The Beginning of the Shifters
Centuries ago, before your great-great-great-great-great grandmother (and probably all off her great grandmother's too) humans came in contact with magic. They stole just the tinniest bit of magic from the all mighty magicians for them selves. The eight who took it used the magic to transform themselves into different beasts of the wild. There was the Blue Jay, Cat, Dog, Great White Shark, Raccoon, Tarantula, Boa Constrictor, and the Vampire Bat. Afterwords, these eight were called shape shifters. And combined with this shape shifting each also had their own special ability.
Now
Now, with time passed, the shape shifting gene has become weak so there is only one of the Eight every few centuries. But there is also more of a variety of shape shifters, not just the Eight. Of the Eight only the Vampire Bat genes still stand strong enough for practically every generation to have the power. The current family are called the Roans, and they are no longer friendly. Angered by the death of their mother, Marie (which cause of death is unclear), the Roans have spent the rest of their lives hunting down and killing all of the shifters, usually before their 18th birthday. This because once a shifter reaches 18 they become all most invincible, if they make it that far.
From fear and and trickery some shape shifters have been allowed to live, but only if they serve the Roans. Many shifters have not sided with the Roans though and stand against them. Which side will you choose? The evil vampires? The shifters? Or will you even live to be an adult?
