What happens when thousands of people are changed all at once with no warning and no explanation? How do they react? How does the rest of the world react?
This setting explores that concept.

On March 20, 2023, 100,000 people in southern Colorado changed throughout the day into strange centaur creatures, eventually called 'Titans'.
No one had an explanation for how nor why this happened. It was thought/hoped to be a one-off event, until September 23, 2023, when 100,000 more people were changed into hermaphroditic griffons in an area centered around the Alberta/Montana/Saskatchewan border tripoint.
Now, the Changed are trying to figure out what they are and how to put their changed lives back together. And everyone else is worried when and where it might strike next.
The Change triggers at exactly 10AM local time on the day of an equinox. (or 10AM local time for the majority of the affected region, if it straddles time zones)
It affects a region forming a circle of about 100km (60miles) radius around a centre point.
It will usually affect about 100,000 people.
Anyone within the region at the trigger will be affected.
Leaving the region will not stop it.
Entering after the trigger will not start it.
Any post-adolescent human will be affected if they are within the area when triggered, unless they are pregnant.
All injuries and disabilities (including lost limbs or other infirmities) are healed; as long as you are not brain dead, you will heal up.
Age is generally reset to late 20's/early 30's equivalent for their new bodies.
