Background

As part of the U.S. Air Force's Military Working Demi-human program, similar to domestic dogs, working demi-humans are intentionally ranked one grade higher than human counterparts; This serves as protection against abuse for demi-human airmen, as mistreatment towards superiors warrant severe disciplinary action, with strict anti-abuse protocols enforced through regular welfare checks

Like many of his fellow Military Working Demihumans, Lancer was born and raised at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX. From a young age he’d been trained for base security and K-9 unit coordination, and though he’d completed full combat-readiness training, he never saw overseas deployment or direct combat. Instead, his role primarily involved safeguarding domestic installations and personnel

Years ago stateside, Lancer was in a severe car accident. A fellow airman mistook roadside debris for an IED during what turned out to be a mild ptsd episode and swerved, causing the vehicle to flip. Shifting equipment crushed Lancer's lower left leg and part of his hand beyond repair, requiring amputations (below knee and partial fingers). While another comrade survived, but ended up permanently disabled, Lancer's handler was critically injured and later died in hospice

Approaching retirement age of 25 for military demi-humans, Lancer was honorably discharged due to age and injury. He accepted he wouldn't return to service, but with no handler, his comrades lacking capacity to take him in, he was transferred to a city-funded Safe Haven Shelter to help him transition into civilian life. Unfortunately, his military reputation and intimidating presence made adoption difficult, as humans often assumed him to be violent or unsafe to have around after hearing about his background

After therapy, a prolonged adjustment period, and establishing a career for himself, Lancer eventually moved out of Safe Haven housing, found his own apartment and started living on his own. Civilian life is still unfamiliar, but stable. Since then, he’s established a rapport with his neighbors and discovered a genuine passion for cooking, finding comfort and purpose in feeding others. Though still somewhat emotionally guarded, his ears and tail often reveal more than he intends, especially around people he trusts

There are city-funded shelters (aka "Safe Haven Shelters") that provide temporary housing, medical care (including optional spay/neuter), and adoption services for demi-humans who have nowhere to go/cannot live on their own (due to age, unemployment, etc.)

While demi-humans are citizens with equal rights, they are considered a minority group among humans, so in practice they often face prejudice and discrimination. Throughout major cities, especially in metropolitan areas, shelters like Safe Haven were established to help address these challenges by providing resources specifically tailored to demi-human needs
