Left Behind: Survival Roleplay INTRODUCTION (READ. THIS CONTAINS THE BACKSTORY) It all started as a peaceful day for the cats living in the jungle, or in a small village. The weather was nice and summery, hot and breezy. Trees lush in greenery scraped the beautiful, nearly cloudless, blue sky. Not too far away, the jungle cleared out and reached a beach. It was a small beach, but it was beautiful all the same. Thousands of white sands grained the floor, and the ocean blue water splashed at the shore with gentle waves.
Then, the following night, everything changed. The humans in the area came out with several cages and stuffed cats into each one of them. This was very strange and terrifying for them, since the humans had never shown any signs of doing this behavior before. What could have possibly turned them off? Had they decided they didn’t want cats anymore? What were they even doing with then? Several questions like that ran through the heads of the cats being caged, but they were left unanswered. The cats were left as clueless as they were about the event happening.
Later, the cats were loaded onto this huge human monster that floated on water. This only left the cats even more petrified. Not only were they suddenly picked up from their homes, but now they were being put on something they all feared and did all they could to steer clear of them.
After more time passed, they started moving across the water. They could hear the loud buzz-humming noise that came from the motor of the monster. Water splashed against the sides of the boat, and as they traveled further, the ride became bumpier. The traveling lasted for what seemed like miles and miles.
Another day had passed, and it was nightfall again. It was late enough to where most cats had managed to fall asleep, despite the horror that was happening. No sense in trying to stay awake. It would be pointless, since there was nothing they could do to get out of the cages.
Suddenly, all the cats were awoken to sounds of large splash noises. Anyone would have thought that nothing else could happen to worsen the situation, but that is what happened. The humans on the ship began picking up the box-like cages and dumping them into the water. Before they realized it, all the cages were in the ocean, and the humans left. They were soon nowhere in sight.
Now, the cats were floating atop the water in their cages. They wouldn’t be floating too long, though. This was the only hint of luck they would be getting for a while. Land happened to be not too far away, and they happened to be floating in that direction.
Soon enough, by morning, the cats had reached the shore, or close to it. Several cage doors had come loose on the impact of being tossed into the water, so some cats were able to escape and swim to shore.
The cats were still unsure of what had happened or why, but they knew one thing. They were never going to return to their former home ever again. That “home” seemed millions of miles away, and there was no way back. The only thing they could do now was work together to get the other cats to shore, and then work to survive. Can they make it on this deserted place?
OVERVIEW OF TERRITORY:
The territory where the cats were dropped off is quite a change compared to what they left behind. It is a rather large island with a jungle in the center, and the rest of it beach. In other words, the jungle comes out on a beach on all sides. White sand covers the beach areas for miles, miles, and miles, and the ocean meets it several yards from the jungle line. Mountains can be viewed in the distance when looking ahead of the ocean, but the mountains are probably a thousand miles away.
The island is a tropical island, so all the vegetation is tropical. Palm trees line against the borders of the beach and jungle. Deeper inside the forest, there's a bit more variety. Live oaks, eucalyptus, and figs are only a few types of trees that grow. Fruit trees are quite common as well, any types from bananas to mangoes to citrus fruits. Along the floor of the forest lies some herbal plants such as comfrey, mint, rosemary, and thyme grow.
If it weren't obvious, the cats who just arrived are not the only animals that live there. Animals such as mice, rabbits, several birds, reptiles, and fish can serve as prey. However, where there are prey animals, there are also predators. There are big cats such as jaguars, large birds such as hawks, and snakes to be on the look out for. Any of these predators would be no good to the new arrival cats.
As for climate, weather depends on the season. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are cold and mild. The area gets a generous amount of precipitation throughout the year, though it is mostly rain. Snow is not very common, considering the location.
PLACES IN TERRITORY:
Flower Falls - a grassy area that is lightly shaded from the sun. In this location, there is a small river. Somewhere upstream, there is a waterfall that comes over a cliff. The river is mostly shallow, but it has deeper spots here and there. This river is one of the few locations on the island that offers freshwater. There is also a plentiful supply of herbs there, such as dandelion, feverfew, mint, and some other common ones.
CAMP: For now, the tribe of cats will sleep on the beach. There hasn’t been any time to do much of anything. This section will also be added to as the story progresses.
ROLES:(currently not in effect) Leader: the cat with this role is the cat everyone sees "in charge" of the group. This cat ultimately makes all the big decisions when it comes to anything major that might occur. Cats also look up to this cat to make sure everything in the group is taken care of, that is making sure no one goes hungry and that everyone is safe.
Leader's Assistant: this cat offers assistance to the leader. They help make the decisions, help organize patrols, etc. They also help in all areas. This cat really doesn't have a specific role. To qualify for this rank, a cat must be good at hunting, fighting, and making rational decisions. If the leader dies, the Leader's assistant will become the leader.
Medic: the Medic is the cat who is familiar with all things related to healing. They are familiar with herbs, and they know how to use them. This cat looks after the tribe members, ensuring everyone is healthy.
Medic Assistants: Medic assistants help the Medic do their job. They can sometimes be seen as "medic apprentices" because by helping the Medic, they are gaining knowledge necessary to care for the tribe. If the Medic dies, then the eldest Medic Assistant will move up to be the main Medic.
Hunters: the Hunters are responsible for bringing food back for the tribe. They sometimes help with scouting, but their main job is hunting for food and making sure no one goes hungry.
Scouts: Scouts are the cats in charge of exploring the territory. They mark the borders, stay alert in case there is danger, etc. If anything seems off, the scouts are to immediately report it back to the Leader.
Queens: Queens are cats who are either expecting kittens or caring for kittens. Some cats may choose raising kittens as their main job in the tribe. They keep the kittens safe, fed, entertained, etc.
Trainees: Trainees are younger cats who have not yet decided what they want to do. Trainees will spend time with cats in all the different roles and learn about them all. They will spend equal time doing all of them. Then, when they are old enough, they will decide what they want to do. Hunters and Scouts are always needed, so those are the roles that most of them will take. Queens will be needed depending on the number of kittens there are, and of more help is needed in that area. Same thing goes with Medic Assistants.
Kittens: Kittens are kittens, obviously. They are too young to really do much for the tribe, so their time is mostly spent playing, and they are not allowed to leave the camp. When kittens are six months old, they are old enough to become a Trainee.
RULES: 1. All forum rules apply. 2. This RP is a cat RP, but it isn't warrior cats. 3. No huge plot changes without permission 4. Realistic appearances, please 5. Try to be active. Let me know if you'll be absent for a while. 6. If you read the rules, the password is “Left Behind” 7. No one-liner posts. At least 2-3 sentences are preferred 8. Don’t kill or injure anyone else’s character without permission
Current Plot: This may seem incomplete, but that’s because the story is only just beginning, outside of the backstory. These cats may or may not be familiar with one another. The plot starts with the cats landing on the shore of the new place.
It is still night time, so not much can be done for now. The best thing to do would be to wait until daylight to explore. It’s not safe to explore an unknown area at night. These cats haven’t decided this yet, though.

Allegiances Orion: Orion is primarily a white cat. He has patches that contain streaks of gray and brown with black stripes that cover the top of his head, shoulders, and flank. His nose is a bright pink, with two small splashes of gray along the top, His eyes are a bright green color. He has no vision in his left eye, and since it has become a filmy, dull gray-blue color. He is 7 years old.
Orion is a rather calm cat. He is often referred to as the "peacekeeper." He tends to shy away from conflict, instead attempting to resolve whatever the issue is. Although he can seem standoffish at times, it is more likely that he is just unaware of how to contribute to the conversation. With an observant eye and a quick-thinking mind, he typically does not run into much trouble. (Kittensmew ) Picture of Orion:
Paxton: Paxton is a light brown Maine coon with dark brown, large stripes on his back, and his fluffy tail is dark brown. He has fur on his head that appears to look like some sort of symbol. He has small, black ear tufts and enchanting yellow eyes. His chest, underbelly, and paws are white. He is 5 years old.
Paxton is simply nice. He doesn't look for fights, but instead focues on surviving and making friends to work with in order to achieve common goals. He doesn't put up with arrogance, and will quickly shut down someone who is foolish. (Shortee ) Picture of Paxton:
Domino: Domino is a bulky tom cat with large build. He is long-haired and very fluffy. Most of his fur is white, but he has black spots on his back, black ears, and a black tail. He is a former house cat, so he wears a blue collar around his neck, which he hates. He has yellow eyes. He is 4 years old.
Domino has an introverted personality, especially when he first meets someone. When he meets strangers, he is very skittish and will often hide from them. He doesn't mean to come off as rude by this or anything. He's just cautious and wants to make sure that whoever he meets is not going to hurt him. He doesn't want to be in any danger.
When he finally warms up to others, he is generally friendly. He is easy to talk to and makes a good friend. However, he can be annoying and sassy at times. This may happen when he is in a bad mood such as when he is stressed or worried about something, or if he is angry for whatever reason. With this being said, he will sometimes get on the nerves of others.
Domino dislikes change a lot. When a big change takes place in his life, he takes a while to adjust. This may cause him to be moodier than usual or more often. When he finally does settle, he will seem much more like himself and relaxed. (🌿 ~ Spottedleaf ~ 🌿 ) Picture of Domino:
Sorrel: Sorrel is a soft she-cat with a base of white fur with orange and black markings painted on. She notably has a rhombus shape above her nose and bright green eyes. Around her left eye there is black fur that reaches the base of her left ear and the fur of her right ear, while the fur around her right eye is orange. She is 3 years old.
Sorrel is goofy and flirty, always trying to have a smile on her face. She's pretty much friendly, but if you mess with her or her friends, watch out. She's brave, but some may confuse that with stupidity. Sorrel would rather use her claws in an argument instead of her tongue. (Shortee) Picture of Sorrel:
Ghost: Ghost is a pretty average-sized she-cat with long black and silver fur. The fur around her neck is silver and resembles a mane. Her eyes are a striking yellow. 2 years old.
Ghost is a bit quiet but friendly. She is very sensible and prefers peace over war, though she will claw any cat that dares to threaten anyone she cares about. She's very observant and curious, wanting to become a scout after her queen duties are over with. (xSourGrapesx) Picture of Ghost:
Flicker: Flicker is a young, lean tom with a darker orange pelt and a mackerel tabby design. His fur is short, which is perfect to withstand heat, not to mention that it doesn't get dirty easily. The only part of his fur that isn't orange is his chest, which has a white marking that looks almost v-shaped. To top everything off, Flicker has forest green eyes that stand out against his fur. He is 2 years old.
Flicker is a very curious cat, whose curiosity sometimes causes him to get into bad situations. He's got a lot of energy which he likes to use up, so it isn't uncommon for him to do tasks for others, or to run around a lot if nobody wants to play. Still, despite that he does have a calmer side, which shows most clearly when there's something bad going on. Flicker is an approachable and friendly cat, who would try anything to cheer somebody up. He likes goofing around and making others smile. While he has good intentions, it does sometimes cause him to be seen as annoying. (Citrine)
Acadia: Acadia is a short she-cat with a small build. She has golden orange fur that shines in the sunlight. Her eyes can seem almost distant at a glance, but as soon as she starts talking, they light right up. She is 2 years old.
Acadia has lived alone and struggled all of her life, so coming to the island has actually been positive to her. Due to living alone, she has no real sense of communication. Therefore, she can't really tell when people get annoyed or ticked off with her. She has no real sense of danger, meaning she will sometimes run out of camp and go exploring for three days without telling anybody. Due to having a boring life before everything that happened, she has been pretty positive about coming to the island, which can be slightly off putting to those who were just torn away from the rest of their families. (blossomspirit) Picture of Breeze:
Breeze: Breeze is a gray she-cat with medium length fur and blue eyes. She is 2 years old.
Breeze is very introverted and stays quiet and calm when possible. She lacks self-confidence and tends to not speak up. Once you get to know her better, Breeze becomes more open and friendly, but she can sometimes be annoying and rude. She hates phyiscal fighting, and she tries her best to talk her way out of bad situations. Breeze isn't exceedingly good or bad at any skill, but she enjoys foraging. (Catsquid ) Picture of Breeze:
Shatter: a very small and fluffy, light-colored tortoiseshell with dull green eyes. She is 1 and a half years old.
Shatter is defensive and mysterious, often keeping to herself unless she's needed. She is good at fishing and sneaking. However, because of her small size, she is bad at fighting. (DragonForest ) Picture of Shatter:
Bat: Bat is a fluffy cat with a red pelt so dark that it looks black. She has black patches on her back, a small cream patch on her chin and very large ears. She is about half the size of the average cat. 7 months old.
Bat is an innocent and happy ball of hyperactive fluff with a little bit of prankster in her. She adores swimming and fishing, and she knows her way around herbs and loves experimenting with poisons that are not lethal. (TheMysticHeart)
Napoleon: Napoleon is a bright ginger kitten with a white chest, underbelly, and paws. He has amber eyes. He is 5 months old.
Napoleon is adventurous and fun loving, but also stubborn and a risk taker. He loves to take challenges and is energetic and over confident. (anawarrior)
Natives: Amara: Amara is a long-furred tabby she-cat with mostly white fur. She is 4 years old.
Amara is very sweet and kind. It has been a long time since she has seen anyone other than her mate and kittens, so she is very social yet still wary of strangers. She can be very loud, but nonetheless is great at hunting. She hates fighting but will defend herself if necessary. (DragonForest ) Picture of Amara:
Thunder: Thunder is a young tom with average-length fur. He is mostly white with black stripes and piercing yellow eyes. He is 10 months old.
Thunder is very outgoing and extroverted. He is careless about most things that don't interest or concern him. However, he strongly defends things he cares about. Thunder tries to be superior, and he doesn't want Amara to think he is acting like a kitten. Thunder is very intelligent and knows when to be serious. (Catsquid ) Picture of Thunder:
Aster: Aster is a small-framed tom. His thick-fur is mostly light gray with faint tabby stripes, but he also has white paws, white chest, and white markings in various areas. Aster has small curved ears, a dark-gray colored nose, and long whisker. His eyes are light green. He is 10 months old.
Aster is an energetic ball of energy who loves to play and have fun. When meeting new cats, he is very accepting and friendly. He might even be too accepting and friendly at times. With him, Aster just wants to always be kind and never rude, and he never wants to make anyone feel that they are not welcome. While that is a very positive trait to have, it can also lead to negative consequences. If Aster is not careful, it can easily lead to him getting taken advantage of.
Although Aster might be too quick to trust, and he may not always think before he acts, but he is not entirely stupid. He knows when to trust his instincts. In other words, he knows when to take things seriously, particularly when he senses that danger is near. Therefore, he is not overly carefree or reckless.
Aster is curious, adventurous, and brave. This kind of goes hand-in-hand with him still being quite young, but he will probably always have these traits in some form. He loves to explore and discover new things. Sometimes, his curiosity and adventurousness can get carried away from him, however. At night, he likes to sneak away and explore the island. He is even pretty good at talking his brother Thunder into coming along with him. Of course, sneaking away at night is not the smartest thing to do, especially at their young age. However, given his brave personality, that never stops him.
The light gray tabby is still a kitten, so he is still learning the ways of the wild. However, he is quickly learning how to identify certain herbs that grow around the island and he knows what some of them are used for. Additionally, he is a decent hunter, but only when he has the patience to wait for the right moment to pounce. Because of Aster's possibly overly-friendliness, he strongly despises fighting. Nonetheless, he will fight if he has to, and he knows enough defensive moves to get away from an attacker if necessary. (🌿 ~ Spottedleaf ~ 🌿) Picture of Aster:

Can I join?
Username: Dawnstar
Character's Name: Blade
Appearance: Blade has a fluffy gray coat and stormy amber eyes. He is bigger than most cats, tall and imposing, with long claws and strong limbs.
Personality: Blade is reserved and prefers to wait for the best opportunity before he strikes (often getting impatient with those who act without thinking), which makes him seem like he isn't ambitious, but he really is. He also often gets jealous of those who he deems irresponsible but who are more liked than him. He is also caring and gentle -- though he almost never shows it. His ambition sometimes drives him to do things he shouldn't, but he'd never stoop to something that harms another cat. During arguments, he never uses his claws unless he is truly angry, much preferring to sort things out with his words or just leave them be.
Age: Two years
Password: Left Behind
Miscellaneous: Blade often misses out on fun things with his friends, due to work or just being considered no fun and not being invited, and he actually regrets this.

(Accepted! I've added everyone's characters. I will start)
It was dusk when Domino opened his eyes. He opened his eyes to find that he was not on that monstrous thing that brought him here anymore. In fact, that thing was nowhere to be seen. However, he also noticed that he wasn't on land either. He felt himself bobbing up and down while inside the metal cage he was in. He was in the ocean. Eyes widened, he looked around to see many other cages floating in the water as well. What had happened to them?
