Clouds and the world at war

A combat medic searching for her missing sister in a world shaped by the collapse of an empire.

The premise

One person worth crossing a border for.

Clouds, a Catgirl from Melitople, has exhausted civilian ways to learn what happened to her sister, a political opponent of Rakiden's new government. When war closes the borders, Clouds joins a frontline reconnaissance patrol as its medic, hoping to find answers.

The decision is reckless. She may never be assigned to the right front. She takes the risk anyway.

The nations and the war

Melitople

A western-island constitutional monarchy: the monarch is a national symbol, while Parliament and the prime minister govern. Melitople helped defeat the old Rakiden Empire, yet its intelligence services are not without controversy.

Rakiden

Once a powerful empire, Rakiden was defeated by a coalition and divided into surviving territories and breakaway states. Resentment helped a new authoritarian regime rise, built around Pure Catgirl supremacy and persecution of dissenters.

The new war

Rakiden invades a former imperial nation to build a corridor between separated territories. It claims to protect its people; Melitople intervenes to prevent renewed imperial expansion.
