Seriously, that's like the fourth or fifth one I know of! What is it about that name? Because, in greek mythology, that's the name for the personification of darkness and night. I suppose that works for, say, Nightmare Moon reborn, but not so much for an emo teenager with black hair and cuts herself. At least this Nyx has some weird shadow beast thing in her, so that might be excusable for the name, but I'm sorry, unless she has darkness powers, the name's silly.

Ooh, a lycanthrope, nice! I played with a lycanthropic agent for a little while. May find some use for her in some story later, though probably not PPC or fanfic related. While I'm not a fan of how most lycanthropes in the PPC are handled, should the uncontrollable beast nature of her actually be explored, it could be very interesting. I would say funny, but being forcibly transformed into a ravenous shadow beast is not funny, it's terrifying. That's not to say that terrifying is bad. It's not, and indeed, should be used more in the PPC. However, as long as it develops character, and funny moments can come out of it, then it's all for the better.
