Back when the plains were dust and rubble, a time when nothing lived and nothing died, 200 eyes watched down upon the world in the body of 100 stars. Now, these stars all had an idea of how the fledgling earth should look, so they all went about making the changes they wanted, and dear lordy, the world went through an almighty change as mountains rose from rocks, rivers flowed from droplets and grass spread across the plains faster then horny rabbits reproducing. Each Star had their say, in some form or another but it was the foolishness of two stars that made the greatest change of them all, as they gave birth the first creatures, one was the mother to all animals with the other being the father to all beasts. All manner of creatures, critters, creepers and crustaceans sprung up across the earth, faster than the stars could change the world to contain them, and before long, the earth belonged to the creatures, so the eldest, wisest and bravest star went down to earth to right the wrong that had happened, and before long, all the other 99 stars joined them. The almighty stars became the first cowboys, as they tamed the world of beast and animals, but this took no time at all, as is fitting for the work of stars and a time of peace came, but of course, this could not last, as it was at this time that the stars truly perfected the art of cowboying, but some noticed, that there were those who exceeded others, so the world was thrown into a frenzy again as the stars challenged and fought each other, some in healthy competition and others out of spite. So the first cowboy took a piece of each star's power and forged them into badges, which just so happened to be in the shape of stars and it was then that they created the CCC, The Constellation Cowboy Competition. The rules were straight, whoever bested the other won, and in the beginning there were many events, but nowadays, as y'all know theres only the showdown. So each star competed and fought, once again changing the shape of the earth, and in the end each star's badge was branded from 1 to 100 and the first cowboy declared that, "only those below a cowboy may challenge their superior". The No.1 didn't stay there for long, as all the stars forever challenged one another, sticking to the rules of course, and in time gods, demi gods, demons, angels and saints joined the ranked, even some humans were good enough to become a CCCCowboy, and there was healthy sport and challenge for 100 years, until a day when the ranks ceased to move and no new cowboy joined.
