The Setting
In the not so distant future, cats rule the world.
An intelligent breed of hunter-scientists, these cats created giant robots called Guardians in the image of their ancestral owners. With the power of Guardian technology, they became the apex species of the new world - Nekovia.
However, hubris is a power that corrupts all.
Through their greed and constant desire for power, Nyankind continued to push technology to the bleeding edge. They conducted their first nekogenic graft in an effort to fuse their feline DNA with guardians, attempting to enhance their abilities and reflexes.
The experiments were a success, but there were unforeseen side effects.
A dormant feral sentience began to awake within each guardian, perhaps sensing the unnatural union of machine and fur. Feralization was irreversible and countless Nyans became prey to their own creations. The casualties were immense and the remainder of the survivors fled underground. There they began to rebuild.
A routine exploratory mission led to the discovery of Nyanite, a rare material found near the Earth's core, one that would eventually stabilize the graftin process and prevent feralization. Using the power of Nyanite, the survivors rebuilt their civilization underground.
Today it is known as New Nekovia, the city with holographic skies.
It is a vibrant city full of optimism and hope - filled with heroes that dream of a better future. At the center lies the Battledome, a futuristic training facility that also serves as a reminder of the past and a symbol of hope for the future.
Nowadays, Guardian Battles are the most popular sport in New Nekovia, with extravagant competitions and lavish prizes for winning teams. Yet as countless heroes fight for glory and riches, the true meaning behind that fight is never forgotten.
