"It has been ten years since the end of the world as we knew it. A world-wide Internet infection by an unusual type of virus (called CLULESS) was the trigger. Reality was torn to bits, never to come back fully to normal.

90% of mankind vanished without a trace for 23 hours. The things we believed to be Fictional appeared in their stead. The battles that followed devastated the world.

And once the 23 hours ended, mankind came back, adapted to this new world, willing to embrace the Fictions with open arms... something that many of those who survived the "23 Hours of Madness" are not willing to accept, nor take lying down.

This is an Era of Badass. The Tropes mold your destiny. Out in the open and within the shadows, it is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny-Good versus Evil, Real versus Fiction, Canon versus Non-Canon, Rationality versus the Rule Of Cool, the final victor still undetermined.

No place is "safe", only "safer". And outside of it, there is a Multiverse and one timeline-the CORE timeLINE, "Coreline", "C-Line" or "The Line" for short-slowly going crazier.

We bid you welcome. Leave your sanity at the door. And for what's worth, enjoy your stay."

* AllThereInTheManual: Lots of setting info is available on the Forums and on the DeviantArt galleries.
* ArchivePanic.: The En World and WOTC forums are LOADED with information.
* BalkanizeMe: Various places on Earth have divided into chunks great and small (such as [[CodeGeass Britannia]] conquering part of Siberia, Los Angeles becoming a MegaCity (and mini-nation) and Germany dividing again into East (which is still relatively normal) and West (which has been taken over by, and renamed into, [[FullMetalAlchemist “Neo-Amestris”]].)

[[Literature/HarryPotter Wizarding Britain]] is not exempt, either.

* TVTropesWillRuinYourLife: Inverted. Good Trope knowledge may very much ‘’save’’ your life, depending on the circumstances.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: This is the setting in a nutshell-it’s even on the OpeningNarration.
* WeWillUseWikiWordsInTheFuture: And Trope names.
* WorldOfBadass: You either develop some amount of badassery (specifics don’t matter) or (depending where you live) you’re either a bystander in danger or you’re as good as dead.
