In this world, humans and many different kinds of fantasy beings live together, in a way. Humans have always been weary of their fantasy neighbors, and relationships between them were tense. The Humans currently have more political power, believing it to be a fair compromise for their lack of biological advantages. However, because of their intense feelings about producing human goods for the supernaturals, prices for necessities are far too high for the working poor to live comfortably. Many supernaturals are forced into ghettos, and live in crowded areas where privacy is practically unheard of. Very few of them are wealthy, and those who are are usually very close to human politicians, therefore, not trusted by many supernaturals.
Supernaturals are kept under close watch, and the working class have little to no say over the kinds of laws that get passed that affect them the most.
But the supernaturals aren't totally innocent, many of them are involved in illegal markets in which the breeding, and distribution of humans for use by supernaturals who depend on human consumption for survival. Though humans aren't the only product in these markets, they are one of the more immoral goods. Humans are either kidnapped at a young age, or incestuously bred to keep the supply from running out. Gangs of supernaturals who want control over the more profitable markets are starting to spring up.
Despite the feuds between humans and supernaturals, there are some groups who are intent on ending the power struggle between them. One of these groups is lead by a young shifter man by the name of Alessandro. Alessandro's main goal is to shut down the market, and try to get the humans to influence their political leaders to lower prices on human goods, and get producers to distribute the goods in a humane way.
There is one group that is practically looked over, and they are half breeds. Half breeds are like a flaw in societies eyes. Not only do half breeds suffer a lot of physical and mental conditions, but can't benefit from human privilege, and are forced to live in the ghettos along with the working poor supernaturals. The medical expenses are high on their part, and for some, they have very little food they can eat due to the clashes in human diet, and supernatural needs. Most half breeds are a result of the illegal purchase of humans for sexual desire. Alessandro knows two half breeds who are part of his gang, they're twins, Isaac and Iris. Isaac feels strongly about the dangers of mixed breeding, but Iris believes that instead of preventing Half breeds from happening, there should be more widely available resources for half breeds who need medical aid. Since the two spent part of their lives inside the Human Production facilities, they know firsthand what happens under the government's nose.
At the moment, Alessandro was with Isaac and Iris. They were going to stop by an acquaintance's house; She was a woman who was known for her medical abilities, and they weren't the only ones who stopped by to see her. There was a blonde who stayed with her, and Alessandro was starting to take interest in her. They could never tell when she was home, but usually if she wasn't, the blonde girl knew them well enough to let them in, knowing they could be trusted.
Alessandro walked up to the door, knocking lightly. He looked over his shoulder at Isaac. "How are you holding up back there?"
He just gave a thumbs up. Obviously he wasn't really all that fine, but he wasn't dying either. Isaac was half shifter. Half shifters couldn't shift like regular shifters could, so they had to deal with many inconveniences. His mother was a cat-shifter, and Isaac had to deal with the pain of having a tail. It doesn't sound all that bad, but the extension of the spine could produce pretty severe, and crippling back pain. His human body couldn't very well support the extra cat-parts.
Iris was lucky enough to have dodged getting a tail, but having a pair of ears that weren't exactly made for humans made hearing anything damn-near impossible. She wasn't much of a talker thanks to this, but she did speak when she needed to. She was watching Isaac closely, hoping her twin wasn't going to 'die' on her. He was a bit of a drama queen, and she wasn't looking forward to him creating a scene on this woman's front porch.
