This is one-hundred percent my own idea, and is actually sort of a reboot of an old RP I did a long time ago, though there is a lot that I changed. Any photos found here are not mine, but all the writing is.

"I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I'm still, I'm still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip
Yeah I slip, I'm still an animal"
That is how it started, your deep love for all things wild. Then it grew inside you as you grew. Your restlessness grew stronger, and strange things started to happen around you. Accidents all of them, but some rather dangerous, possibly even fatal. You tried to suppress these strange powers, terrified of what it would mean. The world does not look kindly on the Others so you tried to fight it as hard as you could, but this only seemed to make things worse.
Then the Metamorphosis happened and there was no going back. Your Familiar sought you out. After years of feeling a strange emptiness inside that nothing seemed to fill, the two of you met and, finally became whole. You looked into the eyes of your Familiar, and knew, without a doubt, what you were.
You were Other.

Once they reach this age, their powers begin to form and manifest themselves randomly, often with dangerous consequences. This lasts for several years, until about age thirteen. This is when the final stage occurs, the Metamorphosis. The Other's Familiar will seek them out. Upon meeting, the animal and human bond instantly and become one complete being in two separate bodies. From then on the Other and it's Familiar are inseparable, as they are two halves of a whole.
Society is terrified of the Others. They are treated as mutants, or an alien race, seen as invaders of the peace. Their powers are both feared and coveted by the humans who cannot seem to understand them, and as such, Others become pariahs. There are very few laws protecting Others, making them victims of violence and injustice often. They have almost no rights. The humans fear them and wish to control them. As such, from 1945-1951, the Cleansing occurred. This was a worldwide slaughter of Others by humans in an attempt to wipe out the race for good.
The Cleansing greatly reduced the number of Others in the world, driving them to the brink of extinction, but it did not successfully obliterate the race. So instead of destroying them, the humans tried, instead, to control them. The law prevents Others from working or going to school, as well as impersonating a human in order to do these things, so Others have no way to provide for themselves in the material world. As such, many are driven away from humans and civilization into the wilderness from which they are born.
The more desperate to adapt, however, are given another option. They can sign the Contract. The Contract is a document issued by the government. Any Other who signs the Contract becomes government property. This means that the government can utilize them however they see fit, whether it be experiments in a lab, or military service. In exchange for signing, the Other is given a weekly government paycheck and is then allowed to purchase property. This allows the government to control the powers of the Others. Those that go into the military or special forces are turned into deadly weapons through a series of vigorous mental and physical training. Those who become science experiments are treated as rats in a lab with little regard for the Other's well being.
Whether choosing to abandon civilization for the wilderness, or to attempt a human life working for the government, an Other does not have an easy life. They are treated like a disease among humans, and are generally not trusted by their own kind. Most of the Others take this cruelty because they do not see another option. However, there are some who do not stand for the abuse. Any rebellion is usually swiftly crushed, but the Others grow restless. Lately there has been talk of attacks on government labs, facilities, and prisons where Others are brutalized. A Revolution seems to be stirring. The Others might have just had enough.

Following the road will eventually bring you to a railroad, which will take you to a tunnel that goes underground. For Others who do not travel via flying or teleportation, this is how the Revolution gets about as the tunnels connect to city tunnels. They can get nearly anywhere using this system, and there are various checkpoints throughout the tunnels where small camps filled with rations and supplies have been set up for travelers to use. It's about a three-day trip to the nearest city using the tunnels.
The Revolution's goal is to help Others that are being abused by humans. The hotel is called the Sanctuary, as it started out as a simply a safe haven for all Others looking to escape the humans, but not wishing to live alone. As the place filled up, it's members began to talk about the idea of acting against the humans who forced them there and the Revolution was born. They work to free Others wrongfully imprisoned in special government prisons, destroy government labs conducting cruel experiments on Others, and bring down Other training facilities where Others are turned into government weapons.
The operation is well organized, though, despite magical abilities, the Revolution remains the underdog. Their resources are limited and the government has technology at their fingertips that can help them against the Others supernatural abilities. However, this Revolution is still a huge threat as it is very secretive and elusive, nearly impossible for the government to find and destroy. They certainly try though. In an attempt to crush the rebellion, the humans pit Others against Others by sending out Other "hunters" to find and destroy the rebellion. These hunters are the monsters the government creates in it's awful training facilities after the Contract is signed. They are Others that were turned into special agents and military weapons and serve the humans loyally. As such, the Revolution is very apprehensive of newcomers in a way it never was before, but they have to be in order to fight another day.
