P L O T

The feral cats of Gray City have been pretty much left to their own devices for decades. Two sizable groups of cats have risen up in that time: the Shattered Claws and the New Order. The Shattered Claws are a peaceful group, devoted mainly to healing, spirituality, and strength in numbers. By contrast, the New Order is much harsher, focused on order, loyalty to the group, and strong over weak. Outside of the Shattered and the Order, Outliers band together or fend for themselves. The order of the City is well-defined, and each cat knows their place.

That is, until the fateful day when the humans went to war.

Now, Gray City has become an active battleground, with soldiers everywhere, blocks of the city under siege, and civilians starving in the streets or hoarding food behind barricades in their homes. Caught in the crossfire, the feral cats must decide what to do. The Shattered Claws suggest banding together, but there are rumblings amongst the New Order that the cats should take advantage of the situation and take over the Shattered's territory. And of course, the Outliers are stuck in the middle, trying to avoid both groups and hold out until the humans settle down.

How will these cats, shadowed by human struggles, survive? It's up to you.

R U L E S

1. Minimum of 150 words per post. I'm obviously not requiring you to write a novel, but it should be about 2-5 paragraphs (no novel, just an essay XD). After all, this is a LITERATE roleplay. Posts should be PAST TENSE and THIRD PERSON. Please try your very hardest to use proper grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. I understand that mistakes and typos happen, but your post should be legible and easily understood.
2. Please write in English only. Kind of a given, but I have to put it out there. Names in other languages are fine, but please use the Roman alphabet only.
3. There is a literacy requirement for Shadowed. I will require a roleplay sample on your character sheet (prompts will be over there), if I feel that you do not meet the literacy requirements, I will PM you and ask for you to leave.
4. Post at least twice a week. This roleplay will be pretty chill, but I'd like for you guys to be active-ish. Let me know if you're going on hiatus/vacation/etc. and somebody will ghost your character.
5. No unnatural powers or appearances. Yes, it's a fictional city, but it's based in our world. No magic, superpowers, or purple cats will be allowed.
6. Be kind and respectful. The character might suck, but that's no excuse to be rude and/or hateful to a player. This also goes for respecting personal beliefs. HOWEVER, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or hating on one's religion will not be tolerated.
7. Keep it PG-13. Mating and heavy gore will not be tolerated and I will remove your character. Fade to black if necessary. However, characters can and probably will die.
8. Please roleplay only on this thread. This will serve as our roleplaying thread. There is a character sheet thread for characters only, and an OOC thread for roleplay posts only. Respect the thread titles!
9. Please add a header to your posts! like so:
name | gender (pronouns) | group | rank | location | mentions

DO NOT POST ON THIS THREAD UNLESS YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE ROLEPLAY. If you are not part of Shadowed, you can post on the OOC thread or read the roleplay posts, but do not roleplay unless you have approved characters.
