[ WP ] At age 18 everyone on earth gains the ability to morph into their spirit animal . Today is your 18th birthday and as your family watches you morph into an animal not of this earth

My name is William, and I am the first of my kind. 
 
 The expanded consciousness initiative began as a military technology a little more than 90 years ago and was kept secret from the public for good reason for the first 20 years after its creation. Basically it's an injection that the government gave to certain special operations members that unlocked in them the ability to project their consciousness into animals, but only ones fitting of their personality and character. Their spirit animal so to speak. It was a massive success with the military. Suddenly, reconnaissance and infiltration missions that would normally be impossible, could be achieved by birds and squirrels. Espionage became the most crucial military tactic of the era. 
 
 In the year 2037, everything changed when the technology was leaked to the public. For massive amounts of money, the wealthiest among humanity were able to explore the world through new sets of eyes, and unlock within them the ability to see life in a completely new light. Environmental issues were quickly tackled as humanity could now see firsthand what they were doing to the world. New senses and instincts were awoken in humans that allowed their creativity to flourish and the world began to change at an alarming rate. And so began an era of endless possibility. The governments of the world quickly became involved in the development and distribution of the serum, allowing only the brightest and most influential of the world to expand their consciousnesses. 
 
 So began the new era of man. People slowly grew in their power, gradually being able to project themselves into their spirit animals over further and further distances and staying within their alternate minds for longer and longer periods of time. The possibilities for the new age seemed endless. In the year 2082, the war broke out. There were those among society who wanted to eradicate the program. They believed that humans should focus instead on themselves instead of meddling with the world from outside their bodies. Opposing them were the people who saw from a new perspective the destruction that humanity had wreaked upon the earth and wished to expand the influence of the program to allow people to fully transfer themselves into their spirit animals, abandoning their natural bodies. It was a long and bloody war, with no clear victor. Shortly after, the world council was set up in an effort to regulate the program and bring peace to the recently ravaged world. They made it law for everyone to receive the serum on the day of their 18th birthday, at the expense of the government. But they could only do so much. Splinter cells of the old factions have remained until the present day which continuously carry out their agendas through violence and terrorism, slowly destabilizing the system that tried so hard to find common ground. Crime now runs rampant across the world as everyone consumed by their thirst for enlightenment battles one another just to progress ever so slightly. That's where I come in. 
 
 In the year 2113 on my 18th birthday, I was subjected to the effects of the serum. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced, like liquid fire tearing through my veins and searing away everything I ever though I knew about myself. I awoke in a body that was n't mine, flying high above a place I'd never been to. My beautiful white wings were locked outward as I glided above the clouds in a moment of pure bliss. That was when I noticed what the rest of my body looked like, that's when I realized what I had become. My body had become far more muscular than I had ever been, like that of a man that had never missed a workout in his life. The shocking part though is what I was wearing. I was clad in full plate armor, head to toe. It gleamed silver in the sun, yet radiated a light that was from beyond our world. A golden sword was strapped to my left hip, and a similar looking dagger at the small of my back. Yet I was not alarmed. In fact, it was the most comfortable I'd ever been. Slowly I drifted off and felt my energy retracting itself from its new home. 
 
 I awoke strapped into the chair I'd blacked out in, my mind racing with questions. What the hell had just happened? I was n't an animal like everyone else, I did n't even believe in angels, or God for that matter yest here I was in a body that was clearly just that. Some sort of angel, or something that was too similar for me to deny the possibility of them. Suddenly a camera was forced into my face by one of the technicians. She muttered something about needing to be on record claiming my species. A short while later a tall man in a lab coat pulled up a stool in front of me and took his seat. 
 
 `` State your name and species for the camera.'' The man said, in a manner that suggested he had done this far to many times to care any more. 
 
 `` My name is William.'' I responded, `` And I am the first of my kind.''
