I have returned from the dead XD. And with that return follows my interest in continuing on with the TFVU universe idea. However, I will not continue with the characters from the first story as, well, I don't think I pulled off drama that well. So I'll be having a new story with a new protaganist with a focus on more light hearted and comedic tones....which menas he'll be investigating magic. However, to tide you over till then, I give you the rules and regulations that I have created for the TFVU Universe for anyone who is interested in writing stories set within it. All I ask in return is a link to the story and a citation as me as the creator of the universe. Now then, onwards:

Legal Rules of the TFVU Universe
1. Transformation magic and science are real and used to create products for consumers to use. However, their use is highly regulated, with the following being the main regulations concerning them:
-Mass-produced transformation causing products can not create a permanent transformation. This would be objects like foods, drinks, toys, clothes, costumes, accessories, etc. that would be on the shelves of a store or other locations.

-Permanent transformations can only be done through licensed professionals and with the full-fledged permission of the transformee.

-Transformation products must be clearly labeled and have a warning to warn consumers that the product will cause a transformation.

-Transformations that involve a permanent change in mental state and/or mind control are illegal. Temporary changes must, again, have proper warnings on the product.

-Businesses wishing to take advantage of transformation for business purposes must have a license to do so. Also, potential employees must be informed before being hired that their job will involve a temporary transformation during the work day. Note that certain business practices, such as turning employees into farm animals and such to produce farm goods are legal but highly looked down upon.

2. Consumers of permanent transformation services, as well as victims of transformation crimes have certain legal regulations surrounding them:
-All transformees who, upon transformation, retain their former intelligence and self-awareness have all rights and responsibilities they had before the transformation. They are, for all intents and purposes, still considered ‘human’ in the eye of the law.

-It is illegal to discriminate against a person who has been permanently transformed.

-Government, as well as private, organizations and programs exist to help ease the transition process. They are subsidised by the government in order to lower cost and allow access for everyone. They help transformees deal with issues such as instincts, adjusting to new physical structure, modify existing legal documents such as Social Security, Birth Certificates, Driver’s License, etc. as well as many other services.

-If there is a reversal process for a transformation, and one has become the victim of a transformation crime, then the government will pay for the reversal process. Those who voluntarily transformed must pay for it themselves.


Structure of the Transformation Regulation and Investigation Agency
The Transformation Regulation and Investigation Agency is the broadened government agency that deals with all transformation-related issues. They are responsible for enforcing current transformation law, government transformation research, and for suggesting new regulations of transformation. They also are the creators of the Transformation Survival Guide. If you are involved with transformation in any legal manner, you are most likely going to run into at least one department of the agency. The agency itself is divided into several departments

1.Transformation Research and Development Department (TFRD):This agency is responsible for researching and developing new transformation-based technology and magic for the agency. They tend to have the latest in transformation-causing as well as transformation-prevention tools. Most of their technology is available for all to use and develop even further to create new products for the masses, but many of their developments are reserved for us by the agency as well. The department is split further into the Magic Department and Science Department.

2.Transformation Investigation Magic Department (TFIM): A specialized department, they are responsible for the investigation of magical based transformation crimes. The agents here are usually trained for dealing with magical threats, and their badges are usually made of special materials and magic to prevent most basic level transformation spells that may be used. However, agents can still be subjected to transformation caused by scientific means as well as non-spell based transformations. Agents are trained to avoid these as well. Due to their dealing with magic, the agents of this department tend to be a bit quirkier then the Science Department as such people seem drawn to magic.

3.Transformation Investigation Science Department (TFIS): The sister department to the TFIM, this department deals with investigation of scientific based transformation crimes. Since they are most likely to face scientific transformations, they are usually given vaccines against the most common transformation serums as well as protective armor to reflect transformation guns and rays. However, if given enough serum or serum of less-known transformations, then they may suffer transformation. However, through the efforts of the R+D Department, such transformations are usually reversible.

4.The Transformation Victims Unit (TFVU): The TFVU is actually a general name given to the organizations of the agency that serve on the frontlines. They would be the local agents in a town or city that deal with the actual investigation of the crimes. In small towns they usually serve under both the TFIM and TFIS departments, but larger cities usually split them up into two separate units that answer to their respective units.

Well, there you have it. All the basics of the TFVU universe for anyone who wants to write a story in it. All I can say at this point is to have fun, enjoy yourself, and make sure you credit me. Oh, and send me a note if you write a story cause I'd love to read it.
