Pests of the West is a short-form series following a gang of outlaws who can't seem to do their job right, no matter how hard they try.
Meet the cast!
Oswald is the strategist of the group. Despite spending most of his life in Arizona, it's clear he was born and raised in the East. He may be skittish, but his intelligence makes up for it, drafting plans with simple instructions that always seem to go astray due to his teammates' chaotic energy. His participation in the gang and their illegal activities doesn't stop him from following the law whenever possible, to his teammates' dismay.
Oswald Robinson
possum, he/they, 27 y/o
Leslie West
Raccoon, he/him, 27 y/o
The leader with a can-do attitude, Leslie, believes that with some good teamwork and better pyrotechnics, anything is possible. Leslie takes pride in being the de facto leader of the gang, despite occasionally putting the gang in less-than-optimal situations. Even with this mediocre track record, Leslie's blind optimism, crazed recklessness, and ridiculously high amount of confidence are enough to get them out of almost any situation.
Charlie Pawstin
Wildcat, he/him, 27 y/o
The voice of reason in a group of reckless ambition, Charlie's always the first to speak on anything, but never jumps into a plan with an impulse. He may have a snarky mouth and is quick with petty remarks, but always knows how to cover his tracks and focus on what's most important. His winning traits, however, are his diligence and unwavering loyalty to those he cares for.
Purcilla Pawstin
cat, she/her, 65 y/o
An aristocrat tired of the rules that came with her class, Purcilla decided to live her golden years committing crimes and hanging with the gang. She wields her free will like a weapon, and with her surprising strength, anything is possible for her.
​
Unless she trips and falls.
​
She will break a hip.
Buttons B. Buttons
Bat, they/them, 19 y/o
Acting first and thinking never, Buttons is a gold-hearted yet simple-minded young bat. While their actions may lead to a little bit of trouble and a lot of property damage, they have unending loyalty to their gang, and they are always sure to be tagging along, whether that accompaniment be helpful or not.
Emile Perez
rat, he/him, 35 y/o
Emile is a man of many secrets, with his past being the biggest of them all. The only thing that is even remotely obvious is that he's been doing this crime stuff a long, long time, as his experience as an outlaw far exceeds that of his peers. As a result, he's highly pretentious, stubborn, and set in his ways, leading to many a squabble with his colleagues and their unconventional ideas and methods of doing their jobs.
