| - It's 2008, in the lonely deserts of Nevada. A team of desert-based terrorists invade a remote government research station, hoping to steal some supplies for a secret project. They cut off communications, barricade the exits, and start clearing the base. Unfortunately, the base just happens to be staffed completely by Badasses. Darwin's Soldiers is an online Science Fiction/furry RP trilogy set primarily in Pelvanida Base, Nevada. Most of the story is written on the Gang of Five forum, with a few unfinished RPs on Furtopia. Other than the RPs, GOF user LettuceBacon&Tomato has written numerous tie-in stories that are also considered canon. The Darwin's Soldiers universe includes:
* Darwin's Soldiers (Furtopia) - the first attempt at a Darwin's Soldiers RP. Chronicles a terrorist attack on Pelvanida Base, and how the scientists fight back. Never finished, and canonically considered the Anti-Matter universe.
* Darwin's Soldiers (Gang of Five) - After the failure of the first RP, the creator Serris reposted the same concept on another forum. This one took off.
* Darwin's Soldiers (rebooted) - an attempt to reboot the RP on Furtopia, but like its predecessor ended up dwindling and dying. Featured several differences from the original, notably expies for Dragonstorm and Dr. Shelton, and babyfur elements. For this reason, its creator dislikes it, and it's considered non-canon.
* Survival of the Fittest - The sequel to the Gang of Five RP. Set shortly after the events of the first RP, it tells the story of the surviving scientists breaking back into Pelvanida to stop an illegal underground project called Dragonstorm.
* Disruptive Selection - The third RP. The scientists learn about more Dragonstorm locations and search the West Coast to eliminate the remainders of the project. Note that when this TV Tropes article refers to the first, second, or third RPs, it's talking about the Gang Of Five ones. The other two are commonly referred to as "The Furtopia RP" or "The rebooted/second Furtopia RP. In addition, tie in stories include:
* Card of Ten:Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato before there was even talk of a second RP, Card of Ten was one of Serris' motivations to start Survival of the Fittest (and he even considers its existence his Crowning Moment of Awesome). Set immediately after the first RP, it tells of a team of scientists who travel through the Einstein-Rosen Bridge to another universe and become trapped, and try to find a way home.
* Schrodinger's Prisoners - Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato. Set before the first RP, it tells the story of LB&T's character Dr. Shelton as he test runs a virtual reality machine which turns out to have malicious programming.
* Pavlov's Checkmate - Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato. Set after the third RP, and tells the story of how the survivors from Card of Ten met up with the survivors from Disruptive Selection.
* Darwin's Soldiers drabbles - a scattering of short stories written by Serris that take place in the Darwin's Soldiers universe, of varying canon. One of them is a Darwin's Soldiers/Land Before Time crossover.
* Nietzsche's Soldiers:Will to Power - Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato. Set between the second and third RPs, tells the story of Drs. Shelton and Kerzach undercover in the Dragonstorm ranks.
* Fool's Gold - Written by Serris. Details Dr. Kerzach's career at a Dragonstorm refinery and what he finds there.
* Aftermath - A one-off written by StarfallRaptor detailing the fates of his characters.
* Ship of State - Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato. A sequel to Card of Ten, detailing what happens to Hans and Werner, who were left behind in the original story.
* Nietzsche's Soldiers 2 - Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato. Follows a team of Dragonstorm commandos sent to Alaska to see why Dragonstorm's energy provider stopped sending shipments.
* New Divide - Written by MrDrake. It details Hailey's time in Trinity Facility and delves into the backstory of who Old Mother Hubbard is.
* Zero Hour - Written by MrDrake. Follows the lives of Viper and Zara, two Dragonstorm experiments based in New York City.
* Gamer - Written by MrDrake. A prequel story where Hailey gets trapped in a virtual reality machine by a rival.
* Nietzsche's Soldiers 3: Super Men - Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato. Chronicles the founding of Dragonstorm as a club in the fictional University of California Three Rivers (UC3R).
* Ground One - Written by LettuceBacon&Tomato. Another sequel to Card of Ten, following the teammates left behind in the anti-matter universe. Both Serris, LB&T, and several of the other writers are tropers, which might explain the prevalence of tropes, sometimes even invoked by name. Since it's a role-play, it now fittingly has a character sheet. Go here for the wiki, which is currently under construction.
