Spliced Monster Girls (public)

In the year 2047 a scientist had chanced upon the key to spicing genetics. It quickly became a worldwide sensation, and although a very small amount of the population took part initially by the year 2053 around 7% of the earth had taken part in some form of obvious manipulation. Non-visual changes were far higher but not everyone is forthcoming due to mild stigma.

The most impressive part about the splicing was the ease. It didn't cost a lot to get a modification, allowing people to get multiple alterations without being too costly. The actual splicing takes about a week depending on what the splice will be, cat ears is a few days, a centaur body could be up to two weeks, with undoing the alterations can take a similar amount of time and money.

Common obvious animal splicing includes tails from many different creatures, eye modifications, scales/fur in different levels of intensity. Cat/dog ears, lizard spikes, feathers, wings (non-functional, additional limbs), horse body (the human genitals rearrange to match the altered body, in other words get a horse body your dick will be between your back legs), insectoid eyes, angler fish lamp, etc. Tongues are technically obvious but aren't commonly seen as such.

Some alterations aren't essentially based on animal genes. Things like additional arms, additional genitals, additional genital sensitivity, hair growth modifications, metabolism changes, etc. For the most part people get animal-based splices to "go all out".

Common non-obvious slices are ones that aren't easy to see in public, or maybe completely internal. Genital changes (swapping from a penis to vagina, being able to retract your penis/balls) and additions (rather they are same or different genitals doesn't matter, although making them "fully reproductive" is an additional splice many people don't get") are considered non-obvious. Lesbians tend to get spliced with the new mexico whiptail, in order to reproduce without any insemination. A number of women even have spliced themselves in order to lay an egg instead of having a period or having birth (although the alteration requires the partner to have a specific splice in order to fertilize the egg, then the egg needs special attention making it more common for women who want children to unsplice egg laying.)

TERMINOLOGY

Spliced: can refer to someone who has been altered.

Splicer: refers a doctor whose profession is to splice people.

Chimera: Someone who has obviously altered themselves with multiple different species.

De-alt: "de-altered" a person who has unspliced themselves.

Over spliced: When a person has so many alterations, they don't resemble a human in any obvious way anymore.

Demon: a person who has altered their form to resemble a demon.

Angel: a person who has altered their form to resemble an angel.

Insect: a person who has altered their form with insect genes. (Commonly confused with Arachnid)

Arachnid: a person who has altered their form with arachnid genes (commonly mistaken for an insectoid).

Centaur: most commonly used to describe someone who has altered their form to have the lower body of a horse but is used to describe people any alteration that alters the lower body in a similar fashion. (Drider is rarely used by the majority of people to describe a spider-based centaur.)

Harpy: A person who has altered their body with many bird genes (although wings are still non-functional).

Mermaid/Siren: Two terms that have been used interchangeably to describe a person who has altered their body with fish genes. (Gills are the single most expensive and dangerous splice, most people opt for blowholes, which can also be used sexually with minor adjustments). Sirens tend to more commonly refer to more aggressive looking alterations (shark teeth), while mermaids are for softer alterations (fish tail).

Mole: People you have altered their body with genes for digging (very uncommon).

Dragon: A person who has altered their body to resemble a dragon. (no, they can't breathe fire).
