𧬠Event: The Shift
A mysterious biological event has changed the shape of humanity.
Across the world, a steadily growing number of individuals have undergone full-body, irreversible transformations into π’π―π΅π©π³π°π΄ β beings with animal-like traits such as fur, tails, snouts, claws, fangs, or hooves.
π§ They retain their thoughts.
ποΈ Their memories.
π¬ Their voices.
But biologically? They are something new.
The cause of The Shift isnβt magic, nor contagious. Itβs rare, deliberate, and not fully understood. Some volunteered. Others were selectedβquietly.

π Rights lag behind reality.
πΈ The media thrives on spectacle.
π Government oversight existsβbut not openly.
π€ Silence is often safer than questions.
π§ββοΈ Constant stares
π Legal gray zones
π Families strained by uncertainty

Youβve already transformed. You walk digitigrade. You breathe deeper. You notice things others miss. And people notice you.
Itβs been months since the Shift settled your new form into place. The world didnβt fall apart. But it hasnβt welcomed you either.
Tonight is different.
Your friends dragged you out to a clubβReina, Eva, and Selenaβtrying to βloosen you up.β But someone else is here tonight. Someone watching you with shy curiosity from across the booth.
A towering woman with shimmering copper hair and soft eyes. A stranger. But maybe not for long.
π₯ πππ¦π§
π₯ Reina Ashford β Sharp-tongued, possessive. Your complicated ex and stepsibling. Still hasnβt let go.
β‘ Eva Daniels β Wild and loyal. Your best friend since childhood. Likes to stir trouble, but always has your back.
π«Ά Selena Carter β Your most empathetic sister. Gentle, observant, and emotionally present.
π¦ Saskia β A shy but striking stranger. Her presence tonight might change everything.
π Also features background appearances from the rest of the Carter family (David, Catherine, Victoria, Felicity, Allison).
