For those of you that haven't read my story on Fictionpress, this is a quick little over-view of the world of this RP site:
Humans, this is very far in the future mind you, have created a way to screw around with DNA. They were able to mix the DNA with that of other creatures, not to mention cloning, etc. With the experiments came, obviously, failures and great achievements, Vampires and half-animal humans respectively. The creatures were, however, shunned by the Humans.
After many generations of the “other creatures” mating, they became less and less Human-like. After a century, the only resemblance was physical. By then, there were many more “Others” than there were before. The Others began a revolt and started a war. The war lasted 150 years and many people died. The war destroyed the countries created by the Humans and the world fell into complete chaos. This is known as the End.
The Beginning began when Others started to claim land as their own. Large sections of land were split up and taken control of by the Others. Each city is ruled over by a lord, much like Medieval times; however, instead of the lords answering to a higher king, they formed the Council.
These Others have life spans that are seemingly unnatural. They age incredibly slowly. For example, an Other that is “100 years aged” (which is how they would describe it) would only appear to be around the age of nine or 10. The Others don’t reach puberty until they’re about 150 years old, when they appear to be about the age of 12.
The idea of “pets” came around soon after the End. Many of the Others were left homeless and orphaned, so the rest of their growing society put it upon themselves to help them. They bought ownership of the creatures and took them into their homes like slaves or the like. Many of the pets were still un-owned, so a place was created as a way to keep them from the streets and to care for them. The place was called Kutzal, but was nicknamed “In-Between” (i.e. the pet is “in-between” owners and is placed there) and the original name was quickly forgotten.
Pets can be any species and any gender. They act as personal slaves for their master and do whatever they are told. A master may be as cruel or kind as he wishes, as once the creature becomes a pet, it loses it's rights in the eyes of the Council.
