The Great Multiverse War - Saga of Battle!
Intro
There were three beings that have governed the Multiverse since time immemorial, three entities who were born from the narrative energy of the various worlds, and transcended time and space.
The first being was Happiness, the genderless one who embodied all that was noble and bright in the worlds, who gave heroes something to fight for, and brought hope to those downtrodden. The second was Suffering, another genderless being who existed only to bring pain and madness into existence, delighting in breaking people and finding disappointment when it's actions instead strengthened and hardened them.
The third was Interest, who desired only to make things 'entertaining', for he alone realized this truth; that the Multiverse generated supernatural energy through conflict and tension, and without said energy, the various worlds will cease to exist, lost to oblivion. So Interest kept the fight between Happiness and Suffering going for as long as he could, ensuring that both sides were in balance.
But it could not last forever. For one day, Interest miscalculated and allowed Suffering to win a battle that it should not have won, and Happiness died as a result. And thus the grimmer, darker worlds of the Multiverse awoke to the fact that they were part of a much larger whole, a vast network of universes that they can take over at will. The result of this was the birth of an organization, the Imperium of Suffering, whose desire was to spread suffering all over existence.
Countless worlds and timelines burned, thrown into fates worse than death, and the dark laughter of thirsting 'Gods' was heard in places where they should not be. However, the being called Interest realized that a universe of perpetual suffering where everyone was equally abhorrent was just as lacking in meaningful conflict as a universe ruled by Happiness.
And so Interest manifested a human form, going to various worlds to inform their champions of the existence of the Multiverse and asking them for their aid. He wished to form a movement that would weaken Suffering's hold upon the many universes of existence, and eventually, devise ways of generating conflict and supernatural energy without excess suffering. And so the New Multiverse Union Government was formed, a group of beings whose goal was to fight back against the Imperium of Suffering.
Thus began the Great Multiverse War.
------
Basically, this is an RP where you can play almost any character from almost any universe (restrictions are listed in The Rules); it is recommended that you join either the Imperium of Suffering or the New Multiverse Government, but you can make up your own faction if it is reasonable and not as strong as either Imperium or New Multiverse Government. Note that if you play a Custom Faction, you can eventually make it as powerful as the two 'Major Factions', but it will take a lot of hard work.
Power Levels
First up, original and canon characters are allowed, but ultra-powerful, ultra-perfect characters are restricted. My limits for what is allowed are:
- Able to carry entire cities on their backs for days on end.
- Move as fast as the speed of light on Earth.
- Travel interstellar distances by yourself and survive in space.
- Survive a nuclear explosion.
- Affect a city the size of New York with a single superscience/magical effect.
- Transporting large armies across universes by yourself
Characters more powerful than this are not allowed unless massively nerfed. As for characters who are just as powerful as this, only four PCs are allowed for the New Multiverse Government and Imperium of Suffering each, and four more are allowed in the game in general, as leaders of four separate Custom Factions. New custom factions beyond those four will just have to go without exceptionally powerful characters if they are made.
Rules
1.) No godmodding, powerplaying, metagaming, etc. etc.
2.) Anything above nudity must be taken to PMs.
3.) No OOC feuding! If you must argue, be respectful. IC, meanwhile, you can hate each other as much as you like as long as it doesn't seep over to OOC.
4.) Characters who are at the limit of what is acceptable will receive extra scrutiny, aka they are more likely to be rejected. Beware.
5.) Please notify me if you will be gone longer than a few days, I myself will let you guys know if I will be gone.
6.) Warhammer 40k characters are restricted; Warhammer 40k tech and magic is immensely powerful (according to fans) and might - might - outpower the majority of universes and make them impotent.
7.) Dragon Ball Z is restricted; Super Saiyans, Frieza's people, Kai's people, Buus, and Super Nameks are too overpowered for even this game. Everything else is allowed.
8.) The Tone of the RP is 'Dark, but Optimistic'. Things are grim at first, but your characters are not supposed to be hopeless jerks about it, nor would basket cases be accepted. This world can be made fairer and its suffering will be reduced if the PCs do things right. So, do things right.
