Background Info
Since the beginning of time, or when human beings roamed the earth, they weren't alone. Of course there were animals and other living creatures, but that's not what I mean. Shifters roam the earth alongside the humans as well, hiding their presence either in their animal form or human form. But their existence has remained a secret...until now. Nowadays the existence of shifters is common knowledge, the humans know of them, and begrudging co-exist with them. Some humans don't mind and welcome the shifters, others don't. The shifters didn't like getting revealed but being out in the open has made things easier for them. They no longer have to hide as much, but their abilities still scare people and there are people who discriminate against them, but it's not like humans can beat the shifters who are naturally stronger than humans. But of course, this doesn't stop fights from happening, segregation sometimes happens as well. Since the humans have the police and court to protect them, the shifters have made their own court, a system to protect the rights of shifters. The system is called the Directorate and many of the memebers work as shifter police as well as other jobs, like forensics or hackers, protecting their kind from unfairness from the humans, they are called guardians. But even that doesn't stop things from happening. Many shifters and humans are killed, accidentally or purposely because single people who can't get along together. Jump into the world of Shifters and humans, fighting for peace, and struggling along the way. Shifters have blended well into the human world, having taken on jobs and have families, heck halfbreeds, offspring of a shifter and human aren't uncommon but still rare. Shifters naturally live longer than humans, about 30 years longer and maintain a young appearance longer than a humans.Once a shifter hits 30 years of age their physical appearance starts aging slower so they might be 60 years old but still look around 50 maybe. Before the age the 30 they physically age like regular humans.
Extra Information
The only way a shifter is different from a human is because shifters carry an animal aspect of them onto their human form, usually unusual hair color or animal like eyes. Also the natural fur and eye color of the animal is usually the hair and eye color of the human form. Like a regular tiger shifter in human form would have orange hair, a flamingo shifter would have pink hair. If the animal is hairless, well then the human is bald. But the human form can always dye their hair, but the dye doesn't affect their animal form. Also depending on the animal the shifter's strength is determined. Animal shifters like bears, tigers, or wolves have abnormal strength. Bird shifters are light on their feet and can almost float. Rodent shifters are small in size. Rabbit shifters are quick. Hooved shifters like horses, deer, moose have good endurance and sturdy frames. Aquatic shifters of course can swim just like their animal counterparts. Snake shifters have infrared vision and slim bodies. If you have a question about what strengths your shifter has, put an OOC in your post and I'll answer you via either PM or through my posts. Any kind of shifter can mate together although the species usually stick to their own kind. So wolf shifter with wolf shifters, but usually if the animals are in the same family like a wolf shifter can mate with a dog shifter. In this case the offspring will be a hybrid, ex. a wolfdog shifter or a moose/deer shifter. Shifters have a faster metabolism than humans do so they usually have a slimmer form, unless of course they just gorge themselves. Fat shifters aren't impossible.
Your Role
In this RP you can either play as a shifter or human, or both. Just make a simple bio (I will provide an example) and just hop into the fray. A shifter is a creature who has a one human appearance, as well as one animal appearance. They can be any animal they want to be, be it a mouse, or a bear. You can even be a fish for all I care, although you'd have to put yourself into an aquatic area. When in human shape and morphing into animal shape, the clothes change along with the body but when you change back to human, the clothes are usually ripped or torn (tops mainly) or you might be even naked. 
So either you can strip before you morph or take the chance of ruining your clothing.
Bio Form
You can make another character anytime throughout the RP. Just have the bio on the upper half of your post, then put a line or some spaces, and then the bottom half is your IC post
My character:
Name: Kye Monrey
Age: 26 year old
Race: Arctic wolf shifter
Occupation: Directorate Guardian
Personality: A laid back wolf who takes his job as a guardian seriously but at other times is quite lazy and lackadaisical wanting nothing more than to sit at home and smoke. He dislikes humans and doesn't really mingle with them, preferring to stay with his own kind. The only time when he is at the top of his game is when he's on a serious mission. otherwise he's sometimes rude and disinterested in many things. His preferred weapon are two steel tonfas and he's a close range fighter.
History: He is a pureblood wolf shifter. His parents were killed when their car was "accidentally" hit by a truck driven by a racist human. He was adopted by a directorate guardian and trained to be one from a young age.
Appearance (picture optional): Kye is 6'1ft tall with a muscular but lean frame. He has white hair and blue eyes. He usually looks bored but his eyes get life when he's on a mission.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kye Monrey sat in a coffee shop table, reading the daily newspaper with one hand while his other was holding a small spoon and stirring his steaming coffee, vanilla latte, quite ironic considering his personality. The wolf shifter licked his lips absentmindedly missing the feeling of a cigarette in his mouth, but the shop didn't allow smoking so he had to endure.
Some of the occupants of the cafe shot him odd looks, know what he was from his unusual white hair. Yeah normal people didn't have white hair when they looked 26. It'd been a long time since shifters were revealed to human society but some distrust and hatred still ran deep. Putting the spoon down, he picked up his coffee and took a sip of his drink, relishing in the fresh taste.
He swung his neck in a circle, feeling satisfied at the popping sound he heard. Oh man he just got off work an hour ago and he only got 4 hours of sleep. Working for the Directorate could be a pain in the neck sometimes. Literally. He flipped the page of the newspaper to find that human women have gone missing and later were found dead. All evidence pointed to shifters as the culprit. Great, another case he'd probably have to solve.
Suddenly the door to the cafe banged open, causing the eyes of the customers to turn to it. Kye slowly raised his blue eyes to see why there was silence. There standing in the door were three big men, human men might he add from their scent. Humans always had a different smell then other shifters. The men looked around the cafe with angry eyes, then the leader ripped the newspaper away from a close by person and raised up the page about the missing women and showed it to everyone. "Who here is a shifter? Stand up and face the consequences if ya are you rotten lot!", the macho guy yelled as he shook the paper and looked around the place with angry eyes.
Kye remained seated but looked around as well for anyone who would stand up. If things got messy he would have to step in but he really really really didn't want to.
The Directorate jobs are like government jobs, but for shifters. So for occupation, put a job you want your shifter to have, they have to make money to live too 8) And yes history is optional
