Welcome to RPS World
A planet locked in an eternal struggle for dominance, where the laws of nature are defined by the ancient game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
The Three Elemental Forces
Rock
Solid, dense, and unyielding, Rock forms the planet's core and towering mountain ranges. It is the foundation upon which all other life forms depend. Rock creatures are known for their strength and resilience, often found in fortified cities carved into the mountains.
Paper
Flexible and adaptable, Paper covers vast swaths of the planet's surface, creating sprawling plains and delicate, wind-blown forests. Paper creatures are known for their agility and creativity, often found in floating cities built from intricate paper structures.
Scissors
Sharp and cunning, Scissors are metallic life forms that evolved from meteoric iron. They thrive in crystalline forests and are known for their precision and intelligence. Scissor creatures are masters of strategy and often lead nomadic tribes that roam the planet.
The Laws of Combat
1
Rock Crushes Scissors
The classic rule of Rock, Paper, Scissors applies to all life on RPS World. Rock creatures possess immense strength and can crush Scissors creatures into dust, converting their metallic forms into fresh rock.
2
Scissors Cuts Paper
Scissors creatures use their sharp blades to cut through Paper creatures with deadly precision, converting their flexible forms into metallic shards that can then be assimilated into their own bodies.
3
Paper Covers Rock
Paper creatures use their flexibility to wrap around Rock creatures, gradually eroding their hard surfaces and transforming them into new paper fibers.
Mobility and Evolution
1
Static Forms
Rock creatures are often bound to the ground, forming massive mountain ranges and unyielding structures. Paper creatures are more mobile, using wind currents to travel across the vast plains and forests. Scissors creatures have the most dynamic movement, forming swarms that flit through the crystalline forests.

Mobile Forms
Some Rock creatures have developed the ability to roll, allowing them to travel across the planet's surface. Paper creatures have mastered the art of wind-riding, gliding through the air on powerful currents. Scissors creatures have evolved into agile swarms, capable of moving with great speed and precision.
3
Evolution
The constant struggle for dominance has driven the evolution of all three forms. Through "triangular selection," each creature adapts to both its prey and its predator, resulting in an ever-changing ecosystem.
