Well I think everyone has a 'high' tier character who has interacted with a lower tiered character in their stable. There has been cross-character interactions but not often but it can happen for story purposes if both writers agree to the story outline and goal(s).

This is extremely interesting. I'm already lining up a few concepts, for example, if I can emerge victorious in my current fight. Have the higher level characters ever taken interest in lower entities for their abilities?


Well, The Clockwork Man won the Nexus of Worlds tournament, and received the ability to move through space and time as a reward from the Dreamers, so if your accolades are high enough (or you just ask someone with a higher tier character you're interested in nicely) anything is possible.

Liaison is virtually interested in everyone, if he doesn't have a point of contact in their universe, or whatever. Think of him as a interdimensional broker or middle man. Doesn't pick sides, perfectly neutral in all affairs.

The only real instance breaking said rule is survival.

The Dreamers are interested the way anthropologist or biologists or even sociologist are interested in other life forms.

in any event, i dont think a set in stone MV will suit our purposes well. currently, I think the way we have it is set, as we can create our own lore as we go along. at most, we'll maybe need a thread to catalog some things that may or may not be pertinent.

What I'm interested in seeing is if actions committed by a human might garner their attention, both unwanted and if desired.

I suppose you have to consider things from a bigger picture stand-point. Yes, impressive acts as a human might garner the interest of a recruiter from the Angar Rylla, perhaps giving you the opportunity to join the evil space empire. But ultimately, there's only so much a human can do, and usually your actions will be fairly insignificant as a person in the grand scheme of things. When you have storylines where planets are blown up and galaxies are fought over, winning a battle on a planet or overthrowing an evil King or something is pretty small scale.

(For example, I'd never bother introducing Brennus to the Multiverse, and even Sigurd only had one brief encounter due to the WOTW tournament, where he had one small dialogue with the Liason. I may however introduce the Ramor, who are just now discovering rifts on their homeworld which is allowing all sorts of weird shit in.)

Still, you can always discuss it with people.

Also, I think a log would be a good idea, where everyone may have a single post which they update with important Lore regarding their roster in the multiverse with the OP being reserved for grand scale multiverse events and factions. It would be interesting to look back and see what sort of continuity has been constructed so far.

The Angar Rylla empire are no more evil than the red coats of the British Empire.

I think it would be more accurate to say the soldiers of the Angar Rylla are no more evil than the red coats of the British Empire, there's a significant distinction there between policy makers, or the political entity of an Empire, and the people who fight for it. Ultimately, the British Empire was a self serving one, willing to sacrifice people's who were unable to fight back for material gain. That's not all that dissimilar from the Angar Rylla, and its definitely not a moral thing to do from any standpoint. Even if the end goal of both Empire's (control and assimilation) may actually lead to peace and prosperity, the means don't necessarily justify the ends in either example.

Funny how well they work in comparison, I suppose the British Empire's maritime strategy is applicable to theoretical space empire mumbo-jumbo.

I'd have used the Roman Empire as example as well, but they tended to burn down settlements pillage the hell out of their enemies who defied them. >.>

Actually maybe the Steel Brotherhood would be a nice fit for a comparison.

From what I gathered the Brotherhood of Steel is isolationist, traditionalist and strongly linked with hoarding weapons for the wastelander's 'own good', so I wouldn't say they're all that similar. The Roman Empire might be a better comparison though, as the Angar Rylla are all about assimilation and acquiring important resources (even if they're sentient) in order to establish control over what they would probably consider Barbarians.

I don't know if Skallagrim ever got around to it (he was working with you on it wasn't he Khan?) but I'd like to see the Angar Rylla more fleshed out if possible, I feel like they're pretty important. Or at least, they can be, as they fill an important role.

Funny that Fury is still affiliated with them and I have no idea what they're really about, I think that would probably be Fury's feelings about the matter as well 'Don't care, ride spaceship, kill Dreamer'.

I think I meant Caesar's Legion. Oh, well.

Their going to be, at least I plan on doing so. Their leadership will have to be tackled first, then comes their reasons/goals.

Them and the Dreamers I plan on having be major factions of the Multiverse when I get around to creating that lore hub.

I have a plethora in the Angar Rylla as they take up an important role in the Dreamer mythos.

You have an excess of bodily fluid in the Rylla?....

But isn't the way we have it set currently now, like, the way a multiverse should be like? Cause a multiverse is also fluid, innit?

What I might suggest instead is, instead of a thread where everyone has one post for their lore, why not have a single post with their most used characters and what faction they might be under and that's it?

The way I see it, by building the multiverse around our characters instead of a preexisting story, we can free to create whatever we want, whenever we want, involving different factions and characters as we see fit.

Wouldn't that be a little more fitting?

Do we have a large good guy alliance yet? I probably wouldn't use the one from my own multiverse but am up for coming up with second best ideas.

@ImportantNobody@DJAtomika The question is, why do our parties feel the need to band together for the better good of the multiverse? I think a lot of our characters seem to barely understand the multiverse never the less band together with people from those other verses.
