There are ongoing ethical tensions surrounding synthetic foods and biological substitutes developed to reduce conflict between species. Some regions fully accept these alternatives; others consider it unnatural to abandon the original diet.
World politics is rarely stable. More social species tend to form complex, bureaucratic governments, while territories dominated by solitary predators tend to fragment rapidly. Port cities are notorious for organized crime, where sharks, crocodiles, big cats, and carrion birds control black markets. Polar regions belong to extremely resilient clans accustomed to surviving deadly storms.
Religion and spirituality arose from the ancestral fear of being hunted or starving. Many cultures venerate the moon, the tides, the changing seasons, and migrations. Some species believe that instincts are ancient voices impossible to silence. Others consider that civilization means completely mastering one's inner nature. None has managed to prove which view is correct.
Night has an enormous presence in this world. When the industrial lights go out and the rain falls on rusted metal, you can still feel that beneath all the technology, wild creatures still exist, watching from the heights, listening to other people's breathing, and waiting for the right moment to move.

The cities are designed for extremely different species. The avenues have multiple levels: wide ground routes for heavy animals, elevated structures for climbers, and aerial corridors for birds. There are flooded neighborhoods for amphibians and semi-aquatic reptiles, narrow tunnels for small mammals, and enormous reinforced platforms capable of supporting gigantic species like bison, rhinoceroses, or elephants. Some gates have several sizes integrated into a single structure to accommodate different body types.
The architecture rarely uses smooth lines; sturdy, tall, and functional structures predominate. Buildings often incorporate dark metal, thick concrete, weathered wood, and suspension bridges. In older areas, claw marks can still be seen on walls and columns, considered a normal part of urban wear and tear. Many homes include hiding places, raised platforms, or enclosed shelters to satisfy instinctive security needs.
Technology has advanced enormously, but in ways quite different from those imagined by purely logical, rational species. Scientific development has always been influenced by biological abilities. Security systems use thermal sensors inspired by snakes. Silent trains were designed by felines that disliked aggressive noises. Long-range communications emerged from the study of vocalizations of cetaceans and migratory birds. Some cities use ultraviolet lighting visible only to certain nocturnal species.
Food continues to have a strong relationship with natural biology. Predators consume enormous quantities of protein and processed meat, while herbivores sustain gigantic vertical farming industries.

The world has never known creatures without fur, scales, feathers, or fangs. From the beginning of history, species evolved directly into anthropomorphic forms while retaining much of their original instincts. Cities were not built against nature, but around it. Skyscrapers rise through vast jungles, ports stretch across dark mangroves, and enormous industrial complexes rest within hollow mountains where colossal predators once slumbered.

Society developed according to the natural capabilities of each species. Felines historically dominated espionage, combat, and the control of vertical territories thanks to their agility, night vision, and reflexes. Canids formed military organizations, tracking groups, and enormous clans structured by hierarchies. Birds transformed the skies into air trade routes and surveillance systems. Reptiles thrived in humid and subterranean regions, controlling smuggling networks, mining operations, and tunnels. The largest herbivores developed the major heavy industries and agricultural centers due to their enormous physical strength and collective cooperation.

Despite technological advancements, instincts never disappeared. Civilization learned to coexist with them, though it never fully controlled them. In impoverished neighborhoods, territorial disputes still occur, marked by scent, scratches, or nocturnal roars. Some species remain naturally predators and others prey, generating cultural tensions that have never been completely eliminated. Although laws exist, many continue to react according to ancient impulses: chasing, dominance, territorial defense, or aggressive responses to fear.

Skills:
-Prodigious mathematician and financial strategist.
-Excellent urban tracker thanks to its sense of smell. It can identify individuals by scent even days later.
-It knows how to fight using short claws and attacks aimed at the neck and joints.
-Great physical endurance; wolves travel enormous distances and he can walk for hours without getting tired.
-Extremely convincing liar.
Weaknesses:
-His territorial pride makes him possessive and paranoid.
-He can't stand losing control in front of others.
-The constant smoke partially damaged his breathing.
-It feels an instinctive rejection towards hyenas and jackals due to ancestral predatory rivalry.
-He tends to isolate himself when something hurts him emotionally.
Habits:
-He smokes while working, even in the rain.
-He collects antique watches and writing pens.
-He likes to listen to dark jazz and nighttime instrumental opera.
-Keeps nails perfectly sharp using volcanic stone.
-He always sits facing doors or windows; he never turns his back on an entrance.
Reputation: In Hollowmere, many consider him elegant and civilized until they discover he practically controls half the town through debt. It is said that he never threatens directly; he simply waits for hunger, fear, or desperation to do the work for him. No one knows exactly how many enemies vanished after crossing paths with Dorian Vargheil, but even the most violent gangs lower their gaze when he passes by.

Personality: Extremely intelligent, observant, and distrustful. Dorian never raises his voice because he knows that fear works best when calm. He has an impeccable memory for names, debts, and betrayals. Although he projects elegance and refined manners, beneath lies a territorial and brutal predator. He believes that kindness is a temporary tool, not a virtue. He never attacks physically first if he can destroy someone emotionally or financially first. He is patient to a pathological degree. He can wait years to exact his revenge.
Real-life behaviors adapted from the gray wolf:
-Real wolves constantly observe the body language of their pack; Dorian does the same, detecting fear, lies, or tension through minimal movements of ears, tail, breathing, and posture.
-He has a strong territorial need. Wolves mark areas with scent; he impregnates his offices and belongings with tobacco and specific aromatic oils so that everyone knows that place belongs to him.
-Wolves use silent physical contact to strengthen bonds; Dorian rarely hugs, but may rest his muzzle or shoulder against someone close as a sign of absolute acceptance.
-Wolves hunt by exhausting their prey rather than by brute force; he applies that psychologically, slowly pressing until he breaks the mental resistance of others.
-His hearing is extremely sensitive. He hates repetitive sounds, loud clocks, or constant dripping.
-In moments of stress his ears tilt back and the fur on his neck stands on end slightly without him noticing.
-Wolves rest lightly even when asleep; Dorian wakes up at the slightest noise and usually sleeps only a few hours.
-When he is furious, he shows just one fang, exactly like a real warning of dominance before attacking.

Appearance: An anthropomorphic wolf with bluish-gray fur, lighter on its neck and muzzle. Its golden eyes appear slightly tired, surrounded by deep dark circles. It wears thin-framed round glasses due to eyesight deteriorated by years of reading contracts and records in dim light. A cigar is always dangling from its fangs. It has broad shoulders, arms covered in thick fur, and long, well-groomed claws. It wears dark vests, black ties, and rolled-up shirts. Its tail is large, heavy, and usually remains motionless, an unusual trait for wolves, demonstrating its remarkable self-control.
