I'm sorry for double posting, but the first challenge and first post are both up! I'll include the challenge in the spoiler below to make it easy to find. You can also see it in the Storybooks Badges & Challenges thread.
Spoiler! :
The Challenge:Introductions
Our story begins! Because of the nature of the tale that is being told, two different challenges will be assigned depending on what type of character you have. I will consider myself one of the Grimm for this challenge. You will be able to gain the same total amount of points in your post, regardless of what type of character you're writing for.
Though the specifics of each challenge may be different, there are two points that everyone can win. One point is for posting, and the second point is for having your post be over 750 words.
Grimms
Mysterious letters certainly aren't normal - especially when they claim you're able to see monsters. But is it really all that strange for you? You can get one point for including your character's thoughts about the letter and its contents. I'm sure that you've begun to see the monsters hiding among the world, so it's best for you to include an example of that. You can gain one point by showing your character's ability in action.
Monsters
Being a monster isn't easy. You always have to keep up appearances and pretend to be something that you're not, just in case a Grimm happens to be wandering around. But sometimes you get flustered, and you end up slipping. You can get one point by having your character's disguise fail. It doesn't have to be in the company of a Grimm. And see that old warehouse? You didn't get a letter or message telling you to go there, but you're heading there anyways. By having your character decide to go to the warehouse and explaining why in your post, you can get one point.
Completion Time: 7 posts
Credits Awarded: 4
By the way, I love Oliver, @XxXTheSwordsmanXxX! I can't wait to see him interacting with Rosie.
Character is up! Let me know if anything needs changing.
You are like a blacksmith's hammer, you always forge people's happiness until the coal heating up the forge turns to ash. Then you just refuel it and start over. -Persistence (2015)
You have so much potential and love bursting in you. -Omnom
By that, I mean they hunted monsters. It was a placeholder at the time of when I was writing it so I think I might change it to Monster Hunting Agency or something. And it has been edited. For whatever reason, I think I combined monster and Grimm, thinking they meant the same thing so sorry about that!

@saentiel so the knife that I gave him isn't too over the top? Though I gave him the draw back of not really being a fighter, that is a rather powerful weapon.
I'm not Saentiel, but she mentioned in the info that some Grimms had guns. Regardless of what a knife can cut, in a fight, knife<gun.

@XxXTheSwordsmanXxX, I didn't really see any problems with knife! Even if it can cut through anything, you'd have to stab the thing first and even that would take time. Also, it's up to you for when you want your post to be! I think mine might have been on Thursday or Friday, but I'm not really sure. You can have your post any time over the course of the week.
@Chaser, your Grimm sounds absolutely terrifying because of that but I also love him!
OK, sorry for the wait, but I have an idea for my character I'd like to propose.
So basically, a fairy-tale wolf (not a werewolf, like a very big, very dangerous, talking wolf). If I'm correct, I can play that and be able to have a human form? That's kind of what I'm getting off Leo?
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
@Feltrix and @XxXTheSwordsmanXxX, I love both of your posts! Oliver and Erin are such interesting characters. Also, you hit Leo and Rosie on the head, @Feltrix!
I mean, I'm sure you could! My werewolf character - Nikki - is more like the character I showed you pictures of in Grimm. She keeps a mostly humanoid form, though she takes on more wolf-like attributes. So if you want to go with something that's already established, I would say go with that?
But I'm sure there could be multiple types of wolf monsters out there! You would just need to do something like what @Feltrix did with Erin. Erin can take on the forms of other animals, but they still have a specific form that Grimms can see. I don't see why your character and Nikki can be distantly related when it comes to species. Maybe a group branched off that didn't have the ability to take a full-on wolf form, and Nikki is their descendant?
Sweet, sounds like a plan. I'll get that CP up tomorrow or Friday, possibly later this morning :D
