Futurama WW - Day 7
Futurama WW: Episode 1 The Matron Menace
Narrator: Diva De / Co-narrator: Lex-kat
It is the 31st century in New New York City. The future is now! Flying cars, space ships, robots with artificial intelligence, a diverse culture smattered with mutants and alien species - we have it all! Nixon's head in a jar is the president of Earth, and life is (for the most part) good.
MomCorp is the thirtieth century's largest shipping and manufacturing company, with a monopoly on robots. Everyone knows Mom as a kind, loving matriarch, with her full skirts and wrinkly smiles. Why - she even has her own holiday! All the robots of the world owe their existence to her and her company's hard work.
...or do they? It seems that the inhabitants of Nintenduu 64 claim that Mom stole THEIR hard work! They hire Planet Express, Earth's cheapest (and least insured) delivery service to bring them a sampling of Earth robots so that they can study them and prove, once and for all, that Mom stole their technology.
Mom would lose BILLIONS and her company would be ruined! So of course she can't let that happen. Mom uses her robot army to surround the planet, setting up a blockade, determined to save face at any cost.
Welcome! You will be playing as either Planet Express trying to get the parts and robots to Nintenduu 64, the Neutrals trying to make it through another day, MomCorp out to protect its interests, or your everyday Earthican* hoping robots don't destroy the world.
The roles!
PLANET EXPRESS (Team Good)
SpoilerProfessor Farnsworth (Smeller*) "That evil robot Santa can't get to us here, unless any of us are stupid enough to leave this house. In a related matter, you'll all be delivering a sack of children's letters directly to Santa at his death fortress on Neptune."- Hubert J. Farnsworth (the Professor) is an old, old, OLD man in his hundred-and-sixties. The founder of Planet Express, he created the company to fund his work as a mad scientist and inventor. Something of senile genius, the Professor is as likely to babble nonsense and drool as he is to offer up helpful information. Still, his inventions, like the Smell-o-Scope, have their uses.
Phillip J. Fry (Dumb Luck*) "Pizza delivery for...I. C. Weiner. Aww... I always thought by this stage in my life I'd be the one making the crank calls."- Fry is a clumsy, good-hearted delivery guy in his 20's. While delivering a pizza on New Year's Eve 1999, he accidentally fell into a cryogenic pod and was revived in the 31st century. He works for Planet Express as he grows used to this (very) strange new world.
Turanga Leela (Sniper*) "You mean those giant brains are making everyone on Earth stupid? Oooooooooooh. Stupid-ER."- Leela is a one-eyed mutant and the captain of Planet Express. With her impressive fighting and flying skills, she seems the obvious choice for the job despite her lack of depth perception.
Bender (Extra Tough*) "Game's over, losers! I have all the money. Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves."- Bender Bending Rodriguez is a lazy, drunken robot given to theft and scams instead of work. He claims to hate all humans and generally treats them with disdain, but occasionally shows a genuine concern for Fry. Because meatbags are useful, of course.
Nibbler (Night Baner) "We live long and are celebrated poopers."- Nibbler, a Nibblonian, is Leela's pet. He poops dark matter and eats creatures far larger than himself, usually in a single gulp. Catlike and cute, his true nature as a member of the oldest species in the universe and a powerful telepath is hidden.
Amy Wong (Lover*) "Hey, let's go car shopping! My parents said if I got all B's they'd buy me a bar. And I got all C's!"- Amy is a rich, shallow, spoiled brat from Mars, heiress to a ranching fortune. She is a long-term intern at Planet Express, supposedly kept around because she shares the Professor's blood type. She is klutzy and promiscuous...at least until she meets the right man.
NEUTRALS
SpoilerHermes Conrad (Mason) "Like my granny used to say back in her tar paper shack on Montego Bay, 'If you want a box thrown into the sun, you got to do it yourself.' God rest her zombie bones"- Hermes is the workaholic Jamaican bureaucrat who keeps Planet Express in compliance. Paperwork, insurance, regulations - that's his field. He could easily be assigned to another company, but as long as he's here, he's gonna work!
Scruffy (Mason) "Scruffy's gonna die the way he lived." [Turns page of Zero-G Juggs magazine.]- Scruffy the janitor is just here to do his job. Scruffy doesn't really know the crew, and they don't really know him. He's just there to clean up their messes - and look at nudey magazines.
Dr. Zoidberg (Mason) "Fry, it's been years since medical school, so remind me. Disembowelling in your species: fatal, or non-fatal?"- Dr. Zoidberg is a lobster-esque alien from Decapod 10. Clearly inept at his job, unable to tell genders apart and frequently confusing organs - all this makes him PERFECT for Planet Express. If everyone dies, he'll move on, but as long as they're around and they have food...
URL (Peace Officer 1*) "I'm gonna get twenty-fourth century on his ass."- URL is basically a 70's soul brother inhabiting the body of a Peace Officer-bot. He makes up half of the local peace officer team and uses a lot of cliche' phrases while he beats people with his nightstick.
Smitty (Peace Officer 2*) "You're under arrest for child endangerment, depriving children of food, selling children as food, and misrepresenting the weight of livestock!"- Smitty makes up the human half of the Peace Officers. Like his partner, he too likes to beat people copiously, but his arms CAN get tired.
Kif Kroker (Lover*) "Fonfon Ru means 'one who doesn't sleep with my superior officer.' That's the literal translation!"- Kif Kroker is a quiet, squishy, amphibious alien who serves under Zapp Brannigan as his fourth lieutenant. He is shy, but very romantic. As well, he seems to be the only one who realizes what a chump Zapp is all the time. If only he could find true love...
Zapp Brannigan (Fool) "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you take your pants off and dance around a bit?"- Zapp Brannigan has SOMEHOW made it to the rank of captain. He is arrogant, stupid, and brash. He thinks only of himself - and women. Considering himself something of a Casanova, he makes sure to wear his uniform short to show off his legs.
MOM-CORP (Team Evil)
SpoilerMom (Alpha*) "I'm off to some charity BS for knocked-up teenage sluts."- On the surface, Mom is a kind, gentle elderly woman, the creator of all robots, and a matronly benefactor. With her wide skirts, rocking chair, and wrinkles, she has created an image of idealism. Behind the scenes, she is thin, greedy, and nasty. Mom is out to make the most money possible, by any means necessary. She was once married to Professor Wernstrom, but has always been in love with Professor Farnsworth.
Professor Wernstrom (Seer) "I give your invention the worst grade imaginable: an A-minus-minus!"- Professor Ogden Wernstrom is the not-so-bitter rival of Professor Farnsworth. In 2900, the Professor gave Wernstrom an A- for sloppy penmanship, and Wernstrom has spent the last 100 years attempting to exact revenge.
Walt (Wolf) "My God! This Mr. Fry must be a mastermind of the highest order!"- The oldest of Mom's sons, he idolizes her and hopes to marry a woman just like her. He also seems to be the unspoken leader of the three, exacting punishments on his brothers.
Larry (Wolf) ""Your laugh...it's so...infectious..."- Larry is the sniveling middle child, constantly apologizing and cringing.
Igner (Wolf) "Can I wear your fat suit?"- Igner is the youngest of the three sons, and seems to be the slowest mentally. He is not as articulate as his brothers, and addresses Mom as "Mommy".
Q.T. McWhiskers (Extra Tough, Wolf)- Professor Farnsworth's prize invention while at MomCorp, this cat toy shot rainbows from its eyes. Mom, however, decided to weaponize it, causing the Professor to leave the company and break up with her.
The role explanations
Spoiler~Smeller - the same as Seer, but the professor uses his Smell-o-Scope to detect someone's true identity
~Dumb Luck - Fry can be lynched just like anyone else, but if targeted for a night kill, he has a 50% chance to survive it
~Sniper - night kill ability, usable every 3 nights
~Extra Tough - thanks to a “shiny metal ass”, harder to kill (requires 2 extra votes to lynch)
~Lover - each lover, in their search for their partner, gets a nightly scry, but it only reveals whether or not that person is the other lover, once they find each other, they may share a scry every 2 nights, if one lover is auto'd the other survives but cannot scry
~Peace Officer - the police force is made up of two members, who SHARE the ability to day bane. As long as both are alive, they must agree or no one is protected, can send in target during night phase or during first 24 hours of day phase
~Alpha - Mom is the leading producer of robots worldwide, thus she is able to control them every so often using a master programming code. Every 3 days, Mom can make ALL robots vote the way she wants them to (Bender, URL, QT McWhiskers), scries as a Villager; MUST PM ROBOT VOTES DURING NIGHT PHASE BEFORE IT TAKES EFFECT
~Earthican - Villager
As a note - this game is NOT for SRS BZNZ! This game is for fun and silliness. So, NO ANTI-FUN LOGIC IN-THREAD. Also, RP IS ENCOURAGED! This is a fun setting with great characters and plenty of room to grow. I'll definitely run more in the future if interest is here. Standard 3-day-in-a-row autolynching.

Re: Futurama WW - NOW RECRUITING!
I'll play, I guess. Just a bit over the "no logic in thread" rule. I know lots of people like to RP (me too!) but some of us like the logic too! And if you just want a freeform RP, why bother setting it up as a WW game?

Re: Futurama WW - NOW RECRUITING!
I suppose I'll join, though I should really cut back on these.
"No logic" is going to be a problem though, especially since I'm so much better at throwing accusations around than I am at roleplaying.

Re: Futurama WW - NOW RECRUITING!
Logic plays a part in WW games, sure, but I just don't want the thread to get bogged down in it. If you want to make an accusation in thread, I don't want there to be a WALL O TEXT to explain it - make it silly and fun.

Re: Futurama WW - NOW RECRUITING!
If it makes people laugh/smile, sure. Illogical logic is the best kind.

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: Futurama WW - NOW RECRUITING!
PH1L-15-71N3 lazily scans the busy street below. Another day, another dollar. Except that I'm not getting paid. Of course. And don't know what I'd spend money on if I had any. Bet I could think of something, though. With a grim mental chuckle, he waits for the seconds to count down to the official beginning of rush hour. Okay... okay.. and... NOW! It's oh-so-satisfying to go red in all four directions at once, especially when traffic volume is high. Oh yeah! If I was getting paid, I could have cable run in here. Then I wouldn't have to find ways to amuse myself - like this. Suckers. I told me I could think of something, the AI traffic light thinks, filled with malicious glee.
