In a room
The sign reads
"Welcome all new travellers.
To continue you must go through a series of doors.
After going through you will pick a costume. You will then become a half- human and half that creature.
After a week(100 mins a hour,20 hrs a day,10 days a week) has passed you may morph and get another costume. To start of with you will only be able to become 40% human to 60% human.
If you put on a costume you will then become that creature, be teleported to it's home town and have to wait a week before being able to morph.
After 50 costumes you may change into one of your other costumes and become 30% to 70% human. When changing costumes you must wait at least an hour before you can change costumes again.
100 different species/gender costumes allows you to gender-morph and become 20% to 80% human
200 different species costumes allows you to combine costumes and become 10% to 90% human
400 different species costumes allows you to return to your world with no more morphing
And 800 different species costumes makes a polymorph and allows you to morph outside of this world.
Also if you have a costume like a centaur then the human part will always be human and is counted towards the human percentage.
Any gender/species transformation magic of yours can only change your gender(if you have at least 100 costumes) and the animal part to a different animal.
When you change into a different costume (that you already have) you may teleport to that species home town but you will have the week penalty where you have no costume changes.
If you die while wearing a costume you will be reborn at the local inn (or appropriate location ). If you have more then 100 costumes you will lose the costume you had when you died and go to an appropriate place for your next costume.
If you fail to make it out in 100 years(100 weeks in a year) one of your possible forms will be chosen and you will be permanently stuck in that form(apart from magic) until you die. Also there will be no possibility of going back to your world.
Also, one final note: should you take a female form and become pregnant, you won't be able to change your gender until the child is born, though the other aspects of your form may change (the child will change to match.) That is all, and good luck!
You realise that you have to do what the sign said to do and go through the doors and grab a costume.
Alternatively you could use the key system to determine the room

Hyena
You go through the door, not knowing what was awaiting you on the other side. Once you are fully inside, the door slams shut behind you with a loud slam, making you jump. You quickly turn around and look at the door to realise that it has no handle on this side. You turn back around to see what is in the room. There is not a lot of things inside the room, only an intercom, and a table that has five suits on them. You dismiss them as you continue to aimlessly wonder around the room. Eventually you find a door, but when you try to open it, a label above its frame lights up. It read:
Animals only.
You silently curse to yourself. You are a human being, how can you leave a door that won’t open for humans? As you ponder this thought, a pre-recorded message begins to play on the intercom.
“Congratulations!” The intercom plays before a fanfare. “You have been chosen to try out one of these five suits. These suits are very special.” The intercom cuts out again.
Not knowing what is going on, you speak out the thoughts you have in your mind. You are scared and have had a bit of relief that you have heard another voice that would not just be your own.
“Hello?! Is someone out there?” You exclaim hoping they can get you out. The intercom turns back on once again with the recording.
“These suits are very special as they are experimental. Choose one.” At the moment, it cut out again. You soon realise that it is a recording. You sigh as you go do what the recording said. You go over to the table and look at these suits. You notice that 4 of the suits were a torn up, or missing parts of them. This makes you shudder as your imagination runs wild. What could of happen with the other four suits? You inspect the one that was not damaged. You don’t touch it just yet, but inspect it. It looked big enough for you as it was brown, with stripes that resembled fur. You continue to look it over and notice that it is very detailed. It looks like a hyena, from what you can make out from it.
You began to strip, taking off all your clothing off your body. You look over to the suit, having some second doubts about this. You soon realise that you have no other option. It is either be stuck in the room, or try on the suit to see what happens. You pick up the suit, giving it one more look over before putting it on. At first the suit is too loose for you, but soon it is snug, as if the suit is like normal clothing hugging your skin. Once you fully have the suit on, something unexpected begins to happen. Your skin feels as if it was burning! You begin to itch your skin, until you nearly collapse as a sharp pain catches you off guard. It starts as a sharp pain in your abdomen begins to spread to the rest of your body. It feels as if something was trying to merge to your body.
You began to try to take the suit off with whatever strength you had left, but that soon fades as the pain is just too much for you to bear. You began to blackout. The suit is still merging to your body, molding your body to resemble a hyena’s. Your facial structure begins to change as it resembles less of a humans, and more of a hyena. Your body has changed as well. It begins to have fur all around, sporting the pattern of a striped hyena. Your hands remains relatively the same, while your feet became hyena like, sporting pads at the bottom of them. Pressure begins around your crotch as your genitals began to resemble a hyena’s. You lose your normal ears, but instead you get two fluffy somewhat cute ears. You remain blacked out for one hour before waking up with a groan. You feel no more pain and felt slightly chipper.
“What happened…?” You ask yourself before you look down. You notice the change immediately. You began to freak out not knowing what had happened. The last thing you remember is putting on the suit…
The suit. You immediately look at the table and notice the suit was gone. You chalk up the conclusion that the suit must have fused to your body. Soon afterward, you try to stand. You fail a few times as you try to get used to your new appendages. Once you manage to stand, you look over to your clothes. They do not look like they could fit the new you, pity. You wait to see if the intercom will play a new message, but after five minutes you give up, as you believe that no one had survived this before, thus no more recordings would be played.
You go towards to the door and try to open it. Unlike the last time, the door begins to move. You guess that the door must have recognised you as an animal instead of a human now. You pull the door open, as you see a bright light at the end of the corridor. You rather not stay in this room, as every instinct was telling you not to stick around. You sprint towards the bright light at the end of the corridor.

City
Once you have reached the end of the corridor, the bright light ends up leading to a field. You sigh and feel relieved that it was nothing crazy. There is a grassy plain all around you except for something in the distance looking like a city. Not turning back, you decide to head out to the city to see what you can learn. You have no idea how the locals would act. Still, you press on. You realise you are nude, so remaining unseen is your best option. Some time passes and you reach the city and manage to enter it though an alleyway. You look around and notice it looked a lot like home. Checking your surroundings, you find a box that is filled with thrown out clothes. You quickly go through them, looking to see what will fit your new body. Eventually you find some clothes that fit, making sure to use any left-over clothes, so you can hide your ears, tail and your face as much as you can.
Once that is settled, you venture into the city proper. It is filled with tall sky scrapers, a bustling city, and population. You take a look, noticing that there is a mix of humans, like you once were, and animals like yourself, that can walk upright, wear clothes and talk. Knowing this you remove what you used as a disguise as there is no point of you hiding anything from anyone. You begin to cautiously integrate with the locals, trying to know what is up. Though out the whole ordeal, you do not tell them about what happened to you and tried to act casual. Things are not looking so bad after all. You have a fresh start that you can use to your advantage.
You have no ID.
No family.
No (current) Responsibilities.
This is a good opportunity to start anew, and dam right you are going to take it.
