EnThralled or Confused?

Let's see, didn't I have an article on thralls up on the WikiWLP?

... [url="http://www.wlpcomics.com/wiki/index.php?title=Thrall"]yes, I did[/url], but apparently I didn't put in the meaning of the narration on [url="http://www.peteristhewolf.com/adult/023.html"]Page 23[/url] of PitW Adult side...

So here's the edit:

"In the White Lightning Productions webcomic Peter is the Wolf, the word ''thrall'' is used to differentiate humans infected with lycanthropy from born werewolves. Unlike the legends, thralls in 'Peter is the Wolf' are not in any way subservient to their "creator", nor are they under the creator's control. Killing the creator, of course, does not cure the thrall of lycanthropy."

So even if Peter were the Fabio of were society, Sarah still wouldn't necessarily feel any compulsion to obey him.

So, a Thrall will be a Thrall until they die, no matter how much they learn to control themselves.
So: if Sarah is a Thrall, then Jean is a Native? (using the old term for "Born" as opposed to the modern "Indiginous to location")

Then, Sarah and Peter's offspring would be Native Werewolves, right?

Hmmm: Methinks that given the fluidity of Werewolf populations and the lack of a "central control" a Thrall might pass him/herself off as a Native, were he/she to move to a location where the locals weren't likely to check, or if he/she just kept mum about his/her past.
EEEEENNN-ter-esting....

Possible, but probably pointless.

Unless said thrall has learned enough to make up for years of childhood learning (possible, but unlikely - it's a moving target, after all, but I'll grant you "close enough" is doable), they're likely to give away their "thrall-ness" anyway. And even if they don't, what advantages do you gain from hoping nobody ever hears about your background?

As I see it (ie, this is my opinion, and probably not canon ;-] ) there's no effective difference between thrall and native, except incidental note of past events. Sortof like the current difference between single and joint parenting, the child that comes out of it is still a human being, and, barring any provincial stupidity, no different, effectively, than anyone else.

Just my 2p, I guess.

Well now I feel like an idjut... ah well, it's familiar turf.

The subsercience bit didn't make sense to me anyway, and I'll try and check the Wiki more often before I make another thread like this.

I have to agree though that it sounds like thralls would be little different than 'native' ones, perhaps only weaker and less experienced as a result of not growing up learning to control themselves.
