The Ringers are a group formed ages ago by a cat named Husk, who is the grandfather of their current leader, Coyote ( β
iamhobbit ). This group has maintained itself for years by scavenging their resources and stealing cats to fight for the Ring. The Ring is run and owned by Two-legs, and Coyote is the cat who compromises with them. The Ringers provide them cats to fight for their entertainment, and the Twolegs give them things like food and water. Over the time since they were first established and created, ranks have been made and distributed for their hierarchy to keep things running smoothly. They do have a harem for breeding purposes. While this group is not particularly considered a savage group, they do kidnap cats from clans to fight in their Ring and possibly join their ranks. Those who do not obey face the consequences of being executed. These cats are hardened soldiers, and only the tough survive.
This group resides in the town in an abandoned warehouse where these Two-legs host the fights, and Kittypets are often told stories to never wander there, for they will be taken and imprisoned. Those who try to fight this group often more than not will perish. Do not take them lightly, as they are not for the faint of heart.
So, will you join our ranks... Or will you die like the rest of them?

As you probably assumed, we're now accepting applications for new members of the Ring! We are accepting unlimited numbers of Fighters, Scavengers and Novices, though 'higher' ranks must be auditioned for, which you can do HERE.
Dont hesitate to pop up to me, β
iamhobbit or pine if you have any other questions! If you're making an application for a Ringer character, it would be appreciated if you could post their application here along with the desired rank (Fighter, Scavenger, or Novice, unless you've auditioned and earned a higher rank!) just so we can keep tabs on everything (: Thank you and happy roleplaying!
