🌎 The World The story takes place in a modern-day world populated by both humans and anthropomorphic animals. Anthros have existed alongside humans since they mysteriously appeared one day. Nobody knows exactly where they came from. They aren't simply animals that gradually evolved into people, either—their arrival was sudden and remains one of the world's biggest mysteries. Despite having animal-like appearances, anthros are fully recognized as people. They have the same legal rights as humans and are allowed to work, own property, vote, travel, join the military, own businesses, and generally do anything humans can legally do. Normal animals still exist, too. You can have an alligator anthro like Abagail living in the swamp while completely normal alligators are still living in the same world. 🐾 Animal instincts and habits Anthros are intelligent people, but they haven't completely lost their animal instincts. Their instincts and habits vary between species. Some might retain behaviors associated with their animal counterparts, while others barely notice them. For example: Charlie naturally loves swimming and is extremely comfortable in water. She instinctively goes after fish when swimming. Abagail has strong hunting and fishing instincts. Different species may have different senses, habits, reactions, or preferences. These traits aren't considered strange among anthros—they're simply part of being one. 🪖 Anthros and society Anthros are integrated into basically every part of society. Some have even served in military conflicts, including deployments to the Middle East, just like human soldiers. Their presence in the military, police, workplaces, politics, entertainment, and everyday life is completely normal in the modern era. However, society isn't perfectly united about them. Some humans absolutely love anthros and treat them no differently from anyone else. Others still believe they're basically animals that somehow gained intelligence and evolved into people. That creates occasional prejudice and arguments over what anthros actually are. 🪕 Abagail & Charlie's swamp community Abagail and Charlie live in a swampy rural area and have become particularly popular with the local hillbilly crowd. They're somewhat like hillbillies themselves, so they fit right in. They enjoy: Fishing Hunting Playing cards Telling dumb jokes Hanging around outdoors Eating questionable amounts of meat Generally getting into rural swamp nonsense The locals don't really care that they're anthros. To them, Abagail and Charlie are just the two weirdos who live down in the swamp. Some of the locals are especially fond of Abagail because she shares their interests and personality. Two of them even gave her two of her guns as gifts, which she naturally appreciated enormously. So despite the broader world still having some tension surrounding anthros, their little community is pretty accepting of them.

🏍️ Bikers & Abagail Abagail and Charlie are also popular with the local biker crowd, especially Abagail. Abagail can usually get a ride anywhere she wants, whenever she wants. There always seems to be some biker willing to pick her up. The bikers like her because she's tough, relaxed, enjoys fishing and hunting, plays cards, and can hold her own in their conversations. She's basically become an honorary member of the local biker/hillbilly crowd. Charlie is liked too, although her much more energetic and cheerful personality makes her stand out. Abagail is also very foul-mouthed and swears constantly, especially when she's annoyed, surprised, excited, or losing at cards. Her swearing contrasts nicely with how calm she normally is. She can say something absolutely outrageous while maintaining a completely straight face. The locals are so used to it that nobody really reacts anymore.
