Orro (he/him ♂)

caiman-hunter, old and scarred, war prisoner and war refugee. as a spy for a rebellion against his leadership, he used his illusions at great risk and convinced unstable the alliance leader she was torturing him for sport, plying her for vital information.

when his niece and nephew stumbled in at the wrong time, he realized he was compromised, and fled. enough of war. he hid, underground, until the ominous silence brought him above ground to the sight of ravaged deadlands.

Pangur, Shino, Allie, and Shibui are the characters I developed most and are most attached to, although I do love the rest of them :] currently all except Allie live in Arcadia, and Allie is off traveling a bit more. she comes back to visit, but she gets a sort of restless wanderlust.

Shino kind of gets it, but Pangur really gets it because she had a similar experience when she was younger. she got a sudden opportunity to go on an expedition/'quest' outside the borders around the time Shino was born, for almost his entire kithood into apprenticeship. she ended up taking it, but she regrets it a little, because it ended up feeding into some of her strained relationship with Shino...

Shibui (she/her ♀)

she fought the hardest battles of anyone, with the weakest heart. breakable from the moment she was born, she still lived, clawed her way through every struggle and found a way to thrive.

it's not all easy, and it never will be. but she's with the ones she loves, she has a happiness she thought she never could.

Aletheia (she/her ⚧)

she's always sought the truth, over kindness, over complacency, over easiness. she hasn't always been right, though. and she's much too much like her father, they've butted heads too many times.

it took a long time away and a lot of lessons for her to respect him now, though she's always been a daddy's girl for her other parent.

Shinonome (he/him ⚧)

a rough start to life, sickly child who nearly died. his heart would have given up on him, but he wouldn't give up on it. a miracle later, and he thrives— at least, best he can— with the love he's found.

Pangur is his parent, his bebi, and through the years and rough patches, he's grown the appreciate the kind of cat she is. kind, breakable, but still so strong. it only took having kits of his own to realize that.

Pangur-Ban (he/she ⚧)

all she ever wanted was a family. a unit, to love and be loved, close connection with others like her. she had so much love to give! over and over, she lost, and lost, and lost…

arcadia found her more than she found it. a home, and maybe somewhere to start over— never wholly alone.

starting this off with a queue of my art, so hang tight!

There is a story buried in the past, once spoken as a warning to kits, that tells the ego of a single cat who thought he could surpass the Spirits. In times long gone, when champions were hand-picked from cats living day to day, a hero rose and saw himself become the villain.  His name and his tale are lost to time, but his legacy remains. The elders say he is the reason the Spirits no longer speak to us in dreams.
