Long ago someone asked me what I thought my Combat Heroes JoeVerse would look like. I thought about it on several occasions, but never until now stopped to write it down. I also figured I could borrow some help from other Tankers on developing it, both with serious ideas and less serious ones.
Think of the theme as Toy Story meets GI Joe. Please read and tell me what you would add. And have fun with it :)
"GI Joe is the code name for our playroom's daring, Highly trained special mission force. It's purpose: to defend toy freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the house!"
Some color for the Verse:
President Flashgrunt is commander in cheif of the playroom. He's a respected veteran who lost both thumbs in Grenada, as well as his original head. He's a no-nonsense, straight shooting, straight armer who respects the combat heroes for their fighting spirit, and shares a kinship with them in their lack of better articulation.
Cobra Commander has watched many toys come and go. Once happy to be one of many toys, he now believes that in order to prevent himself from being fodder for eBay or garage sales that he must arrange mishaps for all the other toys of the house. In his twisted mind, if those toys are broken or lost, then he becomes the most secure toy in the house because he is one step closer to being the ONLY toy in the house. To that end he has memsmerized the one called "The Old Man", who continually recruits new members to his Cobra legions from the same eBay that would consume all the toys.
GI Joe inhabits the same fortress their parents did in '83. Though worn, the fortress still serves as the ultimate command center. From there, they monitor house wide activities and keep the home safe for all the toys. Sources claim that the same old man who recruits for Cobra also occassionally brings a new Joe to join the team. President Flashgrunt has repeatedly denied this tie.
While GI Joe and Cobra fight for the Playroom, Zartan rules the basement. He and his Drednoks live among the spiders and subsist on terrorizing the toys in old boxes. They have made their own domain out of the recycling bin, and are not above chucking those they don't like right in with the 2 liter bottles.
