Worldeater -Fat Fur RPG-

History: 150 years ago the world was hit with a devastating blight that began to infect the world’s supply of grain. Rice, Wheat, Corn, Oats didn’t matter. All grain was almost completely destroyed. Alongside the total collapse of the agricultural industry climate change, economic strife and political turmoil led to all out war devastating most of the world.

Now, with governments destroyed and people left to fend for themselves bands of people have come through in an effort to survive the best they can.

Before the ‘Great War’ began a plethora of tech companies began to search for was to make what little food they had left more nutritious and to make their own physiology better at storing energy for long term use. This solution worked perfectly for the time, allowing people to subsist off of small amounts of food and still survive.

However, as time passed and as the world began to heal, food began to grow more abundant and soon the problems of having calorie rich foods and extremely slow metabolism began to emerge. Over time furs began to but on weight, especially in places that were able to farm. It wasn’t long until being obese became the norm and, gluttony and obesity became societal expectations.

Setting: The ruins of Atlanta, destroyed by war and the passage of time. Plants have taken over the city, covering everything in a lush green landscape. The main plant that has taken over is kudzu, an exotic plant that was imported to the south in the 1940s. It now covers old buildings, homes and streets. The locals call it the green death because it kills any plant it touches.

Most people have made their homes in the old abandoned buildings that line the streets of Atlanta, preferring to stay near the ground floor for both safety reasons and because they often get winded walking up the stairs.

Civilization: Due to the fact that every now has a genetic predisposition for obesity a lot of how civilization evolved have changed. For one, wealth and beauty are now directly linked to how much one weighs. With heavier individuals been seen as more desirable compared to skinnier people.

Activities that can highlight one’s eating prowess or their bulk have become the most popular. Things like eating competitions, sumo wrestling and belly drumming contests have become commonplace in this world.

Feasts and festival are also commonplace among this civilization, the abundance of food, their penchant for overindulge and the fact there isn’t much else to do mean that feasts happen frequently.

Raiders- Roving bands of people that pillage what they can as they go along. They are decentralized, with each tribe having different rules, goals and objectives. Some running characteristics are a punk aesthetic, overconsumption of alcohol, vulgarity and belching contests.

Rarely does an underdweller leave the safety of their dwellings, however when they do they stick out like a sore thumb. Most notable thing about underdwellers is that they are skinny. The proportion food of the shelters makes it hard for an underdweller to be overweight.

The Capital- This is a group of wealthy elites who mostly bypass the fact that the world ended. Their mission is to reconquer the wasteland and usher in a new world order.
