Many, many, centuries ago a dark evil spread across the land from the alternate dimension of the earth. The parallel universe used to be the barrier between good and evil, yet someday that barrier un-naturaly broke, releaing dark spirits and allowing them to roam free. The world went into panic, houses were burnt, shops broken down, the whole political system fell to ashes, and the mania began to spread across every part of the globe. The dark spirits destroyed when they could, and remained guarding the sky for a fresh soul to burn. Within that hour of their release, a man name Argubel Deren came forth to the president with his solution, one only a mad man would even dream of doing, yet the president accepted his solution with hope of a better future.
The solution was far from simple. Many tests had begun in Area 51, and people had been taken out of their homes or safehouses out of their will to the area to be tested on. Argubel had come up with a theory, that the dark spirits could become light spirits, as night becomes day, and he even had the proof, a captured paralyzed dark spirit of a wolf. He and his team admired after time how the wolf changed colour from grey to white, and it's ghostly form vanished and was replaced by a physical body. With this he concluded that all imobile spirits turn physical once stabalised, and began work on his next trick, fusing with a human. He discovered that in a physical form, the spirits could not be easily transfered into a human body, thus a dark spirit would have to be paralyzed and transfered in quickly before it got a physical form. Only 12 spirits were successfully transfered into the human body. His predictions were accurate, and as the spirits were transformed with their inactivity, they turned into a pysical form, however since they were inside the human, their bodies reacted in such a way that the two animals combined together, (human & spirit) to create a new breed of human.
The lab was later destroyed by the CIA who discovered the cruelty that was taking place to the humans, and read through all of Argubel's research, understanding how to fight the spirits. There had been no more spirits tracked down, (in other words, no more spirits could enter the alternate dimension) so when the world heard of how to defeat the spirits, everyone was in on it, rebelling against the spirits in the world and turning them into physical forms. The world regrew, and so did the families of the spirit people...
You are a descendant of one of the 12 families of spirit people, a humanoid in a sense, and you have control over how people see you, wether that be human, animal, or a bit of both. You also possess extraordinary powers, however unfortunately, if either your spirit self or your powers were to be shown to the general public, they would generally shred you to pieces remembering tragic history, and thinking you as an evil spirit. The CIA have sussed you out of the general rabble and placed you into a form of academy for you to revise upon your powers and to meet others like you. You have been moved from wherever you originated from to England without consent and are now situated far beneath London Tower. You can only go out into the light when the guards permit so, and when you do, and you fail to with-hold your spirit self, you are instantly shot down as others have before you. In here, you have to be strong willed, and survive, or your time will be miserable. You have no connection to family, friends or anyone for a matter of fact, which can be quite daunting too. This rp will be rough, tough, and an emotional roller coaster, with lots of chances for romance and violence.
