Side Storylines

Torn Earth is home to several canonical stories that follow along, around, beyond, or behind the main storyline: usually including certain characters, introducing others, or just taking place somewhere totally different, yet still mattering in the entirety of the series.
The following is a composed list of known side series, alphabetized.
= The Stories =
==Broken Britain==
Broken Britain, BB, once known as TROTW ('The Rest of The World') is a tale of a family of brothers residing in the United Kingdom that turn out to become the patient zeros of The (Red Beast Virus) Outbreak of 2040. Pacing their way through malicious characters hunting them down, and unanswered questions, they struggle to remain together, and retain their humanity.
==Five At Night Floppy's==
Five At Night Floppy's, or more grammatically correct Five Nights at Floppy's is an obvious ripoff of Five Nights at Freddy's, an indie horror game created within the decade. Being that the creators were young and easily influenced, they created something similar but still original enough to be countable as its own thing. FANF details the life of two security guards who deal with paranormal animatronics and mysterious psychopaths.
Frankly the only reason this is still 'canon' is the fact that Floppy himself and now-known Prototype 15 originate from the series, amongst a few other characters.
==Happy Zombie Apocalypse==
Happy Zombie Apocalypse, abbreviated 'HZA', is a three part series of tales of a large plethora of side characters that would later be incorporated into the main storyline. The series, as per hinted by the name, is about a viral infection that causes people to become happy- too happy. They are so happy that they want to make everyone else happy, which of course spirals out of control.
Surprisingly, the Happy Zombies themselves actually only last until HZA 2, but the cast remains in chronicles.
==Jerry And Harry==
On a level of technicality, the majority of the J&H stories would fall under 'Extended Lore', but many of them happen separately as an explanation of the actions of the two brothers Jerry and Harry Karlstat.
Jerry and Harry get several episodes to themselves, where they go on various adventures off by themselves whilst the main crew hangs out doing whatever else in the main story. Usually, they fill in space between seasons or other moments to give readers hints at what's going on beyond the main story.
== Khaosa (Roleplay) ==
Khaosa is a mixed genre of Modern-Post-Apoc, Sci-Fi, Survival-Horror Discord roleplay that features another pocket dimension in a reality where the force of might destroy all things. It is explained as such:
"The year is 1337.
In a world known as Ubu, where Predator eats Prey: a continent finds itself exhausted by centuries of Eternal War.
Now, the mighty forces of the Predator Territory look to destroy absolutely all that remains of their inferior Prey counterparts; enslave their children, devour their eldest, but the fight is not yet over..."
==Mike Bob n Friends==
Mike and Bob is an extremely stupid series that exists as a comedic relief to the Torn Earth world, as characters Mike and Bob are known to have appeared as cameos or fill-ins in the backgrounds of the more serious bits of Torn Earth.
Their story is told on roughly 175 flash cards of sheer stupid comedy, amongst other things, before they are both killed (and later resurrected) in an alternate dimension of Torn Earth where the universe explodes.
==The Database Stories==
The Database is a reference to the computer systems of the USDCD later into the future, specifically within a terminal system in what is known as 'Base 275' that predominantly play through after the events of The Drop. Amongst them are several digital games that are listed down here in the order that they existed.
The games are listed in the canon's chronological order:

== The Land of Glonabia (Roleplay) (CONCLUDED) ==
LoG is a medieval-esque roleplay taking place in a pocket dimension where a silly little world of mythical creatures battle it out. The description explains as such:
"The year is 1223.
Glonabia suffers at the hands of a neighboring aggressor.
After the horrible rising of The Legion out from the lands of Opriabia and Betron, civil strife strikes the nations as war embroils the Western countries since 1210, right on the border of Glonabia.
Now, The Legion sets its eyes on Glonabia itself, looking to put to end the kingdoms of the lands once and for all..."
The roleplay was concluded on a hard note by the end of 2022, being important to the Thomas & Skrand storyline now.
==Torn Earth: 2042 (Roleplay) (CONCLUDED)==
Torn Earth: 2042, is a roleplay made by Epik Berm that takes place in the year 2042, a pinnacle point of the story in Europe after The Outbreak of 2040, and the start of World War 3 in 2026. The timeframe, as described by the creator, can be summed up like this:
"In 2030, the world would be forever changed with the uprising of a terrible tyranny known as the Overthrough Empire, which had slowly been gathering its forces in the prior decades. During their bloodshed of minor European countries, a lethal and viral outbreak, simply known as The Outbreak of 2040, with the spread of the ‘Red Beast Virus’ would rampage across the British Islands, and spread onto the European mainland, in which was taken advantage of and was used as a tool to further the conquests of other nations by The Empire. In the heat of the fire, larger nations such as Germany and Italy took to arms and defended their homelands from waves of Red Beasts and soldiers alike. The battles have raged on for a decade, but we stop here at 2042; the peak of the Red Beast outbreak."
The roleplay is hosted over on Discord, where players can create characters of different races and backgrounds, usually either in Germany, where they battle it out against warring nations, or in the United Kingdom, where fight against Red Beasts, which allows them to thrust themselves somewhere into the setting of the decade.
More information about this topic can be found on the Discord, or other parts of the wiki that have to do with events between 2016-2045.
This roleplay has been concluded. (But is still open to players already in it.)
==Torn Earth: 2105 (Roleplay) (CANCELLED)==
Like its more successful brother, Torn Earth: 2105, is another roleplay created by Epik Berm that instead takes place in the year 2105, a falling action of total nuclear armageddon of the United States after the events of The Drop in 2100. The timeframe, as described by the creator, can be summed up like this:
"In 2100, an event now known as ‘The Drop’ occurred on the North American continent, completely rendering the United States a useless nuclear wasteland. Those who survived, numbered in the ten thousands, struggled through the first few years. First, survivors suffered terrible unending freezes and blizzards in 2101, freezing hundreds to death. Next, a terrible national drought brought ruin to those who survived in 2102, causing further damage, and rocking the grave status to thousands of casualties. With the nearing of the end of the year, however, terrible deformed creatures began popping up all about the nation; creatures that had begun suffering radiation damage in their lineage of genetics. And furthermore, on top of that, a new and terrible species, now named the ‘Blooze’, rose up in the West to challenge the survivors, and by 2103, had spread throughout all of the nation, terrorizing those who survived..." 
He goes on to explain the next 3 years.
The roleplay is also hosted over on Discord, where players can create survivors or other creatures that lurk in the wastelands of America.
More information about this topic can be found on the Discord, or other parts of the wiki that have to do with events between 2080-2110.
This roleplay has been cancelled.
== Thomas and Skrand ==
Thomas and Skrand is a small and brief mini-series of a young knight and an equally young dragon that brave what is most likely the American Mid West together against the ravenous hordes of Kazoo People, among the likes.
Despite all of the very weird quirks of the series, it is still counted as canon due to the existence of a link made to the dragon post-creation. Their story is elaborated upon in several different chapters, and a newly running roleplay that takes place in a different universe.
