It's the distant future. Humans have traversed the nearby planets. On Jupiter, we found a unstable element called skilltonium. It's atomic structure changed to fit with any other element put in the nearby area, so it is highly valued. When we surfaced the first batch of skilltonium, it bonded with the dirt and iron, creating fiends, who were deformed and presummed brainless. But then it caught sight of the skilltonium, and consumed the first miners and the first batch. From then on, we've been in a war with these creatures, utilizing the skilltonium to bolster our own abilities.
The tech.
When earth's natural resources started to dwindle, we found a way to convert earth to data. We did so, and now earth contains portals in and out of this data world. Only things not created by the data can travel through these portals, because anything made of data dissipates into the portal itself, destroying it. Because everything on earth is data, anything is possible on it. As such, it became a "Hub world" of sorts, for humans to come back to, to relax, sell treasures found on other planets, and to socialize.
The planets.
Mercury - fiends traveled to this planet, overtaking the human population and enhancing their fire related abilities.
Venus - tamed by humans, but inhabited by fiends here and there, this world has become a new earth of sorts. Most human here dislike the data world of earth.
Mars - dubbed, "the discovery planet," tests of all sorts are done here by scientists, because it offers a wide variety of habitats. Fiends here have been tamed, and occasionally work with the scientists.
Jupiter - Battles rage day and night here. Fiends and miners do war continuously for the precious skilltonium. Only for the brave of heart or dumb of mind.
Saturn - only inhabited by fiends, due to the fact that the rings somehow block out portals. No one knows what happens here or beyond this point.
The skilltonium.
Skilltonium had an interesting effect on humans. It bonds with them, and changes their abilities, their skills, based on the personality of the bonded human. Small doses slightly enhance anything, but large doses tend to cause insanity, giantism, and rage. These behemoth humans are forced to leave earth. If they retain any brain function, they tend to become rulers of fiend clans.

You shoot from the top of the mountain, right in the open. Your rifle makes a piercing noise as the beam finds its target. The chieften is hit, but the shot merely dazes him. Two fiends quickly step in front of him, while the other three begin scaling the mountain to attack you. What now?

A guard sees the shot coming, and dies for his chieften. The three others are about halfway up now. You have just enough time for two shots.

You hit the last remaining guard, but the chieften is no longer dazed, and hides behind the overgrown bush you saw as a location for cover earlier. You then shoot and kill two of the guards with bullet burst, but the third shot misses. The fiend comes up and slugs you across the face, dealing 12 dmg. You: 88/100, fiend 20/20.

You're supposed to make these flips by the way.
.5 turns of blind = Tails
if heads: you deal 12 dmg and its your turn again, with the chieften movie to the next patch of cover. You 88/100, fiend 8/20
If tails, you deal 12 dmg, then the fiend punches you in the gut for 8 dmg. The chieften stays back. You: 80/100 Fiend 8/20

OOC: because of your weapon stats. Hunting knives don't pierce fiend hide too well, but an electric shock/superheated blast will kill, especially to the head. Also, your class weapon proficiency.
IC: You kill him, and now the chieften is upon you. You take a quick glance behind you and notice a drop off, just the right angle for sliding down. Alternatively, you could stand and fight, or run down the front of the mountain, as the chieften isn't too quick.
