[@Rilla] Would my mercenary shop idea thing work in this multiverse or no?

Yeah, it's kind of the only place a shop would work effectively.

I was wondering if the multiverse would work better along more traditional RPG lines, rather than everyone jumping in immediately with a wide smattering of different tiers and strengths they enter with low tier characters with the potential to improve. I could see it either being more effective and enjoyable to have everyone start around a low tier level or overly limiting, depending on the types of characters people play.

Considering guns and swords have also yet to be reconciled my input would be to place the world in medieval fantasy as well to suit the widest range of character designs (also in my opinion providing the most interesting characters for Arena fighting) though this is just brainstorming at the moment. 

Meanwhile players can maintain their own continuities outside of this relatively small world that may interact with the (enter hub here) without directly effecting the lower level characters or killing them off.
