Ressurection of the Fikos: Tailchaser's Song Role Play
Introduction:
In the Hour before time began, Meerclar Allmother came out of the darkness to the cold earth. She was black, and as furry as all the world come together to be fur. Meerclar banished the eternal night, and brought forth the two.
Harar the Goldeneye had eyes as hot and bright as the sun at the Hour of Smaller Shadows; he was the color of daytime, and courage, and dancing.
Fela Skydancer, his mate, was beautiful, like freedom, and clouds, and the song of travelers returned.
Goldeneye and Skydancer bore many children and raised them in the forest that covered the world at the beginnings of the Elder Days. Climbfast, Wolf-friend, Treesinger, and Brightnail, their young, were strong of tooth, sharp of eye, light of foot, and straight and brave to their tail-ends.
But most strange and beautiful of all the countless children of Harar and Fela were the three Firstborn.
The eldest of the Firstborn was Viror Whitewind; he was the color of sunlight on snow, and of swiftness....
The middle child was Grizraz Hearteater, as gray as shadows and full of strangeness....
Third-born was Tangaloor Firefoot. He was as black as Meerclar Allmother, but his paws were red like flame. He walked alone, and sang to himself.
There was rivalry among the Firstborn brothers. Whitewind was as fast and strong as a cat could dream of being?none could overmatch him at jumping and running. Firefoot was as clever as time; he solved all puzzles and riddles, and made songs that the Folk sang for generations.
Hearteater could not match his brothers' exploits. He grew jealous, and began to plot the downfall of Whitewind and the humiliation of the Folk.
So it came to pass that Hearteater raised up a great beast against the Folk. Ptomalkum was it's name, and it was the last spawn of the demon-hound Venris, whom Meerclar had destroyed in the Days of Fire. Ptomalkum, raised and nurtured with Hearteater's hatred, slew many Folk before it was itself slain by the gallant Whitewind. But Viror Whitewind received such wounds that he soon wasted and died. Seeing the downfall of his schemes, Hearteater was afraid, and crept down a hole and disappeared into the secretive earth.
There was great lamentation in the Court of Harar at the death of Whitewind, the best-beloved. Firefoot his brother fled the Court in heartache, renouncing his claim to the Mantle of Kingship, and wandered the world.
Fela Skydancer, Whitewind's mother, was ever after silent, all her long life.
But Harar Goldeneye was so full of rage that he wept, and swore great oaths. He went howling into the wilderness, destroying all before him in his search for the traitorous Hearteater. Finally, unable to bear such great pain, he fled to the bosom of the Allmother in the sky. There he still lives, chasing the bright mouse of the sun across the heavens. Often he looks down to earth below, hoping to see Viror running once more beneath the trees of the World-Forest.
Countless seasons turned and the world grew older before Firefoot again met his treacherous brother Hearteater.
In the days of Prince Cleanwhisker, in the reign of Queen Morningstripe, Lord Tangaloor came to the assistance of the Ruhu?, the owl-folk. A mysterious creature had been pillaging their nests, and had killed all the Ruhu hunters who had come against it.
Firefoot laid a trap, clawing away at a mighty tree until it was near cut through, then lay in wait for the marauder.
When the creature came that night, and Firefoot felled the tree, he was astonished to discover that beneath it he had trapped Grizraz Hearteater.
Hearteater begged Firefoot to free him, promising that he would share the ancient lore that he had discovered beneath the ground. Lord Tangaloor only laughed.
When the sun came up, Hearteater began to scream. He writhed and screeched so that Firefoot, although fearing a trick, liberated his suffering brother from beneath the pinioning tree.
Hearteater had been so long beneath the earth that the sun was blinding him. He clawed and rubbed at his steaming eyes, howling so piteously that Firefoot looked about for a way to protect him from the burning of the day-star. But when he turned away, the blinded Hearteater dug himself a tunnel, more swiftly than any badger or mole. By the time the startled Firefoot bounded over, Hearteater had disappeared back into the belly of the world.
It is told that he still lives there, hidden from the eyes of the Folk; that he works foul deeds underground, and aches to return to the World Above....

-The Plot-
After Tailchaser?s adventures, it was thought that the evil Hearteater had been put to rest?but the Folk were wrong. Hearteater survived, but was now only a mere Ka, refusing to flee to the bosom of the Allmother. Though he is bodiless, he can possess others through their hatred. So Folk that had gotten into fights, that had loathed one another, sometimes woke up to find their memory crushed and their enemy slaughtered. At first it was lightly regarded by the Queen, but as it got more serious?kittens murdering other for childish arguments?it was investigated by Prince Fencewalker. He too, was brutally murdered by his own companion, who had gotten into an argument with him. So it continued, the Folk unable to control anger, even small flares, and unwillingly killing their best friends and mates. Finally there were only several small clans left, staying away from each other to prevent further slaughter. But the fate of one of these clans drew so near it could not be ignored?someone would have to go to the Mound. The collapsed mound, where Hearteater had once succeeded, with his distorted and freak spawn, to conjure up the Fikos, terror of all terrors. And even now, with the Fikos put to rest and Hearteater bodiless, it was growing again. For every time Hearteater murdered one of the Folk, there Ka, instead of flittering away to the Allmother, were unceremoniously fed to the Fikos. This is why several young Hunters were chosen from the small clan. A group of travelers who would face dangers not even their worst nightmares could compete with, risking their lives and other?s to save the race of cats.
Are you brave enough?
Alright, that about covers it. Cats don?t speak completely is their tongue, but rather blend it a LITTLE bit with the ?common singing?, a language most creatures know and speak. This would be an average sentence:
?Harar! Did you see that fla-fa?az??
Vowels are pronounced normally, but Cs are pronounces as S, so Meerclar would be Meerslar.
Also, in the case that you use a ?cat word? that is an actual word (Ex: A, meaning to/at/toward, and A, the regular way.), you would italicize it.
Right, more rules:
All cats have a Heart name, and Face name, and a Tail name. A Heart name is the name the cat?s mother gives it, and which they generally keep to themselves. Only family members, mates and close friends can call a cat by their Heart name. A face name is made out of two words, and it is the name that you would regularly call someone. For example, the main character in the actual book Tailchaser?s Song is named Fritti Tailchaser. Fritti is he Heart name, and Tailchaser is his Face name. A cat?s Tail name is a name only that cat can know, and no one else. Most cats do not know their Tail name at birth. In fact, some cats never learn it. But some cats find it, usually on a quest of their life or in a great? something. But most cats have to find it, almost no one knows theirs.
I think that?s about all?.. if you have any questions, just ask. So I?ll go ahead and post the form:
Face Name:
Heart Name:
Age: (compared to human years, not in cats?)
Gender: (Tom for male, Fela for female)
Base Color: (The base color of your fur. Can be multicolored. Includes: Brown, White, Ginger, Grey, Black, and others.)
Markings: (Self-Explanatory, can be any color)
Eye Color: (They?re not ALL yellow!)
Personality:
Other: (Optional, of course.)
I hope you find it interesting? and please, PLEASE join only if you WILL post in a READABLE and MATURE manner. I will ask you to leave if you do not.
