lore: you are a neanderthal from 95,000 B.C. you were resting in your cave with your family, having a great time, when suddently, you are transported to the modern world by some mad scientist who somehow invented a time machine.

because you do not know how to act in a modern society, you let your primal instincts take over, and you're gonna do whatever the heck you wish.

use sticks and rocks to beat everyone up, take over the country, and then the world!
