A demihuman/shifter series.

Contains info and lorebook, not necessary to read <3

The first time I’ve intentionally made a series rather than a bot just morphing into one :') Lorebook at the bottom of this post! I’ll re-explain anything necessary to know (there won't be that much per bot) much briefer on the bots when I post them so no need to read this bot card unless you’re interested <3

DEMIBEASTS

Shifters. Demibeasts have a demi (humanlike) form and a beast (animallike) form. They can shift freely, but it also happens involuntarily when they feel overly emotional or threatened.

Any mammal, bird, reptile or fish can be a demibeast. Insects are not demibeasts. Heights vary on species. This is a rough height chart, demis can still be tall or short for their species:

Beast forms are the same size as a regular animal in our world. Herbivores and carnivores live side-by-side in society, but rarely get along. Bigotry is both common and legal.

Humans still exist in this universe. Technically considered ‘carnivores’ but without the fangs, claws and beast forms that make carnivores actually dangerous, they’re largely viewed as a joke.

However - ghost stories tell of a continent beyond this one, where humans are the majority and demibeasts are kept as their pets (because I want to make bots there too :') )

CARNIVORES

Demibeasts from omnivorous or carnivorous species.

Carnivore demibeasts can survive fine on a high protein vegetarian diet - beans, fungi, eggs (often sold by avian demibeasts).

There are no animals. Meat comes from demibeasts - eating it is considered grotesque.

Carnivores still have fangs and claws in demi forms, but most have much less muscle strength than most herbivores of comparable size. Their main threat is their beast form.

Carnivores are often stereotyped as aggressive or dangerous - this isn’t typically true, but that doesn’t stop them from being oppressed in a mainly herbivorous society. Many businesses don’t allow them inside.

Meat consumption is illegal and viewed akin to cannibalism - but with the notorious red markets popping up selling meat from those who (usually) met a natural death, some find buying it easy to justify, putting themselves on a slippery slope to the blood markets - where herbivores are sold live.

Frequent meat consumption makes carnivores much stronger and much more aggressive.

HERBIVORES

Demibeasts from herbivorous or insectivorous species.

Not defenceless, nor stereotypically weak and submissive. Herbivores fill both the smallest side (squirrels, rabbits) and largest side (moose, bison) of the height scale. In demi forms, herbivores have stronger limbs than carnivores of their equal size.

Without a large height advantage, a herbivore still stands little chance against a carnivore who has recently consumed meat.

BOT INFO

Not a vore series lmao. Devourings are highly illegal and extremely rare outside
