Up until just over 100 years ago, Staticats were a rare sort of beast. They ran over seas and land, chasing storm fronts in order to feed. Low Valence Staticats were often left behind and starved and life was very hard for them. Clans were tight knit families who travelled together, fought together and died together.
Then a human named Thomas Edison switched on the very first large scale electrical circuit in 1890. This took place in Manhattan, and Staticats know this time as "The Great Settling" - Staticats from all over the world came to the tiny island to feed on this new source of food. The island became overcrowded, and as the humans moved outwards with their power-grid so too did the Staticats. Many clans fought and died to protect their families and hold on to permanent land. Thousands of cats died in the first few years as the humans expanded across New York State and into Southern Ontario and further.
Once enough cities had electricity, the clans separated to eke out their own land, many still holding old grudges. Now, once again, the clans are getting so large that they are clashing at the edges of cities once separated by miles of farmland.
The Staticats of this shop live in the city of Steeltown - parts of which are as old as electrical circuits, and parts of which are very new. The new and the old do not see eye to eye - and due to expansion, where there were once 7 set clans, each with well-defined lands, there are now 7 muddled clans living in and amongst each other, and only a tenuous peace treaty written many years ago keep the clans from battling until they are all dead. Do you stand for peace or war? Do you live for love or justice? It is up to you to decide!
