Welcome to the apocalypse!
This is a roleplay mixing zombies with cats,
because of this the RP might get a bit gory.
Join at your own risk!
Story:
For many years cats have been living in an abandoned city. It was very peaceful up until two months ago when a virus broke out. This virus started turning cats into living corpses and caused mass panic among everyone. Many survivor/refugee groups have formed since the start with two major groups forming on either side of the city. The biggest group is led by a deceiving and clever cat that saw the chaos as an opportunity to gain power, the cats following him are clueless about his true nature. The second largest group belongs to a kind and honest cat who knows of the intentions of the evil cat. These cats are now struggling to survive in a place they once thrived in, who among them will survive?
Setting:
The RP takes place in an abandoned city. To give an estimate on how big the area is, it would take a cat three hours to get from one end to the other. One hour to get through each side of cat territory and one hour to get through the "Dead Zone" in between them. The city has been crumbling for a while and most buildings are in a state of disrepair and decay giving the cats plenty of places to hide. In the city are many different types of buildings such as gas stations, restaurants, mechanic shops, grocery stores, a school, drug stores, apartment buildings, residential areas, office buildings, a large warehouse, a shopping mall and a park. Surrounding the city is a forest made up of oak, birch and pine trees where cats can hunt for more diverse prey than what is found in the city.
Zombies:
Zombie cats have weak bodies but a nasty bite. Their claws can't infect a living cat but will always leave a nasty wound that makes cats very sick and if left untreated can kill them. Like any other zombies, the head is a weak spot. Zombie cats are relatively slow unless provoked and can't jump or swim. If you get one's attention it speeds up and will lash out in a blind fury and won't stop until it's either taken down, its target gets away or it manages to kill you. Their hearing is very sharp but their sight and smell is limited meaning stealth is your best friend.
Combat:
Cats obviously can't handle guns or explosives leading one to wonder how they fight the undead. Traps and CQCC are the only forms of fighting back. CQCC or Close Quarters Cat Combat is the main form of defense and is taught to all cats to ensure their safety. Traps are planned out in order to destroy large groups of undead and cannot be set up by less than four cats. The most common traps include pitfalls, boulder drops, barricades and water traps. Pitfalls are where cats dig holes and lead the undead to them to trap them inside. Boulder drops are where the cats lure the zombies to a set location and drop large debris, rocks or boulders on them to crush them. Barricades are where the cats lead the dead into a secluded location and block them in. Finally, water traps are where the cats lure the zombies to a unusable source of water and knock them in were they will eventually sink.
Groups:
The biggest group, led by the deceiving cat, is located in a large warehouse at the southern end of the city. The second largest group, led by the kindhearted cat, is located in a shopping mall on the northern end of the city. These are the main two however there are also other smaller groups scattered all across the city. The groups use a ranking system that allows them to operate smoothly and without conflict.
Ranks:
The ranks in the survivor groups are as follows;
Leader - The cat in charge of the group, makes all major decisions
General - Second in command, in charge of planning large operations
Scouts - Fast cats that scan the territory for danger and patrol borders
Guards - Keep the group safe from threats and guard the camp
Soldiers - The main fighting force of the group, battle the undead or other cats and aid the scouts
Hunters - Gather food for the group from the city or forest
Medics - Heal injured cats and determine the fate of the bitten
Trainees - Young cats in training to be one of the five main ranks
Mothers & Kittens - Mothers and their kittens
When kittens reach the age of six months old they become trainees and have to choose which rank they wish to become, Scout, Guard, Soldier, Hunter or Medic. Only cats of the Guard or Soldier rank have the opportunity to become a General.
The Bitten:
When a cat is bitten it is the Medic's job to make sure they are removed from the camp swiftly. It takes a full day for a cat to die after being bitten and an hour after dying to reanimate, during that time the decomposition process will be slightly sped up to give the zombies their iconic rotting look. After determining that a cat is definitely bitten, the medic selects a team of one scout and two soldiers to escort the bitten cat outside of the camp and into the "Dead Zone" where they will be left to die. It sounds mean but it is the most humane way to remove the bitten cats. Their death is quick and painless and by leaving them out they have a chance to live out the last bit of their life without endangering the other cats in the group. Nothing about the bite is contagious.
The "Dead Zone":
The Dead Zone is the area between the northern and southern part of the city where the land is unclaimed and the undead roam freely in the most concentrated numbers. Here there is no prey and the terrain is mostly dead land, the remains of a large unmaintained park.
Prey:
The food sources vary depending on where you are hunting. If hunting in the city you can expect to catch rats, birds and mice. In the forest surrounding the city you can find squirrels, rabbits, mice, voles and birds.

RP Rules:
All the main forum rules apply
You must be an active member to join, if you have to leave for a period of time let me know first so you don't get removed.

No swearing, the S word, B word, F bomb and everything in between will not be tolerated in this RP
No controlling cats without the owner's consent
No godmodding or powers, no wings, super strength, crazy colored fur, super speed, x-ray vision, ect.
You can be slightly graphic but if it's too much I'll give you a warning
Important Notes:
Cats here can use words like "Crap", "Moron", "Idiot" and "Shoot" as these cats are not the same as the warriors from the books but nothing beyond that or it will be considered swearing and you will be breaking the rules. Other more human words are also accepted. You can't have a half zombie cat that hangs out with the living, the world doesn't work like that. You do NOT need a warrior name, there is no strict naming system in this RP.

Other: She is an incredible fighter (her arsenal includes a "high-flying style" and her attacks are deadly accurate); she is deaf in her right ear; she has found she only likes other she-cats
