==Basics==
*The number of furries doubles each year.  The story is actually at Year 21, when there are just over one million furries.  The next year will add a million, and so forth.
*The first furry in 1987 was a vixen, with a tod the next year.  Some stereotypes do have a basis in "reality". :)
**The entire world will be furry in 2020.
*Species are generally native to a particular continent.  So most people in North America will end up whitetail deer, elk, bears, foxes, wolves, etc.  Recent immigrants will more likely end up native species to wherever they came from.
*No birds unless the laws of physics get bent a bit so they can actually fly...  Which still may happen.
*With every iteration, it's possible that an already-changed person could experience (with increasing rarity, all less than one percent):
**A species change. ("What the..?  I'm a ''wolf'' now?  What am I supposed to do with all these hoof picks?")
**A gender change. ("Well, I guess the fawns have two moms.")
**A combination of both. ("Don't ''even'' call me a bitch!")
*Furries can still interbreed with one another as if they were all still human.  Children get a 50/50 chance of which of the parents' species they follow.
*Conversely, humans '''cannot''' interbreed with humans, probably due to the RDF.
 
==The Reality Distortion Field==
*Humans can't see furries for what they are.  They still see whatever the person looked like before, even if that person was the opposite gender.
*Some things aren't filtered correctly.  Consequently...
**If a TGed man gets pregnant, the filter will change that person's image to female.  But she will still appear human.
**Things like hoof/paw prints, shed fur, shed antlers, clawmarks, animal odors, etc., are not filtered.  So if a cougar morph gets in a fight with a normal human and lashes out with his claws, he could cause a hell of a lot of damage.
**Consequently, some humans think that there is something up.  And some have figured out that the friends who claim to be furry actually ''are'' what they claim to be.
*It's possible to break the RDF, but I haven't figured out under what circumstances yet.
