Delidy is just your average medium sized town. Or at least that’s what the locals think. They are always having problems with some of the local teens, and with gang tendencies. But that’s just how they group together, in packs. They aren’t normal teens as the normies would like to think. They are gifted, they can change their physical appearances. They are shape shifters, phasers. The gangs are usually the wolves, who come together. That’s what’s going on in the modern day.
You may be wondering what happened before the. Well this used to be a regular town just like any other. But that all changed one day. It started with a lonely old woman, she was like your modern day crazy cat lady, well she wasn't just any old woman, she decided Delildy was the place for her to settle, to make her creations, to make her shifters. She dabbled in witch craft, and other magical things. Honestly the first shape shifter of the town was by pure accident, she wanted to change them into wolves, she wanted the to stay together but stay with her, she thought they would feel that connection with their maker some of them did, but they changed, their bodies could decide to change and shift when they wanted to, the old woman was horrified, at what she had created and the lives she had forever changed. Some saw this as a blessing others saw it as a curse.
The young shifters didn’t know how to use this new power, the didn’t know how to use it at will, the slightest change of their emotions could set it off, and it was a show when they phased. So in public, the people of the town where forever changed. That was over 100 years ago. They have just faded to legend, the shifters learned to better control their outbursts. Over time all developed one skill. To be able to tell who had the ability and who did and who didn’t. But then there are the special few, who can tell when others are, but their true identity is hidden. This is a rare, and very uncommon trait.
Are you wondering what happened to the old woman, well she was said to have gone crazy. Sent to an insane asylum, but the truth is no one had ever seen her after her first few creations went wrong, left her, hated her. She had only made a few of them, not thinking the genes would go on past that, but in a freak occurrence the lines moved on, with their young, or babies, only one in five of the children would come out with the powers, but the men, bred a lot they didn’t want their children to be alone. But these weren’t the only shifters created, the ones that were created were wolves, but others came and here now the town is filled with them and growing in regular people and the shifters.
There are now four gangs, and the town is more then just wolves, they all seem to come together. One gang hating the next. Locals don't understand it. Each gang has a way to identify itself, once part of a gang its almost like a death sentence to switch, or be friends with a rival gang. However there are the few who choose not to join in on such activities. But gang members can be ruthless toward the wanderers.
