It was brought over to the United States from Denmark by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, and produced by [[4Kids Productions]] and [[Bardel Entertainment]]. The trading card game will come out early 2007 (the original launch date of May 16th has been pushed back to June 27th to ensure the best user experience possible)[http://www.chaoticgameplus.com/chaoticnews.htm"[1]].

Also, show codes can be put in at [http://www.chaoticcode.com www.chaoticcode.com]. |
|||
'''Chaotic''' was originally a Danish [[trading card game]]. It expanded to an [[online game]] in America which then became a television program based on the game. The program aired on [[4Kids TV]] (Fox affiliates, nationwide), [[Jetix]], [[The CW4Kids]], [[Cartoon Network]] and [[Disney XD]]. It was brought over to the United States from Denmark by Bryan C. Gannon and Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, and produced by Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, [[4Kids Productions]] and [[Bardel Entertainment]]. The trading card game came out 6 September 2006 in the U.S. and Canada. |
|||
==History== |
|||
Chaotic started out as a trading card game known as "Grolls and Gorks"<ref>http://www.danauktion.net/auctiondetails.php?id=48942</ref> and an idea for a cartoon series of the same name by Merlin P. Mann, in December 2000, to be produced by Solit Entertainment. Although, the name of the manuscript was changed to Chaotic in early 2001 assuming that was it was submitted <ref>http://www.fictionaut.dk/new-cv.htm</ref>.But before a single episode was even made, Dracco Company Ltd. bought the rights to Chaotic from Solit Entertainment. In the original storyline, it featured [[Tom Majors]] and [[Kaz Kalinkas]], only that they were enemies, instead of friends as in the 4kids animated series. Dracco Company Ltd. with Apex Marketing then created the online version of the game and established the basic universe of Chaotic. In September of 2003 trading card Executive Bryan C. Gannon signed a world wide Licensing and Distribution agreement with Henrik Andersen and his brother Jacob at Dracco to bring the Chaotic game to North America and to the world. Gannon created Chaotic USA Entertainment Group and licensed the patented technology from Cornerstone Patent Technologies, LLC to bring the property up to the standards required for a global brand. He teamed with John Milito and in 2006, 4Kids Entertainment signed a Joint Marketing Agreement with Chaotic USA Entertainment to produce the Cartoon and bring the property to market, both on TV and for licensed products. When 4kids Entertainment teamed with Chaotic USA,the work of CUSA was continued and included many additional improvements. The original cards were redesigned (and some renamed) along with the online game platform to give it a more mature look as well as the creation of a new animated series (with redesigned versions of Tom and Kaz) to promote the game. CUSA has been developing the online game experience for Chaotic named ChaoticGame.com. |

Each card comes with a unique code which the owner can upload onto the Chaotic website.<ref>[http://www.chaoticgame.com/ Chaotic game]. Chaotic game. Retrieved on 6 November 2011.</ref> This allows the owner to trade and play online using their own card collection. The game was well known to be the only game with a TV show, an online game, and a TCG that were all integrated. However, the online game is currently closed. |
|||
==Central Plot Points== |
|||
''Chaotic'' (the TV show) tells the tale of a teenage boy named Tom and his friends. The kids all play the Chaotic [[Trading Card]]/[[Online Game]]. While playing online each of the kids receive a special password. When they enter the password into their game scanners they are transported to a place called Chaotic that is able to take them to another world where the characters, locations and items in the card game come to life. |
|||
== History == |
|||
There are two parts to the Chaotic world, Chaotic itself and Perim. Chaotic is where the kids play an advanced version of the card/online game where they transform into the creatures. The games can be watched via monitor by other players. |

The second part is Perim. In Perim the creatures, locations and items from the game are real. Players from the Chaotic game can teleport into Perim and scan the locations, creatures and items with their scanners, gaining the ability to use them in their game. There are 4 tribes in Perim. Two tribes, the Overworld and the Underworld, have been at war over a great power called the Cothica. The other two tribes are the Danians and the Mipedians. The Danians are insect creatures that live in a base known as Mount Pillar, in the Underworld. Mipedians are reptilian creatures in the Overworld with the ability to turn invisible. |

Both Chaotic and Perim are made up of a mysterious code, called the "Chaotic Code" which describes everything. The reason for its name is because the code constantly changes in random ways, thus it is considered 'chaotic'. In Perim, it contains the information for all the creatures, battlegear, attacks, mugix, and locations. The Cothica, mentioned above, is the source of all the codes in Perim. In Chaotic, the code describes everything just like in Perim. However in Chaotic, BattleDromes, Transporters, and CodeScanners can analyze and/or modify this code for matches, transport, or creation of virtual cards. |

The TV series is based on the storyline of the original Chaotic TCG. The main protagonist is a teenager named Tom, whose friend Kaz constantly tells him of his adventures in Chaotic. Tom, who believes that Chaotic is only a card game, thinks that Kaz is making things up, until he entered a [[password]] he received from the game, transporting him to the world of Chaotic. It was then Tom knew that Kaz wasn't lying. In Chaotic, he also met some new friends, like the courageous Sarah and the comic Peyton, and new enemies, like the arrogant duo Klay and Krystella. |
|||
When the kids are in Chaotic/Perim they exist simultaneously on Earth. When a Chaotic player leaves Chaotic they become one person again and the Earth version of the player gains the memories of anything they experienced in the Chaotic world or Perim. This is awkward the first time they transport, as their deck is in Chaotic, causing many people to believe they have broken their scanners. |
|||
Players in Chaotic go to Perim, scan new creatures and use them to battle. In Perim, Tom also got to meet many creatures, including his favorite, Maxxor. The battles between players take place in dromes, which are virtual battles where players become the creatures they choose and fight for the right to battle against the drome master (code master). In Perim, the four tribes are currently at war for the Cothica, the power that controls all of Perim. In the second season, the fifth tribe, the M'arrillians, escapes from the Doors of the Deepmines and takes over the other four tribes by brainwashing other creatures. The second season featured true cel animation and manga/anime-styled artwork. Season three, although subtitled "Secrets of the Lost City," was actually a set of differently themed mini-stories, only a few episodes of which involved the so-called "Lost City". |

== Episode Information == |
|||
A short preview was shown on [[4Kids TV]] on [[September 30]] [[2006]] at 10:30 am (ET) before an episode of ''[[Viva Pinata (TV series)|Viva Piñata]]''.

{{Main|Chaotic Trading Card Game}} |
|||
In the Chaotic Trading Card Game there are 5 different types of cards: Creatures, {{Langr|msc|Battlegear}}, Attacks, Mugic, and Locations. Creatures are the cards players control to do battle. {{Langr|msc|Battlegear}} is a specific item each creature is equipped with when it starts battle. Attacks are exactly that, they are used to do damage to the opponent's creatures. Mugic is a combination of music and magic, it is used by creatures who have mugic counters. Locations are the places where creatures can battle at, they are all places in Perim. |

==Chaotic creatures== |

|||
{{main|List of Chaotic items}} |
|||
There are many Creatures in the World of Perim.<ref>http://chaotic.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Creatures</ref> These can be scanned and used by Chaotic players, during fights in BattleDromes. |
|||
There are five tribes of creatures in Chaotic: OverWorld, UnderWorld, Danian, Mipedian and M'arrillian. The OverWorld is a tribe made of various humanoid creatures and creatures which resemble real animals. The UnderWorld is a tribe which consists of creatures which resemble various monsters. Danians are usually made to resemble ants but there are some creatures based on other insects found within the tribe. Mipedians are a tribe which is made of creatures who resemble various lizards. The M'arrillians are a tribe which resembles various deep sea creatures, some of which have a transparent appearance such as that found in a jellyfish. |
|||
==Official Rules== |
|||
The game is played by two players who control an army of creatures. The object of the game is to lower the energy of that player's opponent's creatures to 0 by way of attacks, mugic, or creature abilities. The game can be played with a varying amount of creatures in each army (1vs1, 3vs3, 6vs6, 10vs10) and with a varying amount of complexity. The game can be played in the advanced apprentice ruleset where no mugic is used and combat is only attacks. Masters is the next step up where mugic and activated abilities are used. Masters games take longer and require full knowledge of the rules. |
|||
===Battle Teams=== |
|||
Battle Teams can be set up in one of seven different sizes: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, or 28. The player would then place these creatures face up in the formation of an inverted triangle (with the 'base' of the two triangles formed placed against each other). |
|||
The rules of Chaotic are basic; each player starts the game with his creatures face-down and their {{Langr|msc|battlegear}} face-down as well. When the game begins the creatures are flipped up and the {{Langr|msc|battlegear}} which indicates to do so is as well. There can only be two of the same card in each army, unless specified as otherwise, cards that are limited to one per army are called unique. When the game begins the starting player (which can be chosen by who is the youngest, a coin toss, etc.) starts by flipping their top location card face-up. The other player then can move a creature to an unoccupied space on the mat, or move a creature into an opponent's occupied space. Doing this will initiate combat, this is the only way to defeat a player's opponent's creatures in advanced apprentice seeing as no mugic or abilities are used. When combat begins the players see which creature has gained initiative, initiative is dependent on the location and the creatures that are battling in that location. Initiative can be anything from a stat to a certain tribe or an element. The player with the initiative gets to play the first attack. |
|||
*Movement: Creatures can move into another space on the playing mat. When a creature's card is moved into a space already occupied by an opponent's creature, a battle occurs. Creatures can only be moved to the spaces closest to them. Some creatures have effects on their movement. |
|||
Each player starts the game with an attack deck of 20 attacks and the game is started with 2 of these attacks in the hand, at the beginning of each player's turn during combat an attack is drawn. The attack cards each have build points which when added up equal 20. This prevents the hogging of good cards. During a player's turn they must play an attack, which sends it to the discard pile. By playing attacks the player decreases the energy of the opponent's creature. This is the key to winning the game. |
|||
===Battlegear=== |
|||
Each creature on your team will be allowed to have 1 battlegear. Each creature can only use his or her own gear, so if the creature is destroyed in battle, both the creature and the battlegear card are discarded. Battlegear is placed under your creature face down, when the creature is engaged in a battle, the gear is flipped over and revealed. |
|||
== References == |
|||
===Location Deck=== |
|||
{{reflist}} |
|||
The player would need to build a 10-card location deck. Decks would be shuffled and placed face down. When it is the player's turn to select a location, he or she would just flip over the top card of their location deck. |
|||
===Attack Deck=== |
|||
Damage is dealt through the use of attack cards. Each player must have a 20-card attack deck, which is shuffled and placed face down. Each player will draw 2 attack cards at the beginning of the game, and always have at least 2 attack cards in their hand at all times. When it is a player's turn to attack they draw a 3rd attack card and select one of the 3 attack cards to play. A player must play an attack card during each of their turns. Damage to creature is calculated by the following equation. |
|||
The difference between the attacks of the player and the opponent is the damage inflicted on the creature that dealt the latter damage. |
|||
*Total Damage dealt with 1 attack card = Base Damage + Elemental Damage + Attack card Text Box Damage + Creature Card Text Box Damage + Battlegear Damage (If applicable) + Location Damage (If applicable) |
|||
===Mugic=== |
|||
The number of mugic cards the player selects is based on the number of creatures on the battle team. Mugic cards are held in the player's hand with the attack cards. |
|||
===Winning=== |
|||
The player must destroy all of the opponent's creatures. |
|||
===Other rules=== |
|||
The Rule of Two: Some cards have been labeled 'unique' and only one can be in the player's deck. An example of this is a Maxxor or Chaor card. |

Chaotic was originally a Danish trading card game. It expanded to an online game in America which then became a television program based on the game. The program aired on 4Kids TV (Fox affiliates, nationwide), Jetix, The CW4Kids, Cartoon Network and Disney XD. It was brought over to the United States from Denmark by Bryan C. Gannon and Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, and produced by Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, 4Kids Productions and Bardel Entertainment. The trading card game came out 6 September 2006 in the U.S. and Canada.
Each card comes with a unique code which the owner can upload onto the Chaotic website.[1] This allows the owner to trade and play online using their own card collection. The game was well known to be the only game with a TV show, an online game, and a TCG that were all integrated. However, the online game is currently closed.
History[edit]
Chaotic started out as a trading card game known as "Grolls and Gorks"[2] and an idea for a cartoon series of the same name co-authored by Merlin P. Mann, co-author of the Taynikma graphic novels, in December 2000 as 20 years, to be produced by Solit Entertainment. The name of the manuscript was changed to Chaotic in early 2001.[3] Before any episodes were made, Dracco Company Ltd. bought the rights to Chaotic from Solit Entertainment. The original storyline featured Tom Majors and Kaz Kalinkas, who were enemies, instead of friends as in the 4Kids animated series. Dracco Company Ltd. with Apex Marketing[4][5] then created the online version of the game and established the basic universe of Chaotic. In September 2003 trading card Executive Bryan C. Gannon signed a worldwide Licensing and Distribution agreement with Henrik Andersen and his brother Jacob Anderson[citation needed] at Dracco to bring the Chaotic game to North America and to the world. Gannon created Chaotic USA Entertainment Group and, in August 2005, licensed the patented technology, (US Patents 5,810,666 & 5,954,332) from Cornerstone Patent Technologies, LLC to bring the property up to the standards required for a global brand. He teamed with John Milito and in 2006, 4Kids Entertainment signed a Joint Marketing Agreement with Chaotic USA Entertainment (CUSA) to produce the cartoon and bring the property to market, both on TV and for licensed products. When 4Kids Entertainment teamed with CUSA, the work of CUSA was continued and included many additional improvements. The original cards were redesigned (and some renamed) along with the online game platform to give it a more mature look as well as the creation of a new animated series (with redesigned versions of Tom and Kaz) to promote the game. CUSA has been developing the online game experience for Chaotic named [1]. A video game called Chaotic: Shadow Warriors was released on 30 December 2009.
Sam Murakami, a 4Kids employee, and Martin Rauff, the original designer with Bryan C Gannon and TC Digital Games, adapted the card game to the U.S.[6]
Animated series[edit]
The TV series is based on the storyline of the original Chaotic TCG. The main protagonist is a teenager named Tom, whose friend Kaz constantly tells him of his adventures in Chaotic. Tom, who believes that Chaotic is only a card game, thinks that Kaz is making things up, until he entered a password he received from the game, transporting him to the world of Chaotic. It was then Tom knew that Kaz wasn't lying. In Chaotic, he also met some new friends, like the courageous Sarah and the comic Peyton, and new enemies, like the arrogant duo Klay and Krystella.
Players in Chaotic go to Perim, scan new creatures and use them to battle. In Perim, Tom also got to meet many creatures, including his favorite, Maxxor. The battles between players take place in dromes, which are virtual battles where players become the creatures they choose and fight for the right to battle against the drome master (code master). In Perim, the four tribes are currently at war for the Cothica, the power that controls all of Perim. In the second season, the fifth tribe, the M'arrillians, escapes from the Doors of the Deepmines and takes over the other four tribes by brainwashing other creatures. The second season featured true cel animation and manga/anime-styled artwork. Season three, although subtitled "Secrets of the Lost City," was actually a set of differently themed mini-stories, only a few episodes of which involved the so-called "Lost City".
Trading card game[edit]
In the Chaotic Trading Card Game there are 5 different types of cards: Creatures, Battlegear, Attacks, Mugic, and Locations. Creatures are the cards players control to do battle. Battlegear is a specific item each creature is equipped with when it starts battle. Attacks are exactly that, they are used to do damage to the opponent's creatures. Mugic is a combination of music and magic, it is used by creatures who have mugic counters. Locations are the places where creatures can battle at, they are all places in Perim.
There are five tribes of creatures in Chaotic: OverWorld, UnderWorld, Danian, Mipedian and M'arrillian. The OverWorld is a tribe made of various humanoid creatures and creatures which resemble real animals. The UnderWorld is a tribe which consists of creatures which resemble various monsters. Danians are usually made to resemble ants but there are some creatures based on other insects found within the tribe. Mipedians are a tribe which is made of creatures who resemble various lizards. The M'arrillians are a tribe which resembles various deep sea creatures, some of which have a transparent appearance such as that found in a jellyfish.
The game is played by two players who control an army of creatures. The object of the game is to lower the energy of that player's opponent's creatures to 0 by way of attacks, mugic, or creature abilities. The game can be played with a varying amount of creatures in each army (1vs1, 3vs3, 6vs6, 10vs10) and with a varying amount of complexity. The game can be played in the advanced apprentice ruleset where no mugic is used and combat is only attacks. Masters is the next step up where mugic and activated abilities are used. Masters games take longer and require full knowledge of the rules.
The rules of Chaotic are basic; each player starts the game with his creatures face-down and their battlegear face-down as well. When the game begins the creatures are flipped up and the battlegear which indicates to do so is as well. There can only be two of the same card in each army, unless specified as otherwise, cards that are limited to one per army are called unique. When the game begins the starting player (which can be chosen by who is the youngest, a coin toss, etc.) starts by flipping their top location card face-up. The other player then can move a creature to an unoccupied space on the mat, or move a creature into an opponent's occupied space. Doing this will initiate combat, this is the only way to defeat a player's opponent's creatures in advanced apprentice seeing as no mugic or abilities are used. When combat begins the players see which creature has gained initiative, initiative is dependent on the location and the creatures that are battling in that location. Initiative can be anything from a stat to a certain tribe or an element. The player with the initiative gets to play the first attack.
Each player starts the game with an attack deck of 20 attacks and the game is started with 2 of these attacks in the hand, at the beginning of each player's turn during combat an attack is drawn. The attack cards each have build points which when added up equal 20. This prevents the hogging of good cards. During a player's turn they must play an attack, which sends it to the discard pile. By playing attacks the player decreases the energy of the opponent's creature. This is the key to winning the game.
