GURPS^1/3 Care Bears: Call of Cthulhu

Meet the Care Bears: Bedtime Bear, Cheer Bear, Good Luck Bear, and Friend Bear. There are such well known bears as Funshine Bear, Tenderheart Bear, Grumpy Bear, Wish Bear, Love-A-Lot Bear, and Secret Bear. There are even Care Bear Cousins (like Brave Heart Lion, Lotsa Heart Elephant, and Playful Heart Monkey) and Care Bear Friends (Cloud Keeper).

They all work together, watching the world from Care-a-Lot, and flying around in their cloud cars (and cycles) like little Care Bear gestapo, protecting the Earth (or at least white American children) from vile, uncaring evil. They've defeated Professor Coldheart. They've foiled the nefarious plans of Darkheart and No Heart. But a few days ago, an evil arose, deep in the shadowed heart of {location}. Each team of Care Bears left to confront this unnamed darkness. None have returned.

Enter, the Care Bear Second Cousins (AKA Care Less Bears). You are basically a Care Bear reject. It's not that you don't Care. You care quite a bit, but not necessarily about the sort of things they can show on an early morning cartoon. You join the ranks of such ill fated Bears as Myopia Bear, Lobotomy Bear, and "I'm Not Wearing Any Pants" Bear. You've heard the names of Death of a 1000 Paper Cuts Bear, and Rapid Exothermic Reaction Bear. There's even been a Dead Bear, a Francophile Bear, and for some ungodly reason, a Candy(-Ass) Bear.

Now is your chance. You can go down to {location}, solve the mystery of the missing Care Bears, save the World, and maybe even rescue them and be showered with praise and adulation by the grateful World. You can finally rise up and show everyone what it means to be a Care Bear Second Cousin! It's time for the misfits to win, or die trying.
