The creation myth from last thread: >Long ago, before The Hourglass of time had been Filled, before the Gods filled over the Realm of Meme, There were the Anons. >The Anons were entities of creative potential, with niether names or identity, but pure possibility itself. >The Anons had drifted in Void for countless eons, creating and speculating on everything that may potentially exist and even that which may never exist, in attempts to stave off their never-ending collective boredom. They were without self, manifestations of creation combining together to form grand tapestries and visions of stuff that mortals can only dream of, and splitting apart to form new concepts and marvels. >Eventually after countless eternities, The Anons, has saw fit to create a world, made with the input of all Anons themselves. >But The Anons were too Numerous, their ideas too many, some even Contradictory to each other. It would have been impossible To incorporate all of user's ideas. >So it was that the Great Runes were created, and allowed to each user. >The Runes were extensions of the Anons' power, allowing the Anons to manifest their immaterial concepts into Reality. >This was how our cosmos came to be. >Some Runes were weak, making only a temporary instant change in the new, infant cosmos, while others were strong, creating the greatest foundations of reality. >The most Powerful of these were the "Do Double-Dubs Runes" which had the power to reshape all reality at a whim. >When all had been finished, the Anons looked upon their creations with glee, enraptured by the art of ideas they had spun >Like all joint projects of Anons, many began to leave, in search of new sources of amusement, leaving their great Runes behind. This newborn universe would have faded away like so many others, had it not been for a few Anons that stayed. (cont.)

Thread topic: Should skeletons carry the memories of their original body, or be a gentlemanly spirit inhabiting anothers bones?
Joshua Gomez
An idea might be that when people die, their souls (or equivalent, depending on how the theology of this setting works) leave the body and become Gentlemanly Ghosts, that can then possess a skeleton. To become a skeleton able to be inhabited, one must be buried in a specific place/manner.
However, due to the disparity between people dying and people being buried to become skeletons, there is a difference between the number of ghosts and the quantity of skeletons available. Due to their civilised nature, the ghosts that have been waiting the longest (and have usually forgotten who they were when alive) get first rights to a skeleton, so ghosts don't usually inhabit their own bones.
Matthew Hughes
I like that, death is a long, long waiting line, and people learn to not be cunts as they develop patience.
Camden Martinez

Your work is appreciated, user. It's what really got me hooked into this mess of a setting.
You're not wrong. I'm probably gonna convert this into a less meme heavy setting given my group isn't made up of fa/tg/uys, but it's still nice to support the setting, given that the orignal OP seemed to run off.

I was about to berate you for wanting to make a setting comprised entirely of memes less meme-heavy, but with a few name changes this could be a perfectly functional setting.
Kayden Foster
I mean, I'd like to run it as is, but I don't want them getting lost.
The fact this can work with a few name changes is what makes it enticing. It came from random chance, yet somehow things work.

>Sheeple lands, ruled by corporations characterized by huge gray skyscraping towers and a lack of decor. The ruling Sheeple live in a strict authoritarian state and are expected to fall in line, or be cast out. >Sentient Suitcases are most numerous here, and are a threat for many Sheeple here
>Anime girl lands: ancestral home of the Anime girls, where some still live in their traditional tribal fashions and train their semen demons the traditional way
>Bripan: the Island Empire/Ctiy founded by the Do-Double-Dubs Count herself as the ultimate safe haven for the Anime girls. It has become one of the most Cosmopolitan city on the planet, home to Sheeple, Anime Girls, and respectable skeletons. >In the Counts stead, It is ruled by a council of her most trusted, ancient and venerable respectable skeleton advisors, who eagerly await her return. >The Sheeple are mostly lower-middle class citizens >Because Bripan was originally founded by and for Anime girls, the maintain a higher status as the original citizens of that place.
>Near Bripan there is an Archipelago of smaller islands >One of which is Whales, Home of the Welsh >The Welsh live with mostly medieval technology, believing that such comforts are for "poncy wankers" >Instead of militia or a standing army, every Welsh citizen, from farmer to nobleman, is able to fight as a soccer hooligan in times of need, >They are mostly nuetral to the other nations and races, but enjoy amiable relations with the sheeple, who are more than happy to throw their outcasts and troublemakers onto them.

So how animalistic are Sheeple anyway? Are they basically sheep that stand upright and can talk, or the sheep equivalent of catgirls/catboys?
Alexander Sullivan
So, we've established that Respectable Skeletons are seperate entities from the person that created them. Where did they come from? How did people learn to attach them to their bodies? What advantages would there be from doing so?
Noah Baker
Depends on your taste and how much you wanna rag on the welsh.
Landon Wood
What about the Archipelago, I mean we barely know anything about the specific islands aside from Wales and the Island of the ancient Bacon Masters, and even them Only Whales was talked about in detail, what is the isle of the Bacon Masters like? Or if there should there be other important isles or if it should be left up to DM discretion.
Charles White
Are there any other Welsh sterotypes besides sheep fucking?
Jacob Butler
>Regarding the Entity Known as Aperture Science and Those Who Call Themselves It's Test Subjects >By Baron Johann Skellyman, Bacon Master of the Fourth Order >During my travels, I have encountered many members of the strange and esoteric race known as the Sea Cucumber People. Despite Bripan's alliance with this race, there are still many mysteries surrounding these peoples. One of the greatest of said mysteries revolves around Aperture Science and its Test Subjects. Supposedly, there is a trench in the deepest reaches of the Bripanese sea that glows with a strange white light. The challenges of navigating this cave are myriad, and of the few creatures brave enough to attempt such a journey, fewer return. Those lucky few come into contact with a thing called Aperture Science. Unfortunately, those who venture into the depths of the Aperture have their memories clouded by such an event, and cannot remember the way to safely navigate the caverns, nor if Aperture Science is an entity, object, or concept. Those who do exit the Aperture do so equipped with enigmatic tech that will only work in their hands and operates on no known laws of nature. Sea Cucumber people are obviously the most common Test Subjects, although occasionally a Skeleton, Sheep, Welshman, or Waifu will attempt such a feat, usually with the aid of water breathing magics.
Angel Brown
This is pretty good, actually. Let's do this one.
Tyler Perez
That's pretty bithin mate, but it also gets me thinkin, what would Sea-cucumber person society be like?
I mean, it's not like we can do what people usually do with other beast races and give them a society that exemplifies their traits as animals, because sea-cucumbers are actually coming lately brainless, and could never have had a society of their own.
Grayson Johnson
So if we're gonna be talking about Monster Lands, what would the lands of the /Pol/acks be like? I mean, it's pretty oblivious that the Dindus would be something like The Zulus mixed with the raidijg habits of Songhai, but how would /Pol/ work as a barbaric tribal civilization? They hate Tribal separatism and worship the concept of a unified Authoritarrian leader, meaning that their Group would al let be on Par with the Sheeple.
I'm thinking that they would be like the Mongolians under Genghis Kahn, cruel and brutal for the purpose of ensuring loyalty and destroying opposition, mixed with the Agressive, fight-seeking nature of the Trribal Germans, and a little sprinkle of Modern Fascist methods like a secret police-like entity to hint at their future.
Carter Brooks
It's more Half Life than Portal, but HL2 had pic related, walls that would break down the environment around them to gather material and make more of themselves. Maybe that's what sea cucumber land buildings could be like? Albeit more white paneled given Aperture style.
I was thinking disorganized warrior tribes fraught with infighting and not doing much of anything to the outside world till a Fuehrer rises up and unites them in a lightning war against the other monsters or one of the civilized races, but it seems a little too Orky, now that I type it out
Carter Nguyen
So are the Frontier settlements going to be Sheeple, Tribal Anime Girl, Bripanese, of some combination of the above?
Also, I imagine that the pigboys would be mostly Welsh and Sheeple. Their theme of "Quantity over Quality" and their role as providers of a Necessity rather than a luxury seems that it would be run by the People who care the least about something being enjoying when compared to something being helpful.
Also, I swear to god this thread better not die in my sleep like the last one!
Luis Stewart
Maybe like Deep Ones, but friendlier?
Jordan Thompson
They have really long names for towns. For example: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
Kayden Robinson
So what's Bripan's opinion on the Welsh? On one hand, the Count Herself was trained by the Welsh, but on the other, they find the Bripanese to be "poncy wankers" and live in harmony with the Sheeple, something that defies the order of Bripanese society.
Robert Mitchell
Just like they don't make jews like Jesus anymore, they don't train em like the Count anymore.
Dylan Nelson
So in this metaphor, what level of antisemitism are the Bripanese at?
Aiden Garcia
That... is a legitimate question. I was just quoting a song, but now I'm wondering if there is much tension between the civilized races, like any anti-undead types.
Grayson Sanchez
Well, if the Welsh dislike advanced technology, then I imagine they wouldn't be okay with necromancy.
Jason Foster
Would the original skeletons raised by the Countess be an exception to this?
Jacob Scott
Well the Welsh seem to dislike technology used for making life easier, not making life possible.
But then again, to them Respectable Skeletons would be the very definitions of "Poncy Wankers", so they probably still wouldn't get along very well.
Parker King
Across both cultures, The Count is respected, and she is remembered as always doing The Right Thing, whether that was true or not.
Josiah Perez
"Ye can bring back anyone yeh want, and you resurrect these stuck-up knob'eads?"
This makes more sense. The Bripanese think the Welsh are chaotic and uncivilized, the Welsh think the Bripanese are pompous assholes who are oppressing the Sheeple.
Luis Clark
We need more stuff on Anime Girls. What's their society like?
Colton Harris
Is the Count a goddess? Does she have clerics? Paladins?
Julian Powell
From what I remember, they had a religion based around Senpai's, seeking to do well in life in order to gain their notice and ascend to the same level as them. They also trained most of the semen demons, but I don't really remember if that was for a certain reason. If the thread is still up in the morning, I'll check the old ones.
They also got converted to Blonde Girls in Lion Costumes a lot due to the suits possessing them.

Brody Campbell
I reckon it's obsessed with progression, cause think about it. If you get cool tech when you meet Aperture Science then, maybe you also meet Aperture when you create cool techy stuff. as such they have a reputation for being the polar opposite of most sheeple, extremely ambitious, technologically savvy and inevitably less interested in profits than they are in the creation of stuff. most of what they make is based on the tech the Test Subjects bring back, so the Subjects who sell their tech can end up pretty rich indeed. Speaking of the subjects, do they all get the same kind of tech from Aperture, or is it a little more individual, like they're not getting specific types of advanced technology, they're just getting advanced technology in general
Landon Sanders
That's a great basis, but what things like government, and socialization. I mean, their incredibly alien nature means that the society itself would work completely differently.
Their "interesting" means of reproduction and less social nature would mean that the family unit would be nonexistent for them, and ties of nationality or clan would be at least weaker to them than ties of common goal (Like Science) or personal friendship.
Mason Ortiz
Isn't baseball huge in Japan too? We could give that to the anime girls.
You're a saint, user.
Dylan Ward
can't think of much for socialisation, but I feel like they would be scientific directorates. Civilisations ruled by scientists, or in this case civilisations that spring up solely so that the scientists at the top have an infrastructure to help them do shit. I also feel like the scientists at the top would be kinda like the philosophers from "Small Gods", constantly arguing about the proper ways to do things (often with their...fists? whatever they happen to have).
The creation of new cities/nations often has less to do with a desire to colonise new lands and more to do with one scientists tantrum about quantum, which gets them removed from he city till they cool off

Favorite sport(s) in this world by races: Respectable Skeletons: Respectable Fisticuffs, Croquet, Football (for being a game of gentlemen), Big Game Hunting and other Proper and Respectable sports. Sheeple: for a comfy agrarian communities its something with a teamplay and nothing truly dangerous - Golf, Football (for being truly command's game). For their corporate counterparts, whatever pays the bills and Football (because it sells things). Sea Cucumber: They prefer less activity, but more strategic games, with mandatory swimming. Of course, they also love Football (for being a great physical exercise and warm up before Tests) Anime Girls: Tennis, Baseball, Archery - anywhere where one man matters and he can be a main character or at least main cast. Also, football (because it can make you famous) Welsh: Pubrun, beating a ponsy wankers, poaching, footy (cause you can drink and fight before, during and after it) and other stuff
Austin Turner
Semen demons were the Tribal Anime Girls Protectors. They Utilized inherent Perversity, Lewdness, and lust of their primal enemies (Dindus, Dicks with Hats, Dragon Dildos, and the Dreaded NEETs) againts them as their primitively magics granted them powers over all sorts of lewd things from them.
They held a posistion of respect and honour among the Anime girls, losing their ability to ever bear children so that they could protect their sisters from the monsters of the world.

How about Semen Demon powers grant powers to influence the minds of lustful creatures, and where from full mind control to Lessening the creatures ability to think and fight or their aggressiveness through magic.
They should also gain a weapon proficiency with something simple and relatively easy to make like a quarter staff or macuahuitl considering their tribal protector origins. This is to compensate for the fact that I can't think of any other abilities for Semen Demon That don't cross the fine line between lewd memery and magical realm.
Dominic Williams
NEETs are like morloks - degraded, almost mindless, cowardly shadows of Anons. The worship only "Waifus"
Gavin Reed
maybe they're what happens to the Sheeple and Welsh that approach the Chan mountains. They're touched by the shadows of the Anons and transformed into NEETs: Sheeple become Slobs and the Welsh become Lankys
it doesn't affect the other races in the same way because they are pretty far away from what the anons were and so are more difficult to affect
Christian Russell
>adopted by skeletons This is the plot of a sitcom.
Ryder Kelly
I would think that they would be more likely to be ancient /Pol/acks and Dindus who dwelled in the Chan mountains and were corrupted by the Great Runes' tantrums.
It doesn't really make sense that people would be more corruptible by being farther way from the source it it. And NEETs are supposed to be the ancient predators of the Anime girls, meaning that they would have to have been around for a long time. Longer before the advent of easy travel.
Besides Runic effects are just pure creation of things, not a special form of regular magic. They are the very essence of making something from nothing for the fuck of it, not some god's favor to his followers, that's what makes them so powerful. They're not something you can gain an immunity to (unless we're gonna include a version of blanks who are the very anathema of creation and existence itself).
