In A World With A Moose

[Mauser]

Hey everybody. So me and Jes were talking the other day, and somehow or nother we've come to the conclusion that a RPG based around the works and themes of Jhonen Vasquez would be a very, very awesome thing. So, here it is. In A World With A Moose.

Before we start, it may be a good idea to get a headcount of who knows who Jhonen Vasquez is, who thinks they know, who wants to know, and all the stuff like that. I'm a pretty big J.C.V. fan myself, and I know Jes is. So, if you have any questions that you'd like to ask before we get started (like just exactly what the laws of the Jhonen universe are, and other things like that) feel free to ask away.

No questions here.
LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED.

[Mauser]

Alright, we shall. First we need to get a character count. Now, since this is going to be a Vaquez style universe, we're going to need Vasquez style characters or it, well it just won't make any sense. Now I'll start with a list of Jhonen's already made characters, and we can work from there.

---------------------------------------------

Johnny The Homicidal Maniac = Johnny C., also known as Nny (pronounced “knee”) is a deranged serial killer, mass murderer, and spree killer who interacts with various other characters, more often than not torturing and murdering them. He elaborately and sadistically kills anyone who even slightly irritates him, then drains their blood and paints one of the walls in his house with it (to keep the Thing from getting out). If the situation dictates, Johnny is also willing to murder "innocent" people, though in his twisted mind, even they deserve their fate for some reason or another. The number of Johnny’s victims is in the dozens, if not hundreds--or perhaps even thousands. Authorities are unable to capture Johnny and seem unaware of his existence, though his crimes are often witnessed in public and reported by the few who manage to survive.

ZIM = A short, green, almost stereotypical looking alien from the planet Irk. He is also a narcissistic megalomaniac who usually has enormous outbursts claiming his normality. He is trying to conquer the Earth, and is generally unsuccessful. He is aided in his mission by a robot named GIR.

GIR = A dysfunctional version of the Irken S.I.R. (Standard Information Retrieval) units given to Irken invaders, but nobody knows what the G stands for. GIR rarely helps, but sometimes assists Zim unintentionally by doing destructive things to Dib.

Dib = Zim's main rival, a member of Zim's class at the "Skool" they both attend. Dib is obsessed with the paranormal and supernatural and is often criticised by his classmates for being "crazy" or mentally unstable due to his outlandish theories. He apparently is the only human to recognize or care that Zim is an alien and makes it clear that he will live to stop Zim at every turn. Seemingly everyone he comes into contact with claims Dib has an unusually large head, even though it does not appear abnormal.

Gaz = Dib's younger sister who also plays a prominent role in the show, but rarely takes an active part in stopping Zim's schemes. She knows and admits that Zim is an alien, but doesn't care because she thinks he's too stupid to take over the world.

Dib's head ISN'T BIGGER THAN ZIM'S, I never understood that.

I'M THE GAZ-ISH CHARACTER!

[Mauser]

Haha, yeah I never really understood why they thought his head was bigger either. But it's still funny to watch them bring it up every chance they get.

I'm guessing that Kyle will be the GIR-like character.

Right now I'm debating between the Dib-Like character, the ZIM-like character, and the J.C.-like character. I'll talk it over with Turbo and see which one he likes. We could also throw Blue Lantern in here and he could take the one he wants. I'll ask him in a bit.

“I’m telling you man, I so did.” said the teenage boy as he crossed the street leading up to his friend’s house.

“I don’t care, I still don’t believe you.” responded the other teen.

“I’ll tell you what, if I’m lying, the may a giantly huge...thing just fall from the sky for no reason.” the first teen stopped walking to wait.

The second teen paused and looked at his friend, “...Well, I guess you where-“

*WHAM*

The neighborhood shook with the giant impact of the black pod as the ground around the crater cracked and crumbled from the sheer force of the landing.

“Hah! See, I told you!” said the second teen.

The first teen paused, “That’s not fair, that’s a coincidence. I’m serious, I really did have waffles for breakfast!”

The teens continued to argue as they made their way inside the house, no doubt the location of many previous discussions of similar and not-so-similar topics.

Kat walked slowly through her small town, her attention focused on the book she was reading. Her short, choppy black hair sat partially in her face, and as a rush of children ran past her, she brushed it away from her dark green eyes.

"Stupid kids," she muttered as another three ran past her. A moment later, there was a swarm of kids running around her, all between the ages of 6 and 10. She looked up from her book for the first time in hours of walking. There were at 3 dozen children running around.. Jungle gyms carrying more kids were scattered along the grassy area.

"Ew... Great."

She huffed her way through the crowd of ugly kids to the exit. As she pushed her way through, she could've sworn one of them bit her. As she neared the opening of the fence, she noticed a few isolated kids, three of them. They were all about 8 years old.

"Hey you!" Screamed the big one with the curly hair. "You can't come here! You're too stupid." She looked up angrily from her book once more, gritting her teeth. They laughed at her more.

"Move." She insisted.

"No!"

"MOVE, NOW."

"WHY SHOULD I?"

"BECAUSE I SAID SO, YOU LITTLE SHITFACE."

"Fuck you!!"

She twitched. She was amazed an 8 year old even knew how to curse. This little it-child had some nerve.

The kid waddled up to her and kicked her in the shin. She didn't move. She calmly exhaled.

"You either get out of my fucking way, or scream painfully as I rip your eyes out of your skull." She managed to say through gritten teeth as she broke the binding of her hardcover.

The kid backed away, frightened at the fact that she didn't blink.

It mumbled something about her being a loser as she shoved past.

"I wish something large and painful would just drop out of the sky onto your face." She turned away and began to walk. About three seconds later, she heard a large crash that shook the ground and many screams to follow. She again turned back to the park. A rock fifteen feet in diameter had just crashed into the earth, squishing at least 5 kids underneath it.

She noticed the lard-child gazing over it in confusion. 'Damnit' she thought. 'So close.' She continued to walk away, reading, as if nothing happened.
