Editing Darklord (section)

===Sean Mako & Alice/Alison Marjory===
Darklords of Carcharodon Isle. Sort of a combination of Ladyhawke and the Little Mermaid. Over a century ago, a male human fisherman named Sean Marko lived in the village of Mistlington. One day, he discovered an injured [[merfolk|mermaid]] washed up on the isle's northwest shore, unconscious and bleeding from several wounds, including a severed left hand. Unable to turn away from someone in need, he brought her to his home and nursed her back to health. The mermaid, whose name translated into Common as "Alice", explained that she was the only survivor of a tribe that had been slaughtered by [[sahuagin]].

The two fell in love, much to the displeasure of the locals; the fishermen thought Sean was foolish for pining over a mermaid, and their wives were jealous of Alice's beauty, leading to them slandering her and Sean's relationship as "unnatural". Ultimately, a bunch of the village's men took it upon themselves to "repatriate" Alice; they came to Sean's house in the night, bludgeoned him unconscious, and carried Alice away. When Sean regained consciousness, he rowed desperately to catch up to them, but by the time he did so, they'd thrown the still-bound mermaid overboard.

Enraged, Sean snatched up a boathook and attacked the men who had assaulted him and the woman he loved, butchering them. When the carnage was over, he dove into the water after Alice, and then begged the full moon above for a fins and a tail so he might never be separated from his love.

Naturally, the [[Dark Powers]] chose to be dicks about granting this wish...

Both Sean and the revived Alice, now a human calling herself Alison Marjory, have become maledictive [[therianthrope]]s. 

Sean is a giant [[wereshark]] who spends most of the month as an intelligent megalodon, unaware that he ''can'' transform and remembering nothing of his human life; only during the nights of the full moon and those nights directly before and after it does he return to his human form... which remembers everything he did as a giant killer shark. Because of his curse-spawned ignorance, the only way that shark!Sean can transform is if he is magically compelled to do so, such as by an Amulet of the Beast. He spends his days asleep and his nights hunting for food.

In contrast, Alison is a [[seawolf]] who spends most of the month as a human, but assumes her seawolf form on the nights before, during and after the full moon - the same nights when Sean regains his humanity. Like Sean, as a seawolf, she is completely ignorant of her human life. She keeps to herself, for the people of the isle still distrust and dislike her, gladly telling the nastiest stories they can think of about her to anyone who'll listen.

Neither darklord can be slain permanently through violence; they fully heal and return to life 1 round after being defeated. They also can't close the domain's borders, although since the only local vessels are small fishing boats that are no match for a giant shark or a massive seafaring wolf, they don't need to do much more than patrol the borders themselves.

Curing them simply requires breaking the curse by getting them to touch as humans, but doing so is tough; aside from the fact that they alternate human and monster forms, neither is aware of the fact that the other survives. Whichever of them is in beast form also refuses to get within 10 feet of the other one. They also won't willingly get within 5 feet of an Amulet of the Beast. So players are going to have to get creative to break their curse.
