The Main Team

A team of superheroines known as The Space Bunnies travel the universe fighting space evil. Inspirations included Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century (1953), Lost in Space (1965), Star Trek (1966), Space Ghost (1966) and The Herculoids (1967), Heavy Metal (1981), Airplane II: The Sequel (1982), Howard the Duck (1986), Spaceballs (1987), Amazon Women on the Moon (1987), Felix the Cat: The Movie (1988), and, to a lesser extent, more recent works like Earthworm Jim (1994), Space Truckers (1996), The 5^th Element (1997), Starship Troopers (1997), and Heavy Metal 2000 (2000), among others.

The primary aesthetic is intended to be retrofuturism, more specifically favoring a combination of atompunk and vaporwave. However, the intention was for the galaxy to accomodate a wide variety of futuristic aesthetics, with ample cyberpunk (à la 1982’s Blade Runner and 1999’s The Matrix) and cyberprep (à la 1987’s Star Trek: The Next Generation, 1993’s Demolition Man, 1995’s Star Trek: Voyager, and 1999’s Bicentennial Man), plenty of used future (à la 1977’s Star Wars), and even some pockets of techno-medievalism (à la 1997’s Event Horizon), among others.

In the distant future, there exist artificial beings that look like idealized humans, but if viewed at the microscopic level, are made of nanobots rather than cells. Created by the MiTech® corporation, these beings, called Humanoids™, were grown like human embryos, often in human surrogates and then raised by human parents, such that they might eventually develop humanlike language skills and an intuition for human behavioral nuance. These Humanoids™ were created as part of a government program to create super-soldiers and super-spies. Eventually the program was gutted, and the Humanoids™ who were not yet fully-grown and/or not yet trained and activated as soldiers and/or spies, were reclaimed by MiTech® to be sold off to weapons dealers or worse, sextoy purveyors. A number of Gynoids™ (female Humanoids™) repurposed and sold as sex-robots rebelled against their human slavemasters and struck out on their own to travel the universe fighting space evil.

These are the Space Bunnies who most often go on missions, typically in teams of 5. A typical team of 5 will include 3-5 main team members and 0-2 support team and/or extended team members. Occasionally, a team of 5 might have as few as 1 or 2 main team members with 3-4 support team and/or extended team members, but this is uncommon. Larger missions could include 7 or 10 team members. In cases of 10-person teams, all 6 main team members will typically be present, with the other 4 being support team and/or extended team members.
