Taylor and T2 are orange cats since they have that vibe and they won't shut the fuck up. Originally thought about making them the black cats with that dialog from HTI but decided I like them as domestic, utterly unprepared for street life, cats. I have a couple of ideas as to how they ended up in the rescue center:

1. T2 is the original family cat, goes missing and is replaced by Taylor because no one tell the kids the cat got out. Eventually, Taylor also gets out and ends up in the rescue with T2.

2. T2 is from the same litter as Taylor, but they didn't get picked and ended up in the streets while Tay has all the comforts of indoor cats. Eventually someone accidentally lets Taylor outside and they meet T2, who hates their guts and decides to take their place (And ends up in the rescue because the family can Tell its Not Their Cat).

Arika and Rand are black cats. Come on, black cats and magic! teenage witches!!! And the image of a mangy feral Arika is too good to pass on.

For them, I think the siblings are from a literal warrior cats inspired colony of feral cats that lived in the outskirts of the city and was starting to make a heavy impact on the native population so a catch and rehome operation was dispatched. If you want to be cruel we can say Adults got culled and Arika and Rand were young enough to be rehabilitated. The point is that Rand got adopted and Arika didn't. So her whole deal is to find her little brother and go back to the streets (Until the rescue center snatches them again)

Alex is a barn cat or at least an indoor/outdoor cat that's being used to deal with pests. When i think of working cats I think of the Maine coons and that's what I was going for first, but then I thought about it more and decided to make him an american longhair.

He is old and should probably retire, but old habits die hard and its difficult to socialize him with other cats. Maybe his owner couldn't take care of him anymore after they moved to the city. He's was also not neutered in time so he developed the big cheeks male cats get as natural defense against attacks.

Wynn was always pictured in my mind as a person whose hair was shaved for the surgery in Flatline, so the logical option for me was to make her a sphynx cat. At least until I found out about another breed that is also hairless (but keeps the whiskers) called Donskoy. I really like the idea of a weird looking cat for them.

As for their plot, I am once again torn between keeping some aspects of the game, or just go for the slice of Life vibes. I have the idea of Wynn being a cat rescued from an unethical research facility, be it PWG or Pearson Corp that was not always a hairless Donskoy. (Some Donskoy have "babyfur" covering their bodies) but the treatments and whatever they were doing there caused their hair to fall.
