What is a Blood Killer Cat?

In this world, animals, like cats, are as smart as humans. A clan are a group of cats that follow the warriors code: certain set of laws. Bloodclan is a group of bloodthirst thugs that is clan in name only. They only care about power and ignore these set of rules. A Blood Killer Cat is any cat that is old enough to fight. They begin fighting at a young age. The training process is very harsh and a lack of any knowledge on treatment or healing, most trainees very few live long enough into adult.

In the early days, a group of cats gather up together for protection. As an intimidation tactic, they gather dog teeth are create a deadly collar from it. Even back then, the strongest rules them all. After some time later, a cat called Tigerstar arrived to this group. He taught the group some of the fighting methods of the clan. Under his influence, the group gained its name" Bloodclan and become much more ruthless. A few moons later, Tigerstar lead Bloodclan to the four clans and attempted to take over the them in a bloody war. In the bloodiest fight in history, ever single Bloodclan has been stained.

With the Bloodclan dead, it created a power vacuum back where Bloodclan originally was. An Bloodclan exile slowly gather stray cats together to create a new group. The exile took the Bloodclan's name and tradition to maintain the rule by fear. While the new Bloodclan is not nearly as bigger nor as strong as the original Bloodclan, they are still stronger than a normal stray.

At 1st level, you have lived through a traumatizing experience called a blood ritual. Each person's blood ritual is different. Most of the ritual is to scare the victim (like a stupid amount of blood or fight a large creature) to the point that they are numb to pain.
