Starless is a small, unique feline role play forum, created in August of 2008, with an intriguing but flexible plot that allows everyone to be involved. Please, feel free to take a look around. All guests are welcome to use the ooc boards and the chatbox.
Starless is set in a fictional desert. Temperatures are extreme - high during the day and low at night. The majority of the terrain consists of rugged stone with sand and dust coating the surface. Occasional rain leaves puddles for the cats to drink from. The enclosure's walls are built from stone and wood, though the poor craftsmanship resulted in many gaps and cracks, which allow light to reach through. However, these tiny hints of light are not enough for plants to grow, leaving the enclosure even more barren than the desert outside.
It is the dark season. Nights are long. During the day, clouds often cover the sun, making the scarce light even dimmer. Good thing cats can see in the dark.
Characters belong to their individual creators, as specified in the character boards. Warriors concept from the Warriors book series created by Erin Hunter.
