thompson is the daughter of a rodeo barrel-racing queen turned suburban-mom-and-wife and the late Blackfeet bullrider and vampire hunter Joe Old Coyote (AKA Coyote the Trickster of Native American myths). From infancy&#8211;when she\u00a0started turning into a coyote cub&#8211;to age 16, Mercy was raised by the pack of the Marrok, North America&#8217;s most powerful werewolf, &#8220;The Alpha of Alphas,&#8221; in effect. She had to be stubborn, defiant, and\u00a0<em>tough<\/em>\u00a0to survive that upbringing.<\/p>\n<p>Mercy, it turns out, is\u00a0a\u00a0&#8220;walker&#8221;&#8211;someone who can shift into the form of one of the sentient creatures of Native American myth&#8211;Raven, Thunderbird, Coyote, etc. (For those who know their Native American mythology, this is not a &#8220;Skinwalker,&#8221; an evil witch who uses an animal skin to shift.)<\/p>\n<p>After college, Mercy moved to the Tri-Cities of Washington, eventually becoming the apprentice of an infamous Fae weaponsmith turned VW mechanic and buying his shop. Mercy was hoping to evade the meddling of both her Mom and the Marrok in her new town. Unfortunately, she ended up literally next door to another Alpha werewolf, Adam Hauptmann, and his pack&#8211;and discovered the deadly and desirable Adam had been ordered by the Marrok to keep an eye on her.<\/p>\n<p>Which Adam does by declaring Mercy his mate, without telling her, much less a by-your-leave. (Because Alpha Werewolves don&#8217;t ask people, they order them around.) Sparks&#8211;whole bonfires&#8211;of anger, dismay, and attraction are the result. Plus\u00a0Mercy\u00a0and Adam have to deal with everything from his pack\u00a0resenting a coyote in their territory to vampire plots to the Marrok&#8217;s plan to have the werewolves follow the Fae&#8217;s example and admit their existence to the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design Notes:<\/strong> This version of Mercy is based on the earlier novels, before she finds out Old Coyote (pronounced K\u012b oat) is an avatar of Coyote and before she accepts Adam&#8217;s proposal to become wife and mate. This makes her Aspects a little less powerful or easier to compel against her. For example, it is easier for the werewolves to make trouble for her using pack bonds because she doesn&#8217;t really know it works on her.<\/p>\n<p>I found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evilhat.com\/store\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=221&amp;zenid=sdv6p6ts3j7pb664or7ooqmim3\">Fate Core<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evilhat.com\/store\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=222&amp;zenid=sdv6p6ts3j7pb664or7ooqmim3\">Fate Accelerated<\/a>\u00a0both ideal for statting Mercy, due to the flexibility and emphasis on narrative&#8211;as well as having some\u00a0familiarity with those systems. You can probably use your favorite\u00a0modern or superhero ruleset for a Mercy-inspired character (or a Mercyverse campaign!) as long as there are rules for magic, shapeshifting, and supernatural tropes.<\/p>\n<p>It might\u00a0also be possible to use either <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evilhat.com\/home\/dresden-files-rpg\/\">Dresden Files<\/a> or the upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evilhat.com\/home\/dresden-files-accelerated\/\">Dresden Files Accelerated<\/a> RPGs (both Fate variants). The Dresden books do have shapeshifter mechanics, very appealing for a setting that features a coyote &#8220;walker&#8221; (shapeshifter) and lots of werewolf packs. However, these\u00a0are more complex than the base Fate &amp; Accelerated rulesets, and I feel that only someone who is both experienced with the Dresden RPGs as well as the Mercyverse would be able to successfully run such a campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mercy Thompson<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>System:<\/strong> Fate\u00a0Core (Evil Hat Productions)<br \/>\n<strong>Genre:<\/strong> Urban Fantasy<\/p>\n<p><strong>High Concept: Coyote Walker.<\/strong> <em>Mercy may shift instantly to that form.
