• Purrgatory is officially open and like many openings we expect to come across a little bit of scuff here and there, thanks for your patience with us and let us know if you find anything or have questions! Why not drop into the Arrival and Farewells channel to say hi!
  • Don't forget that when you adopt a character you must still go through the process of CHECKING THEM IN just to ensure they still fit the site criteria!

Rat's Littermates - Colony Adopts
-

In a place far past the moonstone once known by the clans lived a traveling group of loners - not a true colony in any sense, but instead a nomadic group of cas who all had their own beliefs, values, and idea of 'rules', but worked together to survive in a land far harsher then the forest territories. Unfortunately for one such family, as a she-cat found herself pregnant with kits from an unknown tom, misfortune seemed to dog every paw step they took. Storms, predators, famine, illness - by the time the litter was born, the idea seemed near unanimous amongst the travelers - surely, the litter must be cursed, for so many tragedies to have occurred after their conception. With misfortune only continuing as moons passed, it isn't long until they are left behind in the dead of night - the fact they are fully weaned and able to eat prey the only kindness their mother spares them before their abandonment. Left to fend for themselves, they eventually make their way to the birthplace of the clans, settling amidst strangers right before the impending conflict.

Rules.
These "kits" are young adults, at 18 months old and will age realtime each month.
It is up to you as the adoptee if these characters stayed with Rat, with eachother, or split up entirely to fend for themselves. regardless, they will all end up in the colony prior to the split.
for the first three moons of their lives these ktis were repeatedly shunned by their 'colony mates' and even held at a distance from their mother, told that they were cursed, and emotionally and physically neglected. this would have impacted them in some way, though if they still continue to believe they are cursed or have outgrown such superstition is up to you.
This litter was left unnamed at birth. they may have given eachother names, picked their own, or been given one long after leaving the nomadic group. Because of this, there is no theme or requirements beyond checking legality. Rat personally was given her name by a kind but grouchy barn cat NPC for her bedraggled appearance very recently.
While not fully completed, Rat's bio can be found here for reference​

Genetics.
kits can be any realistic color/pattern
kits must be shorthaired
kits have oriental heritage from their unknown father, and may show body traits from this
kits would've been born fever coated​

Is this still open?? Considering taking my boy Moth, from an old RP, and turning him into a littermate.
 
okay, here's my pitch!! \(≧▽≦\)

Moth is a scrawny, fever coated tuxedo tom with sunbleaching on his back and gold eyes. he named himself after a wolly bear caterpillar, which become moths as adults, but other cats have stated it's because he's 'as fragile as a bug'

Although he lacks most of the physical scars that his sister has, he still bears long-lasting damage from his kithood. He can be kinda volatile - lashing out at others at times of stress. Despite this, he's still a complete pushover, and tends to backpedal and cower away as soon as he's called out on being a bit of an ass.

Even though he was abandoned, he still remains a devout mama's boy - he's convinced that, if he stays in the forest where they were left, his mother will realize how wrong she was to leave him, and return to take him back. As a kit, he was desperate for any scrap of affection from her and, even as an now he's a total suck-up whenever people are nice to him.


So basically hes a pathetic wet sack of a cat. I imagine his relationship with Rat is Not Great, possible even acting hostile and distant towards her.

Accepted! Make sure to check moth in before starting but everything looks good on my end!
