Plot

Long ago, when Pirates still ruled the seas, there were two cats. Two brothers to be exact. Tiberius and Cradar. They were very different; Tiberius was wise and quiet, rather thoughtful. Cradar was sly but often said before he thought. They, however, shared one similar love: gold. And how to get it. These two weren't just any cats: they were PIRATES. And damn proud too. Together, they lived on a pirate ship, catching rats and mice to keep their right on the ship to the humans. They helped them time and time again to collect items from other ships. They enjoyed sitting and watching the water. They even loved the rum.

But it wasn't meant to last. One day, the ship stopped at an unknown land to collect some food. The two brothers climbed down from the ship to stretch their tired legs only to find the ship accidentally leaving without them. Both were devastated. But as they met cats on the land, they told them stories about their adventures. About the thrill, about the gold. The rum. The humans. The water and everything else possible. As days turn to weeks without life on the sea, they begun to get more popular with the 'land cats'. Cradar let this get to his head. He begun to make up lies about his brother, causing him to become more popular than Tiberius. Tiberius was confused, blinded by his brother's greed. However, some cats begun to still believe him over Cradar, causing the darker-pelted tom to become outraged. He collected a group of his 'followers' and attacked Tiberius, whom was aided by the cats who disliked Cradar. The battle was viscious and bloody. Some cats died; the remaining cats fled with their leaders. Thus the groups began, creating a tradition of stealing from humans and others and hoarding their treasure. Now, after generations, the two groups still live on today, named after the two brothers.
---------------------------------
However, times are changing. Humans are leaving the island for unknown causes. Treasure is becoming more rare. No ship has docked at the shore. What's worse is that prey is running out. The two groups are beginning to argue over prey and treasure. The Cradars are looking for a fight, and for the first time in over one hundred years, the Tiberiuses aren't backing down.

The groups

The Cradars

Prey: Rabbits, birds (eagles mostly), fish, water-voles, when desperate rats
Personality traits: The Cradars are the darker group. They have a nasty bite and scratch and love to use them. Skilled thieves and spies, they're not to be trusted. A Cradar member normally have a  way with words to charm their way out of trouble, though they love a good fight. They love to swim and will teach kittens at a young age how to.
Pelt colors: Black, dark gray, dark brown, anything dark
Captain: Ragnar
Lieutenant: None

The Tiberiuses

Prey: Birds, squirrels, mice, voles

Personality traits: The Triberiuses are noble but have a bad habit of stealing. Their 'sticky paws' can cause a bit of trouble, but their hearts are as gold as their stolen objects, so it's hard not to forgive them. Stealing aside, they're the more peaceful of the two, often trying to avoid battles, which can be hard, but possible in their eyes. Rarely is a Tiberiuse Member a bad cat.

Character's Quote (optional): -

Character's name: Anubis

Character's Gender: Female

Character's Personality: Anubis is silent and deadly. Yet, at the same time, kind and thoughtful. Anubis barely ever talks. If she does, it is in a faint whisper. While having trouble expressing her emotions, she cares immensely about her own cats, and would give her own life for them. She will often take it on her own if kits need a mentor, willing to take in more at one time. This is to make sure she KNOWS they will survive in battle.

Character's Past: Anubis grew up wealthy and respected. And while she had all of the food she could possibly have in the world, she had always gifted it to other cats who didn't have that advantage. She had always been kind of heart, even when everything turned against her. At one point, she found her way into the Tiberius clan. She used her wealth to help said clan in secret, helping them in any way she could possibly help. When the former leader died, he had appointed her as the new captain, thanks to her great contribution to the survival of the clan.
