Background

In a near-future Earth, rapid advancements in space exploration and scientific technology have led humanity to make contact with a cat-like alien race from their home planet, Feline Sphere. Under the leadership of a singular genius named Elon, humans succeed in deep-space exploration and by chance establish communication with these highly intelligent cat creatures, who have been roaming the galaxy and interacting with various civilizations.

As the cultural and technological exchanges between Earth and Feline Sphere intensify, the two societies begin to blend. From this unique convergence emerges a new lifeform called Elonxcat.

Core Setting

Elonxcat:

• Created by combining Elon’s groundbreaking technologies with the genetic intelligence of the cat race.
• Appears as an adorable cat-like being but is, in fact, an advanced bioengineered form of life, integrating artificial intelligence with feline DNA.
• Possesses the mission of uniting the future of humans and cats through boundless travel and shared scientific and spiritual insights.

Elon:

• A prodigious scientist and entrepreneur who leads major space exploration and cutting-edge technology research.
• Orchestrates interactions with the feline race, driven by vast resources and influence.
• Often finds himself a target of opposition forces due to the radical nature of his projects.

Feline Sphere:

• A planet where all cats are interconnected through a high-level mental network called “Mind Link,” sharing thoughts and knowledge.
• Holds advanced yet eco-friendly technology, having explored the galaxy and interacted with external civilizations.
• Through cooperation with humanity, they share future-oriented technologies and develop a keen interest in Earth’s culture.

Opposing Forces

1. Government of Earth’s Conservatives (GEC):
   • A conservative Earth government faction claiming that contact with the feline race is dangerous.
   • Upholds traditional human dominance and advocates for preserving Earth’s status quo.
2. Claws of Purity:
   • A radical faction within Feline Sphere opposing external cultural influence.
   • Believes that the cats’ fundamental identity is jeopardized by integration with other civilizations.
   • Stands in direct conflict with the progressive feline leadership.
