Drystan is the founder of Angstville. He arrived here from Earth with his dear friends Rue, Hedge, Soko, Rainy, and Joshua. Not long after his arrival, a she by the name of Banksie joined the village led here by nestor, a late arrival from Earth. It didn't take long at all for the two to fall in love and end up blessed with a litter of three. they raised Divine, Amadeus (formerly known as Ailurophile), and Remus to adolescence, when they set off on their journey for adulthood as a rite of passage. While they were gone, the two had their second litter Francis and Star-Spangled, and once the two were born, their older siblings came home to see them, now full adults.

Dystan is a very protective cat. Of his family, his village, and pretty much everyone. He doesn't have the best health or intelligence, but he is very strong and a capable fighter, hunter, and miner. Though he spends most of his work time hunting for the community.

His name means "Full of Sorrow", which is funny considering what a happy life he's had with his family and friends. It's also the reasoning behind the village name "Angstville". His sword is known as "Gwilym" meaning "Protector". Sometimes he claims that Gwil can speak to him.
