Paranoid Pete, the alley cat

The Cast

This is our very own hero, Peter Paws, aka Paranoid Pete. Pete is an alley
cat that lives by the motto "Just because you believe that a rat is lurking behind every dumpster, it
doesn't mean that you're wrong." He knows that the rats are not only out to get him, but trying to take
over the world. Since no one will believe him but his trusty sidekick, Nip the Mouse, it's up to him
to save the world.

The lovable, and wordy, sidekick: Catnip, aka Nip. Nip is a highly intelligent
mouse, who was raised in the dormitory halls of an esteemed College (which shall remain nameless). His
long-winded speech, sprinkled with sometimes unusual words, is rarely understood by anyone, even his best
friend Pete. However, what Pete can't translate, Nip will, albeit grudgingly. If it weren't for his brains,
Pete might not have gotten this far, or foiled so many of the evil rats' plans. Nip has been Pete's loyal
friend and sidekick since they first met.

Known by most merely as the "Henchrat" or "Henchman" to his boss, the alpha rat, this determined
and stubborn rat has served as the Rat Leader's right-paw rodent for as long as their efforts of world-conquest
have been going on. Though he is constantly foiled and defeated by Pete and Nip, he never gives up. He was
fired once, at which point Pete learned his real name, but was hired back almost a day or two later when it was
realized that his replacement couldn't even pretend to accomplish as much as he had. After all, he is the one
that gave Pete that bite in his ear.

The Rats' Leader, also known as the Alpha Rat. He is the only albino rat among
them that has been seen so far, and the only one to wear a black robe. No one knows where he comes from,
or why he wants so badly to take over the world and enslave all cats, but nothing can deter this annoying
little rodent.
