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.\
9.) Players control what elements of their PCs' home universes are brought in alongside said PCs in the RP. Should more than one player have characters from the same universe, they share control of elements of said PC's home universe. This is unless the GM interferes.

I'll have my characters put into the characters tab shortly. Unless you wanted to take the first slot, @Letter Bee.

@Raddum, I want to, yes.

@Letter Bee

I'll wait then

Would you allow someone to play as the Flood? ^^

Name: The Flood Vanguard

Appearance:

(Ignore the size in the picture, it is no bigger than a bus.)

Personality: Cold and Calculating. Somewhat of an isolationist however will temporally ally with lesser creatures if they serve the same goal.

Bio:
For over the countless centuries, the Flood have been a terror feared through what is known as the Halo Universe. This hive-minded parasite consumes all that it touches. However, the Gravemind, facing oblivion at the destruction of Installation 04b created a creature known as the Flood Vanguard and sent it through a rift in the fabric of reality as the Installation went supernova. This ‘Vanguard’ like other Flood constructs shared the entire knowledge and memories of every Flood creature before it. It also carried with it its desire to rebuild what it had now lost.

However, this universe that the Vanguard finds itself in is strange and alien to it. The two major powers are vastly superior to that than the Flood has ever faced before and it will take careful planning, manipulation and time before the Vanguard can rebuild the Flood Empire.

As for now, the small derelict colony ship of around 2000 souls onboard would prove to be a sufficient place to start.

Age: Physical: 1.7 Years Mental: Unknown

Skills:
Short Range Telepathy: The Vanguard is able to produce low level telepathy waves. This is the main way in which he coordinates the Flood forces. Each Flood form acts as a relay for this ability, however any forms outside of a certain radius end up resorting back to their default instincts, which are hunt, feed and then build. This telepathy also allows the Vanguard to enter the minds of other organic creatures and communicate to them. This is often used as a tool of terror and to cause colony wide panic and hysteria, but it can also be used as a tool for manipulation and cooperation should the need arise.

A.I/Logic Plague: The A.I or rather Logic Plague is an ability the Flood have had since the dawn of their existence. It grants the Flood the ability to corrupt any form of A.I and gaining the ability to use them against their original masters. The process of which depends heavily on the intelligence of the A.I. For example, basic A.I can be infected with the Logic Plague and be fully corrupted within hours. Much more intelligent A.I will take weeks to even years to be fully corrupted.

Parasitic Absorption: The Flood as a whole is one giant parasite. Their very existence relies on the consumption of sentient beings. The Flood, once established will create a hive in which their foul dominion is created. Any sentient being, living or dead are prime candidates to become engrossed into the fold. Through the use of what are known as Infection Forms. These creatures borrow into the being they wish to control, attaching itself to the nervous system of the creature and being the putrid transformation of all those that are consumed.

@Legion-114, Add more detail, perhaps?

-delet-

Name: Akande "Doomfist" Ogundimu

Appearance:



Personality: Akande is charismatic, intelligent and charming. His general beliefs are that humanity grows stronger through conflict alone, and war is necessary to evolve humanity.

Bio: Akande was born to a wealthy prosthetics company. His love at the time was Martial Arts. He competed in several worldwide tournaments, relying on his speed and agility to read his opponents and punish them.

All of that fell apart however, after the Omnic Crisis- a war between humans and sentient robots. He lost his right arm, and though it was replaced by his family, he was no longer allowed to compete in martial arts tournaments due to this.

Akinjide Adeyemi, Doomfist (at the time) gave young Akande a chance to fill the void in his heart by fighting as a mercenary for a group called Talon. He proved to be a great asset to the organization and quickly became one of the top members. During this time, Akande killed his master, and took the Doomfist Gauntlet, becoming the third to hold the title of Doomfist.

Overwatch, however, had a different plan. Tracer, Genji and Winston all confronted him and managed to subdue Akande, and took the Gauntlet from him. He was then imprisoned by Helix Security International, and bode his time, waiting for a rescue. Eventually, another Talon agent- Reaper- freed him, and Akande succeeded in re-obtaining his Gauntlet, becoming Doomfist once again.

He was recently stirring the pot between humans and Omnics (sentient androids), hoping to start a second Omnic Crisis. That is, until the Multiverse became apparent. Now he's spreading conflict throughout the universes, convinced that only the strong will survive.

Age: 45

Skills:

The Best Defense...
Doomfist can temporarily shield himself if he lands any of his other abilities. These prevent his main health from depleting until they're destroyed, and deteriorate slowly over time.

Hand Cannon
On his left arm is a miniature four-shell shotgun that wraps around his knuckles, which fires energy based projectiles and recharges quickly over time. The spread isn't horrible, but it's damage really starts to drop off at longer ranges.

Seismic Slam
Doomfist can leap forward, and land on the ground with the Gauntlet first, causing a very small shockwave in front of him, damaging enemies and knocking them towards Akande.

Rising Uppercut
The Gauntlet can also be used to uppercut Akande and any nearby enemies into the air, while also damaging them.

Rocket Punch
Doomfist can charge up the Gauntlet for a short while, before dashing forward, fist first. If he hits anybody, they're knocked back a far distance, and take damage again if they hit a wall. For many people who arent wearing armor or protective gear, this will insta-kill.

Meteor Strike
Doomfist's final ability- he can leap into the air for a short while, and come back down in the location of his choice. This creates a shockwave decently large area around where Doomfist lands, and damages anybody within range. The closer to the center, the more damage they take, and if they're in the epicenter, it will insta-kill.

Faction (Imperium of Suffering/New Multiverse Government/Custom): Imperium of Suffering

@Raddum, Accepted.

@Grnmachine, Add another paragraph's worth of detail into the bio.

@Grnmachine, after edits, accepted.

@Letter Bee



tbh i didn't expect to get this far im still in shock

@Raddum, Yeah, we just need one more player, then I and @Grnmachine can work on a collab to start the IC.

That said, though, I am going to need your help for the Persona Arc.

@Raddum "Peer pressured"

You are just a weak willed little human.

I am closing applications for the NMG now that there are apparently 7 or so characters for it. You see, I want the Imperium of Suffering to have an equal number of PCs to the NMG to create appropriate conflicts.

Name: Rockin' Strings
Appearance: A red unicorn pony standing 4 feet tall with a foot tall red and black striped mohawk and striped tail. He wears a pair of mechanical wings and a golden guitar on his back with a gold, heart-shaped locket around his neck.
Personality: Rockin' is a mostly happy-go-lucky guy but know when to be serious. He often acts the role of the adult when his friends begin arguing. He lies to take responsible courses but doesn't always know the best thing to do.
Bio: Rockin' grew up in small town in small island country. While traveling, he and his 5 friends were granted powers with great responsibility. The 6 of them were given what the locals called the elements of life. Rockin' gained the element of sound, allowing Jim to use the sound waves from his guitar to make concussive blasts.
Age: 24
Skills: Flight, basic unicorn magic, musician.
Faction (Imperium of Suffering/New Multiverse Government/Custom): NMG.
