'Well, this is a fine mess.' Thought The Creator, who tapped the pointy end of their pencil irritably on the large table in front of him. Across this table was a mess of papers, strewn about every which way, each with a detailed looking landmass on it. These were the worlds the Creator had...Well, created. Not directly of course-The Creator never had an idea on their own until recently, but rather it had sought out sentient beings to channel his will to create through. Coming up with exactly what to to create was on them. The Creator had heard what they did be called 'inspiration' or 'muse', but he preferred the term creator far better.
Which, considering what The Creator had created was the reason for this mess, could be a bit of a misnomer. Recently, they had tried their own hand at actually creating something, and the result was what lay in front of the, today. The worlds The Creator had inspired were now in chaos-characters were being killed, overpowered beings ran rampant across lands, cities were falling...The cries of thousands of living beings, even if they were of fiction, weighed heavily on The Creator's shoulders.
"And all of this because of a single spark..." Muttered The Creator with a sigh, shifting through a few nearby papers for some sort of solution to fix all of this, unlikely as it looked. Perhaps if they burned these papers...
Suddenly, The Creator happened upon a sheet of paper. It was one they knew well, because the concept had been so simple-New York City, but add ghosts and people who hunted, or busted, them. The Creator had many works, but they always had a soft spot for this one. It was painful for the, to watch as dozens of possessed beings the size of sky scrapers rampaged across the city, all due to this Spark's whims.
Just as they were about to look away however, The Creator witnessed something astonishing. The characters of this world were fighting back. And they were winning. It was slow and arduous, but one by one the Titans that terrorized the city fell, all thanks to a series of creative decisions made by those within the world.
"How in the..." The Creator asked, astonished. They had been trying for what felt like eons to fix this problem themselves, how were they succeeding? It took them a fair bit, but soon they found their answer: The Creator had made the world in two different generations, and at the forefront of each generation was a group of individuals that stepped up and fixed whatever problem this world generated. The Spark's power was too great for one of those teams alone...But it's power had inadvertently brought them both together in their primes. Together, the team's powers were enough to topple the Spark's influence. The Creator stared at the paper, blinking dully.
"Huh. So this is what it feels like to get touched by me." Said The Creator, who quickly retrieved a blank piece of paper and created a makeshift world. It wasn't their best, but it didn't need to be-all it really needed was a landmass, some trees for oxygen, a sun and moon for warmth and a sleep cycle, and a way to get food and water.
Well, that and characters. The Creator wracked their brain for anyone they thought could be of use and quickly started to write them in. The Creator was desperate, so they simply put down whoever they could think of for this beginning phase. It's process could be refined later, but for now there simply wasn't time. They selected only 'name' characters from a world, due to the aforementioned Spark creations that seemed to be springing up at an alarming rate, and they did not want to accidentally bring one of them aboard. They only hoped this worked...

What did I just read?
The basis for this RP thing I'm making. Basically, it's going to be a big fat schmoz of a Multiverse RP, bouncing between worlds and characters at the drop of a hat (theoretically). Hopefully you enjoyed reading it.
Multiverse eh? What's the limit?
Broad question, so I'll answer it multiple ways. First, player limit? None. As many of you that wanna play can play.
Character number limit? As many as you're comfortable playing. I trust you lot to know your own limits and not try to play as, say, 15 characters when you can only really do 3 competently at a time. Know your limits, because I really don't want to have to put a arbitrary number on this.
Character Origin Limit? Just two-no IRL people. So no, you cannot play Donald Trump, Margaret Thatcher, etc. just the fictional folk. Second, no OCs. This is going to hurt my interest levels, I know this, but I took a look around on the forum and I really didn't see an established character exclusive Multiverse RP. That's a nieche neither that needs filling, and if not me...Well someone else would've done it eventually I suppose.
Is there an end game in mind?
Loosely! This is actually an idea I've had bouncing around in my head for years now, and I did try to get it going once when I was younger, but I was young and impatient and blah let's not talk about that anymore. This idea has been gestating within me for a while now though, and I think I'm finally ready to give this the old college try. If you guys will lend your writing skills to it of course.
Now, I say loosely because I always think better when I'm improvising. I don't have all the details filled in yet, I just have some key ones there and I intend on getting the rest in place as we go along. It may not be the smart way to go about this, but I feel like I'll fill in a lot more gaps flying by the seat of my pants than I will letting this idea simmer inside me any longer.
You gonna start this up any time soon?
As soon as I can/as soon as I know I have some interest from you guys. Doesn't have to be much, as again, a single person can play as many characters as they like (just don't over exert yourself please and thank), but there's got to be something before I start, alright?

Thanks for reading all of that! Gimme a shout if you wanna do this, and if not...Thanks for reading anyway I suppose.
