Infinite Losers: Because nobody wins all the time
Rules:

1- No godmodding without permission!
2- Please be somewhat literate. I'm terrible at reading any type of txt talk.
3- Please limit chat to game-related matters. any out-of-character (OOC) should be placed within a double parenthesis/bracket/whatever. Like this: (()) [[]] etc. Regular chat can go to the half-pint thread.
4- I will not restrict the length of posts, but please do not make them pointless. I appreciate at least a little bit of detail and/or plot development. I understand people have off days and such. I can be a little lenient on this one.
5- Romance will be allowed, but keep it PG13. I can understand dancing around the line, but going over will be met first with warnings and, if disregarded, removal from the RP. If you really want to do that type of thing you can take it elsewhere. There's nothing saying you can't take bits and peices of the story outside this thread as long as they're not common knowledge. wink
6- The goal of this thread is to have fun telling an awesome story. There are no "winners" here. That's why I chose that name for the thread. Remember: all of the really awesome heroes tend to get their butt kicked about half a dozen times before they actually win. If you focus on making a story, everyone will have a better time for it.

Story:

Quote:
The story of how things got this way is a bit complicated. I suppose it all started with the aliens, but then, everyone blames the aliens. I mean, they did try to invade the earth, but that's not the only thing that made things so crazy. We humans had alot to do with it, too. Alright, here's how it happened:
You see, the earth doesn't like crazy alien invasions. It likes it alot less than the people being invaded do. Fortunately it has its own defenses against invasions, not unlike us humans. :] You know, there are all kinds of unspoken laws about behavior of animals and intelligent life all around us. Most of us know these things by pure instinct. Things like respect for the dead, for instance. It's not like the dead have any say about it, people just respect them. Well, the aliens didn't know any of these rules, so they tended to break alot of them. These transgressions were not without consequence.
I guess the first thing to show up was the undead. Yeah, those walking corpses and such. Most of those weren't too bad. Just zombies mostly. Sure they caused a bit of havoc at first, but once people started packing blunt instruments and beating zombies to a pulp on sight, they became only a minor problem. No, the real problems is when the other things started showing up. Well, first it was the werewolves and vampires. By that time, some people were turning up with magic powers. Then the dragons started waking up. Shortly after that things started getting a little crazy, what with demon and angel summonings and ghosts and goblins all over, trolls and fairies in the woods, magical constructions going haywire, etc. The aliens had a harder time than we did. After all, we already knew all about dragons, zombies, werewolves, sorcerors, etc. They didn't have a clue what they were dealing with. It didn't take long for the aliens to give up their invasion and try for peace. With their help we managed to get things sorted out. Now they're living here and there on our planet. Of course, the wierd things haven't gone away, but we've all managed to learn to live with the occasional zombie walking down the main road and dragons trading for our cattle. It's just life as usual.

Setting:

Infinite Losers is set in a world much like modern day earth, but also slightly futuristic and fantastical. Zombies and dragons inhabit the same world as motorcycles and skyscrapers, which exist alongside intelligent robots and energy weapons.

Inspiration for the creation of this world comes from this webcomic.

Non-humans and bestiary:


Aliens: Aliens look like anthropomorphic cats. They also share many of the same traits as cats. They are generally about the size of humans.

Cat girls/boys: Human-alien crossbreeds that share traits of both races. They are generally regarded as cute by both humans and aliens.

Androids: Intelligent robots that generally exhibit a humanoid appearance. They are capable of acting independently of their creators. Groups of andriods have been known to establish cities on their own.

Anthropomorphics: "Anthros" for short. This is a term used to broadly refer to the number of anthropomorphic animals that have popped up in the years after the attempted invasion. The most common ones are the cat aliens. The second most common anthros are dogs. These are an unexpected offshoot of werewolves. The werewolves tend to have mixed feelings about their existence.

Dragons: There are many creatures which might be called a dragon, but those that are scientifically classified as dragons always have some degree of intelligence. Originally, dragons often engaged in their typical behaviors of snatching cattle and princesses (or the closest thing to them) and taking them back to their cave. Some dragons even took a liking to eating humans. This generally stopped when the missiles started keeping dragons away from the real humans. Dragons hate zombies with a passion because they can look like humans when viewed from a great height. They have since known to check to see whether a human is dead before eating him.

Goblins: Goblins are short and green with big pointy ears and noses. Other than that, they are surprisingly varied. Most goblins are unscrupulous and rather ugly. They don't often hold high-position jobs well, and they are typically always armed with something small and easily hidden. Goblins do have a knack for tinkering with mechanical things. Their more grandiose contraptions tend to be the primary contributors to the world population of feral mechanoids. A respectable number of goblins around the world answer to the enigmatic goblin king, who resides in his castle at the center of the world's only goblin nation.

Zombies: Typical brain-dead, shambling, walking, rotting corpses which spend most of their days looking for brains. Why they always look for brains is a mystery that scientists have been studying for years. Other more enterprising individuals are developing brain-scented zombie lures.

Dragon-zombies These creatures are very rare, as dragons are only susceptible to zombie infection if killed by zombies. Other than being the corpse of a dragon and able to fly and crush things and having giant teeth and claws, they're not so different from a regular zombie.

Mechanoids: Non-humanoid robots. They often have little or no intelligence. Many of them were former war machines used against supernatural threats. They are sometimes imbued with magical items that, when malfunctioning, cause them to disobey their masters and go feral. They have occasionally been kept and herded like cattle by androids.

NPCs and Misc. Organizations

Dancing man: He's said to be the strongest and most unbeatable fighter in the world. Nobody really knows who he is or what he looks like, though. Most people don't even believe he is unbeatable....or exists.

The Axe Smashers: A rock band that likes to pull the occasional dangerous publicity stunt. Their crowning performance so far has been playing upside down on the underside of the copper arches bridge. There were several cases of water-related hospitalizations that day due to fans trying to retrieve dropped paraphernalia from the river.

Fake Godzilla: A giant lizard that was experimented on by the aliens. The alien's intent was to create a weapon capable of manipulating the ever-elusive "Mysterious Energy". Being unable to create a machine to do it, they altered a living creature. The nature of the energy made the creature impossible to controll, however, and today the creature exists as simply another giant wandering monster that occasionally causes disruptions in towns that it wanders into. Fake Godzilla can fire a beam of mysterious energy from its mouth when it feels threatened.
