Cat

Species: Snare Fox (Vulpes laqueus)

Gender/pronouns: Female (vixen fox); she/her

First appearance: Episode 1-Our Friend Rebirth Horse

Fascinated by the strange and often unsettling, Cat is a curious and at times rash fox. Friendly and at times rather talkative, she will happily talk at length to any being that will listen about her fascination with the peculiar objects and "metal shelters" the "mythical" humans left behind. Cat can easily lose focus of more pressing matters in her passion, namely survival. Nonetheless, she cares deeply about her best friend and fellow Snare Fox Dog, determined to find a fabled somewhere, an anywhere that she and her friend can finally flee the horrors of the Post-Silence World and the past lives that haunt each of the two foxes.

Dog

Species: Snare Fox (Vulpes laqueus)

Gender/pronouns: Male (dog fox); he/him

First appearance: Episode 1-Our Friend Rebirth Horse

A bit of a worrywart, Dog is incredibly timid and shy. Afraid of just about everything, he relies a lot on his best friend Cat to keep himself grounded. He is very quick to find reasons to distrust any of the very few beings left behind after the Silent Apocalypse, out of a great concern for the safety of both himself and his friend. Dog too hopes that there is a place where he and his friend can thrive peacefully, away from the horrors of the Post-Silence World and the horrors they've both experienced. Even if he maybe masks it somewhat more than Cat, Dog has a similar fascination with the remnants of human culture and of the previous world in general, and given the opportunity will talk at length about how much "safer" it must have been.

Rebirth Horse

Species: Unknown

Gender/pronouns: Genderless/agender; they/them (or sometimes it/its).

First appearance: Episode 1-Our Friend Rebirth Horse

Who, or rather, what exactly is Rebirth Horse? They don't even seem to know that themself! All that does seem to be evident about this peculiar, seemingly very lax and friendly deity is that they are perhaps a small piece of something much bigger. Rebirth Horse seems to be a very powerful being but would rather spend time taking naps in old human dwellings or meadows than worry too much about anything else. Despite how unusual and at times ominously vague they are, Rebirth Horse seems to have taken an immediate liking to the foxy companions that are Cat and Dog. Yet, there could be something hiding deep beneath their ethereal body that is not supposed to be there...

Act

Species: Dog; Border collie (Canis familiaris)

Gender/pronouns: Some form of non-binary; they/them.

First appearance: Episode 2-Lament of a Beetle Collie (Coming soon!)

Act was once the beloved pet dog of a family of humans, that is until the Silent Apocalypse happened and their human family was erased. Jaded and quite snappy, Act feels an immense sense of grief over the loss of their human companions and feels they are without purpose, not helped by their at times blunt demanour of Act's beetle companion, Dhh. Yet, underneath their angry exterior, there is a very soft (and incredibly lonely) side to Act.

Dhhh

Species: Actaeon beetle or rhinoceros beetle (Megasoma actaeon)

Gender/pronouns: Agender insect; it/its.

First appearance: Episode 2-Lament of a Beetle Collie (Coming soon!)

A rhinoceros beetle with mysterious metaphysical capabilities, Dhh is the at-times stern insect companion of Act, with whom it crossed paths with at some point after the Silent Apocalypse. Dhh is insistent that Act helps them with fulfilling a certain "purpose" they initially agreed to, but it may be quite reluctant to address certain concerns for the sake of both itself and Act...

The Monarch Swarm

Species: Unknown

Gender/pronouns: Unknown/variable

First appearance: Episode 1-Our Friend Rebirth Horse

Nobody left really seems to know what the Monarch Swarm is... or rather, by the time any being does learn, it's already far too late. Some beings say the Swarm first appeared many seasons ago, some suggest it was much more recent. Regardless, much of the world has been startlingly quiet since it reared its many limbs and heads, both at once featureless and encrusted with many restless organs fueled by desperation and hunger. Whatever it may be, the Monarch Swarm has an insatiable hunger to devour what remains of the world, with no sense of self.
