Earth in Limbo: A Multiverse Roleplay
The year is 2020, and Earth has come to the very brink of destruction. In an event called "The Harrowing", dimensional rifts opened across the entire globe. Within the timeframe of a few seconds, every nation on the planet was put under siege by organizations and monstrosities so outlandish that they could only be called fantastical. However, those that found themselves in this new world, Earth, were just as bewildered as those they intruded upon. Having been torn from their homeworlds and dumped on this planet without any knowledge of a means to return, they were forced to make sense of their new surroundings and prevent their own destruction. Within a few days, the majority of world governments had simply collapsed- unable to enforce their will beyond whatever bunkers or military installations the elite still had under their control. The global movement of food, medical supplies, and other essentials stopping over night. The introduction of monstrous beasts, super powered beings, and possibly tyrannical organizations all from other worlds quickly hurried this collapse along.
The intensity of dimensional rifts were horrendous in these early days, eradicating the landscape in some areas. Famine, wars, and major climate shift resulted in the death of untold masses. The Earth has been shattered, but after half a year the dust has settled and some stability has returned. Remainders of the Old Worlds government have reasserted themselves in some irrelevant corners of the globe, as have new nations created by survivors and refugees. But the true kings of this new world are those organizations that crossed the gulf of time and space from other worlds and survived- even thrived in the Harrowing. Replacing Old World countries, they are the new masters of this Earth- their only competition being each other.
And of course, the hordes of monsters that are now a bit too common for your average civilian.
So, what exactly is this RP? Put simply, a bunch of portals opened across the Earth, depositing monsters, factions, and individuals from across the multiverse all over the planet. The portals themselves were volatile enough to cause mass destruction and climate change, but the things coming out of them finalized the collapse of the global order. Without easy access to food, water, or supplies, many people died. The various beings and factions that emerged from the dimensional rifts assumed a leadership role, dominating survivors of The Harrowing- the name of the disaster.
Two super alliances have emerged to dominate the post Harrowing Earth, with the rest of the world caught inbetween. Despite the faction sheet, this roleplay will focus on the characters within the factions, as they live through diplomacy, quests, conflict, and intrigue. As a multiversal roleplay, you can make your own original character/faction, or use a canon prexisting one.
Since this is just an interest check, I'll elaborate on the finer details later. For now, I just want to see if anyone would like to join and what ideas they may have if they do. The sheets are up for your convenience, but I'm not going through the motions of approvals and such just yet(I would suggest waiting until the OOC is up before doing anything but an outline). Questions however are very welcome
