CORELINE (D20 Modern/D20 BESM Setting).

[Rappy]

The Judoon now have stats up. That's one down out of that entry, two to go.

 

[marcoasalazarm]

Those are some pretty impressive stats.

 

[Dex]

How can I help?

 

[marcoasalazarm]

By taking any show you like and tosing it into the rink to see how we can add it to this cozy little madhouse (stats would be good, as well).

 

[Rappy]

Sontaran stats are up. The Clomians are giving me a little trouble, as I'm not quite sure how to translate their absorption powers into game rules just yet. Anyway, here is the system I'm going to be using for these bestiaries:

Creature Distinction
Creature Distinction lists creatures by two methods, origin and physical description. While no two individuals reach a concensus on the terminology of physical descriptions, the agreed upon origins reflect the creature's place in the universe (although it is possible, and even likely, that they have spread to or were dropped on Earth as well), and are as follows:

• Extraplanar: Creatures from a specific dimension other than ours. Examples include Digimon and NetNavis.
• Extraterrestrial (Near): Any creature native to the Milky Way Galaxy, but not to Earth. Examples include Martians and Sontarans.
• Extraterrestrial (Far): Denizens of galaxies outside of the Milky Way, such as the Star Wars galaxy. Examples include Wookiees, Zoidians, and Hollows.
• Extratemporal:Creatures from Real prehistory and history that have been revived by the CLULESS event. Examples include dinosaurs, mammoths, and Neanderthals.
• Natural (Arcane): Living creatures of Earth with supernatural connections. Examples include dragons, feykind, and dwarves.
• Natural (Other): Anything that is from Earth but doesn't fit another category, considered by some xenobiologists to be a poor choice in "dump terms". Examples include graboids and mutants.
• Technological: Cyborgs, robots, and other artificial lifeforms.
• Unliving: Earthly beings that have left the living, but not their land. Examples include zombies, Plagas-infected creatures, and vampires.

Threat Level
The following threat levels were designed by Coreline officials to keep track of potential hazards by category.

• Threat Level 1-3 (Low Threat): Creatures with a low threat level are either somewhat strong but not of immediate danger to humans out of nature or methodology, harmless without training (A.K.A. class levels) or simply weak. Examples include elves, dogs, and Judoon.
• Threat Level 4 (Threatening but Restrained): These creatures would be Mid-Level Threats if it were not for some innate flaw in their methodology or design, as well as strong Real creatures. Examples include Sontarans (due to their preference of death in battle over retreat or surrender), War of the Worlds-verse Martians (who have frightening technology but are amazingly susceptible to disease and poisons), and elephants.
• Threat Level 5-7 (Mid-Level Threat): Creatures that, through dangerous technology, powerful numbers and tactics, or sheer brute force, are innately hazardous to Reals. They are not, however, on the same threat level as certain creatures that easily overshadow even their fellow Fictions. Examples include Cybermen and "typical" giants.
• Threat Level 8 (City Sweepers): Creatures that are intensely hazardous to an area anyhwere from the size of a city to a small state. Examples include Daleks, graboids, and the Megaprimatus kong species.
• Threat Level 9 (Continent Busters): Creatures of such power that they can threaten entire continents if they are left unchecked. Examples include most daikaiju and Saiyans.
• Threat Level 10 (Planet Destroyers): Ultimate threats that pose hazardous to all life on multiple continents, or even an entire planet. Examples include King Ghidorah and Galactus.

 

[marcoasalazarm]

I think there is one Level left untouched, one that is, quite creepily, the biggest-as-heck threat there is, but so far unknown of its appropiate usage since the few examples running through Coreline (and that have not been terminated on sight) are showing some kind of restraint (be it being kept out of the loop, CLULESS sawing off their potential power, or appropiate contermeasures (like the above-mentioned termination on sight) have been taken).

THREAT LEVEL 11-12: GALAXY/UNIVERSE DESTROYERS: Exactly what it says on the tin. Threats that wipe out entire *galaxies* and *universes* off the map. Threats that all the other Levels of Threat would actually unite to destroy-if they get lucky enough to win.
Examples include reality warpers like Haruhi Suzumiya and Anthony Fremont, several versions of the Gurren-Dan (which have mecha that can *step on galaxies*, as well as the infamous 'Spiral Nemesis Scenario' ) and the Anti-Spiral Group, the Anti-Life Equation, Krona (at full power), the C'Tan (and, arguably, the Old Chaos Gods and the Neo-Chaos), et al.

While we're at it... where would Cthulhu be, then? On Level 10?

 

[Rappy]

I'd say Cthulhu is a 10. He's never really been shown to aspire to conquer the universe, has he?

Truly, is more like eat anything in it he can get his hands on. Conquer would be more the King In Yellow's thing...

Rey en Amarillo.......methinks that particular Aldebaranian planet is a glassland by now, anyway. *shrug* "Destroying his physical form does not destroy him permanently, but destroying the City and the Lake, if it could be done, would achieve that goal."

Blowing all of that up? Two words: Good Luck (because, y'know, it's a Lovecraftian Abomination we're talking about. Even if *you win*, you'll *need it*).
