So, recently, one of the old Guild's longest running RP's, Multiverse: You are the Character, ran into a lot of shit not long after moving to its own site due to the domain provider, and because of that it nearly died. We managed to get onto another site since we couldn't move back to the Guild at the time, since all this happened during Guildfall, but it has now slowed to a crawl. So here we are again, back to where it all started for a semi-fresh start.

Basically, the concept of Multiverse is fairly simple: you find a roleplay here on the Guild, but there's a twist: once you sign up, you're pulled into the internet itself to gather the pieces of a shattered artifact known as the Crucible of Worlds. During Multiverse's nearly four years of running, it ended up bloated and convoluted, which likely contributed to its current state. Here, we're wiping everything and starting anew with a lameass excuse for why things are different this time around. Oh, and did I mention we're starting after the events of the first run while assuming we managed to actually finish? No need to be familiar with the events of the original, though, since it means nothing due to the digital Multiverse, as the Internet is called here, literally rebooting itself at the end of the previous crisis. Yup, there's the lameass excuse I mentioned earlier. This means that, later on, if either me or Grandsword decide it'd be interesting, we could pull some timey wimey shit and draw from the previous one, in which case everything you need will be thrown in your face for you to process. No, I'm kidding, we won't pull any kind of timey wimey shit like that since it would mean drawing from the bloated lore of the original.

Anyone moving in from the original is welcome to bring in any of their original characters in the same state as when we left off due to the fact that we used the Crucible to become physical entities. We're going off the assumption that we completed the Crucible because we found out that all pieces were actually already found, we came together, fought the other factions, and then got over our differences to stop the bigger threat. The Crucible was completed in this time, and when we defeated the Entity and used the power of the Crucible, Phaaze stole it and we went and stopped it. No power progression occurred in the real world. Feel free to nab your sheets from the board on Xanje. If you never were on the current version of the setup, or at least part of the original, you won't know what I'm talking about anyway so don't worry about trying to understand it, because it has no impact of any kind on you.

If this seemed like a bit of a ramble, sorry, I'm just excited this can get a chance to keep going and I haven't slept for almost 24 hours.

So, any takers on this reboot of an awesome roleplay?

This sounds pretty damn cool. Can I see a Cs?

certainly.

This is the sheet used for a standard Avatar character. Avatars are people from the real Multiverse sucked into the digital Multiverse by the Crucible (in other words, they were sucked into the internet itself). Avatars are the most sensitive to Crucible energy, able to absorb it like a sponge.

Username: (Your username, not your screen name. Use the name you log in with. If you have multiple characters, then list that you are the one controlling them. This clears up the confusion of a different username being listed.)

Character nickname: (What everyone will call you.)

Gender:

Appearance:

Personality: (This should, ideally, be your real life personality, though we have had instances where the character partially, or completely, takes over, whether instantly or over time. Sometimes the character and the player mixed, and the player took over after a while. And, sometimes, the personalities split apart and become separate. However, personality is also entirely optional and we could always find out in play.)

Alignment: (Protagonist, antagonist, or neutral. This only applies to the three major groups.)

Skills: (Include both before and after being sucked into Cyberspace)

Powers: (I'd assume this is only after being sucked into Cyberspace)

Equipment: (All non-power/non-skill crucible/starter stuff goes here)

Other:

Password: (Check the thread titled "What is Multiverse?" in the main board. The password is there. Veteran members should already know the rules and password.)

Thanks! This look fantastic !

I'm... Somewhat interested, but I'm finding the pitch a little confusing. ^^; Also, how are powers worked out? And what kind of limits are there?

i'll post a cs to show the standard power level.

That wasn't exactly what I was asking. ^^; I meant more what the basis for powers were, like, do we make them up or are they taken from some source or something? And the character sheet makes reference to a difference between character and player which is a bit confusing, too. ^^;

Then again, I guess that would probably answer those questions too so um yeah.

You can pull them from wherever you like. Make them up or pull from any franchise you want. I forgot to mention that in an ideal circumstance your avatar on RPGuild is what your character ends up basically looking like. If it's an actual character (like with mine) it can sometimes overcome the original person's personality.

Hum, that's a bit unfortunate, since I don't want to change my avatar right now but I don't want my character to end up looking like Roxie. And, um... Hmmmm.

...I'll think about this a bit, I guess, although I at least have power ideas. Mostly stemming from me being a Kamen Rider fangirl but we'll see.

Like I said, it's in an ideal circumstance. If you want to use something else, you're welcome to.

Although thinking about it, making her look like Roxie would be somewhat amusing... And now I am feeling conflicted. XD Oh well, hopefully I'll get something up sooner or later.

and kal, i'm fixing to bring the CS i was sitting on before things went south. so, brace for a slight CS dump.

Um, possible interest. Just checking, do the appearance and powers have to come from the same character?

I'm happy with my guy looking like my pic sounds neat.

No, powers don't have to be canon to the character. However, they should be grounded in the character's history/known abilities.

...That kind of comes off as "no, but yes". ^^;

Hum, and I was starting to like the idea of Roxie-Rin... But I don't really want my powers to basically be "has a Koffing and a Whirlipede", so I guess that's that idea out the window. ^^;

I think what he's trying to say is that any non-canon powers should fit the character thematically. Meaning Roxie could have poison or music based powers.

Kinda interested in this, but I'm also hoping we don't literally have to play our current avatar. Playing as God would be pretty useless.

If that's the case, then... Maybe. There's probably a few things I'd actually want to use in this kind of situation that would work, but we'll see. Because using the best gym leader's appearance would be really fun. XD

You have my interest the moment I saw the title.
