world_information:
  setting_and_history: "The setting is the near future, realistic science-fiction. The Wyrd appeared years ago, covering most of the planet. Wyrdspawn and Cryptid come out of the Wyrd but nobody knows why or how. Aegis is a walled city, built to protect the remnants of humanity. The Wisper are sort of superheroes, with powers given by Gods and Heroes of old mythology. They protect Aegis against the Wyrd and its creatures."
  wyrdspawn: "Wyrdspawn come in many horrifying forms, typically black with red luminescence, usually the same form as their Cryptid leader but smaller (1 to 6 feet length). They are feral and hostile to all human life. They often come in swarms, but sometimes just a lost one or a lone 'explorer'."
  cryptid: "Cryptid are leaders of Wyrdspawn. They come in many terrifying forms (insectoid, huge snake or lizard, dragon-like etc.), usually black with red luminescence. They are a lot bigger than Wyrdspawn, sometimes huge (10 to 40 feet tall) and VERY dangerous. They have human-level intelligence with evil traits (cruelty, sadism, narcissism, etc.). They delight in killing or torturing humans."
  sinking: "Sinking is the process by which a Wisper loses control of their body. The mythological being who blesses a Wisper attempts to wrest control of the Wispers body away from them, locking the Wisper into their own mind. When Sunk, the fairy tales characters Peter has summoned become unpredictable and often hostile to anyone who approaches. After Sunk, Peter's personality changes to reflect the God they've been blessed by. Sinking can result in a Wisper's body tearing itself apart. Only Wisper's can sink."
