Ocean Punk: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[One Piece]]''

* The ''Wave Walkers'' trilogy by Kai Meyer.

 

* [[The Crystal Maze]] replaced the [[Industrial Ghetto|Industrial Zone]] with the Ocean Zone in later seasons - a Titanic-style sunken ocean liner trapped within an air bubble on the ocean's floor.

* ''[[Storm World]]'' is a juvenile SF series set on a world where the inhabitants (all sucked there through wormholes) are constantly at odds because of the scarcity of land, and above all fresh water.

* ''[[SeaQuest DSV|Sea Quest DSV]]''

 

* FASA [[Traveller]] module ''Rescue on Galatea''. The main action takes place on the [[Ocean Planet]] Galatea.

* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' module ''Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits''. One of the alternate worlds accessible from Lolth's Web was the [[Ocean Planet]] "The Great Ocean". The human inhabitants "sail the ocean in great catamarans to carry the trade of their vast mercantile empire from island city to island city."

* ''[[Rifts]]'' World Book 7: ''Rifts Underseas'' - [[Pirate]]s, [[Powered Armor]]-wearing Dolphins, Shapeshifting Orcas, giant squid [[Eldritch Abomination]]s with tentacles miles long, fish-headed mutants, magic singing, playable Humpback Whales, floating cities, Extradimensional aquatic conquerors, and the U.S. Navy, among others. Actually pretty par for the course for ''Rifts''.

* Owing to the fact that the Elemental Pole of Water is located there, this tends to be the theme of any ''[[Exalted]]'' campaign set in the West. Common hazards include: Cannibalistic demon pirates, water and air elementals, ornery storm deities, aquatic variants of [[The Fair Folk]], [[Magitek]] [[Lost Technology]] battleships (some of which [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|may be sentient]]), gigantic sharks, crazed Wyld mutants, various tribes of aquatic Beastmen and the Lunars who rule them, malevolent [[The Necrocracy|empires of the dead]]...In fact, according to the Sidereals splatbook, the Convention of Water is the single most overworked group of Sidereals in existence. Considering that the job of the Sidereals is to keep Creation from going to pieces, this should tell you a lot about the West.

 

* ''[[Bionicle]]'''s Mahri Nui arc took place in an underwater setting, complete with [[Fish People]], underwater vehicles and robots, a sunken city, [[Eldritch Abomination]]-like sea monsters, and vampiric squid.

* ''[[LEGO Pirates]]'' was a more historical take on the trope, but still [[Culture Chop Suey|generic enough]] to qualify.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* ''[[Suikoden IV]]'' featured a setting like this, though it was set in an island country rather than a flooded world.

* ''[[Mega Man Legends]]'': "In a world covered by endless water..."

* ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]'' episode "The Ambergris Element" took place on the water world Argo.

* ''[[Jabberjaw]]'' is set in a future where the ocean floor has been colonized.
