World

Over a hundred years ago vast spaceships sent from Earth crashed into this hostile planet in an event that came to be known as “The Big Fall”. The humans that had been traveling on theses ships had hoped to find a better life, instead they woke up to hot suns and never-ending dunes of sand. The planet has only a small collection of natural plant and animal life, including the tomas, which were quickly domesticated by humans, the massive worms that live in the sands, and a collection of sentient insects that once ruled over the planet before humans stepped foot on it.

Originally humans called this place “Gunsmoke” but the name was changed to the more appropriate “No Man’s Land”.

Culture

No Man’s Land has a very limited government, as it is mostly made up of small run down towns with only a handul oflarger cities (which are named after the months in a year). The government has a hard time reaching across the vast spaces between these settlements. The culture is very similar to the Old West of American history. The people rely on local sheriff or law enforcement to keep the order and some towns seem to be nearly lawless. Every settlement relies heavily on the powerful Plants that survived the Big Fall. These Plants provide the energy needed to keep any technology running. The technology in this world is limited, though they have vehicles and electricity, anything more advanced than this is considered to be “lost technology”.

The exception is the one SeeDs ship that remained floating for the century. The people who lived in this ship retained knowledge of how to use and create the technology that lead to the creation of the Plants and the ships, though for a long time they remained separate from the rest of the world. Eventually the people in this ship were able to contact Earth once again, and since then humanity’s home planet has established some kind of limited authority on the desert planet, though its influence is minimal at best. Plants are the center of life for humans, all cities and towns have at least one Plant (the bigger the city the more Plants needed to keep it running).

Religion is not as big of an influence in this world, where most people have lost faith and hope, though there is a notable church called The Eye of Michael, which worships Plants as gods and has some kind of dark influence over the history of the world. People do accept “priest” as a profession and respect “holy men” but it usually is on a superficial level.

The average people are obsessed with stories of Vash the Stampede, the first man labeled as a natural catastrophe, and a radio show dedicated to his life quickly became the highest rated show on the air. Before that, men and women loved to swap stories of the feats of the Humanoid Typhoon over drinks at the local saloon or during work to make the time go faster.

Powers

Powers in this world are varied, though most of them can be traced to rigorous training or drug influence, some of them seem innate to that person. The Eye of Michael also created super human soldiers/assassins using drugs and training, which gave the subject increased strength, healing, and other vital abilities. A group known as the Gung-Ho Guns also possessed other strange and notable abilities, each unique to the person who possessed them.

The creatures with the most power are the Plants, though in the history of Gunsmoke only two Plants with individual personalities lived among the sands, each possessed enough power to destroy cities in a matter of seconds.
