Falling Ashes

Background

 * The year is 2142. Long ago, humans were wiped out by a third world war. Not long after that, much of what would have been a human legacy was destroyed by changing land masses. Almost everything went extinct, except the animals.


 * In particular, cats evolved into the dominant species. No longer small and fragile, the cats evolved into animals bigger than tigers, while still retaining their familiar features. Their life expectancy also grew, with the average death age being around 75. They learned quickly. One group of cats in particular evolved faster than the rest: The Warrior Cats.


 * At first, these cats were nice. They taught the surviving animals well, and soon almost every cat was as advanced as humans were. They lived in their territories, and by 2130, life on Earth was thriving again.


 * Soon, however, corruption spread rampantly. Not only were many leaders violent, they spied on their citizens. They bugged houses, had a secret police, and even encouraged kits to snitch on anyone they heard talking bad about the government. Many cats were living in a state of suppression and fear, even in a society more advanced than humans.


 * As leaders became more violent, war started to occur. By 2137, there were already signs of aggression, as the more powerful countries made small attempts at taking over other countries. This was the warrior legacy. The Cats of the Forest and Lake had created all out warfare, albeit both directly and indirectly.


 * A glimmer of hope was seen though. While the two main powers, Oceania and Esperons, fought over small, weak countries, one territory was thriving: Falling Ashes. Named after both the distinct volcano in the south of its territory and the ashes of war it has witnessed but never experienced, this territory was a utopia for the cats lucky enough to escape the dictatorships from overseas. But, being the perfect society that it is, most never hear of this country, as it too was censored from normal ears.


 * By 2142, the world was at the brink of a fourth World War. With freedom of speech absolutely gone, and with every move being watched, there seemed to be no way someone could rise up against the ever powerful Governments.


 * No one except Sunfrost, that is.
