The extent of the Dreamings influence on this realm reaches only a few square miles on a planet where all of the people were wiped out by their own selfishness. Within this small plot of land exists a great lonely tree on a cliff that overlooks a refuse pile from a bygone age. The small creatures of this world have achieved sentience and built societies around their giant tree and the garbage dump below. They have integrated the technology of the ancient dead people into themselves and now live in raccoon communism; a society where only the strongest get the best garbage to share among their kin.
 
The insectoid people of the tree come in many forms, but the bees and ants are the most prevalent. They have the best cyber enhancements and have adopted a punk lifestyle similar to that of late 90’s culture. This is the only type of clothing, music, and attitude that has survived the previous apocalypse. The Hive people claim dominion over all that the light touches and as far as they can see over the horizon, about 2 miles. Across the great hill of garbage in the valley of imagination are the puppet people of the Tribe of Eyes that Google. Some believe they are the souls of the ancient selfish people given new consciousness. Those people are pretty much right.

The Tribe of the Eyes that Google believe in the gods known as Henson and Rogers. One day these deities will return and lead them to an even larger garbage pile, but only after they have befriended the the Hive People into submission. What neither of these species realize is that a great darkness dwells beneath them and it has awoken. A creature that is part-bug, part puppet, and part fox is raising an army of carpet termites that will threaten the existence of the great tree and the imagination valley. This is where our story begins…

Hive Person

The hive people live in the tunnels, roots, and boughs of the great tree. They stick parts of micro computers into their faces because it looks cool. This is also how they assert dominance among their species. This, combined with their obsession with partying, reckless attitude, and fashion sense, is a recipe for excellence. They hate the puppet people of garbage mountain because their friendly nature makes them untrustworthy; everyone is after something.
Costume and Roleplay
  • 90’s attire, but only if it was punk, goth, grunge, or a fringe culture.
  • You must believe in the Great Tree Dream; that everything will be good when you grow up and that you too can have what the previous generation got.
​

Subrace: Antz
The ant people live closer to the roots of the tree. Their dress is more unkempt, and they don’t mind a little dirt and grunge. They are also the working class which means they know how to have fun the best. An Ant party may go on for days and will be remembered in legend if they can cause landslides in the garbage pile below. 


Requirements
  • 90s grunge is preferred, but with more actual dirt.
  • Cybernetics in their arms and legs.
  • Antz are especially good at racoon communism so your roleplay should reflect this. 


​

Picture
Subrace: Bees
The bees are members of high punk society and prefer cybernetics in their faces, antennae, abdomen, and stinger. Their parties are more about the experience, not about the noise, and are only remembered in legend if it leads to a warband being formed to raid the puppet people of imagination valley.  

Requirements
  • Prefers bee hawks, stingers on their jackets, and black and yellow color schemes.
  • Punk looks are okay, no grunge though. Goth is also okay but only if the ratio of PCs remains like only 1:6.
  • Bees should act superior to other insectoids, like their role models Bee Madonna and King Bee Arthur. 

Subrace: Other
Just make something up, we will probably approve it. Must be a bug.

Garbage Puppet

The Tribe of the Eyes that Google just want to be your friends, but their aggressive neighbors have caused them to become someone else. So they had to become something else. The religious members of this species still try to follow the peaceful philosophy of the two great creators Henson and Rogers, and have a code called The Trolley Problem of Make-Believe. It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them.
​
Costume and Roleplay
  • Felt clothing in bright colors that is made with care and friendship.
  • Googly eyes on your face or hands.
  • Religious members of this species must create and sing songs that instruct the viewe- other players in a moral lesson and/or life skills. 
Picture
Subrace: Hand Puppet
The hand puppet people are actually attached to large amorphous dead hand blobs. Because this part of their body is so disgusting they have developed a culture of hiding behind things so that only their wrists are visible. It is only considered polite. This species on only recommended for new players due to its demanding costume and roleplay requirements.  

Requirements
  • Create the most disgusting blob like mutant hand costume you can for around your feet; or just hide behind objects as often as possible so that your lower half is obscured.
  • You must only speak in a high-pitched voice, like a clown that swallowed a helium tank. Puns are not only encouraged but expected. 

Picture
Subrace: Muppet
Muppets have feet and an extra feat coming into game. This is a clear statistical advantage and should only be played by min-max PCs. As such there are no real roleplay requirements for this species and costume requirements are also optional.

Requirements
  • A mascot-like costume with exact details to that of a professional muppet (optional).
  • A deep philosophical understanding of the universe and your place within a culture based around friendship and doing the right thing (optional).


Carpet Termite (Approval Required

You may only play this species if you can demonstrate a specific level of edginess. Lots of pent of aggression, but not like a sword obsession. Black makeup, but not like kiss levels.
​
The Carpet Termites are the bad guys in this realm, but you are not one of those termites. You are one of the ones that rebel against their mind-controlled nature so ignore any urge to be antagonistic unless it makes you cool and just misunderstood, but not really evil. You should have an affinity for eating wood and dressing like a puppet who is going through a goth phase.  
Costume and Roleplay
  • Dress in black or dark grey. You may use color but only as an accent.
  • You must clearly show that you are part-puppet and part bug; don’t forget the cyberpunk either.
  • You must choose from one of two roleplay styles, Sad & Angsty or Edgy & Brooding.  
  • Communicate only in sighs and googly eye rolls, or cool come backs.
  • Your parents must have died in a tragic dragonfly attack that also wiped out your village in the month of April.
