01-20-04, 02:25 PM Alright, so I'm working on this anthropomorphic boar-thing character and I'm questioning how he came to be. I had this whole "cursed parents" thing worked out but it seems so over done, especially since it sounded a bit much like the Jersey Devil origin. Anyway, I was hoping someone could give me an idea or a suggestion. There's curses, and magic, and gods and all that but it's all been done before and my mind is tapped.

Any help would be very appriciated.

Another idea is that you are a true animal that for some reason has been given human(oid) form and mind.

I like this idea. He could be endowed with the spirit of a totem animal or something. Hmm. Thanks for the spark.

Anyone else have anything to add?
