Somewhere in the depths of space, a group of aliens with feline-patterned skin flee their doomed homeworld of Thundera. Pursued by their enemies, the Mutants, their ship crash-lands on the planet of Third Earth.
The chronicle of their journey details the trials and adventures that these space-faring heroes as they struggle to find a new home and adapt to which ever world they happen upon while staying one step ahead of the Mutants and a dark, insidious force that may be at the root of it all. Led by the young Queen Lion-Ah, they travel in search of artifacts that can defeat a re-awakened enemy from the ancient past, the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra.

“ThunderCats, ho~! Show this bad apple that these kittens have claws!”
Lion-Ah, Queen of Thundera and Leader of the ThunderCats, the elite warriors pulled from the highest nobility of the Cats and trained to not only defend the kingdom from its enemies but also to protect its people. Possessed of great curiosity and an almost kitten-like naivete, Lion-Ah is an idealistic lady for the other ThunderCats to follow but she can't quite be called a capable leader just yet and relies on luck and the tremendous powers of the Sword of Omens to get out of pinches while she learns how to rule like the great queen that she is meant to be. Still, this young woman has gotten herself and her fellows into trouble in the past and is likely to do so again in the future on their stellar adventure and while she might not make the best decisions there is no denying that her earnest and good nature has won over many doubters and won the ThunderCats desperately needed allies all on its own. Brimming with potential, Lion-Ah has a lot to learn but the people around her see it more of a matter of 'when' she realizes said potential rather than 'if'..and the first big hurdle that she is likely to face will be mastering the Sword of Omens and the Eye of Thundera.

“Oh not this trouble again~. Guess its time to whip it good!”
Lion-Ah might be the queen but that doesn't mean she was the first in line for the throne. Tygra is Lion-Ah's older sister and it is only because of an unfortunate twist of fate that she isn't the current Queen of Thundera, even if many of the common folk thought that Tygra would be a better leader than her unproven, younger half-sister. The rivalry between the two siblings is strong but largely friendly with Lion-Ah looking up to her big sis and wanting to earn her respect while Tygra wants to bring the best out of Lion-Ah and at the end of the day always has Lion-Ah's back no matter what the Queen decides. Tygra may lack a potent weapon like the Sword of Omens, but she has some mastery over illusion magic and is able to turn herself invisible with the help of her bolas-whip. More potent deceptions require a bit more preparation on her behalf but it doesn't change the fact she's more experienced, practical, and level-headed than Lion-Ah. A few have tried to drive a wedge between the two, but rarely do they find much success in doing so. Despite her skill and talent though, Tygra has the unfortunate distinction of being captured the most out of all her comrades because she is often sent to scout out dangerous machines and is sadly not very lucky.
On a recent adventure to discover the cause for disappearing villagers, Tygra stumbled upon a robotic probe was the cause of the missing women. Unable to fight off the DeaExMachina, Tygra was subdued and processed by the machine. Which in this case means being sealed in latex and carried off for some terrible, unknown purpose~! Who knows what'll happen on this adventure!

"You know, if you were as mean as you are ugly, maybe you'd be an actual challenge~."
Panthera's story is one of successfully rising above her station and proving her worth in a system that wasn't keen on people stepping outside of the roles expected of them. Born a low-class cat, Panthera enlisted in the army of Lion-Ah's father as a common grunt and served in many campaigns to defend the kingdom from hostile forces. At one time she even risked her own life to defend Claudus, the King, from the enemy and that was when all of her hard work was recognized at long last! Panthera became one of the king's most trusted generals and served loyally until Thundera began to self-destruct. A prodigy with machines, it was Panthera that created the ship that allowed the ThunderCats to flee from doomed Thundera and the Mutants and she keeps it in good working order. A talented martial artist as well, Panthera puts her nunchucks to good use in service to her queen and she is an invaluable if somewhat...perverse member of the ThunderCats.

"There's still a lot for you to learn, but you've made progress~."
If one had to describe one of the ThunderCats as the heart of the team or the mother who mediated the disputes that came up between the team members, they would most likely be describing Cheetara. Although not the oldest of their number, Cheetara has a level head and patience that the others lack that was built in the many years of her childhood she spent as a priestess. One of many warrior priestesses meant to protect the King, Cheetara still feels a bit of guilt over not being able to do her duty..especially since it was because of her troublesome psychic powers that she wasn't able to be there to protect her king. All of the others have pointed out to her that if she had been in the throne room when Thundera fell than she would have perished right along-side the king but she believes otherwise. Super fast, psychic, and a talented warrior with her staff, she is far from a Cat to take lightly and she's saved the bacon of her companions on more than one occasion all on her own.

OOC:
...I don't know why I made this, please be gentle. An even mix of dom/sub but this alt leans hard to the prey side of things so don't expect these gorgeous Cats to nom you down! I don't do multi-character scenes very often though and only with people I've played with before, so have an idea of who you'd want to play with when you message me! More will be added later...which might very well include more ThunderCats or something more...EVIL!
