At some point in the history of your people were able to be born with a gene that would give them the appearances and powers of animals they shared traits with these people were called shiftbloods and were mostly hated by humanity while some would become vigilantes or try to help society it others tried to take revenge and conquer humanity however in the end it didn't matter the shiftblood society as a whole decided excommunicate themselves from humanity by using occultism to travel to a sub realm on the other side of a portal on an unknown mountain somewhere on earth where they could live in peace from humans this was called the migration event
Enter a man named Wesley walker the son of a man who apparently in love with a shiftblood. Wesley has been obsessed with shiftbloods all his life wanted study them and eventually going as far as wanting to be one or a superior of them however due a memory and teleportation spell the shiftblood council has made the world view them mostly as cryptids and some doubt they even existed not only that but every realm born with the shiftblood gene after the migration event are teleported to the sub realm and their memory is wiped from everyone except those who were close with a shiftblood before the migration event.
Not to be deterred Wesley began harvesting dna samples left behind by the disappearing shiftbloods in an attempt to create a synthetic shift gene that could be put in humans to make them shift bloods.
Through some digging Wesley found out the original shiftblood gene was created through skinwalker sorcery and occultism so through usage of the dna what little skinwalker magic he could learn and a little bit of elemental and hex magic to fill in the gaps he was able to create something resembling the shift gene that being the extra gene however its host's animal features were weaker than shiftblood and less noticeable they there but not as much and they also developed things that weren't in a shiftbloods powerset
Undeterred wesley put the gene in himself before selling to some rich ceos and had them put a special serum version of it in the water supply.
