Davy

The Drachaverse	The Feralverse	The Medieverse	The Pokeverse	The Tribalverse

Davy is a pompous and self-reliant cat who refuses to be humbled by the wilderness. Davy traverses a foreign land, recalling his foggy past as a rich man's feline companion. He searches for his friends Leo and Clara, and the circumstances that brought him to the Megawild he walks across, a place where all animals are of curiously high intelligence.

Story

Davy's Entry into the Wild

Davy's past is not very well known. The cat, before he arrived in this new strange land, was previously the pet of a wealthy man. When he was not hanging around in his mansion, Davy would go outside and meet with two friends of his, Leo and Clara, two other cats.

He does not know exactly when it happened, but he suddenly found himself in a new foreign land, and his friends had come with him. He wondered at first if he was drugged and dragged in by his friends deep into the wild. His relationship with them was a bit rocky at that point, but he was eventually put at ease, integrating himself into his new life, though deeply homesick.

Making Enemies

One day, Davy was hanging out with his friends as usual when he spotted a lone honey buzzard, Lyla, nearby. He dared Leo to go and hug the buzzard, which he did despite Clara's protests. What resulted soon after was all three of them being swallowed whole by the voracious bird.

The buzzard ordered the three cats to massage her from inside, though Davy was the only one who did not participate, seeing it as a trick to speed up the digestion. Eventually, Leo and Clara were regurgitated by the bird and escaped, but Davy remained in Lyla's stomach.

Lyla was close to digesting the cat, but she released him when he begged and promised he would fetch her easy meals until he could no longer walk.

Davy would spend about a month fetching Lyla prey until one night, he would find that a vole that he had fed her was still alive and calling out for help. Davy would reach in and grab the vole from Lyla's guts, though he managed to wake her up and nearly lost his leg to her sharp beak. Davy pulled out the vole without Lyla noticing, but the bird tied him up to the tree branch. When she went back to sleep, the vole promised Davy he would return with an army.

After another day of feeding the buzzard, Lyla was subsequently attacked by the army of voles, though it was a short lived battle, as the bird devoured every last one. Guessing that Davy had conducted the attack, Lyla went in after him, but was staggered when the voles coordinated an attack from within her gizzard. Lyla fell hard into the ground so that her talons sunk into the earth. Davy took this opportunity to escape once and for all, and the buzzard soon grew sick enough to vomit out all the voles.

Run-In with Atlas

While he was making enemies, Davy would eventually make new friends. One was in the form of a happy-go-lucky vixen named Michelle. The two became amicable very quickly and Davy even thinks he may have fallen in love.

As the two played a game of Fox and Cat one evening, where Davy became prey and was swallowed by Michelle, the fox carried the feline into the forest to a more private place, but she came upon a strange human machine that dazed her to the point where she vomited up Davy.

Weeks later, the two were on their way back to meet with Sheila, Davy offering to take Michelle to the city one day. They found that Sheila was in the middle of a fight with the bear Atlas. Davy watched in cover as Michelle rushed the bear but was promptly eaten, followed by Sheila. Thinking back to the incident where Michelle ran into the machine, Davy thought to use it to force Atlas to spit up the wolf and fox.

Davy led Atlas to the same machine, though he clumsily set it off, the pulse being adjusted for a small creature like him so that it did not affect Atlas. The bear subsequently stuffed Davy into his gullet, the cat hanging onto his tongue for dear life. The machine adjusted its pulse once more, this time to an extreme level to compensate for the weight of Atlas and the large amount of mass in his stomach. This caused the bear to vomit everyone up.

Later that night, Little Bad Wolf (who was in Atlas before Michelle and Sheila), Davy, Michelle, and Sheila huddled up in cover inside of a cave next to a lake. As they pondered on how they survived an encounter that should’ve ended their lives, Davy tried to explain how he used the machine to save them. This causes Sheila to warm up a great amount to the cat and even give him a kiss in thanks. With that, Davy was officially part of their little pack.

Davy has to stick with Sheila’s pack for now so that they can stand a chance against any future encounters with Atlas, though Davy is also willing to stick around because of his love for Michelle.

The Hunter-Killers

The night following their brush with Atlas, Davy and his new pack try to sleep. The cat wakes up with an unpleasant surprise. His whole team has been swallowed by a couple of reptiles, and his body is stuck to the ground by a pool of sticky substance! He is told by one of the reptiles, a monitor lizard named Percy, that he is wanted by his leader, Leopold. He swallows him, and Davy discovers Michelle already inside the lizard's gut. Davy cuddles close to Michelle for comfort, bathing in Percy's juices as he is transported to an estuary.

He is released along with Michelle into a dirt pit, falling right on top of Sheila and Aspen! They are then approached by a lion, who is in fact Leopold! The lion expresses great joy upon seeing Davy, asking if the "little lion" was the one responsible for warding off the bear. Davy confirms this, feeling somewhat frightened and humbled that he is being complimented by such a large imposing feline. LBW snaps at the lion, however, knowing that he wishes to recruit them in their mutual fight against Atlas. Leopold asks him and the others to think about his offer as he leaves them be.

The Misfits Strike Back

Hours after Leopold leaves them, Davy comes up with a plan for the pack to escape the pit. Getting eaten by Michelle intentionally, he cries out in horror to attract the attention of Grendel, who lounges nearby. Grendel comes down to confront Michelle, and Sheila takes the opportunity to lunge and pin his head under her belly, creating tension in the snake's ropey body so that Aspen and Michelle can climb out. Outside of the pit, the trio get in position to grasp onto the snake's body so that Sheila can climb out next. She fails to do so and her weight causes her to fall back down onto Grendel's head, knocking out the serpent.

Sheila instructs them to run, nudging LBW to lead them to safety. LBW leads the pack and they rush towards the direction of a mountainous region. Aspen tells Michelle and Davy to move on without him, encouraging them to split up since he smells something hunting them. Michelle continues to run with Davy, Constance watching them as they go.

Personality

Davy is a headstrong and rather stuck-up feline, undoubtedly taken up from his upbringing. Having looked up to his master, Davy developed a strong sense of self-worth and confidence in his skills and knowledge, believing himself to be superior to most other animals. After his encounter with Lyla, he felt he was stronger than before, and his bravery was bolstered greatly.

Even if the tabby cat enjoys devouring others whole, he does feel rather guilty and disturbed by his liking of this, thinking back to when he himself could have been easily digested. It's quickly brushed off by his understanding of the laws of nature, and his tendency to make excuses for almost everything he does. When there is a window to do good, Davy sometimes takes it, not entirely bereft of consideration for others.

Forte/Skills

As any cat would be, Davy is great at jumping and scaling tall structures, whether they be small cliffs or sprawling trees. His mobility is fantastic even if he is overweight from his recent eating habits. He tries to exercise and move around more, as his first time eating another whole had caused him to be lazy for a time.

Davy, previously being a human's companion, has observed tools that were used by them, and has a much wider knowledge of them than the average animal would. With this higher intellect, Davy tries to apply usage of tools that he finds in the Megawild in as many situations as he can so that he has the upper paw.
