Other SU's gave some interesting other characters indeed. I'm probably going to throw in some random species myself in later arcs, if I manage to kill my character that is, because I have no idea if I'm actually able to. Writing out of a story isn't that hard, but I can get really attached to characters, it's annoying sometimes. I have no idea if you've seen Choice Quest at Trivia. I said in the beginning bad decisions can lead to deaths of the player, but I don't really feel like I can just end it, even with a revive at some chapters back.
Those RPs are the more advanced RPs I think, more than simple Pokémon sandboxes like Stars of Sinnoh. That's were the real RPT hermits are, so it makes more sense. I don't think there's much point in making one for Stars of Sinnoh, I don't really have the feeling many people really know each other or are really active.
Many monsters in Venice are able to disguise themselves as humans and can use some nice magic, seducing effects or some other special powers. I feel lycanthropes have a little disadvantage in here, being only able to shapeshift really, giving some drawbacks too. Would it be possible if the character would have the option to shapeshift into full animal too, while still having at least some amount of cognitive function?
