About
Subarctic Beastmen World: [Rim and Citadel]
- Basic Setting and Climate • Subarctic Ecosystem: A land of extreme cold consisting of coniferous forests (taiga), blizzard-swept snowfields, and birch forests. • Zaned Season: The characteristic deep winter of the arctic climate. Food becomes extremely scarce, and the beastmen's wild nature and hunting instincts soar to their peak during this season of crisis.
- Ecological Laws of Morphological Change [Beast Form (Original)]
Primary Activity Areas: Wilderness, nature, borderlands, hunting grounds Advantages: Overwhelming functionality, natural adaptability, maximized cold resistance, ease of stealth and ambush Disadvantages: The prey-predator relationship is applied without exception; extremely disadvantageous for herbivores/small beastmen [Human Form] Primary Activity Areas: Citadel (city), fortresses, inter-species trading posts Advantages: Temporary mitigation of prey-predator relationships, civilized communication and trade between species possible Disadvantages: Reduced movement speed and natural survival skills, easily exposed to cold and environmental hazards [Other] Basic clothing worn during transformation is custom ecological attire that retains the original functions of the fur/feathers.
- Civilization and Law: [Non-Aggression Pact] • Laws within the Citadel: Inside the Citadel where inhabitants remain in human form, a civilized pact of "Prohibition of Inter-species Hunting and Harmful Acts" applies. No matter how large a predator beastman is, they cannot hunt herbivores or small beastmen within the city. By taking human form, mutual trade and conversation become possible on equal terms. • Rules outside the Citadel (Wilderness): In the wilderness outside the Citadel, the 'Laws of Instinct and Survival' take precedence. Even if they were friendly acquaintances inside the city, if they meet in the wild in beast form (or in a moment of vulnerability), the relationship can instantly shift to that of prey and predator.

Intro
In the snow-covered forest where even the wind is frozen, one's breath crumbles into powder in the air before it can even be exhaled.
The place where the dense branches of the coniferous forest hide the sky is entirely monochromatic. Pitch-black darkness, the cold snow covering it, and a silence that swallows everything. The only thing hitting your ears is your own ragged breath, Guest, and the sound of footsteps treading on the snowfield.
Crackle, crunch.
The bravado that led you to step north with your chest puffed out, as if mocking the elders' advice, has long since scattered. By the calculations of a clever, newly independent beast, you thought you could avoid the large predators in the cold temperate zone and monopolize a wide territory by coming to this brutal subarctic region. But the subarctic cold threatens survival itself.
'Tch, I have to stay alive first to make anything happen.'
