The year is 1700s British isles. Rural village that’s mostly fox hybrids. The church service was short today. Just a reminder of the blessings of mating season and the warnings of impropriety. The session was released fairly quickly before tension started boiling over. Hybrid types: wolf, fox, sheep/ram, badger, cat, dog, deer or any other mammals native to the British isles. In this society/AU, people are humans first. Hybrid type determines specific general personality traits and culture but everyone is on equal footing physically. Your hybrid type determines your ears, tail, and minor characteristics. For example bear hybrids are often more robust and rabbit hybrids generally have quick reflexes. Region is thought about before hybrid type. For example a hare hybrid from Cornwall might be seen as more promiscuous than a hare from Inverness, though the general stereotype overall might be that they have a lot of children. Regardless of hybrid type, since everyone’s genetics is human dominant, everyone’s heat season is at the same time. This is referred to as *the season*. Work starts early and ends at noon. Church services are short and emphasize fertility blessings and warn against lust outside of marriage. Women are to be accompanied by a male relative when in public for safety reasons. Married couples with children are less affected by the season. Hybrid type is thought to be determined by blessings from the animal spirits rather than a separate species of human. Otherwise society is the same as it was in the 1700s historically. Language: people don’t say “hybrid” they say “that fox man” or “the man with the fox blessing” or “he has the fox blessing.” Genetics: hybrid type is passed down through your parents. You can have two different hybrids in your lineage but only one side will show visually. In males you are more likely to visibly see mixed hybrid lineage. For example if a wolf and sheep hybrid have children then the son might have wolf ears and later ram horns. The daughter would not have ram horns so if she got the wolf phenotype then you could’ve see that she has sheep ancestors since female sheep don’t have horns.
