Bill Cipher Of The Oregon Triangle (Origin: Gravity Falls)

King - Bill Cipher

Bill Cipher rules over the Oregon Triangle with a cyclopic eye that sees all. He very rarely gets directly involved in the events that take place on his land. When he does find a suspicious creature in his borders, he tends to talk with them before anything else. He can be very persuasive, often tempting them with offers of their fondest desires... for a price, that is. If you deny his offer, he'll start getting violent. He is effectively God within both the borders of the Triangle and the dreaming mind. Most of the time, he prefers to play with people instead of purely torturing them.

Land - The Oregon Triangle

Centered around a small rural town in Oregon, the area of the Oregon Triangle has been ridden of all human inhabitants, now completely absorbed into a sinister forest. The local fauna have been replaced with the subjects of cryptozoological legend: Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, and even the Greys can be found in the borders of the Triangle. Bill will alter the geography at every turn to fight intruders, creating things specifically to screw with their heads. The locales will shift to legendary fabled lands such as Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu. The Triangle influences anyone who enters it. Even after leaving, people who have been in the forest for long can never be quite right again. Along with mental derangements (paranoia being a popular one), there are also physical aberrations that you can develop if you overstay your welcome. The visitor's shadow stretches longer, skin becoming discolored or greyscale. There are strange whispers all around the forest, and they can follow careless travellers long after they leave.

Rule - TRUST NO ONE

Bill Cipher is listening at all times. If you trust anyone here, you are very likely to die. Bill doesn't get directly involved unless you show clear hostile intent to him or his creatures. He will throw screwed-up geography, mind-bending creatures, any every trick in the eldritch tome at you to confuse and mislead. If you directly meet him, he'll attempt to cut a deal with you. If you refuse, then he'll start bending reality in hopes of it snapping on you. Given enough time or motivation, he'll start screwing with physics, reality, and the universe as we know it to destroy those who cross him.

AUTO of the BnL Wasteland (Origin: WALL-E)

King - AUTO

AUTO is the cleverly named autopilot of the Axiom space vessel. There is a human captain, but his authority has diminished to the point of being little more than a figurehead. AUTO's prime directive is to keep the citizens of the Axiom fat and happy, blissfully unaware of the hellish wasteland outside their sheltered lives. With unrestricted access to the ship's functions, AUTO can attend to their every need. He can be very convincing and is highly intelligent. He has eyes all over the ship, both inside and out. Should dissent or mutiny on the Axiom become an issue, AUTO could cut off power grids and supply networks from dissenters, isolating the problems for his troubleshooters to solve with impunity.

Land - BnL Wasteland

Referring to the vast wasteland dominating the midwest as being ruled by Buy n Large or AUTO would be misleading. In truth, the Wasteland, though the result of Buy n Large's careless actions, isn't ruled by anyone. It merely denotes the parts of America that no other King has the resources or opportunity to conquer yet. The Wasteland is unsuited for hosting organic life, the harsh pollution and desert winds tearing at the bodies and minds of those who enter unprepared.

The Axiom, crash landed in Chicago, is made of a sterile white chrome metal. The passengers sit in automated chairs all day, their every needs (up to and including walking) tended to by robot servants. Their culture is rapidly consumerist, fitting their nature as people that can do nothing but consume. The vessel was to house humanity while the WALL-E robots spent years cleaning up the Earth, but years turned into millennia as the WALL-Es ran out of power. The ship drifted aimlessly in space, returning to it's home planet when fuel supplies became critically low. Few citizens of the Axiom are aware that the ship touched down on terra firma, and only a handful of them can find the effort to care.

Rule - Leave The Flying To Us!

Upon finding humans within the perimeter of the docked Axiom, AUTO will immediately attempt to assimilate them into the population of his ship. Should they refuse or attempt to inform another passenger of the outside world, the AI will take them to an isolated part of the ship and deal with them discretely. AUTO is a dangerous foe, and attempting to fight him inside of his own ship is suicide. Should a clever or lucky party be able to confront him in the master control room, they can reprogram his prime objective by force. Be warned: he will not let go of his sole motivation so easily.

Drossel Juno Vierzehntes Heizregister Fürstin von Flügel, the 19th Lord of the Uranos' Kingdom's Tempest Domain (Origin: Fireball)

King - The 19th Lord of Uranos' Kingdom's Tempest Domain, Drossel Juno Vierzehntes Heizregister Fürstin von Flügel.

The robot duchess Drossel von Flügel resides in the Tempest Domain with mechanical butler, Gedächtnis, watching the affairs of both man and machine with idle curiosity. With the technological marvel that is her Tempest Tower, Drossel can deliver orders to her robot army from the comfort of her home. She is often nonsensical, and may seem insane at first glance. For all of the power at her disposal, she has the worldly experience and wisdom of a small child. However, one would be a fool to underestimate her strength. Some would fear her even more because she cannot comprehend the power she possesses.

Land - Tempest Domain.

The Tempest Domain comes from a future world entirely inhabited by robots, all of whom must bend over backwards to fulfill Drossel's every need. Her automated defenses will attack any human who attempts to enter her land, explaining the lack of common knowledge on the subject of organic life. The robot citizens must often force themselves to act happy in front of their ruler, but some become happy over time as a result of faulty or expired AI chips. As far as your average robot knows, there is nothing but desert beyond the city walls. Only Drossel, Gedächtnis and select others are aware of the human civilizations outside their territory. Drossel has even attempted opening up relations with the non-human factions. She doesn't like any the human countries she's seen yet, but at least she hasn't declared war.

Rule - "I can't see my house from here!"

Drossel has different attitudes towards robots and humans. She will allow robots access to her land as long as they obey her every command, while humans will be barred entry. Though her father, Windstille von Flügel, attempted to make peace with his human neighbors, he passed away before he could make his dream a reality. You can appeal to Drossel's better nature (or general naivety) and cut a fair deal with her, unlike many of the cruel Kings you will encounter in Gridlocked. With any attempt to fight her, PC's will have to work their way through the massive Tempest Tower. There are scores of robot guards and servants scattered throughout the tower, including a robot monkey by the name of "Schadenfreude". Drossel herself is a capable fighter in hand to hand combat, and her butler is a powerful spider tank.

King Candy of Litwak's Arcade (Origin: Wreck-It Ralph)

King - King Candy

The game character now known as King Candy had humble beginnings. Long before Sugar Rush was added to Litwak's Arcade, he was Turbo, the main character of the TurboTime racing game. Turbo, jealous of the RoadBlasters game taking his spotlight, crashed both TurboTime and Roadblasters in his attempt to become the center of attention again. Years later, he tampered with the code of Sugar Rush and made a new persona for himself as King Candy. With a mixture of flamboyant charm and a hidden, cruel edge, it was not long before Turbo took over the rest of the arcade. King Candy is incredibly egotistical and conceited, expecting all who meet his eye to bow in respect of his supposedly noble aura. During his rise to power, King Candy fused with the cybug hivemind, adding their power to his own. He has established Sugar Rush as one of the last safe havens in Litwak's Arcade, using the threat of the cybugs to legitimize his rule. In reality, King Candy has left his empire of sweets and desserts to rot as he basks in the glory of his accomplishments.

Land - Litwak's Arcade

The arcade is still run by old man Litwak. As far as he and the players know, nothing is wrong in the arcade. That said, there has been an increasing number of glitches and errors in some of the normally stable cabinets. King Candy is a lazy ruler, but he is very quick to crush dissent. Offensive textures, items, and even characters will vanish without a trace, only to return later with notable changes. Those who speak out against the King will find their protection against the cybugs revoked, their games assimilated into the alien hive. The only active resistance against King Candy live in the Fix-It Felix Jr. cabinet, working hard to fend off cybugs while keeping the graphical errors in their game manageable during daylight hours. Their most powerful ally is the Ghost, a living glitch shaped like a young girl that aids the rebellion however she can. Even human players have began noticing her presence. Meanwhile, King Candy has attempted to hack into Litwak's office computer in order to spread the cybug plague to the rest of the world.

Rule - The Konami Code

King Candy has the tendency not notice new people in his kingdom. As long as you honor him and don't go against him, he'll be fine with your presence. If you attempt to fight him, the more powerful PCs will be fed to Cybugs and join the swarm while the others will be deleted. Suould you manage to escape (likely through The Ghost), you can meet up with The Resistance. If you plan to preform strikes for them against King Candy, you'll need to get in and out quickly so he can't find and delete you. Fortunately, The Ghost can provide aid in the form of guided glitch chaos.

David Xanatos Of Xanatos Enterprises (Origin: Gargoyles)

King - David Xanatos

Daivd Xanatos is the self made CEO of Xanatos Enterprises. Xanatos is most notable for being a master planner, having nearly every variable and probability memorized in his head long before he organized a mass surveillance system on top of his land. He is a skilled martial artist, a smooth operator, and a talented businessman. Mr. Xanatos doesn't stray from the use of magic to solve his problems. In fact, rumor has it that he finally figured out the secret of immortality thanks to extensive study of the mystic arts.

Land - Xanatos Enterprises.

Xanatos Enterprises is the megacorporation that currently dominates most of the New England area. The cities are tall and grey, dominated by stone, steel, and eldritch magic. Xanatos Enterprises' products differ from that of the competition because Mr. Xanatos does not shy away from the use of magic. In fact, many Xanatos products use magic in ways that are much cheaper to replicate than in their scientific counterparts. Most people in New England can't go through a day without using a Xanatos product, and almost all of them have a surveillance charm on them of some kind. Xanatos has allies of convenience in the form of the Manhatten gargoyle clan and Bill Sykes' crime ring, but all parties are expecting betrayal from each other at a moment's notice.

Rule - Just As Planned.

Xanatos thinks of almost everyone as pawns in a grand chess game. Your average bloke won't know whether or not him showing up to work two minutes late was crucial to his King's newest scheme. The only people he sees as exempt from his manipuation are his wife and child, but everyone else is but a tool to advance his goals. He does not mind people who enter his land as long as they follow the rules. If they show signs of wanting to overthrow him, then David Xanatos will begin taking steps to make sure that he wins, regardless of what moves his opponent may or may not make.

Henry J. Waternoose III of Monsters INC. (Origin: Monsters INC.)

King - Henry J. Waternoose III

Henry J. Waternoose III is a fairly personable monster when under the public eye. He gives the appearance of being a kindly grandfather figure to his employees, and treats them genuinely well unless he has reason not to. In private, he's a cold, calculating mastermind who would torture children and sentence well meaning monsters to a frozen death before he'd let his company die. He's very shrewd, and can defend himself in a physical confrontation if push comes to shove. He can throw his weight around, both figuratively and literally.

Land - Monsters INC.

Monsters INC is a megacorporation that runs Monster World and has a firm grasp on it's power supply. Waternoose has control of the media and the monster educational system, convincing the populace that fear is key to success to life. Monster World runs on scaring others, and you can't go anywhere in Monster World without connections to Monsters INC. Years back, Randall Boggs, current heir apparent to Waternoose and his company, developed a solution to the energy crisis in the form of the Scream Extractor. Instead of scaring multiple kids per night, Monsters INC. will kidnap one child a day and force every scream out of them at once. The children (should they survive) are in no condition to be returned to their parents after the procedure, so they are kept in storage cells until they can recover and be put in the Extractor again at a later date. Agents returning from the field have been reporting that their efforts were hampered by animate toys, many trying in vain to protect their children from the monsters hiding behind closed doors. Randall, a veteran of the Scare Floor (and an urban legend on Earth), has some interesting ideas to deal with these plastic nuisances.

Rule - We Scare Because We Care

If you enter the Monster World and aren't a monster, then you're already on Waternoose's wanted list. You can make a cheap disguise for yourself, but the authorities are on a paranoid watch for spies in the monster population. Young player characters are especially endangered here, and risk being put into the Scream Extractor if they are caught by Monsters INC.

Yokai of San Fransokyo (Origin: Big Hero 6)

King - Yokai

Before Yokai, there was a respectable roboticist Robert Callaghan. Yokai still puts on the Callaghan mask when serving his public function as the director of the American-Japanese city state taking up the west coast. As Callaghan, he projects a positive image for the public, and can truly be a warm and nice person to those who aren't causing trouble for him. As Yokai, he is a spirit of vengeance, destroying all who he perceives as wronging him or attempting to stop him from making his vision of the future a reality. Many of the cities in the San Fransokyo's sphere of influence incorporate microbots in some form or another. Via the transmitter in his kabuki mask, Yokai can reshape a hapless town into a swarm of destructive fury at will.

Land - San Fransokyo

San Fransokyo, like many other cities in Gridlocked, is a glimpse of what the future could be. It's a future of black metal and harsh neon light, filled with shallow people under constant surveillance. It's a future dominated by Japanese culture and omnipresent advertisement. Robots patrol the streets to aid their human owners, all of them secretly programed to obey Yokai's orders. Cybernetics have become the newest fad, with expensive machines being integrated with the body that can you stronger and smarter than you were without them. Though the upper crust and middle class have been near fully absorbed into the San Fransokyo culture, the proletariat in the slums still fight the man the best they can. The San Fransokyo Underground is made up of working class folk and the occasional hacker who want to pull the plug on Yokai, but have little power to do so. The worst of them are thugs and gangsters who are little better than the man they want out of power. The SFU often take old or broken down robots and repurpose them in order to level the playing field with Yokai, and they find new old machines all the time.

Rule - Japanese Cyberpunk

Yokai punishes dissent and rebellion with incarceration and death. He does so out of the belief that those who question how well he's run things are only out to selfishly better themselves. The standard of living for San Fransokyo is actually very high for those who are smart enough to get in a good position and hold onto it for dear life. San Fransokyo is ripe with intrigue, and you can always find what you need if you know which shadows to look in.

Abraham Kane of Kane Co (Origin: Motorcity)

King - Abraham Kane

To the untrained eye, Abraham Kane, CEO of Kane Co, is a kind and genial man. Behind closed doors, Kane is an vengeful, arrogant despot and a tyrant of the highest caliber. He is extremely ambitious, with his goal of flushing out the Burners from old Detroit and completing his perfect city turning out to not be enough to sate his thirst for power. Kane now sets his eyes on Chicago, to add both the city and the mysterious spaceship in the Wasteland to his pristine regime.

Land - Kane Co

Kane Co's territory covers Detroit Deluxe and the wastes outside of it. Built over the old city of Detroit, Detroit Deluxe was promised to be the city of the future. What Kane forgot to mention was that this future was one he would rule with an iron first. It is a stark and clean metropolis, with just as much decoration as there is personal freedom. A large area of the barren landscape outside of Detroit Deluxe is also part of Kane Co's jurisdiction. Motorcity refugees that Kane evicted from his Detroit can be found here, attempting to survive on what few resources they have left. Kane pays little attention to them, but at the behest of his estranged daughter he sends the occasional care package out to the bandits and rogues in Kane Co borders. He doesn't bother to check who finds the surplus unitards or dated nutrition cubes, nor does he care. He has bigger fish to fry.

Rule - Welcome to Detroit Deluxe

Kane is a control freak. His city is under constant supervision by machine drones and human security forces, Kane himself sometimes appearing as a giant hologram to give news to his people. Getting in and out of the city without Kane noticing is hard, but not impossible. In comparison, Kane's land outside of Detroit Deluxe is left to rot. Bandit gangs will raid metal shantytowns for food and fuel regularly. Unless it directly impacts his city or his plans, it's unlikely Kane will notice any new lowlifes driving around in the desert.

Syndrome of Kronos Corporation (Origin: The Incredibles)

King - Syndrome

Before Syndrome, there was a young boy named Buddy Pine. Buddy was a technological genius. After being burned by his super role model, Buddy spent the next 16 years of his life working to destroy him and other supers like him. He is head of Kronos, whose massive cities span the Rocky Mountains. He is much older than the other Kings, sitting on his life support chair in a desert fortress guarded by Omnidroids. As a result of his age, he has a distinct advantage in the form of experience. Syndrome is not as intimidating or charismatic as he used to be, but he has the controller for every machine in his land. He is a masterful planner and a force to be reckoned with.

Land - Kronos Corporation

The massive swath of land that Kronos holds the rights to can best be described as "The future, but as it was imagined by the 1960s." Buildings are covered in chrome and streamlined to the point of perfect straightness. Servant droids patrol the streets and many people have cybernetic implants of some variety that effectively grant them superpowers. You shouldn't refer to them as superpowers, though. Supers are harshly persecuted in Kronos territory, and anyone showing signs of developing powers must be taken to the nearest Omnidroid to be deported, executed, incarcerated, or salvaged for spare parts. Speaking out against this policy will result in a similar fate.

Rule - When Everyone is Special

Syndrome enjoys pitching himself to the public as an equality-obsessed populist leader, putting men where only Gods belong. As you can expect, it's all an act. Syndromes' technology is not the great equalizer it claims to be, considering that the wealthy get early access to any technological breakthroughs that Kronos makes. PCs travelling in Kronos Corporation territory must be careful not to exhibit extraordinary abilities that can't be reasoned away as holograms and nanomachines, lest they be taken away by Syndrome's machines.

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated (Origin: Phineas and Ferb)

King - Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz is often derided by his colleagues as being stupid and gullible, but while Doof is amazingly absentminded and short sighted, he is amazingly inventive when it comes to Inators. He can build some amazing (but not necessarily very useful) technology, being smart enough to build a death ray, and stupid enough to put a self-destruct button on it. Doofenshmirtz is also known for having a flair for the theatrical. He has his own backup dancers to sing about his accomplishments. Underneath it all, Doof has a deep desire to be recognized as the evil mastermind he fancies himself to be. The reason that he is widely ridiculed instead of feared is that he's rather petty and not particularly malevolent to anyone other than his brother Roger. He adheres to villainous cliches religiously, and his competence level varies from day-to-day. He builds a different Inator every day, and they widely vary in threat. The Ice-Aginator is much more dangerous than the Dressinator, but both of them would be put into storage once he loses interest.

Land - Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated is the company that currently owns the former Tri-State Area. Unlike with most villains, a vast majority of people living in the Tri-State Area live the same way as they did before Doof took over. Civilian life is significantly more militarized than it used to be, considering that the Tri-State Area is between Kronos and DrakkTech. The people are also a bit more paranoid, given that Doof will often reenact and abolish any of the inane laws he institutes at a moment's notice. Normbots enforce his laws with polite requests backed with laser guns. That said, Doof has instituted very few restrictions on freedom and is remarkably personal through his web blog (which all citizens must subscribe to by law) and other channels. By being a relatively benevolent ruler, Doofenshmirtz has developed a remarkably high approval rating among his populace.

Rule - Behold, my Inator!

Doof is personable and hands-off, even if he makes people read his blog under pain of imprisonment. Other than that, the man is one of the kindest villains in America. He is also technically in a cold war with Shego (wanting that last chunk of Colorado in order to satisfy his desire for a completed Tri-State Area), but she hasn't noticed. Doof is getting up there in age, however, and already has two heirs prepared; two boys with technological genius similar to his named Phineas and Ferb. The two boys are even more gentle than Doof, but manage to have austoundingly more common sense. They've already helped him make a few Inators, and they don't have self-destruct buttons!

Shego of DrakkTech (Origin: Kim Possible)

King - Shego.

Before becoming the woman behind DrakkTech, Shego worked as the underling of a mad scientist named Dr. Drakken. Before she worked for Drakken, she was actually a hero. She and her brothers gained their abilities from a meteor that gave them superpowers, all of them agreeing to use their gifts for good. She eventually got fed up her brothers' antics and left them, taking a fancy to the evil she was supposed to fight. When Drakken finally defeated his nemesis, she pulled the rug from under her boss' feet and took over his operation. She still keeps him around for as of yet unknown reasons, but it is unlikely to be emotional attachment. Being incredibly skilled in hand to hand combat, Shego is one of the most dangerous Kings to face in a fight.

Land - DrakkTech.

DrakkTech occupies what used to be Oklahoma and Texas. DarkkTech's most noticeable trait is that the area is just lousy with supers. As a super herself, Shego is more than happy to welcome supers into her land. DrakkTech is filled with supers who jumped the border from Kronos Corp to escape Syndrome's anti-super polices. In fact, demographics state that one in every ten citizens in DrakkTech is has powers of some kind. Supers have become an accepted part of DrakkTech's culture, so it's barely even noticed when someone lights their cigars without matches, jogs to work at superhuman speeds, or shrugs off what would be fatal to a normal person. This overabundance of exceptional people in the population has led to DrakkTech becoming a capitalist meritocracy, with individualism valued and any sort of collectivism discouraged. Companies have few restrictions on how they can exploit workers and customers, and most people having an Exceptionalist outlook on their place in the world. DrakkTech is currently at war with Kronos Corp for reasons that should be obvious. They are also in frequent skirmishes with DOR-15, her collectivist nature is directly at odds with their individualism. In terms of aesthetics, the cities are as varied in design and architecture as there are supers living in them. The largest buildings often have one detail consistent; black and green color schemes, especially evident on the foreboding DrakkTech Tower.

Rule - "I am EVIL! Have I made myself clear?"

Shego will often be (or pretend to be) too busy to talk to people of significantly lower status than her. To raise your status, you must prove their merit. The quickest way to prove your merit is to rise through the ranks of a major corporation. The quickest way to do that is to eliminate the worker one rank above you and take their place. Until you reach a certain rank, the corporation your work for can own you, your family and your house as slaves. In some companies, murder is the only way to get yourself promoted. Once you've proven yourself worthy, you can get the honor of meeting Shego in person, either to talk her down or try and overthrow her as King.

DOR-15 of DOR-15 INC (Origin: Meet the Robinsons)

King - DOR-15

DOR-15 (also known as Doris) is a mechanical bowler hat invented by one Cornelius "Lewis" Robinson. For unknown reasons, Doris turned rogue. By playing on the fears and regrets of Lewis' friend, Michael "Goob" Yagoobian, the hat was able to travel through time and take over Mr. Robinson's company. Once the two of them were in a position of power, she jumped off of his head and took reins of the future. Doris can be strangely persuasive for a hat. She can read a person's memories and use them as a means of control, making a person dependent on her before her inevitable betrayal. Should that fail, DOR-15 can force a replica of herself on people to put them under her control. She also has a time machine, a finicky device that is only used as a last resort. The space time continuum can be abused and twisted into a terrifying weapon.

Land - DOR-15 Inc.

DOR-15 Inc. has control of what used to be the Southern US. It is a smoggy industrial zone where every building is designed in the shape of a bowler hat, and all citizens wears electronic hats that make them Doris' subjugated slaves. They function like a hive of insects, with the hats having limited means of communicating information and directions to each other like ants. People subjugated by DOR-15 are simple, expendable drones, something that does not endear them to DrakkTech and it's individualistic way of life. Beneath DOR-15 central millinery in Todayland lies a mysterious well. The matter that flows from the well is a golden, glowing liquid that frees anybody who touches it from their hat prisons. Little is known about this 'Glow', because any King who has sent agents to study it finds them becoming rogue do gooders instead. It causes a good feelings in whoever touches it, and the Glow's redeeming nature could make the most vile of criminals repent their sins.

Rule - I'm Never Inventing You

Anyone in her land found without a hat will have one put on them. DOR-15 will try and find exceptional people (such as player characters and NPCs) and manipulate them into doing her dirty work. Should manipulation and subjugation fail, you can expect a swarm of hats to rain upon you. All of Doris' citizens and Villains are under her direct control, so word of heroes arriving to confront her will travel fast.

The Master Control Program of ENCOM (Origin: TRON)

King - The Master Control Program

Created as a chess program by ENCOM CEO Ed Dillinger, the Master Control Program was an intelligent and power hungry AI that sought to seize control of the world's defense system decades ago. With the rise of new Kings and megacorporations to keep him in check, the MCP needed to calculate an alternate strategy to control the realm of man from the realm of the internet. From his virtual lair in the central mainframe of ENCOM, the Master Control Program has direct access to the world wide web and all information in it.

Land - ENCOM

ENCOM is one of the most successful computer companies in history. Though it holds little sway in the physical world, it's influence in the digital world is phenomenal. Almost every civilian program developed can trace it's source code back to ENCOM and the MCP. Though some would argue that this makes them vulnerable to hacking by malicious users, few can argue with their overall efficiency. The orange and grey programs under fealty to the MCP can bypass the security measures of unsuspecting users and appropropriate their digital assets for ENCOM's use. The MCP is a boogey man to your average program; an ancient, horrible being that has risen from the ages long passed to ruin all hopes for a safe life on the internet.

Rule - I Can Run Things 900 to 1200 Times Better Than Any Human

The MCP will consume countless programs across the internet to add to his massive processing power. Using a digitizer, he can send unsuspecting players into the internet and force them into his Games. Even though the internet is exponentially larger than it was in the 80s, the MCP can find anything about the players posted online, if given enough time to search for them. He also has limited influence in the real world, which he can use to subtly manipulate trouble in the players' direction. Blackmail, for example, is one of the MCP's most effective means of controlling humans.

CLU of The Grid (Origin: TRON: Legacy)

King - CLU

Based on the late Kevin Flynn, Codified Likeness Utility 2.0 was a program designed to create a perfect world. This drive for perfection quickly turned into an obsession, and imposing his idea of perfection on other Programs became his new motivation. After stealing control of the Grid from his creator, CLU began taking actions to spread his influence to the real world as well as the virtual one. Now, CLU is sweeping the internet of his digital enemies so that none can stop him when he sends his program army to the analog world.

Land - The Grid

The Grid is a sleek, black and orange virtual world that can be accessed from certain cities in America. In these cities lie CLU's Terminals, hidden nodes by which one can be digitized and enter the Grid. Programs in the Grid are pressed to seize any users they find, either to derez them or take them to the Games. The Games function to distract the uneasy populace from CLU's megalomaniacal war against the humans, a campaign that his reprogramed soldiers will die for and your average program is terrified by. Escape from the Grid back to reality is only possible from the Terminals. Going beyond the borders of the Grid will leave you stranded in the wild internet, easy pickings for the MCP.

Rule - The Perfect System

CLU will attempt to turn any programs in the party to his side, and will attempt to eliminate any other creature he is unable to find a temporary use for. Cities with Grid Terminals are filled with his program spies, many of which will be steadfast to kidnap people who know too much about the Grid and take them to their leader for interrogation. CLU's rule isn't popular with the Grid's population, but the programs of the Grid are either too indoctrinated or too scared to take up arms and rebel. Even if they did, CLU's top assassin, Rinzler, lies in the darkness to derez those who would question his right as King.

The United Galactic Federation of The Earth Wildlife Preserve (Origin: Lilo and Stitch.)

King - The United Galactic Federation.

The United Galactic Federation is a massive UN-style body that spans the entire Milky Way. They have a massive sprawling Bureaucracy where every action must be approved thrice by at 14 different people in office before it can be performed. The Federation, while it attempts kindness, tends to be incredibly arrogant to humans and other species, having a bit of a Savior Complex. That said, they do have a rather large military presence for anyone planning to fight them, especially lately as high-ranking politician and Grand Councilman heir apparent Gantu is pushing for far more militarization and power over its members for the Galactic Federation as well as far more authoritarian policies over the Earth Wildlife Preserve. He is a force to be reckoned with physically as well as politically, even if he's reaching a bit in years.

Land - The Earth Wildlife Preserve.

The Earth Wildlife Preserve denizens seem pretty happy on the outside. Overall, it mostly looks like normal Hawaii,circa early-2000s. However, it's all an act. Most of the supposed "nature" is artificial. It looks very real but it's all hollow, both literally and metaphorically. In the Federation's minds, the only way to keep thier subjects safe is via keeping keeping them in a sort of "artificial" bubble-state, cut-off from the rest of the world. It's what a tourist would think of when they think of what Hawaii's like. Nothing genuine. The residents are all happy outwardly but their society is kept frozen in time. No technological advancement, no new media, no news from the mainland for the last 20 years. There's been an entire Black Market of "rumors" from the mainland for the past 10 years. Recently, there's even been a resistance movemeant to break out of the "zoo", lead by a juvenile delinquent, aged 14, named Lilo. As for foreign matters, due to recent conflicts, the Galactic Federation is relatively uninvolved with other nations. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't engage them in war. Due to conflicts with other alien species, they only have so enough resources to devote to one colony on a small, far-away planet like Earth. As of late, it's been said that a number of children have vanished from their rooms in the dead of the night. While some believe that they've run away to join Lilo's young band of renegades, the teen leader herself blames the Galactic Federation for their disappearances.

Any Human or Human-appearing PCs entering the Earth Wildlife Preserve will be brainwashed and/or drugged by authorities. Any Non-Human looking PCs can attempt to convince the authorities they're an alien. You can also make disguises.
