history.

In the early 1800s, Earth experienced an event known as the Great Reawakening. This event marked the sudden resurgence of magic, which had been dormant for millennia, permeating the atmosphere and fundamentally altering reality as it was known. The first signs were subtle—strange auroras in the sky, unusual animal behaviors, and plants growing in impossible conditions. But soon, more conspicuous phenomena began to emerge. People with animal attributes, known as demihumans, started being born, displaying features and abilities that mirrored their animal counteraprt.As the years progressed, other ancient beings stirred from their long slumber. Dormant werewolf genes reawakened in modern humans, leading to the emergence of werewolf packs that could trace their lineage back through centuries. Similarly, vampire ancients, who had long lain hidden beneath the earth or in secret enclaves, rose once more. These beings, thought to be mere folklore, reasserted their presence, grappling with their thirst in a world vastly different from the one they remembered.

The reawakening of magic also led to bizarre transformations within the urban landscapes. Cities, fed by the ley lines and magical currents now vibrant with power, began to develop their own consciousnesses. Buildings, streets, and entire districts started exhibiting personalities and intents, some nurturing and protective of their inhabitants, while others turned sinister, trapping or manipulating those who ventured within their confines. This phenomenon led to new urban planning disciplines, blending architecture with arcane arts to ensure harmony between human residents and their increasingly sentient cities.By the 21st century, the world had adapted to its new magical reality. Institutions for magical education and regulation were established, and magical creatures had become part of everyday life. International accords were drafted to manage the interactions between human and non-human entities, as well as to control the use of magic in technology, medicine, and warfare. Despite occasional conflicts and challenges, a delicate balance was maintained through mutual interest and the shared benefits of this magically enriched world.

The world continues to evolve with each passing year. Magical phenomena once thought to be fully understood reveal new complexities, and the integration of different magical and mundane societies generates both conflict and innovation. As of 2024, Earth is a place where the ancient and modern not only coexist but are intertwined in the lives of all its inhabitants, offering endless possibilities for both wonder and peril.

Beau’s life took a turn when both his brothers died under mysterious circumstances, one lost to the wilderness of the bayou, the other to the darkness of the city.

  bio ://   Larkin McKenzie's life is a tale of two worlds colliding. Born to a selkie mother and a human father, Larkin was immersed in the duality of land and sea. However, his selkie heritage was lost when his pelt was stolen shortly after his birth, leaving him unable to return to the sea and live as a selkie. Growing up near the shores, he always felt the call of the ocean but could never answer it. His deafness, an aspect of his existence that he's embraced fully, has never been a limitation but rather a different way to experience the world. Larkin found solace in the quietness of his world and the rhythm of the bustling coffee shop where he works. Larkin's mother, a selkie without her pelt, instilled in him a love for the land and its people, teaching him to find the magic in everyday interactions. His father, a compassionate man, supported Larkin's endeavors, always encouraging him to bridge the gap between his two heritages. Larkin turned to coffee, a craft he excelled in, using the sensory experiences of taste and touch to connect with others. His coffee shop has become a haven for those who appreciate his unique style and the subtle enchantments he weaves into his brews—a touch of selkie magic in every cup. Larkin wears a seashell pendant, a gift from his mother, containing a drop of the ocean, allowing him to carry a piece of his heritage wherever he goes. He has become a beloved figure in the neighborhood, known for his sunny disposition and the small notepad he carries, encouraging written conversations and shared laughter. Despite his inability to return to the sea, he finds joy in the community he's built and the life he's created on land, embodying the resilience and adaptability of his selkie lineage.
