	In the beginning, they were a only a part of stories.  Their were no sightings of actually moving cartoons.  Some became very popular.  The likes of Little Orphan Annie and L'il Abner were legends in the world of the comic characters.
	Shortly after the advent of motion pictures, there were sightings of actually moving cartoon characters.  A few bands of characters became very successful.  Other bands were not as successful as these bands but had their own measure of success.  Feature length films and short films became the world of these groups.  The legends tried to survive in this new world but did not have what it took to survive.  Visiting a movie theater would bring you to the realm of the new cartoon characters.
	Not long after the emergence of these new forms, a dark cloud began to cover the cartoon world.  The cartoon world itself could not detect the emergence of this cloud, but the enemies of these cartoons help spread this deadly plague.  The deadly force created a new world that the cartoon world would find irresistible.  The enemies of the cartoon world called this new world "television".  The cartoons tried to adapt to the this new medium, but it was a great struggle.  Many did not make it, but it did almost foretell the end for all cartoon creatures.
	The dark time has fallen on the cartoon world.  There was a long struggle.  Some legendary cartoon figures did well in this new world, but they were changed.  They altered themselves to make it in this hostile world, but everyone could tell that they had changed.
	New cartoons began showing their faces.  This new breed of character adapted itself to this world.  This new cartoon showed the cartoon world that it could conquer the world of television.  It would take a different type of tactic to succeed in this world.  These new characters learned about these tactics slowly, but they caught on well.  Soon, there were cartoons spreading slowly across the small screen.
	However, there were new cartoon closely related to the old bands that formed early.  They became increasingly aware of the evil forces that nearly wiped out all of the cartoon world.  These Animaniacs decided to take over the "real" world.  This way, these evil forces could be dealt with directly.
	These Animaniacs disagreed on the best way to take over the world, so each of them amassed great allies.  Rita gathered all the cats of the many worlds.  Even some "real" cats agreed to join her.  Runt gathered the dogs and any allies of these dogs that would come.  The rodents, and other small creatures joined Binky.  The Brain gathered all the elements that he could muster.  Slappy and the Warners gathered a "Pun-derful" array of heroes to help in their conquering the world.
	With a new technology, they managed to create armies from one of the old bands.  The Looney Toons became a very powerful group of armies, and the world could be conquered if they could gather together enough resources of the cartoon world.  With the ruins of the various Scooby Doo adventures, and some other "Pun-derful" temples, holds, and crypts, these Animaniacs thought it would be helpful to gather the many cities of the cartoon realm.  These cities would be found in both the original cartoon realm and the vast new cartoon world.  All villainy had better be wary of the Animaniacs and their allies.
