DICE 1 FACE 6 - The Boss
Art by: Morgan
Bio by: JohnnyGang

And now, Yay Corporations present their very own leader, The Boss! The head behind the latest tween sensations, owner of biggest oil rig in the Mexican gulf and Toy Story 3's greatest critic is here, and it seems like his agenda has set it sights to this event! So unless you can imagine a way to combat his newest expansion; step aside and skip away from his investment zone!

THEIR FOCUS SOURCES ARE:

- Flash games/animations/creators, and game franchises that started on flash
(Reimagine :the game:, Eddsworld, Fancypants Adventure, Ignorance Is Bliss)
(VVVVVV, The Binding Of Isaac, Alien Hominid, Hatoful Boyfriend)

- Media and musicians parodied in the :the game: series, and old internet culture
(Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Pac-Man, Portal 2)
(Double Rainbow, Never Gonna Give You Up, Nyan Cat, All Your Base Are Belong To Us)

- Internet, eldritch and parody horror media, as well as reference-reliant humor
(SCP Foundation, Bloodborne, Slenderman, Monster Seeking Monster)
(Robot Chicken, The Henry Stickmin Collection, The Ultimate Showdown Of Ultimate Destiny, Ready Player One)

- Valuables, business and corruption
(Here Comes The Money, Adventure Capitalist, Biggering, Material Girl)
(Bad Dance, You're Gonna Go Far Kid, Deception, Shelter [Madeon's Evil Edit])

But if they get a high enough roll, you may see something else pop up!
----------------------------------------
Hm. How curious. On the surface, this.... individual seems like just another businessman; an especially corrupt and probably inebriated one, yes, but nothing too out of the ordinary. But... There is something laying deep within him. Something dormant. Something dark. I'll have to keep my eyes on him, because chances are, this can't be good.

Wake the fuck up, Samurai, because it's time for those punks from the future to take down the bracket. Officer K was tasked with retiring the outdated replicants in his timeline, but something went wrong - so wrong, in fact, that he found himself stuck in the past. Alongside rocker boy Johnny Silverhand, they found themselves on an entirely different mission: competing in a bracket of sorts and kicking some ass in the meantime. Will they discover a sacred truth, or will this whole operation become obsolete? No matter what, let the chaos and screaming ensue.
