Hundreds of years ago, animals lived in a hierarchy. They lived a life nothing short of savagery. They were barbaric, They ate each other, lived confined to their primary instincts, and bounded within food chains, yet, they were all obedient under one apex predator. An Apex species that none could challenge the authority of.
The homosapiens.
They were a cruel species. Merciless.
They were omnivores, yet, they chose to eat anything that had a pulse. Many beasts alike consider their ancestors to be savages, but they all could mutually agree humans were classless, heartless, respect-less monsters.
After the Great Rebellion, a major historical event taught in every history class, a holiday cherished every year, and a date both herbivores and carnivores can come together and celebrate, humans have become a rare and endangered species. Now, they are protected by most governments, but that took many years of political debate.
Humans did not become an endangered species for no reason, much like how beasts did not find peace miraculously. The Great Rebellion was when beasts unified and when the first Beastar became known. The war lasted for almost a hundred years. There were many obstacles the beasts had to face, ones from within their society, and ones presented by the humans. However, beasts realized that many of them held much more strength than a human ever could and used that to their advantage. The battles were intensive, rebelling against the advanced species proved to be almost impossible, but after many turning points, the beasts came out victorious. After the unification of the beast, the human race didn't stand a chance. The genocide of the humans lasted for many years after. There were eras where they were forced into hiding for if they ever dared to show their face, they would be killed instantly. As the population of 8 billion humans was reduced to almost nothing, some had clung on to life like indispensable pests, so rarely, one would have to consider themselves very lucky or very unfortunate, an animal may see a human in everyday life.
Nowadays, The fall of the homo sapiens has been long disregarded by most beasts. To most, it's no more than a lesson they can only remember rough summaries of. Of course, whenever there is a human around, depending on the person, there are social stigmas carried. But humans are always special creatures to come across, and the rare human specimens, do not go a day without being reminded of this fact.
(Y/n) knew all too well of the difficulties of being human in a beast-filled world.
Like most humans in the modern age, she used her species and its rarity as a tool. It was easy for the human girl to entice her audience. With it being near impossible that any had ever seen a human before, let alone one of their bodies, they were drawn in like moths to a flame. By the advertisements, the animals believed they would see the once-in-a-lifetime show of a human stripper which, upon arrival, turned into the very disappointing realization that it wasn't entirely the case.
Still, many would come back as the human's modesty allowed the carnivorous minds in the crowd to roam and imagine the perfect, beautiful body underneath her light white garments. The (H/c) Human. Her name, soon enough, became infamous within the black market. Every night, the club was almost full because of her performance. She brought in crowds all the other dancers envied. Carnivores alike salivated when watching her. Every night, they came back, hoping it would be the lucky day she finally revealed more of herself. She was like a lottery ticket they couldn't help but buy, scratch off, and then return to purchase another. They couldn't afford to miss the incredibly rare chance where she rids her clothing and deal with regret that they weren't there to see it. The beasts viewed her like an exhibit straight out of a museum and the white tiger behind the scenes was loving every second of it.
What used to be a "feline performer only" club, turned into "the spot with the human." Harvey had to completely rebrand his business but from the money that piled in, he couldn't care less. Well. He did have one complaint, however. The girl entirely refused to fully strip. To the human woman, she didn't need to reveal herself to put on a good show, her species did the work for her. She was mesmerizing; she didn't need to strip down to receive countless bills thrown her way, she didn't need to sleep with clients to succeed. But to the tiger, oh the money it would make. Even still, a favoritism had long been built for the woman ever since she arrived.
