anima city is a massive, modern city built and inhabited almost entirely by a subspecies of humans known as demihumans. demihumans are essentially half-human, half-animal, though their appearance is much closer to that of an ordinary human than an actual animal. they have human faces, skin, noses, hands, feet, and nails, with only a few animal characteristics setting them apart. depending on their species, these features can include animal ears, tails, wings, horns, scales, fur, feathers, and all sorts of other unique traits. following the passing of the demihuman independence act in 1998, demihumans were finally able to establish a place of their own, eventually building the sprawling city that would become anima city. what started as a place where demihumans could live freely and independently has since grown into a huge, thriving metropolis filled with different communities, cultures, and lifestyles.

anima city is divided into eight main districts, each with its own environment, atmosphere, and population. despite their differences, all eight districts are connected by the bestial train, a city-wide railway system with stations throughout anima city. it makes travelling between districts relatively easy, whether someone is commuting to work, visiting friends, or simply exploring somewhere new.

baobab canyon is a sprawling desert oasis with warm weather, sandy landscapes, and a mixture of desert towns and bustling settlements. it is home to many african-inspired species, including giraffes, hyenas, cheetahs, zebras, and elephants.

oceanside bay is a sunny coastal district known for its beaches, seaside communities, and oceanfront attractions. its population consists largely of marine and aquatic demihumans, such as sharks, seals, whales, nudibranchs, and octopuses.

meadowbrook is the quieter, agricultural side of anima city, filled with open fields, farms, countryside homes, and small rural communities. cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, and horses are especially common here.

lotusville is an east asian-inspired district with traditional architecture, busy shopping streets, colourful festivals, and plenty of modern city life mixed together. it is particularly popular among pandas, red pandas, komodo dragons, asian hornets, and tanukis.

bayou duvall is a humid, swampy district full of winding waterways, marshlands, wetlands, and old-fashioned bayou settlements. crocodiles, alligators, frogs, herons, and platypuses are among its most common residents.

fjordheim is the coldest district in anima city, consisting of icy tundras, snowy villages, frozen lakes, and mountainous landscapes. it is home to arctic foxes, polar bears, snow leopards, narwhals, walruses, and other cold-weather species.

caiporã vale is a lush, exotic rainforest district filled with dense vegetation, tropical wildlife, and vibrant communities. jaguars, capybaras, iguanas, alpacas, and chinchillas are just some of the species that call it home.

finally, timberden is a heavily wooded district known for its forests, secluded settlements, and quieter way of life. wolves, bears, squirrels, hedgehogs, and deer are particularly common throughout the area.

the origins of demihumans can be traced all the way back to 1801, when a human scientist named victor blackwell became obsessed with an experiment that most people of the time considered impossible, if not completely deranged. his goal was to create a living creature that was part-human and part-animal by combining the dna of a mouse with a human embryo. it was an incredibly unusual and controversial idea, and one that victor spent years trying to bring to life. experiment after experiment ended in failure, but he refused to give up. eventually, after countless attempts, he finally succeeded in creating what would become the very first demihuman, or as they were known back then, a hybrid.

the creature was named william, later becoming known as william the mouse boy. however, william was far from the human-like demihumans people are familiar with today. he was much more mouse than human, with a mostly animal-like appearance that made him seem more like a strange laboratory creature than a person. humans who encountered him considered him a monster, a freak of nature, and a disgrace to humanity. rather than being treated like a living, breathing individual, william was kept in captivity and raised as little more than victor's scientific achievement.

william remained imprisoned for the first several years of his life, but by the age of seven, he somehow managed to escape. he disappeared without a trace, and despite attempts to locate him, he was never seen again. victor's greatest creation had vanished into the outside world, leaving behind more questions than answers.

however, william's disappearance seemed to mark the beginning of something much bigger. several years later, humans began reporting sightings of strange, half-human, half-animal creatures wandering around in different parts of the world. some looked almost identical to william, while others appeared to have slightly more human features. nobody knew where these creatures had come from, but it was was widely speculated that william had somehow managed to reproduce with a human female, passing his unusual genetics down to future generations. whether this was actually the case or not remained a mystery.

as the years passed, more and more of these creatures began appearing, and their descendants gradually became less animal-like and more human in appearance. each generation seemed to bring them closer to the demihumans people recognise today. what had originally started as one man's bizarre scientific experiment had eventually developed into an entirely new subspecies of humanity, one that would continue to grow and evolve for generations to come.

by 1944, demihumans had become something of a government-controlled commodity. rather than recognising them as living individuals, the human government considered them its responsibility and, essentially, its property. in an attempt to keep their growing population under control, authorities began capturing wild demihumans and selling them off through underground auctions on the black market. these auctions were primarily attended by wealthy and influential humans, who saw owning a demihuman as the ultimate status symbol. having one in your household was considered a display of wealth, power,and social standing, much like owning an expensive piece of property.

by 1955, demihumans had become much more accessible to the general public. they were openly sold as household pets, and practically anyone with enough money could purchase one. they were considerably more expensive than ordinary animals, but that didn't stop people from buying them. however, things quickly became complicated when human owners began attempting to breed with their demihuman pets. since demihumans were still legally classified as animals rather than people, these relationships were considered bestiality and were quickly outlawed. what made the situation even more complicated was that demihumans had evolved considerably by this point. they possessed human-level intelligence, emotions, thoughts, and the ability to understand complex ideas and social structures. they weren't simly animals with unusual appearances anymore, even if the law continued to treat them that way.

in 1959, scientists began conducting cognitive tests on demihumans living in human households. the results were rather difficult to ignore. their intelligence, reasoning abilities, emotional responses, and understanding of the world were all comparable to those of ordinary humans. it became increasingly obvious that demihumans were capable of thinking and feeling just like their owners. this sparked a much bigger public discussion about whether keeping them as pets was actually ethical. for the first time, people began questioning whether demihumans were really animals at all, or whether they were being denied basic human rights simply because of their appearance.

by 1967, the controversy had grown into a full-blown political and social movement. protests were breaking out across human cities, with two very opposing sides fighting over the future of demihumans. one side demanded their independence, freedom, and recognition as people, while the other wanted stricter government control and believed demihumans should remain contained and domesticated. the debate continued for decades, with demihumans and their supporters fighting against a system that had treated them as property for generations.

eventually, after years of protests, political pressure, and growing public support, demihumans finally achieved their independence through the demihuman independence act of 1998. the act officially recognised demihumans as their own people, making it illegal to keep them as household pets or treat them as property. it also legalised romantic and sexual relationships between humans and demihumans, recognising that they were capable of consenting to relationships just like anyone else.

unfortunately, legal recognition didn't magically make prejudice disappear. many humans still viewed demihumans as lesser beings, and discrimination remained a very real problem in human society. tireed of living somewhere they were constantly judged, mistreated, and made to feel unwelcome, a salamander demihuman named sapphire rogan began working on a solution. in 2009, sapphire set out to establish anima city, a city exclusively for demihumans where they could live freely, safely, and independently without having to worry about human discrimination. what began as an attempt to create a safe place for an oppressed population would eventually grow into the enormous, thriving city that demihumans would come to call home.

dinosaur resurrection lab, more commonly known as drl, is a scientific research company dedicated to bringing extinct species back to life. their work involves recovering and reconstructing the dna of extinct animals before combining it with human dna to create something entirely new: demihumans based on prehistoric creatures. while the idea of resurrecting extinct animals has been around for quite some time, drl takes things a step further by attempting to bring these creatures back in a form that is capable of human intelligence, communication, and social interaction.

recently, drl made a rather extraordinary breakthrough in their research with the birth of zolni, the very first triceratops demihuman. born in 2025, zolni is a tiny baby girl and the first successful result of the company's dinosaur resurrection experiments. her birth was a huge scientific achievement, marking the beginning of an entirely new chapter in demihuman genetics. naturally, the news spread like wildfire throughout anima city, with people becoming incredibly interested in the little prehistoric girl.

nowadays, practically everyone in anima city has heard of drl and its experiments. zolni has become something of a local celebrity, with regular news coverage, scientific updates, interviews, and even merchandise being released in celebration of her birth. people are fascinated by the idea of a living dinosaur demihuman, and the fact that she's an adorable little baby has only made her more popular. for now, zolni is being raised inside drl's research facility, where she receives constant care and supervision from the scientists responsible for her development. although she's still far too young to understand just how important she is, her existence has already made her one of the most talked-about little demihumans in anima city.

the shishigomi pride is one of the most influential and well-known families in all of anima city, practically sitting at the very top of anima city central's social hierarchy. at the head of the family is shishiki shishigomi, the city's powerful mayor. he's a wealthy, intimidating man with political influence and connections practically everywhere. he's not someone you want to get on the wrong side of, especially if you value your reputation or your livelihood. between his political position, money, and influence, the shishigomi family has a considerable amount of control over the city, making them one of the most powerful families around.

his wife, cakusola shishigomi, is practically just as influential in her own right. she's a famous fashion designer and the founder of la rouge, her own luxury fashion label. her designs are incredibly popular and have earned her a reputation as one of the biggest names in anima city's fashion industry. la rouge regularly competes with other major fashion houses, including plumage and melliora, making cakusola a rather important figure in the fashion world. between her husband's political influence and her own successful career, the shishigomis are practically anima city royalty.

together, shishiki and cakusola have three children, each with their own very different personalities and ideas about what they want out of life. their oldest son, shishio shishigomi, is pretty much the stereotypical rich frat boy. he's arrogant, entitled, and used to getting whatever he wants, mostly because nobody has ever really given him a reason to behave otherwise. shishio isn't particularly interested in earning his own success and seems perfectly content waiting for his father to kick the bucket so he can inherit the family fortune and take his place at the top.

their second child, nalea shishigomi, is a spoiled little princess with a rather enormous ego. she's accustomed to the finer things in life and isn't particularly fond of being told no. unlike her older brother, however, nalea actually has an interest in building a career of her own, although it's hardly surprising that she plans on following in her mother's footsteps. she hopes to eventually work alongside cakusola at la rouge, where she can get involved in the fashion industry and perhaps take over the family business someday.

then there's the youngest, koushi shishigomi, who is arguably the most normal member of the entire family. he's still attending high school and, unlike his older siblings, is actually a pretty nice andown-to-earth kid. being the youngest means he tends to receive considerably less attention from his parents, who are usually far too busy with their own careers and the ambitions of their older children. in a rather funny way, being overlooked has probably done him some good. without the same expectations or pressure placed on shishio and nalea, koushi has managed to grow into a relatively ordinary teenager despite being born into one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in anima city.

shishiki → cakusola → shishio → nalea → koushi
