The Story

The time frame for Samurai Pride is about 3000 years in the future. Humans have been extinct for almost 2500 years and have been replaced by their creations, what I call "Animons". These Animons are the descendants of the animals that had been genetically altered to exhibit human like physiology and behavioral traits, including rational thought and problem solving. In time, these creatures, led by the Wolv, rebelled against their creators and effectively drove the humans to extinction. The world is now populated by several sentient Animon races including: Rats, Cats, Wolv, Dogs, Mice. After so long a period of separation from their Human creators, many of the Animons have begun to take an active interest in the ancient world the humans so completely dominated. Many of the old human ruins have been excavated and studied. Old philosophic and religious interests the humans once held to are now being re-discovered and adopted by the Animons, who naturally add their own spin to things and develop their own unique cultures and beliefs. It’s the same planet, but a whole new world!

This is a story about a group of Cats that have adopted the ancient bushido code as their way. And they travel the lands hiring themselves out to help towns and cities keep the peace, and capture fugitives. Lately though they have been spending most of their time up to their necks against the Rat horde, which is led by the Rat King Graver who desires to fulfill an ancient hatred against Cats by wiping them (and any who would side with them) from the face of the earth.

The members of the Pride are:
