Apparently, H.P. Lovecraft was a cat lover. In the Cthulhu Mythos, cats are one of the few allies humanity has in the fight against the "Other Gods" (the Ancient Ones). That, with my recent addition of Batman to the Arkham Investigators, culminated in this. If you like, be sure to tell me what you think along with any suggestions.
Catwoman
Occupation: The Cat Burglar
Stamina: 5
Sanity: 5
Possessions: One common item (Whip), one unique item (Claws), and one ally (Black cat).
Feline Grace: Catwoman can slip by a monster and still complete her goal, ignoring it completely.
The Story So Far:
When Selina Kyle heard that the GCPD was under attack by a bunch of robe-wearing loons, she figured that it would be an excellent night for her. With both the police and the Batman occupied, the museums and jewel shops of Gotham would be hers for the taking.
Her first stop was at the Gotham Museum of Oddities, not a place she would usually go, and not just because of its lack of cat-themed artifacts or jewels. Its unsettling architecture, shiver-inducing atmosphere, and almost-obscene exhibits don't help to draw in visitors. But the unique emerald-eyed feline statuette that's rumored to be of no known civilization draws her attention, and desire.
Getting inside the museum is no trouble at all. Everything goes south as soon as she touches the statuette; she's drawn into a shifting kaleidoscope of visions and sights the likes of which she can't begin to imagine. Strange cities and lands, weirds beasts and people, and a place where no man can kill a cat. With a gasp, she awakes up to find herself on the ground surrounded by occultists wielding swords, guns, and strange energies.
The fight ends with her bound and about to be fed to a monster far too horrible to have been a product of an Ace Chemicals accident or a laboratory experiment gone terribly wrong. Just when it's about to consume her, the windows shatter to admit not Batman as she instinctively expected, but a horde of cats. The occultists and the monster are finished off by a whirlwind of fur, claws, and teeth. Selina is stunned by the sight of the monster falling and the remaining fanatics taking to their heels.
The cats cluster around her after biting and clawing through her restraints. A majestic Bombay strides up to her and begins meowing, and to her shock, she finds that she can somehow understand the cat's sounds and noises.
"Fear not, Selina Kyle. We have seen your devotion to our kind through the statue of The First Cat, through the eyes and ears of our Gotham brethren, and through your willingness to take up our name and likeness. Tonight, Gotham's darkest hour is upon it, and the Cats of Ulthar stand by you."
I couldn't help but shiver as I thought of Catwoman leading an army of cats against the eldritch forces aligned against Gotham City. That would be permanently imprinted on the mind of anyone who saw that.
