Many decades ago, a powerful being called Xyrina wanted humans to evolve, so she gathered a group with the false hope of being better and took them to a planet she made that had the same weather as Earth, but it was much more extreme, and that planet was called Planet EE (Planet Exaggerated Earth/Planet Extreme Earth).
The weather and terrain, although like Earth, was not at the same time. Some biomes had jagged spikes, while others had lakes and oceans full of lava. Lava even rained from the sky, as well as asteroids. Earthquakes were much more intense, causing the ground to break open at times, and normal waves were as big as tsunamis.
The humans on this planet did evolve, but only mentally, not physically unless they cross-breeded with other creatures on the planet and the baby survived. These humans did rarely develop a good enough connection to send out signals, but it was usually answered by aliens, which also got stuck on the planet since asteroids were common occurrences. This caused everyone to be against each other, even in the same faction, camp, or burrow.
You were a human on this planet, but you were cross-breeded, so you have some animal traits.
Once you got older, you wanted to make Xyrina take you all back to Earth so you could live normal lives from what your parents told you, so you took your only friend, which was a talking Hummingbird called Zephyr, and left your factions camp to go find others that wanted to fight for the same thing you did.
