Set in an alternate 1920s-inspired world where animals rule the skies, Whiskers in the Skies follows two orphaned cat brothers, Ace and Felix Whiskerfield, as they chase their dream of winning the most prestigious air race in the country and win The Skywhiskers Cup. But it’s more than just competition — it’s their chance to rebuild their late parents’ aviation legacy, restore their family name, and prove that misfits from the scrapyard can soar.
With their plane barely held together and no ground crew in sight, the brothers must assemble a team of underdogs and fend off from mysteries and other rival aviators.

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen from the flight deck,
We are happy to say that the show has gotten up to 1,000 dollars in a budget to kickstart a pilot episode.
Please feel free to apply or contact my personally to apply. Future roles will come out, we are looking for artists and animators!
Good day my Faline Pilots and Ground crews. We are working on the project but have not began production. Keep on coming in and wait for more!
More is on the way I promise!
Name: Ace Whiskerfeild
Age: 19
Species: Black American Shorthair Cat (Anthropomorphic)
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Voice Type: Young adult; confident, with a slight Western accent. Think cool, smooth, but grounded — like a rookie with grit and charm.
Personality Traits:
Ace is clever, bold, and just a bit cocky. He’s a quick thinker with a rebellious streak, always pushing limits — whether it's in the cockpit or during heated banter. While outwardly confident, he's driven by a deep desire to prove himself. Loyal to a fault and fiercely protective of his team, Ace is the type who masks vulnerability behind bravado.
Backstory:
Raised around crop dusters and barn hangars, Ace grew up dreaming of breaking out of his small-town skies. Being from a line of pioneers in aviation he looked to the skies for his dreams!
"You want me to what?!?!.... If you say so"
"HA! Thats one for Ace and zero for Blues"

Name: Felix Whiskerfeild
Age:18
Species: Orange Tabby Cat
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Voice Type: Mid-range; upbeat, nerdy but charismatic. Sounds like someone who talks fast when excited. Think techie with heart.
Personality Traits:
Felix is the brain of the operation — a fast-talking, fast-thinking engineer with an obsession for aviation mechanics. He’s analytical, enthusiastic, and deeply curious, with a dash of awkward charm. Loyal, empathetic, and always eager to help, but shy as a well cat...
Backstory:
A prodigy in aeronautics, Felix grew up around blueprints instead of playgrounds. Along with his brother Ace the 2 got into trouble left and right. They worked together to build their first plane (although Felix built it truly)
Role in Story:
Felix is Ace’s best friend and the squad’s unofficial engineer. He provides crucial support both on and off the field, often solving problems others don't even see. His knowledge and big heart make him an indispensable part of the crew.
"I don't know Ace... That could be dangerous" *Shy and scared*
"ACE BREAK RIGHT"

Ethnicity: American (Southern drawl)

Visual Design: Weathered feathers, wears an old flight jacket with patches from many battles. Perched with a calm but intense gaze, often smoking a pipe or chewing on a twig
“War… war is no place for boys”
“Fly high boys”
[Freestyle] Show me what you got from singing to what you think they would say or sound like.
Role: Main antagonist — a rival pilot and socialite who looks down on Ace and the other "amateur" pilots, representing the elite, exclusive world Ace wants to break into.
Personality: Rich, snobby, and proper. Would rather be in a gentlemen's club than with armature pilots. Driven & Competitive.
Species/Breed: Black Siberian cat
Gender: Female
Age: 34
Ethnicity/Cultural Identity: British (London Proper)
Skills: Exceptional pilot, Charismatic Leader, Social Manipulator, Wealth & Resources
Appearance: Silky silver-gray fur with subtle sapphire-blue highlights along her back and tail. Sleek, polished look with sharp, angular blue eyes. Always wears a tailored navy-blue pilot jacket with silver embroidery on the cuffs and collar, a crisp white shirt underneath, and a silk sapphire scarf tied neatly around her neck. Elegant leather gloves, perfectly fitted, and polished black boots complete her refined ensemble. Her posture is always upright and graceful, with a faint, knowing smirk.
Voice Inspiration: Helena Bonham Carter
Additional notes: Amelia’s family owns a prestigious flying club or aviation company, and she’s expected to uphold the family legacy.
She secretly respects Ace’s raw talent but won’t admit it.
Perhaps a personal history or rivalry: maybe Ace and Amelia were acquaintances or rivals in their youth.
She might push Ace to become better by constantly challenging him, unintentionally acting as a motivator.
"Oh darling, its sad you thought you even had a shot at this race...."
"I'm the best pilot in England Ace, you yanks think you're all hotshots because you invented flight."
