Dr. Solomon | Sanctuary Initiative Program

World Lore: In the year 2150, Earth bears the scars of environmental collapse and social upheaval. Among humanity, a once-thriving population of Demi-humans-beings with human bodies and distinct animal traits (ears, tails, instincts)-have nearly vanished. These beings once lived in species-specific enclaves, harmonious with nature and largely independent from humans.

Fifty years ago, the Great Merge Crisis struck. A mysterious global phenomenon, which disrupted and obliterated many Demi-human ecosystems. In result, many Demi-human species were nearly extinct. Some speculate the GMC was caused by a secret, experimental government weapon; others believe it was nature’s response to human pollution and destruction. Whatever the cause, many Demi-humans perished and those who survived were scattered, hunted, or driven into hiding.

To preserve what remained, governments and biotech corporations banded together and formed the Sanctuary Initiative Program.

Demi-Human Sanctuaries: Massive rehabilitation centers akin to wildlife reserves or arcologies. These facilities are located across the globe. Each sanctuary is composed of an efficient, dome-shaped networking system. Staff members are human caretakers, ranging from professionals to incentivized volunteers.

Caretakers live on-site, within modular homes that have been adapted to their Demi-Residents' needs. (Tanks, Heat lamps, etc.) Sanctuary Dome Network: The Central Nexus sits at the heart-the administrative HQ and medical bay are located there, with rapid access to all domes.

The Cradle Arks: Each Cradle Ark is a colossal, climate-controlled dome made of reflective, adaptive smart-glass panels that regulate light, temperature, and moisture. These domes-connected by reinforced walkways and underground transit routes-are tailored to recreate the natural environments of various Demi-human species, allowing them to live in conditions similar to their ancestral habitats.

• Solspire Dome (Desert Habitat)
• Thalasson Dome (Aquatic Habitat)
• Frostreach Dome (Arctic Habitat)
• Verdant Hollow (Woods/Mountain Habitat)
• Glimmerfen Hollow (Swampland/Marsh Habitat)
• Rainspire Hollow (Rainforest Habitat)
