SLUSH PILE #1

— The Harvesters resemble towering ants made out of light, and appear in swarms when they are active. They
harvest your gold in a process akin to a butterfly collecting nectar, and it is this power they barter
for in exchange for transporting you back to the mortal realm.

–Few know exactly what the Necronians look like, other than their identical fractal attire,
translucent skin, and captivating golden eyes. Led by a central Syndicate, the Necronians are
secretive, but eager to trade the Grimstone tech that powers the artificial augmentations visible
under their translucent skin. Though this technology is powerful and has nearly unlimited
applications, many refuse to use it due to the gruesome rumors of its corruption.

–The Ferry Men appear as spindly giants around fifteen feet tall that are swathed in black bandages
and have glowing silver eyes. They possess ships that can sail through the Aether without becoming
unraveled, and charge a unique treasure as price for passage between realms. Able to shape the aether
into weapons, the Ferry Men are regarded by outsiders with both fear and wonder.

–The Lifestealers come to the surface and attack a group of adventurers and/or settlers. They
appear as a large, black, slug-like creature with a human-like face that is capable of changing its
skin to resemble the appearance of whatever the Lifestealer desires. The Lifestealer can change its
form to resemble that of anything in the universe, ranging from plants to animals to even a human.

–The Hounds are an almost mythical breed of beast with red eyes and bodies that are shaped like
that of a dog. Their teeth are covered with a hard chitin layer. Most legends describe Hounds as
being the enemies of all other beasts, and they are often found alone in the dark of the night.

— In the darkness of the night a great beast can be seen rising from the water of the depths.
It has the shape of a fish, but is covered with a hard shell, and has large round eyes. It also has a
mouth filled with great rows of large sharp teeth.

— The Kite is a giant spider-like creature, six feet long from front to back, and with a long
tail and a long whip like limb.

–The Mollusk is a great, giant sea snail shaped like a giant head. It appears to be made from
a hard rocky shell and a thick liquid body, and is almost half as long as a man is tall.

— The Rat is a huge beast that can appear as a humanlike being with red eyes and a ratlike
body. Its mouth is filled with sharp teeth, and it has a long tail with an ability to fire a poison
stream of deadly needles.

— The Tuna is a floating giant of a fish, up to one hundred feet long, with a head that is
fiery blue and a body like a whale’s. It can make use of ethereal aether to create powerful electric
force to attack prey with, and will use it to power great floating constructs of aether and crystal.

-The Aestuari have bodies that can generate electricity. They create small amounts of
unstable, ionizing radiation with each touch. This radiation does very little to harm
anyone except very sensitive people, and may even aid a Gedda’s healing abilities.
They are able to control radiation to some degree, and can protect themselves with protective
materials that allow them to create and use shields without hands.

— The Muck appear as slimy, amorphous, grey blobs that are able to
create the physical realities of the world. Each one of them can inhabit a single object, which they
use to create everything from the ground to a fully functioning ship. It is rumoured that they are
able to harness the GLOG allowing them to manipulate it with their will alone.

-The Aenar are a mysterious race, even by the standards of the galaxy. They are
invisible, and are thought to teleport by some strange means, but no one has ever seen
them. It is believed that they’re some type of highly advanced aliens who’ve gone
beyond the boundaries of interstellar travel, and so they’ve all been lost in
space, leaving no trace of their existence. It is not thought that they ever came back
in time.

-Hexos are beings that look like a cross between humans and some large animal, with
furry protrusions growing out of them. They’re quite intelligent, and although they
are the most docile creatures in the universe, they are also extremely territorial.
The two species are quite antagonistic to each other, but have been forced to live
peacefully together. Most Hexos are pacifists, but the more intelligent ones can
be very vicious, and will seek to attack those who threaten their species, or their
territory.

-The Skrall are a very dangerous and extremely aggressive species. They are most notable for their
ability to manipulate gravity and alter their shape to mimic whatever terrain they want. They
practically have a monopoly on the black market for Gravitic Scanners.Skrall are dangerous for several reasons: they are extremely intelligent, they are
extremely fast, and they never take „no“ for an answer. They are also known for their loyalty to
their own kind, even when it’s in their best interest to turn against their own kin.Skrall can be recognized by their red skin.

—The Gynith are a group of chakra antelopefolk. Their society consists of a caste
system with one leader (The Mage) on top. The Gyniths are the most powerful wizards in the galaxy, but their society is often
corrupted through their magical rituals.
::Acolytes are the lowest caste of the Gyniths. They often serve as foot soldiers or farmers, but also function
as a as a sort of „target practice“ for the Mage.
::Witches are one caste above Acolytes and consist of artisans and sales women.
It is possible to advance your caste, through proving yourself on a quest for the mage.
The higher the caste, the more dangerous the quest.
The Gyniths use a powerful energy blade called the Erosion Blade in their magic rituals, and sometimes perform
rituals in which they sacrifice other species.

—The Bitterfruits are a very rare creature. Found only in the northern mountains.
They are not a true species but a cross between a human and a berry.
They appear humanoid but have no bodily hair, only sweet delicious fruit.
The Bitterfruit people are very secretive and distrustful. They are not a friendly race and will attack
on sight if one approaches their settlement.
Despite their northern location, the Bitterfruit are in constant warfare with the Gynith.
The Gynith have always suspected that the Bitterfruit
are just the tastiest fucking shit in the world, and also the key to dimensional travel, but have never been able to get any evidence to support their claims.
The Bitterfruits are very distrustful of the Gynith and will do anything to protect their land. When the Gynith are present, they will
seldom go out, but will hide within the caves of the mountains.
The Bitterfruits have two known subspecies.
The Liquors are a blue colored race who favor using small melee weapons such as knives, sickles and staffs.
They wear no armor and are not very aggressive.
The Wines are a red colored race who use swords, longswords, and halberds.
They wear leather armor and can be very aggressive and fierce.

—The Kelgine are a species that can absorb or control
magical energy in the form of light, heat, fire, or electricity. They have four fingers on their hands
that allow them to cast spells with ease, but they are also capable of using other tools and weapons.
Bombers are a group of Kelgine that have been trained in fusion combat.
They travel in groups of 4 elite hunters with the power to fuse together into one amalgation.
This gives them access to all 4 spell sources and the power of about 20 human soldiers.

On the opposite side of time, a WILD land mass where time has halted. Now this place is habitable, though it has never before seen civilized life.

RAWRINKS
Drowsy horned demons that live in the city’s underworld. They feed on the souls of geardin and rip them apart limb by limb with their demonic horns and teeth.

This is why the Rox have decided to destroy them all.

ROX
The city watch of Rockdale, organized to patrol the city’s darkened streets at night. They solely consist of volunteers from all levels of society. The Rox possess a high level of discipline and pride in their work and a certain bloodlust in their quest to rid the city of the evil creatures, monsters, and demons that plague it. They have the ultimate goal of defending the lower class from the cruel roams of the rich. Most politicians and nobles try to bribe them, but ultimately fail.

ROY GARNET
Roy is an orphan who joined the Rox, but quickly decided to make a career of the force. It was there that he gained his elite fighting skills, as well as a complete ban from every form of law enforcement. He has since branched out into the fields of detective work and is sometimes called the „Copper*s Copper“.

THE RAVAGES OF FUTURE TIME
Torn open dimensional gates suck in strange cosmic hounds that tear open dimensional blights, alien war machines, undead stalkers of all things bad.
Now the old inhabitants of Prismonia live in the broken shards and survivors of the past of time must escape through the portal.

FIVE CENTURIES AGO a healthy child was born by the goddess MISERY.
This was deeply concerning to the divine beings residing there, as gods can’t bear children.
The other gods in the room could not understand the child.
It spoke in a loud incomprehensible language without words.
The gods consulted the SIMULATOR for help.
It created a world in which beings are born, to study their behaviour.
The gods decided to call together a council to debate the whole gods can’t get pregnant thing.
When the council was convened, MISERY was declared a demi-god and banished to the newly created world.

FIVE DECADES AGO the SIMULATOR was consulted to design a new god.
It decided to use the body of a pig, for there were few other alternatives.
It created life in a pig’s body, gave it consciousness and other sparkly things that gods have, like a small mole on their neck.
The god was named FEAR. It did some nice things to the world, like introducing the concept of death,

FIVE YEARS AGO in the Dungeon-Tower-Of-One-Hundred-Levels the BRICKZARD has pissed off the BLOCKLINS by creating them and sealing them away to
the lowest level, way way below the surface. The BRICKZARD in its fear of revenge, has made an alliance with FEAR itself.
Through arcane machinations, he planted a religion in the BLOCKLINS culture, that praises a false idol, secretly empowering FEAR.
In exchange the BRICKZARD has asked for the weapon that brings forever death to the BLOCKLINS in the form of the BODYWASHER.
During a fight with the BRICKZARD the BLOCKLINS managed to steal the BODYWASHER and now keep it hidden in the lowest level.

FIVE DAYS AGO the BRICKZARD has invited a network of heroes to work with him, in order to get back the weapon and destroy the BLOCKLINS.
The network, named THE BAD GUYS, consists of such tragic backstories as the NINJA, ROGUE or SIREN.
More or less a d20 table of them are slowly advancing towards the lowest level of the dungeon.

FIVE MINUTES AGO you fell in love, as you locked eyes with the queen for a sliver of a second too long.
The king, currently in the process of crowning you, noticed and cut of your arm.
You quickly reattached it and went on with the ceremonies on your first day as a knight of the BLOCKLINS.
