Platform City is the majestic capital of the video game universe known as Arcade. It is here where the prestigious leaders of the seven major kingdoms gather and discuss matters of The Balance. The Balance is what keeps the realms from crossing over, but it has been disturbed come late. A virus has breached The System. It is an agent so contagious; so corrupting that The Seven have come to address it as the Mugen Virus; the M-Virus; the Infinite Virus. While heroes cringe at the prospect of the virus warping the entire system, the villains grasp it lecherously. They see it as a higher evolutionary. Finally, vengeance. Taking the kingdoms of Arcade is only a matter of keeping the heroes oblivious to how the virus works and how it can be stopped. The Seven realize that they would need to summon Arcade's mightiest heroes -- old and new. If nothing is done to quarantine and delete the virus, then the realms would converge; realities would warp; and stories would be undone.

Platform City is a crossover dimension, and the capital of the video game universe. In Tetris Castle, the rulers of the seven largest kingdoms: Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Blizzard; come together in a summit once a year to discuss the stability of the video game world. Unfortunately, due to an emergency, a meeting was called sooner than intended. An unknown video game virus has infiltrated the universe and has led to the corruption of several worlds. The seven rulers of the seven major kingdoms have summoned the greatest warriors to venture out to these corrupted kingdoms and purge them of the enemy virus dubbed the Mugen Virus.
Players will choose one hero from any video game franchise with the exception of certain Japanese video games. If the anime, film, literature did not originate as a video game, then players are not allowed to choose characters from such games. Other prohibited franchises are Marvel, DC, Disney (to include Star Wars and Kingdom Hearts (due to the Disney characters being in the game)), and Hyperdimension Neptunia.
After players have managed to complete an entire mission with their one character, those players who have remained dedicated and who are still a part of the game will be allowed to unlock a second character option. For now, I am only permitting one character to be selected to control the character traffic and to permit players to have a better chance of acquiring their first choice.
Players are not permitted to play villains. Villains already have a place in this game. If a player goes inactive, then his or her character will be relieved and tossed back into the dibs pool. The story that that character left behind will no longer be significant for the new player that adopts that character will have free reign to play that character as though the character were anew. Reset!
Players are not permitted to bend the gender of the hero character UNLESS the gender was interchangeable in the game. For example, a player can play Link and another can play Linkle. Although they are similar in appearance, they are different characters. A second example is Commander Shepard. In Mass Effect, the player could make Commander Shepard either a male or a female, but there will be only one Commander Shepard. By now, I am sure that you understand.

I know you noticed that there is a lot to read. I have put all of that information in hiders intentionally because besides the opening post, your attention needs to be here. The Free Section is going to be the multiverse location for Alpha Academy. Alpha Academy is where new players to the Project Crossover game universe will go. While you are in the Alpha Academy, you will be learning how to use the game mechanics in a role played tutorship. Veterans from the PXO main game will at times crossover to Alpha Academy and watch your character’s training.
Your goal in Alpha Academy is to learn the basic system and complete a mission with your assigned team. Depending on how well you complete the mission, you will have the opportunity to move over into the main game, which is located in Casual Roleplay. These characters listed below are not only the characters of veteran players, these characters are taken and are to be treated in-game as high-class officers. The writers of these players have been writing in PXO for 1-2 years and so deserve the in-game respect. One day, you too will have the chance to become a veteran of PXO, and you may be asked to return here to mentor the future. Not all characters from the main game are mentioned here because they are currently still on Alpha status and are completing their final mission that will have their ranks change. Thus, those listed below are the current non-Alpha officers.
- Naija (Aquaria) @DracoLunaris
- Fox McCloud (Starfox) @Dawnrider
- Slayer (Guilty Gear) @Lugubrious
- James Varrock (Destiny 1 and 2) @Zarkun
- Akira Kurusu (Persona 5) @Tenma Tendo
- Frisk (Undertale) @Guardian Angel Haruki
- Alicia Harnick (Destiny 2) @Zarkun
- Cloud Strife (FF7) @Holy Soldier
Again, your character may see these officers show up. As the current players on mission finish, you may see an update in this list. For now, let’s continue.
The Drill Instructor (DI) for the Alpha Academy is going to be The Prince from Prince of Persia. He is one of the Seven Council members in the game. Originally, it was going to be Guile from Street Fighter, another council member. However, currently, he is injured in the main game and will not be able to make it. To help start you all off on choosing a character, I have listed all the characters who are taken in the main game below:
Taken Characters: Mario, Mr. President (Saints Row IV), Cloud Strife, Taric (League of Legends), Captain Piper (Steamworld Heist), Fox McCloud, Banjo & Kazooie, Naija (Aquaria), Slayer (Guilty Gear), Frisk Dreemurr (Undertale), Six (Little Nightmares), Cuphead, Heavy (Team Fortress 2), Bently (Sly Cooper), Akira Kurusu (Persona 5), Azura (Fire Emblem: Fates) and Vent (Megaman ZX).
Reserve a character with the GM, work on a CS, and we’ll start the academy with an in-game orientation. What will help your progression from Alpha Academy to the main game is being able to post over 300 words. The word count experience bonus has been decreased for Alpha Academy, however, when you move over to the main game, the requirements will be raised. The minimum requirement is being able to post 300 words. If you are not capable of doing this, then you will remain in Alpha Academy on Alpha status until you have improved. This academy is not only a fun in-game extension of a multiversal game concept. It is an actual academy for literary development and improvement. Remember, 300 words.
If you are interested, then please apply below and @mention me. This interest check will be the OP for the OOC. So treat it like the OOC. Take your time reading all of this and remember, you WILL have help if you ask for it.
