The end of the world happened in your sleep.

...More on this man in a minute.

I've got character sheets in the works right now, and the intro is largely planned out.

All this stuff is subject to change as I develop more of the story:

The Old Triad - Originators of all monsters. They gradually took form alongside the evolution of humans and, coupled with the fear and anguish in the minds of humans, created monsters. They conduct their world order unseen and unknown to humanity. Their manifestations are made from delusion, death, and suffering.

"Anomalies" - Monsters or entities born or manifested during or as a result of the Ripping. They do not fall within the monster hierarchy; the Old Triad did not intend for their existence, and thus consider them abominations.

The Rip/Ripping - The event ending mankind as orchestrated by the Old Triad.

"Touched" - Select humans that are left or spared during the Ripping for the purpose of serving the Triad's interests and furthering their power and influence over the world. These humans do not stay human for long, gradually becoming part-monster and losing their mind and identity completely.
