Breed Information: The Ocicat is a very outgoing breed and are also very friendly. They will typically march straight up to strangers and announce that they'd like to be petted. This makes them great family pets, and most can also get along well with animals of other species, although they are likely to assert their dominance over all involved.

History
JiYong was raised by an artistically-inclined gay Korean couple in Tokyo, Japan. Pampered and spoiled as all hell, JiYong also befriended and mated with the neighbor cat, Tempo. When Tempo disappeared and JiYong heard the family had booted him, the blonde willingly left his family in search of his mate...but not until after peeing all over the neighbor's flowers and garden.
After almost a year of searching, JiYong finally met up with his long-lost mate in a club in Ikebukuro. After finding one another, he and Tempo had a litter of six with the help of their surrogate, Leila. Shortly after the litter was born, however, disaster struck; the kittens were taken by humans and held captive as test subjects in the ever-mysterious Facility. After JiYong and Tempo saved the kittens with the help of several other cats from a few neighboring territories, JiYong was then attacked and abducted by a few local kids.
JiYong spent a month housed in a milk crate and used as a sick torture victim for the kids. Burned, shaved, stabbed, starved and dehydrated, JiYong managed to escape when he bit one of the kid's hands and squeezed under the fence.
Shortly after, JiYong and Tempo had another litter surrogated by JiYong's best friend ChaeRin. However, disaster struck yet again as ChaeRin was capture and taken to the Facility, passing away inside due to the tests done on her. The litter survived, however, and Tempo and JiYong managed to get them out - but at the cost of Tempo being caught.
After that, he raised the second litter with the help of his older kittens and the neighboring territory University. When the Facility was destroyed and Tempo was released, JiYong was granted some mental stability - but is still incredibly mentally unstable and paranoid.

Breed Information: The Manx cat is a highly intelligent breed of cats. They are very playful and can have bizarre behavior and can sometimes seem like a dog’s behavior. Some Manx cats, for instance, will fetch small objects like a dog when they are thrown. Manx cats love humans and are seen as a “social feline.”

History
Remy was given as a birthday gift to a little girl. The only problem with that set-up was that the parents of the girl had their own cat, who was older and rather territorial. The older cat was cordial to Remy, but didn't allow the tiny manx to touch his things. One day Remy made the mistake of drinking from the older cat's bowl. After the cat had had enough and physically showed him what was what, Remy ran away with a wounded face and ego. He never looked back.
Since then, Remy has learned to fend for himself. He's quite adept at foraging for berries and dumpster diving, but is pretty awful at everything else. Being tiny and declawed tends to not be helpful out in the wild. At one point, both things worked against him as he managed to get stuck up in a tree while looking for fruit.
That's when he began to befriend another large stray named Kaikara. Grumpy and moody, she wasn't the nicest feline in town but Remy made it his own personal mission to make her smile at least once a day...which sometimes backfired. But since then they've accepted each other as mates, as awkward as they may seem.

Decollaring: Remy had lived with an older cat that didn't really get along with him. After he had been shunned from just about everything in the house, he made the mistake of drinking from the cat's bowl--and paid the price.

While he made his escape the older cat tried to get a bit more payback for him touching something that belonged to him--and grabbed onto his collar instead of his neck, trying to bite, scratch, anything that would get his point across. Remy, in his panic, thrashed and fought back as best he could...his collar ended up getting ripped off, and he paid for his mistake with scars to his face and the memories that some cats weren't as friendly as he might want them to be.

Himalayans are sweet-tempered, intelligent and generally very social and good companions. Because of their heritage from the Siamese cats they tend to be more active than Persians.

History
HyunSoon was one of four boys born in JiYong and Leila's litter. Like his siblings, he was taken away by the humans to be used as a test subject in The Facility for reasons unknown. HyunSoon was also one of three who made it to Level Three testing.
The effects of the testing have all been psychological - he can't look a person in the eye. He has what could be called a type of OCD where he is always thinking about death. Imagining a person's death and various ways the simplest object can be used to kill a person is always plaguing his thoughts, so he tends to mostly stray away from people, and specifically groups.
After months of staying away from other cats and making himself miserable, HyunSoon finally met a girl - who he could look at and touch without envisioning her death. Cheshire was a little odd, a little crazy, but maybe that's what brought them together. They grew close and have since become rather awkward mates.

Decollaring:
The weight around his neck was infuriating. Absolutely infuriating. It reminded him of bright lights and loud beeps and painpainpain and headaches from hell and he wanted it gone. He had seen some of his siblings walking around without theirs, but he just couldn't ask them.
So now here he sat, alone i nthe middle of the night, staring at himself in the lake and trying to think of a way, any way to get the damn thing off. He had tried pulling, but either he was just physically weak or the plastic was strong, because that had just resulted in his neck bleeding and his breathing weird. Turning his head this way and that, HyunSoon frowned shifted, his eye twitching lightly, one ear folding down while the other perked. "Maybe a rock..." Maybe.
Padding around the lake and even through the shallow parts, HyunSoon finally found a rather pointy-looking rock and dried it off on his fur. Pressing it to his collar, HyunSoon's arms trembled as he began to saw away at the plastic piece of s**t, wincing as the collar cut into the wounds it had inflicted before.
Almost tired, almost giving up, HyunSoon continued to hack away...until it was gone. With a soft 'snap' and the rock flying from his hands back into the water, HyunSoon looked down and saw the piece of blood-stained white and blue plastic lying on the grass, and not around his neck.
Letting out a soft purr of approval, HyunSoon kicked the thing into the water before turning and starting back home, his eye and tail twitching out of happiness.

History
MiSun was the youngest of the girls born in JiYong and Leila's litter. She was whisked away with her siblings to The Facility, in which she went through several grueling and arduous tests and experiments, purpose unknown. She failed at Level Two testing, which ended in her losing her ability to hear.
Once she was rescued from The Facility, MiSun has opened up little by little, but is still rather skittish and dependent on her family. She's a deaf mute, but is slowly learning to speak and can read lips rather quickly, along with feel vibrations from things like music. MiSun is very close to her brother SunBae and tends to rely on him for things.
She tends to keep mostly to the dorms that her territory is in, but once in a while manages to sneak out to meet up with Belial, who is a cat from a neighboring territory. Although she can't hear him and sometimes can't even understand what he's trying to say, MiSun and he have grown close enough for her to develop a crush.

Decollaring:
The light still hurt her eyes in the morning. She wasn't used to the sunlight, to the brightness and the intensity of it, especially when it was so close and bright. She was used to fluorescent, used to dim, used to whitewashed walls and silver bars. She knew she shouldn't be running around on her own, especially when the rest of her family was sleeping, but she kept having nightmares and couldn't stay in that room much longer. The shadows were starting to claw at her paws, and she didn't like it.
Padding through the grass, she flattened her ears slightly as she felt the crunch of a leaf but didn't hear it. Sitting down in the grass, she stared forlornly at the crumpled brown thing and sighed (which she also couldn't hear). Why them? Why did it have to be them? Why couldn't it have been someone else?
How selfish of her.
Standing and turning to go back home and try and get some more sleep, MiSun padded through the grass...only to feel like she was being watched. Turning to look over her shoulder, tail flicking nervously, she swallowed and sped up her steps until she was running.
The hawk came out of nowhere.
She was sure if she had had her hearing, she would've heard the beat of his wings, would've heard the screech as it swooped down and caught her ID band with it's talons. Letting out a screech she couldn't hear, MiSun wriggled and kicked, digging her claws into the underbelly of the large bird and was promptly dropped, her collar snapping from her neck.
She didn't wait to see if the hawk would come back, just ran and ran and ran and didn't look back, missing the sound of her footsteps on the grass.

Breed Information: Norwegian Forest Cats are an intelligent, robust and playful breed. They like the outdoors, are well suited to cold conditions and are great hunters. They are not easily stressed and are quite patient. They appreciate high vantage points and enjoy climbing trees, or, if they are indoor cats, climbing on appliances, bookshelves and other elevated surfaces in the home.
The Ocicat is a very outgoing breed and are also very friendly. They will typically march straight up to strangers and announce that they'd like to be petted. This makes them great family pets, and most can also get along well with animals of other species, although they are likely to assert their dominance over all involved.

History
Mihi was part of Tempo's litter, born in the Facility. He doesn't remember much about being in there, only bits and pieces; his mother's smile, the light, being cold, and then Jiyong carrying him home with his brothers and sister. He also doesn't remember Tempo at all, which frustrates him. What frustrates him more, however, is Jiyong and how he handles things.
Being cooped up in the dorms isn't his idea of a good time, and he is constantly rebelling and sneaking outside to play, even if it is by himself.
Mihi has an intense case of ADHD, either from the testing done on his mother while pregnant, or just from his mother's genes they're not sure. He also has a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth; whatever goes through his brain, he says. He's compulsive and loud and hard to get used to.
Since coming back from the Facility, Mihi has mostly run around making trouble for his family and the rest of the territory. Enough so that even when he's grown, his father still sets him babysitters for all hours of the day - mostly his brothers and sisters. Since he also managed to befriend another mischevious kitten from the territory named Jae, they've wreaked havoc on Mihi's poor family. Incidents ranging from setting things on fire to pushing his siblings out of windows have happened, and then he wonders why no one likes him.
Mihi is also not a fan of either of his dads - Jiyong because of how crazy and protective he's become, and Tempo because of...well. He's not even really sure, but he hates him. Mihi also loathes gays, which may feed into the hatred of his fathers.
However, despite his intense hatred, Mihi has slowly developed a more than friends relationship with his best friend Jae.

Decollaring:
The day had been so boring. All his siblings were busy doing whatever it was they did, his dad was off somewhere, and Jae was busy with his family. Pouting and sitting in the doorway of his dad's room and staring out into the hallway, he sighed and flicked his tail back and forth irritably.
So boooored.
Standing and padding out into the hallway, he did a circle before huffing. Screw his dad and his stupid rules. Bouncing down the hallway eagerly, he burst out into the sunshine and squealed, rolling through the grass eagerly. God his dad needed to grow a pair or something, he hated being cooped up all the time. Hell all of them did, and he was always hearing SunBae complaining about babysitting them. They were old enough to watch themselves! Rolling along in the grass, he paused before standing and running up a pile of rocks, jumping off with a war cry and rolling again. So nice~
Jumping up and moving around to run up the rocks again, he opened his mouth to shout - when his foot caught on a rock jutting out and down he went, tumbling over the edge and for a second all he could see was the grass and rocks rushing up to have a private meeting with his face - until he couldn't breath. Kicking his lower legs, he coughed and reached his paws up, finding his collar had caught on a tree branch.
He was going to die like this, wasn't he?
Uselessly kicking his legs and letting out loud wails, he tried to reach the rocks or the tree branch but they were too far away. Well...at least he hadn't gotten old right?
And thent there was a snap and his butt was on the ground.
Staring up at the tree branch in confusion, his vision slightly blurry from lack of air, he blinked as his collar fell from the tree branch and landed next to him, snapped clean in half.
Staring at the blue and silver piece of plastic, Mihi slowly frowned...and stomped on it, kicking it away angrily.
Good riddance.
