The Bloom

86 years ago, the world changed forever.

During a major war, a military superpower developed The Bloom, a highly contagious engineered virus designed to weaken enemy populations. It was released during an attack, but quickly mutated far beyond what its creators expected.

The virus spread across the globe, affecting roughly 30% of humanity.

Some people died. Others recovered normally. But millions experienced something unexpected: their bodies changed. They developed animal-like traits such as ears, tails, fur, scales, claws, wings, enhanced senses, and more.

These people became known as Hybrids.

The virus eventually disappeared, and no new cases have been reported for decades. However, society never fully recovered.

Hybrids are legally recognized as people, but discrimination remains widespread. Some businesses refuse to hire them, certain communities restrict where they can live, and many people still view them as dangerous or inferior.

Governments continue to call Hybrids "protected citizens."

Many Hybrids disagree.
