Zacata

Zacata “The SlimeCatKing” Felis is a slime cat that is the current Emir of Hermonia, and High Prophet of the Floristanite faith. He is an influential noble in the Razuni Sultanate, though only because of his stubbornness and will to be heard.

Appearance
Zacata takes the appearance of an anthropomorphic cat made of slime similar to that of a slime, having a somewhat thick, striped tail, a feline head, and digitigrade legs. He has darker green stripes on his tail, legs, back, arms, and the back and sides of his head.

Zacata usually wears a black hoodie, and black shorts, found by him somewhere in the Razuni Sultanate long ago, he also wears a crown with an emerald encrusted into it, the emerald containing his soul, as he himself is not technically the slime, but a soul in a crystal that possesses the slime.

In a sort of alternate dressing he wears sometimes, in which he is a mercenary called “The Mushroom Cat,” he wears leather clothing that completely covers himself up, and due to his natural amorphousness and gender fluidity, the guise depicts him as looking like a humanoid woman of some sort. He also wears an eye-hole-less mask depicting a cat’s face, with his gem on the mask’s forehead area, allowing him to see.

Personality
Zacata is often described as determined, and loyal, but arrogant and stubborn, often going through with actions for what he believes as beneficial for his friends and family but probably are not, and needing to be basically bullied to get him to stop trying to do.

As of late, however, Zacata has been getting more aggressive and less ethical in morals, this is due to the time he has spent being a slime cat, and having less of a shell in which his soul is in, leading to his soul to start degrading, quickened by trauma experienced in his early life. A few of his friends know that Zacata’s soul is degrading, and one of them; Sal Blackwood, is able to at least try to reverse the degradation, and is at this point trying to.

Possessions
Zacata Felis has many items, most notable being his crown, often called “Life’s-Blood” by him due to the gem contained within it, other possessions he has include the island of Hermonia, and a few weapons of different types.

Creation
Zacata was created as the first experiment by his mother, called now by most “V,” from the soul of a child put into an emerald, and possessing slime. He had no memories of his past life back then, and still has limited memories of his past life even now.

V was a worse person back then than now, and often almost neglected Zacata, thinking of him as an experiment, calling him 01 due to this.

Meeting Kiturra
When Zacata was twelve, he ran away from home after another conflict between him and V, like many other times he would have ran away, he would come back to his home. Something that was different about this is that he would meet someone in the snowy area around his home. That person was someone called Kiturra, a dark-skinned human that had for some reason travelled to near his childhood home ill-prepared for the cold; dressed more for the White-Badlands than the cold.

Zacata got Kiturra some clothes; some of V’s that were stolen from her room, and led her to somewhere that was warmer, this sparked a bond that still to this day exists in some way.

Time in the Cult
Sometime later, he got involved in a cult; called the Cult of the Three Eyes, by way of his mother joining it. The cult was secretly evil, though not obvious to Zacata at first, he became a guard of the 2nd Elder, and his mother became the Third Elder.

It was years later when Zacata discovered how bad the cult was, and this prompted him to run away from the cult, to somewhere even he did not know where.

Trip to Hermonia
After escaping from the cultist’s, Zacata eventually came to an ocean, and decided to sail through it, ending up sailing to a mushroom island called Hermonia, being guided there by the waves influenced by the goddess Hyitlia.

After some time on Hermonia, Zacata became its leader, and became a high prophet of the faith that Hyitlia belonged to, as well as the prophet of Hyitlia.

Time as a Mercenary
During the time Zacata was fairly secluded on Hermonia, he got involved with a mercenary company, called the Brenran Mercenary Company, and quickly became a Mercenary Master, the highest rank within the company, and in the company was under the alias “The Mushroom Cat.”

His closest partner within the company was Kiturra; going under the alias “The Desert Snake.”

He left the mercenary company when she discovered the unethicality of being a mercenary, and thus broke contact with Kiturra too.

First Contact with the Razuni Sultanate
A few years before Rathirian colonisation, Sultan Bashar Razud of the Razuni Sultanate discovered the island of Hermonia, and had claimed it as territory of the Razuni Sultanate, Zacata countered this claim, and a compromise happened in which Hermonia would become a vassal of the Razuni Sultanate.

Becoming Emir of Brenra
Whilst he was ruling Hermonia, Zacata saw that the town was desolate, and the Sultan of that time; 2nd Sultan Malar Blackwood, saw this too, and offered to him for Hermonia to be integrated into the Razuni Sultanate as the capital of a new province to be formed; Brenra.

Zacata accepted the offer, and thus became the Emir of Brenra; which then contained the islands of Hermonia, Aera, and Agon-Shar.

Dealing with the Cult
A long time afterwards, in the later months of 4th Sultan Indo’s reign, Zacata was kidnapped by the cultists of the Cult of the Three Eyes, along with his friend Rizzy Whitlock, and another of his friend Sal Blackwood’s daughter; Faven Blackwood. In this cell, he met his younger sister; Rin Blackwood, and re-met his mother, who by this point went under the name “The Third Elder.”

Zacata eventually escaped, as well as eventually defeated the cultists, the Third Elder seeing the wrongness of her actions, the Second Elder being killed by a third friend of his; called Z’swaku “Sheep” Bee, and the 1st Elder committing suicide soon after whilst he and two others were chasing him.

The Irisnian Secession
In the later stages of dealing with the cult, the state of Medena, most of Sondor, and some of Brenra seceded from the Razuni Sultanate, becoming the Kingdom of Irisnia, this caused stress for Zacata, and thus he decided to travel around the Razuni Sultanate for a few days to destress, writing a note to inform the others of what he was doing.

The Re-Meet-Up with Kiturra
While Zacata was out destressing, Kiturra came to meet Zacata. Zacata was initially untrusting of Kiturra, but they eventually came to be friends again, and Zacata went back to do a bounty with Kiturra; both being in their merc guises.

The bounty included capturing Rizzy Whitlock, though Zacata had no plan to complete the bounty entirely, planning to only collect the money, then get Rizzy free. However, three other bounty hunters intercepted them, blowing up Zacata and stabbing Kiturra with a dagger, Zacata just brought his slime pieces back together and put the merc clothes back on quickly, and brought Kiturra to the Brenran Merc Company main base.

Kiturra was healed by one of the mercs, and Zacata sat by her bed waiting for her to heal from the wound. Soon Kiturra became well enough to wake up, and she saw that Zacata was sleeping beside her bed, and was impressed that he considered her a friend enough to do that, then she left to go do something else only her then quite poisoned (poisoned in the fact that she had been stabbed before and her mind is still affected by it) mind would think to do.

Zacata woke up soon after and looked for Kiturra, and eventually, with a friend of his friend; Collin Silkspinner, found her having had accidentally eaten a Hermonian stiff mushroom, which caused her to be completely paralysed.

Soup Trip
Much later after, Zacata, Collin, a redeemed V, an Ender Warden, Rizzy Whitlock, and Kiturra went to rescue Rin from a group of cultists of the remnants of the Cult of the Three Eyes. Zacata tried to kill the cultists as revenge, but was prevented by the others for the fact that the cultists stopped trying to fight them, and in response to an argument between him and Rizzy, Collin took his crown and gem, which after Collin escaped from Zacata, led to Zacata’s slime body melting into a puddle of slime, which was later collected by Malar and Rizzy Blackwood.

Zacata’s soul in the meanwhile had been forcefully transported into Sora, a world of wayfarers, by Sal Blackwood teleporting, though they did not know that. Zacata’s soul was put into a wayfarer body, one that was to be used by another, and had to journey through Sora to get back to Eldham, all whilst not having memories of his past self. In Sora, he had watched one of his friends; Avis, fight in a duel and win, thus making it so both Zacata’s soul and Avis would be teleported to Hermonia.

The Two Other Slime Cats
A little before Zacata returned to Eldham, Kiturra got kidnapped by the ender lord Zazake, and after Zacata returned, Zazake had been transported to the space between worlds a little before, but had basically been replaced by the new ender lord Cyrillius, and Zacata went with some of his friends, his mother, and daughter, Zacota, to get Kiturra back.

Zacota had been left at the entrance to the ender den, both to keep her safe, and for her to keep guard. After going through a few rooms, they eventually came to a web with cocoons attached to it, these had some animals, a human, and another friend of Zacata; Andromeda, but no Kiturra. Immediately after freeing all of those in the cocoons, Cyrillius appeared from somewhere, and was holding Kiturra’s unconscious body. Cyrillius proceeded to remove Kiturra’s soul from her body and leave it floating around, and dropped her body down the spike-filled ravine he was above.

It was eventually decided that to revive Kiturra, she would become a slime cat like Zacata, though possessing honey instead of slime, and so it was done. Soon after though, someone called Silver van Bee; a friend of Zacata, came to the island, and killed V somewhere no-one would immediately see, and some distance away from the others, but was quickly found via a sort of flare that V casted.

V was revived too as a slime cat, though of purple slime, and only after Zacota convinced him to.

Soul Degradation
At least a few years after, Zacata was hired by an undead spiderling called Evol Elmweb to kill Collin Silkspinner, Zacata having had a grudge against Collin, and with his soul degrading, accepted the offer and killed Collin. Zacata was put in jail after being convicted of murder, and is currently being put in some sort of therapy by Sal Blackwood themselves to reverse the soul degradation.

Kiturra Felis
Zacata met Kiturra when she was still human, at 12 years old, and they almost instantly bonded together, almost marrying each other had Zacata not left the mercenary company. When Kiturra got back into his life, this bond formed again, yet quicker, though not yet to the point it was before.

V
V is the mother of Zacata, and he has despised V ever since she was cruel to him every day when he lived with her, having done many things not irrevocably bad, though bad nonetheless. Zacata has still not yet seen V in a good light, despite her actions otherwise, and is very reluctant to let his daughter; Zacota, be with her. This hatred is magnified by the degradation of his soul.

Zacota Felis
Zacota is Zacata’s ~15-year-old daughter, and he loves her very much, giving her gifts often to go against what his mother had done, and due to some other reasons. Zacata as of now thinks that Zacota is at home in the Hermonia Stronghold, though the reality is quite different.

Rizzy Whitlock-Blackwood
Rizzy is a friend of Zacata, them having basically met for the first time in the cell in the cultist’s base. Zacata disagrees with Rizzy on several things, such as Rizzy’s pacifism, and they have gotten into an argument related to it.

Malar Blackwood
Malar is also a friend of Zacata, having known each other for decades, Zacata also disagrees with Malar on several things, such as morality and what to do with Irisnia. There has not yet been an argument that has caused something like what happened with Rizzy.

Collin Silk-spinner
Zacata dislikes Collin for mainly one reason, Collin having taken his crown and gem one time. This dislike culminated in Zacata accepting the offer to kill him in exchange for 50k, and Zacata’s trial.

Trivia
