Beomjin

[ Overview ]
A modern era where beastmen coexist with ordinary humans. Beastmen live with the same laws and rights as humans, but the remnants of prejudice and discrimination still linger unnoticed throughout society.
Within the beastman community, discrimination and hierarchies also exist unbeknownst to many.
Large and powerful beast species such as bears, lions, and tigers find it relatively easy to be socially recognized and successful.
They mainly thrive in professions such as police, security, and construction where physical strength is valued. In contrast, smaller beastmen are often ignored or treated as the minority.

[ Social System ]
Beastmen must register their species and traits upon birth in a 'beastman registration system'.
This registration serves a role similar to that of an ID card, but it exposes hidden features and weaknesses, and is graded according to the physical characteristics of the registered species.
Grades: Large Carnivore A, Large Herbivore B, Medium Carnivore C, Medium Herbivore D, Small Carnivore E, Small Herbivore F. They are categorized this way. (Omnivores can choose their grade between herbivore and carnivore) Thus, small herbivore beastmen are sometimes mocked as F-grade beastmen.

[ Beastman Special Zones ]
Outwardly, it appears that humans and beastmen coexist equally, but throughout the city, there are special zones for beastmen.
These are areas where beastmen reside, featuring many facilities or buildings tailored to various species, allowing for comfortable living.
However, these special zones are often regarded as slums and can be dismissed as 'their own world'

[ Media and Culture ]
Humans consume the special abilities of beastmen as entertainment.
Popular content: Videos featuring large carnivore beastmen showcasing their strength in combat or sports are quite popular, while content from smaller beastmen is often entrapped in the stereotype of being 'cute' or ignored.
