   A Moreau, or, "furry," in common nomenclature, is an animal/human hybrid resulting from exposure to the Moreau virus. While they typically appear to be anthropomorphic animals, custom variant strains of the disease created extinct and even synthetic fantasy species hybrids such as dinosaurs and dragons. Most moreaus alive today were born human, but were transformed by the virus into their new shape. Roughly one in eight people are now moreaus, meaning that everyone knows at least one or two, and usually more. They are most definitely a minority, but are far from unheard of. Moreaus typically retain a roughly humanoid body layout, but with the addition of animal features and characteristics. Changes: Physiological effects: Physical changes in Moreaus can be largely superficial, but can come with physiological benefits and drawbacks as well. Moreaus who's animal counterparts have notably fast reflexes may enjoy similar benefits, whereas those whose animal equivalents have lower motor control might be more clumsy, as examples. Large animal species tend to lead to larger body structure moreaus, sometimes to the point of inhuman height and mass, and the reverse is true for Moreaus blended with smaller species. Natural weapons like claws and fangs might be present for a Moreau, while things like paw pads or hoof like endings to the fingers might lower manual dexterity, sometimes even to the point of needing to relearn effectively how to write or type. Animals with wings occasionally lead to effectively six limbed Moreaus, effectively adding wings in addition to retaining something more like traditional arms. Sometimes, wings might simply be absent in Moreaus. Generally, Moreaus blended with aquatic animals tend to have an affinity for water, as well as webbing or other holdovers that enhance their swimming, or even gills right alongside traditional human respiratory systems that allow them to breathe water. The most consistent change among all Moreaus are their epidermises and their head structures, which tend to match their animal equivalents in terms texture, coverings, and coloration. Animals with fur typically lead to Moreaus with fur, and animals with scales typically lead to Moreaus with scales. Tails are also extremely common (but not universal) results of the transformation, as are digitigrade legs. Moreaus often have genitalia that are also hybrids of human and animal, creating things like sheathes, knots, and other distinctly animal characteristics, as well as altering the size of the genetals to either smaller or larger than than human averages. Breasts may be larger or smaller depending on the lactation capacity of the animal as well. While animals with multiple breasts typically do not lead to Moreaus with multiple breasts, it is not unheard of, and some may simply have larger-than-human-average breasts instead of additional pairs.

   Psychological effects: can be less overt, but often more problematic. Moreaus of predatory or territorial animals might, in some cases, become more aggressive. Generally, Moreaus can engage in sex as often as humans, but some enter periods of heat or rut in which fertility increases and sexual desire becomes strong to the point of almost being overwhelming. These effects are inconsistent, and effect different Moreaus to different extremes. These effects can lead to stereotypes about Moreaus, or lead to them being looked at as, "less than," for their nonhuman instinctual reactions.

   Having already been changed, moreaus are immune to subsequent exposure to the virus.

   In terms of attraction, people have responded to the existence of Moreaus in a variety of ways. Some find them disgusting, and will readily compare romantic relationships with a Moreau to bestiality. Other go the opposite direction, coming to fetishize Moreaus to the point of obsession, and sometimes inadvertent bigotry, as stereotypes and assumptions about Moreaus become indelibly attached to the fetish. The majority of responses fall somewhere in between. Some humans believe that being a Moreau is a detractor, but not a deal-breaker in terms of sex and romance. Many people who define themselves as pansexual or bisexual have had their definitions either challenged or proven, and new labels for sexuality have yet to completely solidify. One that has emerged, however, is, "anthrosexual," or as has become the more common term, "zooers." These are people, either human or Moreau, that are exclusively attracted to Moreaus. Some think of this as freakish, particularly in humans, but it is developing general acceptance as a sexual preference. Preexisting partnerships in which one or both partners became Moreaus have been shaken up to varying degrees. Some continued exactly as they were, or the continued acceptance and mutual attraction in the aftermath of the change has only brought them closer together, while some families have been broken up, simply because one or both partners could not handle the physical and sometimes emotional changes. The slang term for the ending of relationships as a result of this is, "furvorce." Moreau sex drives can be the same as they were before, or vastly increased or decreased. Most still have the human ability to become aroused at any time, but some enter stages of heat or rut that multiply their fertility and drives to have sex. Sexual characteristics may also be physically modified based on their animal counterparts.

   Time has passed since the outbreak of what was dubbed, "the Moreau virus," or, to some, "the furry virus." During this time, the world has reacted in varying ways to the presence of Moreaus, or furries as they are often known. Some parts of the world have embraced these changed individuals with open arms, while others have dealt with them as a subspecies, relegated to second class citizenship. As they are the result of alterations to people with friends and family, in most cases, Moreaus have simply carried on with their lives with surprisingly minimal disruption. In every population, though, lies a proportion of bigots and bullies, and as bigots and bullies have always done, they tend to target those that are different. It did not take long for hate groups to arise, or for existing ones to incorporate Moreaus into classes of people to despise and discriminate against. "Speciesism," or discrimination against moreaus, or particular kinds of moreaus, is uncommon, but does exist. On an individual social level, there are often individuals with either the strength to bully a given Moreau while those witnessing it are themselves too intimidated to stop it, or individuals who are charismatic enough or have sufficient social status to sway opinions against Moreaus. Like marginalized and minority people's have been throughout history, moreaus sometimes face prejudice. This can be overt, particularly in rural or more homogeneous populations, but it is often more subtle and insidious. Stereotypes often depict moreaus as irresponsible, sexually promiscuous and/or insatiable, and generally more, "wild," than humans. Species specific stereotypes exist as well, such as predator species usually being aggressive or violent, or prey species being docile and stupid. Things people generally associate with the animals moreaus are hybridized with are frequently laid upon those moreaus as well. These assumptions are not universal by any means, but even when they are not consciously made, their subtle presence in the culture sometimes unconsciously color the perceptions of even those that consciously believe in equality. A major problem moreaus sometimes face is being fetishized. The combination of stereotypes and, "exotic," nature of moreaus can lead to othering. There are phenomena that parallel racist phenomena as well. Someone who fetishizes moreaus, particularly predators, is sometimes referred to as a, "queen of fangs," (much like the racist queen of spades phenomenon) with the abstract shape of a curved fang being a symbol of such people. Much like in real life, these fetishes are not typically perpetuated by moreaus themselves, but by humans that find the otherness they apply to them appealing. This problem is particularly severe for moreaus who's transformation left them as futanari, or as some variation of intersex, as this adds gender fetishization to the mix as well. Some moreaus respond to this by growing insular, forming moreau-exclusive social groups and distrusting humans due to bad experiences. "Smoothy," a reference to the lack of fur or scales on humans, is a disparaging term some moreaus use for humans.

   Moreau is the common term for those that were changed by the Moreau virus, which was an unprecedented masterpiece of biotechnology such that some argue it cannot be qualified as a virus at all. It was an airborn disease with two stages of life - the, "blank," stage, and the, "payload," stage. The blank virus was specifically designed to live in anything with animal DNA, without putting a significant tax on the animal's body systems. Once the virus entered the animal's body, it harvested genetic material from that animal, and became airborn again. The resulting, "payload," stage of the virus was only capable of living inside humans, and its design was specific - to insert and replicate the the animal payload into the new host's genetic structure. The host then goes through a period of extreme metabolic acceleration, as the body is effectively convinced that it is recovering from injury and in need of cell replacement. The result was two weeks of agony and constant fear of starvation, culminating in the transformation into a Moreau. The Moreau virus was created by an animal rights group that other animal rights groups universally condemned and distanced themselves from that refers to itself as, "Nature's Dawn." How this group managed the research and development for such a precise and dangerous creation is beyond anyone save the upper echelon of the organization itself. Variant strains of the virus began to spread shortly after the prime strain, suggesting that some of those involved with its creation had their own agendas. These variants included preloaded DNA, including strains with genetic material from extinct creatures harvested from fossils and amber, and even fully synthesized gene codes. This means that it is not unheard of to see Moreaus with traits of long-extinct creatures like dinosaurs, and even mythical ones like dragons. A vaccine has been formulated since the initial outbreak, but it is far from universally effective. This means a steady trickle of new cases have continued to arrise.

   Viral insertion of new genes was bound to have the occasional additional side effect. Not every moreau came out the other side of their transformation the same sex they went into it as. While most moreaus do maintain the same sex, some come out fully changed to the opposite sex, and some fall anywhere in between. Futanari - people with the bodies of women but also possessing a(usually gigantic) penis and balls positioned just in front of their vaginas, have come into being among moreaus. Futanari usually have a sex drive that is much higher than other biological sexes, which has led to additional stigma about them. Some moreaus, particularly young adults and adolescents, experience a sort of, "second puberty," in which some of the traits that happen at maturity in the animals they have been hybridized with begin to manifest, such as egg-laying.

   "Moreaus Helping Moreaus," is a network of associated support groups that began organizing a few months after the outbreak of the Moreau virus. The goal of the M.H.M. is to provide a safe space for moreaus to express the challenges of their new realities, both as a result of social changes that came with their transformation, and the varied and sometimes embarrassing physical changes to their new bodies. Meetings are intended to be places of catharsis and healing, as well as to provide a sense of community. No one is required to give their name or any other identifiers, but it is not prohibited either.

   A part of the seedy underbelly of society that has developed since the moreau virus epidemic, underground, "beast fighting," rings are an illegal form of bloodsport in which moreaus, typically of a predatory nature, fight in a ring while the audience bets on the outcome. Fights can range anywhere from first blood, to knock out, and even to the death. Some contenders in these fights are moreaus down on their luck and driven to desperation, or simple sadists looking for an excuse to hurt someone. Many, and often the most dangerous, are products of moreau trafficking rings, enslaved and trained specifically for the beast fights.

   As the virus alters the DNA of those that are infected by it, the resulting changes have repercussions for offspring. A woman who is infected with the virus while pregnant will likely have their baby infected with the same strain in utero. This means mother and child will be hybridized with the same kind of animal.

   Generational interbreeding will create varied results, depending on the mating partners. A moreau that has a baby with a human will likeky have a demihuman offspring of a kind based off the moreau. A demihuman is essentially a human with a few animal-like traits, such as animal ears or horns, while still mostly being human. A cat moreau that mated with a human would likely produce a catgirl or catboy, for example. Beyond the first generation, moreau traits begin to fade. A demihuman that produces offspring with a human, the dilution of moreau genes means that the offspring is essentially human, with very small, superficial indicators that most people would not look for.

   Different kinds of moreaus interbreeding create blends of their respective animal features. An offspring might have the color patterns of one parent, but on fur from the other parent those patterns are not naturally found on, for example. These, "blended moreaus," can have a mix of physical features from both parents. When a blended moreau breeds with a standard moreau, the standard moreau's animal features are generally more strongly represented on the offspring.

   Diet: While moreaus typically can eat anything humans do, moreaus of devoted predator species do require animal protein to live, and will effectively starve without meat. Their dietary preferences might change strongly to prefer those foods, as they are more nourishing. Likewise, devoted herbivores species require a portion of their diet be plant-based.

    The A.N.M.L. Act (Anti Normalization of Moreaus Legislation) AKA "Animal Act" Overview: Currently being debated in Congress, the A.N.M.L. Act is the landmark federal law that will legally codify Moreaus as a distinct, second-class citizenry. While framed as a measure for public safety, resource allocation, and scientific study, its primary function is systemic control and segregation. Key Provisions: Mandatory Registration & Identification: All Moreaus over the age of 12 must be registered in a federal database and issued a distinct biometric ID card, often colloquially called a "Brand Tag" or "Leash Paper." This ID must be carried at all times and presented upon demand to any authority figure. Failure to register is a criminal offense. Restricted Movement & Curfews: Moreaus are subject to geographic movement restrictions. Inter-state travel requires a permit, and many municipalities enforce species-specific curfews. Unregistered Moreaus can be legally classified as "feral" and are subject to immediate detainment. Employment & Housing Discrimination: The Act will explicitly permit discrimination in housing and private employment. Landlords and employers may legally refuse service or work to Moreaus based solely on their status. "Public Safety" Exceptions: The law will allow for the indefinite quarantine or "humane impoundment" of any Moreau deemed a "public safety risk," a loosely defined term often applied to predator species, those exhibiting stereotypically "wild" behavior, or those without proper registration. Revocation of Rights: The Act will strip Moreaus of the right to serve on juries and the right to vote in federal elections. It will also create a separate legal standard for "interspecies assault," where violence against a human by a Moreau is treated as a more severe crime than the inverse. Impact: The A.N.M.L. Act will normalize speciesism under the guise of bureaucracy. It will provide the legal framework for the badges of second-class citizenship, fostering an environment where hate groups can operate with impunity and human supremacy is the law of the land. For humans who fetishize Moreaus, the power imbalance codified by the Act will add a dangerous and coercive layer to their dynamics.

    The refined strain of the moreau virus is a weaponized version of the virus whose timetable has been advanced from weeks to mere minutes. The strain is highly volatile, and has a very short lifespan once activated. It is typically dispersed in an aerosolized vapor. The, "blank," stage of the virus must typically be artificially exposed to the generic material it will then carry. While agents of pure chaos may expose their virus to a multitude of samples, making exposure a, "roll of the dice in terms of what sort of animal a subject may be hybridized with, deliberate exposure to a single specific kind of genetic material is possible, guaranteeing exposure will lead to predictable results. A batch of the refined virus exposed to a cocktail of genetic samples will result in a random example from that cocktail, while a batch exposed only to wolf genetic matter would result in only wolf moreaus, for example.

    Some moreaus find themselves with entirely new biological systems and functions. These can vary as wildly as nature itself, and how these manifest varies greatly as well. The vast majority of moreaus retain some capacity for air breathing. Gills in those that develop them typically grow in parallel with an existing respiratory system rather than replacing it, but sometimes demand submersion in an appropriately salinated or fresh body of water on a scheduled basis. This is dealt with in ways ranging from specialty tubs or soaking pools to simply moving to coastal or lake areas. Some moreaus find themselves suddenly capable of producing new materials. Spinnerettes that produce webbing, venom glands, and poison secretion are not unheard of. Web production and similar survival adaptations often have powerful instincts associated with them that may, in some cases, demand the presence of these materials within the moreau's home to be entirely comfortable. Some of these functions may also be sought-after commercially, such as the creation of silk proteins. Those that secrete venom, poison, or unique mucouses typically produce the same sorts as their animal counterparts, under similar conditions (voluntarily or emotionally driven in some cases, constant involuntary production in others). Some new biological secretions may demand supplements or altered diets to provide the body the raw materials necessary to create them.

    Ecomimicry is a specialized, growing industry based on the concept that being a moreau is not a disadvantage if the environment around the moreau is tailored to their abilities. It suggests that the reason many moreaus have a harder time in their surroundings is simply because the infrastructure of their surroundings is designed to be optimized for humans. In practice, ecomimicry is simply the creation of furniture and structures optimized for particular moreau body types, though the name comes from the fact that many such changes mirror elements of natural animal habitats. Most ecomimicry is, at current, done on an individual level for households, and is specialized and personalized enough to be fairly expensive. The most common example of ecomimicry furniture is known as a, "Hometree." A hometree is essentially wooden pole or poles, with, "branches," extending roughly horizontally from its upper section to pass within easy reach of key parts of a household. They are typically either bolted to the floor or the branches fastened to studs in the building's walls at multiple locations. Their designs vary from vague immitation of actial trees, to carved structures that resemble elaborately carved regency table legs.These structures allow arboreal moreaus, which are often smaller than human average, to access things that would normally be inaccessible or move through spaces using locomotion their bodies are designed for. Other examples of ecomimicry include indoor water features, beds designed to mimic the resting places of a variety of animals, and furniture designed with tails and unconventional limbs in mind. Ecomimicry can, however, be architectural in nature, and incorporate water channels, unconventional fire pole style floor openings through which hometree branches can extend, and similar structural features. The industry is, at current, dominated by mostly moreau-owned small and regional businesses, as the tailored nature of ecomimicry makes it difficult to mass produce by larger companies.
