Backstory

Bugbite was taken in as a young cat, to the point where no one even remembers that he was an outsider at al. He was raised by a group of cats who performed a series of stories told through combat, and he was named Moth. While he loved his family and was fascinated with their fighting, he found himself unable to do the same when it was his turn in the arena. Ambersplash would quickly lose interest, or work himself too hard and burn out quickly. Things were rough for him, until he was out on a walk one day and discovered a small group of travelling cats. These cats would roam the world, performing their unconventional skills and spend time together. Ambersplash was taken in by this, and would spend more and more time away from his family and with these cats. His family were happy for him to have found friends and something outside of stressing about work. Eventually, Ambersplash decided he wanted to travel with the cats, showing off his own style of telling stories through combat, tricks and occasionally just recitals. While worried about him, the family accepted, and Ambersplash makes sure to visit them regularly.

 Colloseum Cats

The cats of the Colloseum fight for a living, though it is never to the death. They plan stories that they try to tell through their combat, and will take care to not injure each other; or if they do, make sure they have a medic on standby. While this is an occupation that was passed down one family of cats, they have no problem accepting outsiders to join them, recruiting or teaching others, or their members choosing other paths. The way that the stories are told are rather flexible as well- some are told through how the cats fight, almost like a dance, while other stories are told around the triumphs and defeats of various characters in the arena. The cats have two names; one considered to be their true name, and the other a stage name. The latter is usually made up of two or three words, to ensure that each character being played has a unique and easy to remember name. Amberdrop is a stage name, with their real name being Moth.

 Travelling Cats

The travelling cats don't have a name for themselves, nor have they been around for a long time. The group consists of three cats; Mouse, Rabbit and Moth. Following the example of the Colloseum Cats, the three chose their stage names; Inkweaver, Songrush and Amberdrop respectively. All three cats are united by their interest in performance,art and wanting to have their own skill different from their respective groups. The trio will perform together as much as possible, and always enjoy spending time together, but they are comfortable and willing to travel separately a well to find the right audience. Thanks to Mouse's limited magical skill, the group has a quick way to communicate, and when one finds a good place to perform in, the others are not far behind.
