Mutant abominations, genocidal human supremacists, thousands of giant crawling insects and a ruined planet filled with literal "dog eat dog" battles for supremacy? If you think a post-apocalyptic world will be tamer and softer just because most of the cast are various degrees of Funny Animals After The Bomb is here to prove you dead wrong.
- The Empire of Humanity are incredibly blatant nazi fascists. They enslave and exterminate animals like they're just stomping on bugs and engage in some pretty horrifying experiments such as the "Purtyville Children" incident. In an effort to help humanity repopulate and take back control of the planet they had several "pure" children cloned and indoctrinated from the moment they were born to serve as a fresh "perfect" generation. Everything was going great... until the children turned 7 and revealed both incredible psychic powers and a homicidal disdain for anything that wasn't one of them. Long story short... all the clone children are implied to have been exterminated and humankind came within inches of being wiped out completely.
- Way before the Fallout series graced the world with horrifically detailed 3D models of giant creepy crawlies like Cazadores and Bloodbugs ATB gave gamers access to dozens of nasty giant insects to use in its own post-apocalyptic setting. Many of said bugs are so big they can even be used as mounts or makeshift vehicles. The game also includes a note that the insects listed are only a small handful of those that can be commonly found in the world and that the GM should look up other species such as bugs that lay their eggs in living hosts or ones that suck blood. With a proper nature encyclopedia the possibilities for terrorizing players with a fear of insects are truly endless!
- How humanity caused the apocalypse in the backstory deserves a mention for just how stupid and senseless it was. Basically, after a high school prank gone wrong various people began experimenting with genetics and created deadlier and deadlier diseases, completely confident that their advanced medical technology could handle anything they could dish out. For the most part, they were right... up until someone made something so potent that it wiped out most of the human race in days and caused animals to mutate into the forms that have in the current era. As if all that wasn't enough various world superpowers saw the deadly plague as a targeted biological attack and quickly launched their nukes in retaliation strikes. When the dust finally settled all that was left of the once powerful human race were a few isolated enclaves of fanatical fascists desperately trying to reclaim their lost glory in a world that has long since passed them by. The apocalypse came not due to a natural disaster or global war but simple human arrogance.
- Pleasure Bunnies are a two-fold case.
- Firstly, their abilities. Pleasure Bunnies have the ability to emit emotion-manipulating pheromones that are all but impossible to detect, except by mutants with superhuman senses of smell. They can also consciously manipulate their pheromones to be perfectly tailored to an individual's unique bio-chemistry with prolonged exposure, literally turning the Bunny into a Fantastic Drug to their victim. These unfortunates are almost completely under the thrall of "their" Bunny, with nearly unbreakable loyalty — and if they ever get too far away from the Bunny, they start going into physically crippling withdrawal within minutes, so even if they do manage to force their way past the mental blocks compelling them to trust and obey the Bunny, they'll probably die if they try to get away. Worse, most people have no idea that Pleasure Bunnies are capable of doing this; they're simply thought of a harmless race of dumb, sex-obsessed beauties only good for being kept as bedmates and courtesans. The highly intelligent Pleasure Bunnies encourage people to underestimate them this way.
- Secondly, their likely origins. Though it's never been confirmed, the most widely spread and accepted for its likeliness theory is that they were a Pre-Crash experiment to bio-engineer lab rabbits into a Servant Race entirely for the sake of being Sex Slaves.
