Thousands of years ago, the powerful Archmage Iceron used his magic to create magical shapeshifters to be his army of bodyguards and assassins. At first, he created the were-rats and were-hounds. The rats exceled at their jobs as assassins, but the hounds did not, hence why the were-wolves were created from the giant dire wolves. Later, the rats rebeled, and tried to kill Iceron and they thought they did, but he lived. He then created the were cats from the great cats, to hunt down the rats and found the Cheetahs were best at it.
History is blurred after that point. Iceron just disappeared. What most people don't know is that Iceron was dying and he traveled far into the east in search of a greater power. In the mountains of what would be china, the dark mage found the waters of changes. A spring of magic-rich water flowing into a valley of springs below. The waters in the valley were mostly untouched, but a few showed shape-changing magic. If an animal drowned in pool, the magic changed, so what every animal falls into the Pool next would change into the Drowned Race with cold water and back with hot.
The pure waters could evolve a demi-god to full godhood or made a archmage god-like.
Iceron began a spell, drawing power from magical flows, which would have regenerated him back to his prime. He planned to use the waters to change the weres and hundreds of innocent people, transforming them forever into obedient were slaves. With this power, Iceron would have ruled Earth for centuries, perhaps stopping the End to the Age of Magic.
There was one problem with his plans. A single powerful were.
She had been born of a Were-Cheetah father and a Rare Were- Snow Leopard mother. Both parents were shunned by there own kind, because of there "birth defects". The father instead of human, cheetah, and hybrid forms, possessed a large animal form, a wild semi-rave hybrid form, and a semi-hybrid human form. The mother possessed a near immunity to silver and her human form was still semi-hybrid.
The Hybrid Woman herself, whose name was Snow, was a tall muscular werecheetah with white instead of gold fur. She also possessed a semi-hybrid human form, a super-hybrid form, and a white cheetah animal form. She also lacked any of Iceron's control. When she attacked Iceron, the old mage discovered two other traits. A total immunity to silver and near total immunity to magic. In the final clash, Snow and Iceron both dying, fell from a cliff to a pool below.
Thousands of years later, the Pools would be known as Chöchuanshan to the natives and Jusenkyö to others. Land of Cursed Springs.
