You were born an animal of your choice, either growing up in the wilderness, rummaging for scraps in a township, or captured and kept in a zoo or as a pet. While still young, a large puddle of glowing liquid was splashed over you, causing a change to your very essence. Over the next weeks your mind expanded and thoughts sharpened. You began walking on two legs, and the digits of your hand reshaped to allow for grabbing and using tools. While you still have flashes of your previous life, there is no memory of who changed your to be like this. Unique, but alone, Even in places where you don't know the specific features of the terrain, you know the ways of the wild.
