"There's nothing that I'd take back
But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret
Cause when I sing, you shout
I breathe out loud
You bleed, we crawl like animals
But when it's over, I'm still awake"
~Of Monsters & Men, Silhouettes
Do you remember when man ruled the Earth?
Do you remember when he thought he owned us? Do you
remember when the world became desolate? When the
world was nothing more than smoke and ash?
Of course you don't. It's hard to believe there was ever a
time when we were owned by an inferior race. It's even
difficult to picture this land as smoke and ash, well... maybe
not that difficult. We all remember the wars. As hard as it is
to believe, we were once all weaklings. We were what man
called "manhandled" and "easily thrown around" or
"walked all over."
But we have-what man called-evolved since then. We are not
much bigger then the cats of the Dark Ages, and a certain
percentage of us have wings. As you know well, some of us
lucky ones are members of the Mask. Perhaps you dream of
becoming one of those elite felines one day? I know I once did.

Setting
Earth has now become a land of few continents,
many large islands-both in the sea and sky-and floating cities
in the clouds. Much of the islands and continents have jungles
and forests of all sorts, as well as deserts. There are non-winged
cats who ride trains on land and special trains underwater to
get to their destinations. In order for non-winged cats to access
floating islands they have to take carriages pulled by winged
horses. There are small temples that can be found in the
floating cities. The largest temple can be found by itself
hidden in the far reaches of the sky. This temple is where the
Masked reside.

Religion
Like the cats from the Dark Ages, these cats respect
and look for advice from the cats who died long ago. Now,
cat gods are a part of feline religion.

Masked
The Masked consist of winged cats wearing
masks, hence their name. However, these felines are not the
snobby, uptight cats strutting around acting like their more
important than everyone else that one could suspect. They
are elite felines with the best of fighting skills, their masks
grant them a single ability. Some say, that the highest
ranking cats have connections with the gods. The Masked are
deeply feared and respected, these cats are only called into
battle for serious situations.
