Hello and welcome to Purrgatory! We are an 18+ Warrior Cat Roleplay set in an AU where the clans were unable to leave the forest territories and perished!
It has been 100 or more years since then, the clans of the forest are but distant memories to any cats still alive, stories passed down to kits of strangely named wild warriors and leaders with nine lives but the time of the clans is upon us once more and the stars shine yet again.

APPEARANCE
Smogmaw is a broad and burly tomcat with thick silver fur that's embroidered by black tabby markings, notably around his midsection and on his profile. His heavy jaw complements the hard line that his brow creates, and from this solid frame peers two amber eyes with a calm intensity. He wears a surly expression in perpertuityβhis brows seemingly fixed in a downward cant, lips bent in an everpresent grimace, and with a voice that is deep yet husky as if constantly fatigued or strained.
β
PERSONALITY
His mannerisms are curt, crude and cobbled together on instinct. To put it nicely, Smogmaw is bluntβhe possesses neither patience nor tolerance for pleasantries, niceties and flowery prose, seeing them as either impediments or irritants to communication. This isn't to say that he is inherently ill-mannered. He can force a smile and speak at length on the day's weather when forced into the act, but he much prefers frankness above filler talk, even though honesty might sting harder than sugar-coating would.
The relationship he has with his mate defines his identity, so much that it would be lost without the bond. Fierce loyalty to her and their family overshadows all else in his life. The passion he has both nurtured and eroded him, uplifting the tom from an aloof-yet-ambitious runaway, to a stalwart protector of his kin. Alas, that same obsession had rendered his empathy brittle, leaving only room in his heart for his own bloodβand what worldly ambitions he once bore withered with time, settling solely on safeguarding what he holds most dear.
β
HISTORY
The early chapters of Smogmaw's life are almost entirely without distinction, and offer little to stand out in the long run. Colony-born to parents who'd seen more Leaf-bares than most, in a litter where half didn't make it past their sixth moon, the tom was left to steer his own course well before the weight of the world began to set in. This imbued him with a sense of self-sufficiency, an ambition to attain control wherever possible - of whatever possible - and to not succumb to the influence of his surroundings. This single-mindedness affected other facets of his identity, such as the breadth of his social circles. In his adolescence, he became isolated and aloof, spending much of his days skulking in others' shadows or trailing on the outskirts of crowds. Only in solitude was freedom assured, he felt, letting his thoughts remain private, locked in a chamber of the skull that no one could trespass upon.
Halfy was his polar opposite. Her unbridled enthusiasm, gregarious attitude, and the positive aura which she seemed to radiate, drew the tom to her. He hadn't anticipated his attraction to such an affable personality, yet her kindness had brought him to a state of ease. Smogmaw began to confide in her, speaking candidly and openly. It wasn't long until his fondness for her transformed into an intense and deeply-rooted love. The tom had never before been exposed to such warmth and sincerity from anyone else in the colony. The two mated, and together bore a litter. And from that moment forward, he knew, every breath that he drew was for them. For his mate, for his kits, for their future together. All other matters were rendered insignificant to Smogmaw, his fixation on protecting his own becoming his sole reason for being.
To him, that's all there ever will be. His lofty ambitions of grandeur and power have since been greatly temperedβyet the drive to attain these remains, albeit in a new form. If environmental circumstances are in such a way that his kin may suffer, then the only option left is to control these circumstances, and ensure their survival.
