Can you tell me about voidcats? Pretty please???
Hey!! Good to see you! I saw you on @twilightartist :)
Get ready for a long explanation LMAO
So! I made various OCs called Voidcats. They are entities from the Void Sea and they enter the mortal plane for Purposes. There are different Purposes depending on the time, such as the Mass Ascension of the Ancients, and in this current life, the Voidcats are tasked with killing the Rot. Five Pebbles has a bad case of the Rot, and in our AUs, we have made the Void Sea a sapient deity. As a result, it doesn't want the Rot to spread beyond containment. If the Rot goes past Pebbles' structure, it could be detrimental.
There's another character, named Nothing Sacred, an Iterator who tried to use the Rot to become stronger and to live with it in harmony, but he was not successful. The Void Sea needs the Voidcats to clear up his mistake, too.
There are five normal Voidcats, each with a space-themed name. There's Galactic, a Voidcat who is the largest among the group and is incredibly battle-scarred, fluffy, and gruff. They go by they/them pronouns, and they're a Voidcat of a few words. They don't like talking very much unless they trust the people around them.
Then there's Astral and Nova. They are brother and sister respectively (he/him and she/her pronouns, both trans). Astral is the medic of the group, using the power of the Void Sea to heal wounds (with limitations, as to not be overpowered). Nova is the quick one-- think Rivulet, but even faster. She is swift and can cover long distances rather effortless.
Then there's Nebula (they/it). They're the leader of the group. They are one of two Voidcats especially connected to the Void Sea and its powers, hence why they're the leader. Each Voidcat is connected to the Void Sea, of course, but Nebula is the one who can hone their skills the best.
Lastly, there's Stardust (he/they). He's the youngest of the group and the most child-like among them in personality. He's technically an adult, but he might as well be a pup compared to the other Voidcats (he was created last). He believes everyone deserves a second chance, if they choose to work for it. He is also very connected to the Void Sea.
The Voidcats are some of my most developed OCs. There's a lot of info regarding them!
Their original Purpose in this life as Slugcats, as previously explained, was to get rid of the Rot. They've been other creatures depending on the given Purpose, like Ancients during the Mass Ascension. In this current form, they take on a Slugcat appearance because it's the easiest form to use to get into Iterator structures, as shown by all of the campaigns in-game.
The group was going to help Pebbles with his Rot, but things took a devastating turn. There's a character named Angel, created by Sliver of Straw, who was meant to be the Triple Affirmative-- someone who would be able to Ascend living beings, sending them to the Void Sea. Unfortunately, all Angel does is glorified murder, and the Void Sea does not approve of Angel messing with fate. As a result, the Voidcats have a new Purpose: stop Angel and Sliver of Straw.
More context: Sliver of Straw was turned into a Slugcat for this AU, which is what happens with all of the Iterators when they're returned to the Cycle.
No Significant Harassment created Radiance, an artificial Voidcat. Radiance is an attempt to counter the oncoming threats, and the Voidcats have very... complicated feelings.
Nebula, Nova, and Galactic are wary about this development. Creating an artificial Voidcat comes with risks, ones they didn't think Sig would, well, risk. Similarly, they didn't know this was possible. The Void Sea and Jerry (the Void Worm) are very intrigued by this development. Sig is like their favorite little guy LMAO
Stardust is excited about this creation. He thinks everyone deserves a chance to live and to be loved.
Then there's Astral. He's the medic, focusing on what is natural. He is horrified by the creation. He believes Radiance should never have been created, that it's too risky, that there's a possibility that Radiance will suffer because a lot of Void Fluid was used in her creation. He wants Sig to destroy Radiance, which he obviously denies.
Sorry I went on a ramble LMAOOO
I only have refs for Galactic and Nebula at this time, made by Twilightartist/Twilightscug! I'll put it here for your viewing pleasure. Nebula's ref is going to be redone, this was just a quick ref :)
If you have any more questions, feel free to lay them on me! There's a lot of info and I don't know where to start, haha!
