Five years ago an inventor had built a transformation machine. It harnessed the chaos in the universe to modify the human body. He had hoped to sell his invention to plastic surgeons but something went wrong when he tested it. Instead of confining the chaos to the transformation chamber it burst from it creating areas of chaos that pop up all over the world. These areas have become known as Chaos Storms.
There is always at least one storm on the planet at any time. When a storm pops up it shuts down all electrical devices for the as long as the storm lasts. Also the temperature in the area becomes nice and warm though curiously nothing that's frozen melts or thaws unless it's placed over or near a flame and this effect lasts for about 24 hours after the storm ends. The shortest observed duration of these storms is just seconds and the longest is a year. They have been seen to cover only a few feet up to an area half the size of the United States.
The storms only affect humans or what used to be humans since the storms can transform anyone into literally anything. The energy left by the storm around someone when they're transformed can be sensed by humans and what used to be humans though they don't know who it is unless they see them transform. Since the storms only affect humans or what used to be humans most people take off most of their clothes only leaving what is necessary to cover the genitals on.
Even though the storms may last awhile over a large area it may not transform anybody. There's pink lightning within these storms that is the actual agent of change when it hits somebody. Fortunately it doesn't seem to hurt anyone and people report that the transformations tingle.
Now another Chaos Storm is popping up. Who's going to be affected by it?
