Basically I'm wondering if anybody would like a rolepaly where a particular trope belonging to that genre of Japanese junk culture is used: something childish in real life such as a card game, being portrayed as serious busines in a fictional world. Obviously, this is truth in television to some extent to sports and go, but often things just get silly.
But on to the serious business, here is a rough draft of the intro:
Within the year 2012, things on earth are likely to a tad freakier. The hub of this upcoming change is city called Endsville, also known as the city of devils. However, despite future events, Endsville is somewhat notable on it’s own: it’s the capital of the state of Xanadu within the country of Eagleland, which recently crawled out of an economic ditch due to augmented service industries. Despite being surrounded by boondocks and the Eastern Eagleland coast, Endsville is as much of a metropolis as one might expect. It’s thriving artistic culture and prestigious schools are only marred by high crime rates and increasingly frequent claims of paranormal activity: namely, haunted houses, alien abductions and the like.
Former preacher Jerry Yarrow is one whose theories for this activity most closely resemble the truth. His hypothesis- based on a mixture of his own nightmares and ancient folklore of the land- is that Endsville was built on the area where a portal to another realm: one in which the visitors, to pleasantly vague, somehow bonded with some of the local fauna rather quickly, but sooon traveled back to their realm. He believes that what forces separating the two realms have eventually weakened as a result of that event.
What the man failed to realized that the return was an order by the nobles of ther land, natively known as the Seelthie, who didn’t want to bother in the human’s affairs. After the supposed seal of the portal, weren’t exactly congratulated by the comers back at home who later learned of the incident.
Yarrow’s theory, in addition to past radical interpretations of scripture, led to Yarrow’s choice of retirement. However, a few colleagues were interested in his ideas, and their support, especially in the area of theft and acquiring drug money, eventually lead to the research and development of a super computer -named the Uroboros project- that could communicate with creatures within this realm, which Yarrow himself dubbed Cloud Cuckoland.
There was, however, a problem: the Cuckolanders that Yarrow’s cabot found exactly friendly. What they found was a violent, savage race on pare with demigods in comparison to anything they had ever seen. However, negotiations were made as well as realizations: in order to coexist with the otherworldly natives when both realms eventually meshed, man would have to prove that it was to be taken seriously in the language by the Cuckolanders: combat.
For half a decade they tried to expand Uroboros, but mostly so in vain. However, the disocover was made that powers Cuckoland chieftain, a necrochaucer, could be channeled through Uroboros, everything began to work out. A small software company was bought out by Yarrow and the source of a soon to be prodigious event was born.
Chimera Corp’s premiere game, Cuckoland Clash has been a success to say the least. The fighting game, multiplayer via the internet or lan has brought a boon to arcades across Eagleland due to it’s innovation and use of the latest technology. The machine itself in nothing but a balck plastic recline of sorts with the usual slot and cables, except for it’s tethered virtual reality helmet, with uses neural technology only experimental in games before it to allow the player to fully control the actions of a player’s “randomly” generated avatar- savable on an id card given to new players- after choosing a faction of one of the twelve Chinese zodiac, as well as fool every sense of the player, especially pain, to give an unrivaled experience.
Now On the twenty third of december, players are preparing for the first official Cuckolander Clash tournament in Endsville Newyear's eve, which will commerate the release of a console port on the seventh. Although the prize, may be a mystery,what is not that the one hosting tournament at the Chimera Corp buikdng is the company's vice president himself, Jerry Yarrow.
