Dead Bird Metro Information post
A general information post about this Au
Dead Bird Metro is an AU in which the roles of the birds and cats have been reversed.
Connie and Grooves still run dead bird studio. Buuut. They are in crippling debt. So. How do you solve that?
Become Avid enjoyers of crime.
The two are leaders of the Talonclaw gang. The most powerful and feared gang in Avian Society. However they don't send out their goons to do the dirty work for them, no, they'd much rather get it done themselves. It's much more fun that way.
The two are married to each other, they keep things professional when people are around, but when they're alone, they get all cute and cuddly with each other.
Both also have different approaches to dealing with things: Grooves is more calm, he thinks things through and makes the majority of the heist plans, he isn't one for fighting, but lord help you if you hurt his man.
Conductor is less thinking more smashing and setting things on fire, he's reckless and doesn't really think before he acts.
Empress and Cooking Cat(Cindy)
Empress isn't the leader of any gang, she can still be downright terrifying at times, but she's just a chill cat running a jewelry store with her wife Cindy.
Empress is a well respected cat in Nyakuza, Le Félin is a high end Jewelry shop, and pretty well known though the cat society.
Cindy runs a small restaurant in the high end of Nyakuza, but she also works weekends in a soup kitchen and provides meals for the homeless. She used to be a higher up in the Lazy Paw Gang, but that wasn't a great time in her life, and is something she'd rather forget.
Empress' store has expensive jewellery. Obviously. And, shiny, expensive items attracted the birds. Her store is a major target for the Talonclaw gang, and she's had enough.
Hat kid is still the little chaotic shit we know and love.
And she's agreed to help the Empress stop the birds! Or is she?
Hat kid had been tasked by Empress to scout out dead bird studio in order to get her jewels back, and stop them from stealing more.
But, hat kid also ends up taking up work for the directors. So she has to make a choice.
On one hand, this old cat lady is letting hattie stay in her big fancy Manor.
On the other hand. These birds are paying her in cookies.
How haven't the directors been arrested yet?
Well. The police are the seals. They could watch them Rob a bank and not even notice.
Walrus Captain is chief of police, and he hates it. But it pays well.
He knows the seals are incompetent, but he still cares about their health and safety.
Arresting the Directors is his end goal before he retires from the force.
Crows are still shady, but here, they're the ones you go to if you need Information on anything or anyone.
They've got information on everybody. They're a neutral party, but if you betray them, you will regret it.
The mafia would normally fight with the Talonclaw gang for territory and status, but instead they've struck a deal with them to keep the peace. The Talonclaw gang has a lot of penguins, so the mafia provides the fish, the birds supply the illegal items.
Mafia Boss also has a new cyborg like body that some science owls came up with in an attempt to peace with the mafia back when the two gangs were fighting.
Moon Penguins and Express Owls
The goons of the Talonclaw gang,
The owls work security, as they can swoop down and attack intruders without causing too much attention to them. The penguins may be small, but in their large numbers then can cause a lot of damage.
