Okay, so no purple because i have a lot to say.
I and a
@VATROU were working on a new arc for everyone to partcipate in, and we have the basics of the idea that we came up with.
So in the world of Paradox there are multiple universes where any and all outcomes are possible. A long time ago, in an entirely different universe, Paraodx and it's entire agency came upon a mysterious mirror that showed them different versions of anyone who looked into its surface (Like, if you looked into the mirror you would basically see an alternate version of yourself in another universe. You could see you, but as a pirate in a pirate universe, or you as a robot, in a universe where everyone is a robot for some reason.) They ended breaking the mirror clumsily, however, and the minute the broken shards touched the ground, they ended ripping holes through the fabric of their material plane, leaving nothing for them to stand on save for empty, endless air (The universe has been ripped away from them sort of like how a rug can be ripped from underneath someone, so that's why they are falling.) One memeber of Paradox helps the others using magic to hold them all in place long enough to create some sort of platform for them to stand on. This way, they are no longer falling through endless, blank space. This, unortunately, freezes the shards in place, meaning now they actually have time to rip through even more universes by just being there in suspended animation. So now holes are being ripped through other dimensions, and I think you know where this is going.
So this paradox agency baiscally goes "Shit we gotta fix this somehow" and start trying to collect te shards, but come to realize they can only grab one shard. (This is where things are gonna get confusing, and it could def use some work, so if anyone wants to chime in to try ad change anything, go right ahead and suggest some stuff) The blank world that Paradox has found themselves in is what I call the Inbetween. It is both a place that has no rules, but has many rules. For instance, you can create anything in this world, but the things you make will often end up retconning eachother. Like, the platform that they are currently standing on as a means to not fall into endless space will only be allowed if they don't create something else that can destroy the platform, like creating dynamite in this world would be possible, but it would mean the platform is gone now because dynamite can destroy it. So they gotta get creative with what they make, and find new solutions for the things that they can't make. Back to the one shard thing, the Inbetween has a very odd rule in regards to the shards. Each universe is permitted one shard each, and vice versa. This means if someone from your world grabs a random shard, no one else in your world will be able to grab another one. You all have to keep that one shard safe, and get the help of others to grab their own shards.
Paradox realizes this, and decides that now they have to try and get into contact with others through the holes in the different universes, and what do you know, there's a hole right next to them on the platform thats just small enough for one person to go through. (I've already got a character I wanted to go through the hole, but as to where this hole leads to I have no Idea, I just no it goes to the universe where all Create A Superhero is canon, so this could lead to Eris' apartment or the Hounds Base or whatever you call that place. We can discuss this whole thing if it's confusing and whatnot, and put in ideas together.)
So while all this is going down, they have run into a few World walkers (A name that Vatrou came up with, I like it.) And these are often beligerent, bad versions of other people from other universes. They're kind of like pirates, because they go to the newly discovered Inbetween, and steal shit from other universes to better their own (Like technology, or fantasy animals they've never seen before.) To stop these rogues, Paradox came up with an idea that the Inbetween would support, and which was also not a way for the platform to disappear. An Arena. The Inbetween is a place built for action it seems, as while their is a rule against taking other shards when you already have one, there is no rule that says you can't
win them. So they hold tournaments against many different World Walkers, and whoever loses has to give up their shard. Paradox hasn't lost a fight yet, and currently they are patching the holes in the Inbetween slowly. They hold a total of 23 out of 57 shards. They have a ways to go still.
But this is where your hero's come in! Whose in for traveling to an immaterial plane of existence and having a Dragonball esque tournament arc to save the known universe? (It still needs a bit work, which is why we both need some input. So tell us what you think, please.)
