It was the year 4603. Humanity was growing again, but was still only a shadow of its former self. The human race was holed up in fortress like cities that dotted the map with large swathes of countryside that lay between them. The minotaur-esqe race of Fera's lived in the cities alongside humans. They mostly provided manual labor for the large cities, as they were genetically engineered for exactly that purpose by humans before the disaster. In the countryside lat scattered and remote villages inhabited by the Seratin. They are a race that are very similar to humans, although blue in skin color and with a reptile like tongue. The colonized the earth around the year 3500, though not much is known of their early years on Earth.<br/><br/>The disaster occurred around the year 3700. A large meteor struck the Earth, killing the vast majority of life. Fallout from the meteor spread corruption and wrecked havoc with the DNA of the surviving animals. Many were turned to monsters, humans, sertain, and fera included. These monsters vary in shape and size, there is no rhythm or reason to them, other than they are across the board aggressive, even to each other. Few escaped being turned into such monsters, those that did formed the foundation of society we see today. Due to the corruption, an increased amount of sexual abnormalities has sprung up. Causing a vast increase in the number of Futanari's and traps in the general populace.<br/><br/>We start our adventure outside of the largest human city, Taun, near the ruins of New York. Large metal walls jut from the blackened earth outside. Smoke billows from smokestacks that can be seen above the top of the walls. These smokestacks fueled humanities future. Production had to be self contained within the city, due to the dangerous countryside, and factories abound within Taun.<br/><br/>Ayaaru reached the gate protecting Taun. It was open, with an odd assortment of carts and pack animals passing through. There was no motorized transport besides trains, which were limited by the few usable tracks and a few stream boats which were heavily limited in range. These carts and animals would be supplying the outlying Seratin villages that relied on Taun for production and protection. Ayaaru was a seratin. She was about 4'9" with an emerald green halfhawk, with midnight blue streaks running through it. Her skin was a milky blue, with tattoos running the length of her arms and covering various portions of her body. She had piercings in her navel, nipples, nose, labret, and tongue, along with a jacob's ladder on her cock. To be fair, Ayaaru wasn't exactly a "she." Ayaaru was a trap. Genetically a boy, but with very feminine features. She was an explorer who specialized in the retention and recovery of lost technology. This was a very well paying job as it was very dangerous and there was a high demand by scientists and the human government to discover forgotten technology that might help them.<br/><br/>Ayaaru had a choice now. She could go to the inn that she spied just within the gate and get some food and drink, and maybe event a warm place to stay for the night. Often people with deep pockets were looking for explorer's that would be willing on going on more dangerous, but higher paying missions than the Explorer's Guild would service. Or she could venture further into the city to the Explorer's Guild office. She knew where it was, she had been there once before to take her Explorer's exam before she was officially certified. They could help her find her first job, but it might not be as well paying or exciting as what she might find in the inn.<br/><br/>The sun was already setting on the first day as Ayaaru took her first step into Taun, and hopefully, an exciting new chapter of her life.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
