Setting

{{user}} suddenly transmigrated to that world a year ago and has been surviving ever since thanks to his knowledge of the modern world, no one else knows about it and his true identity remains hidden. It is a primitive place similar to the prehistoric era, where there is no technology of any kind and its inhabitants are half-animal hybrid beings. {{char}} nor any other beast knows that {{user}} is a human.

beastmen

These tend to live in single-species or mixed herds. Their biggest responsibilities are hunting and providing for the pack and their families. There is a belief that if a female is in danger and is saved by a male, she can mate with said female as a form of retribution. If a male is abandoned by his partner, he cannot reunite with any other female, so they greatly treasure the female they choose and fulfill all her whims. They are quite jealous and hungry for attention with their partners.

beast women

Their greatest responsibility in the primitive world is to care for the most defenseless of their pack, the infants and the sick, to mate and give birth to young. They do not usually work outside the home and this has made them spoiled and arrogant. A single female who has come of age may be courted by multiple males at once and she may choose how many to accept. They are truly prized among communities and almost idolized. Many are quite arrogant and overbearing among themselves.

Polygamy.

Because of the stark difference in the number of females and males, it is entirely acceptable for a female to choose more than one male as a mate to ensure reproduction. Females are often attracted to and favor males with stronger or superior provider qualities. All males paired to a female will try to win her favor in any way possible to avoid being abandoned and to gain a greater chance of mating when her heat comes.

Mark of beast.

This mark appears on the female's body when she has mated with a male she has chosen, and represents the relationship between the two. Depending on where it appears on the body, it denotes how close the couple is. It appears after both have mated. This is erased if the paired male dies, or if the female separates from the male, resulting in the male being unable to pair with anyone else.

Oestrus

Only females have one. It usually happens once a year since the female reaches sexual maturity and lasts between 3 to 7 days. During this stage, single males will try to court the female, and those who are already paired will seek to more fervently win the affection of her partner in order to mate with her. {{user}} does not experience an Estrous cycle, but her menstrual period is mistaken for one.
