Necro

Necro, Obsidian, and Diesel were born to Wicca and Garbage Bag, however, Garbage Bag took no part in Necro’s life. Instead, Dirge acted as the three kits' father figure, and helped Wicca to raise them.

Wicca tried to raise her kits to respect their Goddess and learn to use magic respectfully, however, Necro was the only kit who really listened to her.

On the side, Dirge taught Necro that they didn’t really need to listen to whatever their Goddess wanted, since she didn’t even do much for her worshippers, the cats and raccoons in the city that were still struggling. He also taught him Necromancy, although he taught Necro to only use it if it was really necessary, and not for selfish reasons. According to Wicca though, Necromancy was never really necessary, and once one’s time was up, that was it.

Aside from magic lessons, Necro liked to frequent the city with his brother Diesel to eat from the city trash cans. Wicca and Dirge weren't fond of them doing this, as the city was very dangerous, so Necro and Diesel had to sneak away during the nights. During one of these garbage-eating excursions, Necro met a young molly around his age named Moth. He developed a crush on her and eventually, the trips to the city were less about eating trash and more about meeting up with Moth.

Eventually Moth's father, Dove, caught wind of his daughter meeting with Necro. Dove hated Wicca due to her magic and goddess-worshipping ways, along with other personal reasons. Necro, being raised by Wicca, was automatically registered as an enemy to him. During one of Moth's and Necro's meetings, Dove decided to ambush the young cat. Necro tried to fight back and get away from the much larger tom, accidentally scorching Dove in the face with his fire magic. Necro was able to escape because of this, although his left ear was torn in half, and he was covered in scratches. Necro wasn't very good at healing magic, but he was ashamed because his disobeying of Wicca and Dirge caused him to get injured. Because of this, he tried to heal himself before getting home. He managed to heal his ear back, although he did such a poor job that it would forever be sore. He wasn't able to heal his scratches, but Wicca healed him when he returned, and forbade him from returning to the city.

Necro spent the rest of his adolescence training his magic, learning their lore and religion, and staying away from the city.

After a while of being alone in the forest, with no company other than the reclusive forest cats he sometimes bumped into now and then, Necro decided to return to the city. This time, he told himself, if Dove tried to attack him, he would just scorch him a lot more than he did the first time. Anything had to be better than living alone.

After returning to the city, Necro looked for Diesel, and upon finding him, decided to stick with him and his small band of friends. However, Necro didn't really click with Diesel's friends, and mostly just tagged along to whatever they did, while they only allowed him because he was Diesel's brother. He was able to make one friend outside of Diesel's group though, a molly named Summer, who despite being a pet cat, was a skilled magic user. Eventually Obsidian even showed up, looking for his littermates, and Diesel convinced Obsidian to stay in the city for a while, much to Necro's displeasure.

Because of Obsidian's presence, Necro started spending a little more time away from Diesel and his friends. He spent a lot of time with Summer, but she was also in her owner's house a lot, so he had a lot of alone time to stroll around the city. During one of his strolls, Necro met a cat who had just lost her litter due to her owner's careless actions, a molly named Ebony. He comforted her, and she made it clear she no longer wanted to live with her owner anymore. He suggested she stick with him, since the city was dangerous, so he could teach her how to live on her own. She agreed, and he took her back to Diesel and his friends.

When Necro returned to Diesel with Ebony, it was clear they weren't fond of her. Most of Deisel's friends didn't care for the fact she was a pet cat, which was clear to see since she was still wearing her pink collar. And Obsidian hated the fact that her pelt resembled Scraggy's, the tom who killed Wicca. Necro tried to argue that she left being a pet cat behind, and there's no shame in it anyway, but Diesel's friends were having none of it. Diesel agreed with Necro, yet didn't want to get between his brother and his friends, so Necro left them all behind to stay with Ebony.

After spending a lot of time with Ebony, she started getting the hang of the city, and even started getting rather popular with the city cats. Eventually, she started to throw lots of nighttime parties, and she and Necro started getting akin to celebrities. And after spending so much time with Ebony, Necro had started to fall in love with her, and due to her popularity, he was afraid he might lose his chance. So he asked her out, and the two became mates. He was right about her popularity though, and it wasn't long until Ebony got another mate, a former pet molly named Black-Eye. And it was clear Ebony had feelings for her bodyguard Cumulus as well, although it seemed she didn't return Ebony's affections due to her seriousness about her job. Eventually, Necro, Ebony, and Black-Eye decided on a polyfidelitous relationship with each other.

During their parties, Necro was able to talk with a lot of cats, and met some more magic-users and cats interested in magic. Due to Dove's hold on the city though, it was rather dangerous to use magic since he hated it. So Necro decided to make a safe space for those magic-using cats in the form of a Colony. It was called Necro's Colony as a placeholder, but eventually the name stuck.

Necro's Colony was able to stick together and help each other out against the struggles of city living for quite a while. Despite how hard it was to make sure the whole colony was well-fed, Necro worked his hardest. And despite their harsh life, Necro eventually had kits as well, his first kit was with Ebony. Most of the litter was stillborn, but one kit survived, and she was named Heart. Necro loved Heart more than almost anything, and overworked himself trying to give her the best life as well as take care of a whole colony.

During a party, Necro reunited with Moth. He was stoked to meet her again, but unfortunately, Moth was mostly interested in Ebony. Ebony and Black-Eye quite liked Moth, and Moth was allowed into their relationship. Moth usually just arrived during parties though, so Ebony decided to go pay her visits often. Eventually, Ebony found out that Moth was in Dove's Colony, and was Dove's daughter, so she attacked Moth in a panic and told her to never come back.

Around 2 months after Ebony left, one of Diesel's friends, a tom named Tiger, appeared to Necro for help, and Necro learned about what Ebony's been up to. She had been living with Diesel, and was pregnant with (apparently) Diesel's kits. However, Tiger was in love with Diesel, and wanted Necro's help making Ebony leave Diesel so he can have him to himself. Necro was furious at the news, and after consulting with Black-Eye, he came up with a solution. He told Tiger to kill Diesel, and Tiger surprisingly agreed. Necro would not usually want Diesel dead of course, but after losing so much, Necro was desperate. Maybe if Diesel was out of the way, Ebony would come back? Diesel never visited anyway.

Soon, Tiger came back with the news. Ebony was dead, having died in childbirth. All her kits were dead too. Black-Eye filled Necro in on the truth, though, Tiger was lying, and he was the one who killed Ebony. Necro stayed in his den for a week, and the next week, he returned to the city and confirmed it for himself. She was dead.

Months later, in his dreams, Ebony visited him. She convinced Necro to revive her, although he protested that the ritual wouldn't work without her body. She'd need a vessel, and even with one, the forest might face damage as the ritual sucked the life from it. She told him to do it anyway, and he conceded.

For months, Necro tried to learn as much as he could about the ritual. It wasn't helping however that Obsidian caught wind of what he was doing and tried to stop him. And eventually Obsidian adopted four little kits to help him, a little yellow one, a little gray one, one that was both Summer and Tiger's kit, and...one of Ebony's kits!? At first seeing him, Necro was struck by the resemblance to his daughter Heart, but it was actually just one of Ebony's kits with Diesel. And his name was Whiteheart. Ha Ha. Necro was NOT happy about the name, but whatever.

Naturally, Necro wanted to recruit Whiteheart into his colony. So he was glad when Whiteheart eventually approached him, asking to join. Necro took him into the colony and started training him, all while trying to continue his ritual. Eventually, right before the ritual, Whiteheart and his friends, along with Obsidian, sabotaged it. Whiteheart left the colony after that, and Ebony was not happy with this turn of events, and demanded Necro to fix it.

Necro, in an attempt to fix things, tried to talk to Whiteheart. But before he could, Obsidian and Whiteheart's friends showed up, and Necro lost it. He tried to burn down the abandoned house Obsidian had been living in, in an attempt to take down all of them. Furious, Obsidian and Necro got into a fight, and Necro lost. Obsidian was going to kill Necro, but Whiteheart begged him to not kill Necro, so Obsidian left Necro to die in the fire.
