AnimOuch! Examples These examples are thumbnail sketches for you to use and develop your own games from, giving fully detailed worlds for each of these backgrounds would require hundreds more pages. Similarly most of the characters haven't been given any skills as the needs of your campaigns may be different to ours.
Wanderer's World This is an example background showing part of Wanderer's world. It is given as a sketchy outline for you to use and tailor to your taste.
The worshippers of the Flame are the descendants of a bunch of absolute nutters who decided that nuclear bombs were the closest thing on Earth to an all-powerful god. Because of this belief they were hounded out of the cities and into the mountains where they set up camps and bases, and a large fallout shelter.
They were vindicated on the day the bombs fell, the day that marked the end of `Before'.
After the war, and the effects of the nuclear and biological weapons used in it, the Temple of the Flame (as they came to be known, previously they were the Tadami Survival Club) were the most organised group in the Fukushima region.
Two generations of suffering later the world had changed drastically from that of Before. The Priests of the Flame had effectively become the hereditary rulers of the area and instituted many changes. The Temple was split up into two sections, the Divine Flame group were the administrators and organisers, the Cleansing Flame were the military wing. The High Priest was in regular contact with the government in New Tokyo and had initiated trade with them, food for medicines and equipment.
Fukushima was off-limits to Tokyo residents and there was a small military force in Utsunomiya to enforce this. They rarely had anything to do as the rumours of mutants and strange powers in Fukushima kept most people's interest low.
The problems lay in communicating their reasons, they just weren't trusted by the majority of the population. Although their worship of the flame had been institutionalised as the official local religion there were many who still adhered to Shinto and Buddhism. The Sisterhood members in outlying areas tended to rule by fear rather than logic due to it's efficiency. Their choice of outfits (found in an old magazine called `Girls in Uniforms') didn't help in many areas.
One of the first changes was the taking of the first daughter from each family to the shelter in Mt. Bandai, the Temple, as initiates. Here they were safe from the poisons in the air and could develop safely through puberty without becoming sterile. They were given names from old books, to help remove them from their previous lives, and a fairly good general education. Once they were of childbearing age they were returned to the outside world as nuns of the Sisterhood. They went to different areas to those they had come from in order to help spread genetic variety.
In many areas the local population tried to protect their children from the "obviously cruel" Sisters by disguising them as boys. This led to harsher and harsher punishments by the Sisters who failed to understand what the problem was.
Lesa's death was at the height of the problem. Merci, the local
As chronicled in Wanderer's Genesis this decision proved to be one too many. Wanderer came out of the wastes to the East like an avenging angel to attack Crystal Lake. After `freeing' the village Wanderer picked friends to help him in his quest. Satori and Zhuvar became his henchmen and many of the other men from the area joined him. They became a guerrilla force fighting the Sisterhood and the agents of the Temple
Role-playing this setting is more fulfilling than purely running it as a series of combat scenes. Emphasise the confusion as Wanderer's friends realise the loss to the region as they cripple the power of the Temple. Gradually they will realise they are not necessarily the good guys and are destroying the area.
Central Fukushima
The whole area consists of rolling hills covered in light woods. The areas around communities are cultivated with rice paddies and pasture fields. Mt Bandai is the largest mountain in the region and is often used as a navigational marker.
The Badlands are areas that were devastated during the war. Even the hills and mountains were twisted by the power of the bombs. The natural life there was killed or twisted into mockeries of their original forms. The ruins of Koriyama and Sukagawa are no longer radioactive, but they are still dangerous places to visit. There are many savage creatures and mutants living off each other. Many say this is Hell on Earth, comparing the life there to the demons of old legends.
Wanderer's Genesis This is an example episode running from small encounters with the nuns up to a serious fight with the local sister for control of Wanderer's home town.
Crystal Lake is a small frontier village consisting of predominantly wooden buildings surrounded by paddy fields and woods.
The village is primarily oriented towards producing enough food for it's own survival. The inn is the only major source of external trade. Many prospectors base themselves there for trips into the badlands. The Sisterhood keep a larger than normal presence here to inspect finds the prospectors bring in.
The small Sisterhood presence increases at midsummer with visitors for the festival.
Up until year 73, Solaku was a prospector. He worked on the Eastern Frontier searching for mineral lodes and artefacts from Before. He was considered by most to be the best in the area, famous for his bravery in daring the badlands.
On the eve of midsummer he returned to his hometown of Crystal Lake. He was in a jubilant mood having just made one of his greatest finds, an intact military arsenal from Before. He was so preoccupied that he almost failed to see the figure of Kolas, his neighbour, standing in the middle of the road a couple of kilometres from the village.
Kolas had grave news for Solaku. Solaku's wife, Lesa, was dead.
Solaku went mad. Lesa and Lesu were gone. What was the point in life any more?
Kolas spent the next few hours calming down Solaku and thought he had succeeded when Solaku climbed back into his truck and headed back to the badlands.
A year later Wanderer attacked Crystal Lake.
He came out of the badlands, straight down the main road. Just before the checkpoint he got out and circled round to attack it.
The Encounters Each of these encounters should be run in sequence as Wanderer and Jengar make their way into the village wreaking vengeance on the Sisterhood.
Wanderer has time between encounters to heal, but Jengar doesn't.
a Three nuns of the flame on duty at the checkpoint.
b Two squads of nuns of the flame coming to investigate the shooting.
c Merci, the local sister and her assistants. They are in the village for the festival, surrounded by villagers.

Meanwhile, in the city a short distance away...
Near Future The world is in decay, destroyed by man's greed. Many areas have been devastated by environmental disasters, others by warfare. Some areas still continue to function with high technology, others are reduced to barbarism.
Many cities survive or have been rebuilt, though overcrowding and crime are major problems. There is a huge gap between the haves and the have nots, a gap that is continually growing.
Many different power groups exist. The governments, the multi-national corporations, secret societies, organised crime. Each is disdainful of the others and alliances, when they occur, are usually broken as soon as one side sees an advantage.
In the `civilised' areas technology is often an evil as well as a blessing. Those with power and money can live virtually for ever, through the use of organ and memory transplants. There is a huge underground trade in people and organs to support the lives of the rich. Robots and androids break their programming (often with the help of someone who sees a possibility for personal advancement) and go berserk. Power groups use civilians for tests of new weapons and drugs. Open warfare between the groups occurs often. The media are used by all sides to push their causes, finding the truth behind the glitter is not easy.
These samples have mainly been set up for games set in one of these cities, such as New Tokyo, involving the police and vigilantes against criminals, corporations and each other.

In the middle of this are the police, pulled in different directions by the needs of the politicians (protecting their votes), the corporations (protecting their assets); and the man in the street (protecting their lives). Regularly new approaches to police work appear: better technology, heavier weapons, more armour. Just to add to the chaos facing the police are private police and security forces that have jurisdiction over many areas of most cities.

Vigilantes When things get too bad vigilantes appear in New Tokyo to make things better or worse, putting their personal views before those of the police. This group are very popular in the city as they are seen as being able to deal effectively with problems the police are neither trained nor equipped to deal with.

In combat she mans the electronics warfare gear, scanning, intercepting and jamming enemy transmissions when necessary. At other times she delights in spreading rumours and will make them up if she feels the need. She is the least combat worthy of the team. Total 718
Corporations The corporations are very powerful, running most of New Tokyo in secret and continually attempting to take it over completely. At times the various corporations are competing with one another to be the most powerful in the city, at others they combine forces against the city and police. Their resources and manpower make them very powerful adversaries indeed.
At the same time there are many powerful individuals in the corporations, they are often competing with each other for control of their own corporations. At times it seems that this constant internal strife is the only thing that keeps New Tokyo from becoming just another corporate suburb, albeit a large one.
For corporate security use the values given for patrol and response cops, possibly replacing the shotgun with a machine pistol.

Because of this they often make mistakes as they fail to notice unusual threats. Total 727 Civilians These are the poor people that get trampled on, are used as targets by rogue biomechs, die in cross fire etc. They don't have such a nice time of it in New Tokyo.
