CatMetal Corps - The magic band

CATMETAL CORPS
Forged in sorrow. Bound by song. Roaring into legend.

Mischa, the Lightbearer

  • Physical Description: A sleek silver tabby with piercing green eyes that shine like twin stars. She dons radiant golden armor etched with ancient sigils of hope and endurance. Her cloak is woven from midnight blue threads, tipped with stardust.

  • Personality: Compassionate but fierce. Mischievous humor hides a heart that still aches for lost loved ones. Fearless when defending her bandmates or the innocent.

  • Backstory: Once a guardian of a sacred temple to the Goddess of the Morning Star. Drawn by visions to the Grove's destruction, she sacrificed herself to heal the wounded and free Vaelthar from the Dark God's chains, resurrected by the world's own song.

  • Special Abilities: Her voice channels beams of radiant magic, empowering allies and dispelling darkness. Her songs tap directly into the Heartbeat of the World.

  • Signature Move: The Dawncry — a final, searing note that bursts like a supernova, stunning enemies and lifting spirits.

Xalyth Flamewhisper, the Emberblade

  • Physical Description: Ethereal, lithe female Drow with silver-white hair cascading in burning waves, crimson eyes flickering like dying coals. Wears obsidian armor inlaid with molten silver veins, smoking softly with contained power.

  • Personality: Cool, sardonic, and enigmatic. Hides deep guilt for her past. A secret romantic who composes melancholy melodies when no one listens.

  • Backstory: Once a sorceress of the Underdark, seeking dark power, she was drawn to the Grove's destruction. Witnessing the devastation and the sacrifice of the forest, she turned against the Dark God. Mischa’s song awakened her soul.

  • Special Abilities: Shreds guitar solos that conjure spectral flames and illusions. Her solos summon phantasms of ancient battles and lost loves.

  • Signature Move: The Searing Spiral — a whirlwind of fire and shadow that engulfs the stage in haunting visions.

Torven Thunderforge, the Heartdrummer

  • Physical Description: Towering Nord barbarian, muscles rippling like mountains, arms inked with runes of storm and beast. His drum set is forged from dragonbone and thunderwood.

  • Personality: Jovial, endlessly loyal, with a booming laugh that shakes rafters. Sensitive about his secret poetry.

  • Backstory: A chieftain's son whose clan was lost to ice demons. Drawn to the Grove by omens of the world's anguish. Mischa's music healed his battered spirit and gave him a new clan.

  • Special Abilities: Drumming generates localized shockwaves; bass hits rumble like distant avalanches, syncing to the Heartbeat of the World.

  • Signature Move: Thunderheart Pulse — a primal drumbeat that lifts the audience into a frenzy of defiance.

Durgrim "Keys" Ironpick, the Rune-Tuner

  • Physical Description: Broad, stocky dwarf with a braided copper beard, goggles with shifting lenses, and armor studded with brass gears and arcane crystals. His keytar hums with electric runes.

  • Personality: Sardonic, clever, and protective. A gruff mentor who fixes everyone's gear and spirits without being asked.

  • Backstory: Expelled from the Artificer's Guild for "dangerous heresy" — weaving intrinsic music and magic into his creations. His instruments are tuned to different magical frequencies, altering their power. Drawn to the Grove's ruin by the world's anguished resonance.

  • Special Abilities: Wields "Chordsmithing" magic — weaving spells into his music, altering reality in subtle but dazzling ways.

  • Signature Move: Forgefire Arpeggio — a display of rune-light and lightning flashing to his melodies.

Celesthorn, the Verdant Soul

  • Physical Description: A majestic unicorn with a body shimmering like silvered bark, mane flowing in prismatic waves. His bass guitar is carved from the heartwood of the Grove’s eldest tree, housing the spirit of the Grove’s fallen druid guardian.

  • Personality: Serene and solemn, speaks rarely but profoundly. Carries deep grief for his lost forest, yet every note is a vow to protect life anew.

  • Backstory: Last of his sacred grove. Bound by grief and magic, his spirit found new purpose when Mischa’s light rekindled the Heartbeat of the World.

  • Special Abilities: His bass notes call roots, vines, and spectral wildlife to the stage; entwining enemies or lifting allies with verdant energy.

  • Signature Move: The Mourning Pulse — a bassline that stirs memories of hope and loss, causing enemies to falter and allies to rise.

Vaelthar the Skyburner, the Lightwielder

  • Physical Description: A massive, cobalt-scaled dragon with scars crisscrossing his wings. Eyes burn gold. He wears intricate barding crafted by Durgrim, embedded with prism-crystals for stage effects.

  • Personality: Stoic but fiercely loyal, bearing the shame of his past deeds. Seeks redemption through service, secretly adoring mortal music.

  • Backstory: Enslaved by the Dark God to destroy the Grove. Freed when Mischa and Celesthorn used the Heartwood Horn to shatter his collar. Now he wields the light in their service.

  • Special Abilities: Controls stage lighting through breath-magic — radiant beams, storms, and dazzling pyrotechnics.

  • Signature Move: Skyfire Crescendo — synchronized pyrotechnics and light with their most powerful songs.
