Prey:
A Private Roleplay by Auki and Serendipitous Bliss
This story takes place in a world reigned by humans.
However, each human possesses the ability to transform into an animal. It has been that way since the beginning, and as far as anyone can see, it will always be a world where humans are able to mutate into beasts.
Nevertheless, while each individual retains the physical qualities of their animal, the mind of the human thankfully remains dominant.
The Story:
All the same, the world is facing a dilemma. A problem has been forming for the government that, without drastic measures, they have no hope of solving. Starvation. A shocking discovery has been made as professionals learn that normal animals are becoming extinct. Furthermore, after study is done into the issue, it is found that there is little anyone can do to save these animals.
The government finds itself losing one of its main food sources, and without enough time to devise a plan to counteract such exhaustion to their resources. Yet, as desperation began to manifest, they came to a decision. When signs of starvation began to appear, government officials passed a law – One that placed bounties on the head of any human that turned into a herbivore. The law cruelly named this new food source as ‘Prey’.
Although a few of the carnivorous humans resisted the idea at first, and many were repulsed by it, as hunger began to spread, the minds of these people soon found justice in the new law. The herbivorous of the human race, or ‘prey’, were hunted down. Bounty hunters began to spend more time in their animal form, where their senses were heightened, and it was far easier to track their quarry. Many suffered but society turned a blind eye.
[hr]
Two years have passed since the victimisation of herbivores, and it is reported that only a few remain alive. However, in the last few months, a rumour has started; that there is a place to the North, nicknamed ‘Paradise’, were herbivores are accepted as citizens and treated as equals. Many aspire to find this place, and some attempt to escape to this wonderland, but the government is keen to track them down and most are quickly captured.
The instinct to survive burns strong in all; the hope of freedom, a persistent dream.
You have been contacted – A small group are planning their escape and you have been invited to join them. You are told they are meeting at the White Stag Inn, a supposedly abandoned building on the outskirts of town. The party’s numbers are to be keep as few as possible; too many and the group will be noticed.
You are advised to travel at night and avoid main roads. Patrols are centred around the main city so stick to the outskirts as much as possible.
Good Luck - We’ll be awaiting your arrival.
The Facts:
Humans and their Animal States:
The transition from human to animal can be incredibly varied from one person to another, due to the range of factors contributing to the metamorphosis.
Of course, the species of animal would be one of the differing elements. Each person can transform into only one species of animal and although extensive research has been done, no person has been found that can mutate into more then one particular breed.
Another component of the change is the ‘quirk’ of a person. ‘Quirk’s are the actions that trigger the transfiguration and vary for every individual. For example, one man may mutate into his given animal every time he sneezes, whereas another might change whenever he falls unconscious. Due to the nature of some 'quirks', some may never, or only rarely, experience their animal form, compared to some that are forced into it every day.
The last part of the process that needs to be taken into consideration by any person is their ‘waiting period’. As with the assortment of ‘quirks’ found, there is also a similarly varied array of 'waiting periods' until a being can return to his original human form; some ‘waiting periods’ may be a few seconds, whilst others can last longer then a month. Once the ‘waiting period’ is completed, the person is free to stay in his animal state or morph back.
Humans are able to communicate with other humans and animals are able to communicate basic conversations between themselves.
However, speech and the understanding of body language between humans and animals is extremely limited; Normally, only basic emotions are able to be interpreted.

Mini Glossary (Just to avoid any confusion):
+ Prey: A human that transforms into an animal whose main diet consists of plants, algae or insects.
+ Carnivores: A human that transforms into an animal whose diet must contain meat or fish.
+ Quirk: An action that forces a human to transform into their animal state
+ Waiting Period: The length of time after a human has transformed into their animal state, until they can wilfully change back into their human state.
+ Paradise: Referred to in a rumour of unknown origin, it is supposedly a place where Prey are able to live peacefully.
