"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
In June of 2016, the above quote inspired the start of the horror roleplay, Abandoned Hope. It spawned the start of a multi-RP universe, originally named the Abandoned Hope Universe, which included stories from different times, different genres, and different themes. From superhero action oriented roleplays to hauntingly deadly pirate tales, the Abandoned Hope Universe was similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yet this experimental and thrilling process eventually gave way to a full blown multiverse.
This guide is designed to give you a glimpse into the status quo of each established multiverse. Their timelines and characters stem from both established roleplays and films that have been made cannon within the universe, allowing for one's imagination to run wild. Not all roleplays have to connect, but there will always be subtle little easter eggs and the potential to meet characters once more. There are always more stories to tell and more universes to explore.
In the Legends section are the established roleplays in this multiverse, with their universe designation noted next to them. Primarily, these roleplays are run by @Morose and @BlueSky44, as well as @Nallore. At the moment, no other GMs can run a RP that can be considered Skyrose Multiverse cannon.
This is the universe that started it all. More commonly known as the Abandoned Hope Universe, Earth-666 is a harrowing world filled with strange creatures, magic, and individuals with extraordinary abilities. The lines between good and evil are no longer distinct, with the majority of characters doing just about everything they can in order to survive. Yet while the death tolls are great and the foes are formidable, humanity has managed to persevere when up against incredible odds...so far.
The majority of Skyrose Multiverse RPs are set within this reality. These include:
- Strange New Waters
- Experiment X
- The Wolves of Red Lake
- The Alucard Institute for Peculiar Youth
- Abandoned Hope
- The Horrors of Coventry
- Hooked on a Feeling
- X-Men: Darkness Rising
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- The Gifted
The timeline shown below is by no means definitive. It reflects the current state of the Abandoned Hope Universe, and in order to eliminate spoilers, does not record events that have yet to occur in RP. Events listed below are from one of two sources: universe RPs or events declared to be cannon in the universe. RPs included in the Abandoned Hope Universe have been listed above and this is not intended as a summary of events--instead, treat it as an overview.
However, events that have been stated to be cannon draw from two primary pieces of source material: Phase One Marvel Cinematic Universe Films and the Apocalypse Season of Supernatural. All Marvel movies made up to and including the first Avengers Film can be considered cannon; the same is not true for Marvel television shows. As for Supernatural, the general storyline of the Apocalypse season has been considered cannon. In each case, the timeline taken by the source material (obviously) diverges as it becomes a part of the Abandoned Hope Universe.
It is possible that more source material will be added.

In the Abandoned Hope Universe, we have known that we were not alone in the world since 2012, due to the Incident. Aliens are real, powered individuals are possible, and anything else? It is the stuff of fiction, of Harry Potter novels and horror flicks. But of course, that is the public perception, largely due to the efforts of MI13, O.M.E.N., and S.H.I.E.L.D. The world just isn't ready to know about what else is real, causing the Altsoba Massacre to be deemed an event driven by religious paranoia and hallucinogenics. Nothing abnormal at all. Had the Incident been less public, it would have been covered up and hidden as well.
According to O.M.E.N., a being with supernatural and inhuman capabilities is called a necromantic. This can range from enhanced humans, such as Steve Rogers, all the way to the most darkest and complex of creatures, such as Azrael, the Angel of Death. And while this term is used in most government documents, there are other terms that are more specific and demonstrate improved understanding of the situation. The universe is a strange one, one that we can hardly understand.
Below is our attempt to explain something that is, within itself, nearly unexplainable. But remember, magic is simply science that we do not yet understand. This lore will be updated as more is revealed and explained.
Humans
Mutants, also called homo superior, are powered individuals who gain their abilities due to an X-gene. This gene is something that is simply part of their genetic makeup from birth. It can be activated when the individual is subjected to great stress, often during puberty or traumatic moments. It's important to understand that while a mutant's powers can be called a mutation, they were born mutants. They did not mutate throughout the course of their lifetime.
Mutates are those who, as the name implied, mutated to gain powers. This is often due to the presence of electromagnetic radiation outside of the visible spectrum. Encounters with radioactive waste would certainly qualify. It is possible for those with an X-gene to mutate when exposed to radiation or other materials, but it is uncommon and also effectively 'neutralizes' the X-gene.
Inhumans, also called inhomo supremis, are individuals who are descended by unfortunate souls who were experimented on and had their genetic code modified. This unorthodoxy in genetics can be activated through a process called terringenesis, in which the inhuman emerges from something akin to a cocoon with newfound abilities and powers.
Deviances, as they are now understood, refer to (often) extraordinary abilities that distinguish someone from the average human. However, these are not differences on a biological or genetic level. While these can be small things, such as a sixth sense when it comes to healing and knowing what is wrong with the patient, it can be as dramatic as pyrokinesis. Deviances are a result of the shattering of the Cursed Flask in 1719, the shards which were recovered in 2018 by MI13. The flask's contents were said to grant immeasurable power, and with the contents mixing into the air in trace amounts, individuals can sometimes acquire slight abilities from exposure. There is currently no method of explaining why some people gain a deviance and others do not, however. This area of research is still relatively new.
Creatures
We are not alone in this world by any means. The creatures included here are those encountered thus far in the Abandoned Hope Universe, either directly or by simply mentioning them. As you'll notice, not all of them have complete information. Those indicated by an asterisk are ones that only those with extensive knowledge of necromantics (creatures, in this case) will be aware of. Some of those included below have more details than others. All that means is there is more to learn and discover in future roleplays~

The Avengers
The Avengers are a team of extraordinary individuals, either with superpowers or other special characteristics. Its purpose is to protect global stability from inner or extraterrestrial threats. Though primarily affiliated with the United States of America, they work with the peaceful interests of the whole world in mind rather than a specific country or organization. The Avengers were first assembled by S.H.I.E.L.D. when Loki invaded Earth with his Chitauri army to conquer the planet. The team defeated him and went to their separate ways. They reunite to handle global threats to humanity.
The Brotherhood of Mutants
The Brotherhood of Mutants was a group dedicated to the cause of mutant superiority over humans. Throughout its various incarnations, the Brotherhood's agenda gravitated towards either subjugating the human race to the will of mutants or eradicating humanity altogether. Magneto formed the original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
The Council of the Aesir
So far, the Council of the Aesir has been highly referenced but has yet to appear in Earth-666. Much about them is currently unknown. They are assumed to be a group of deities - perhaps even merely races with extraordinary abilities that caused them to be worshipped by humans in early civilizations. Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Magic, and Hel, the Norse Goddess of Death, are said to be affiliated with the Council of the Aesir.
The Hellfire Club
The Hellfire Club began in England as a social club for the British social elite and wealthy in the 1760's as a way to provide its members with pleasures that often defied the moral standards of the time and to allow members to consolidate their influence over British economic and political matters. At some point, a handful of the most powerful members emigrated to the American colonies and began a branch in New York City and other major cities around the world.
The club has branches in Boston, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and San Francisco. The various branches were overseen by the Inner Circle, consisting of the White King, White Queen, Black King, and Black Queen. The Hellfire Club membership is hereditary, but can also be earned through wealth or influence. Among the Club members there are many famous and influential members of society, the wealthiest and most powerful businessmen of the world, including Justin Hammer.
The purpose of the Hellfire Club is to obtain and exert power through politics and economic influence instead of outward conquest and domination. Since its foundation, the Hellfire Club had been involved in wars and assassinations as long as these helped further the agendas of the Club's most prominent members.
The constant intrigue, backstabbing, blackmailing and politicking that plagued the Hellfire Club resulted in many changes of the Inner Circle, as new players sought out membership in order to obtain influence, power and wealth. Although the hierarchy of the Inner Circle would go through constant upheaval due to the competing egos and political motives of its members, it continues to exist in the same basic structure today.
HYDRA
In the Abandoned Hope Universe, we are primarily concerned with what is called the modern incarnation of HYDRA. Founded by Johann Schmidt, it operated as the Nazis science division in the Second World War. However, the organization was active before the war, even attempting to assassinate genius Howard Stark. Its founder was called the Red Skull, referencing the condition his body was left in after he tried a botched batch of super soldier serum -- the same serum that would later be used on Steve Rogers.
Despite having factories in nine different countries and millions of foot soldiers, HYDRA was ultimately defeated by the Howling Commandos lead by Steve Rogers (Captain America). However, after the war concluded and the Cold War Era began, many former HYDRA scientists were recruited by the United States government, in order to stop them from working with the Soviets. These scientists, more loyal to HYDRA than anything else, rebuilt the organization in secret.
It has since regrown inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, with HYDRA funding the Phase Three program and having its operative, Jim Kennedy (born Gabriel Calrisian), oversee the training of the agents. After the capture of Baron von Strucker and Luminous, its leadership is unknown but the threat is still present and growing.
MI13
A part of the Directorate of Military Intelligence, MI13's public status is that of an organization responsible for"undocumented intelligence and special operations." Aside from the foreboding number 13 in its name, MI13 is also one of the more quiet and harder to join organizations. Members are often recruited from other divisions of military intelligence and it is not uncommon for family members to be brought into the fold, such as Rupert Cornish (former director) recruiting his niece, Jade Cornish.
MI13 has a similar structure to S.H.I.E.L.D. when it comes to training, owning a large training academy in an undisclosed location in Scotland. Its reputation is also closer to that of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s, hardly as corrupt and unfeeling as O.M.E.N. is. Much of this, of course, is due to how little people know about the organization. Its official purposes are all highly classified, but can be assumed to include the monitoring, protection, and policing of enhanced individuals, as well as the assessment and neutralization of paranormal threats.
In short, they fulfill both the functions of S.H.I.E.L.D. and O.M.E.N., but with better efficiency and more human decency.
The Morlocks
An underground mutant separatist community, there are branches of the Morlocks in most major cities. They are peaceful and non-violent, but almost never interact with the world on the surface, preferring to live apart from humans. In New York City in the late 2000s, the New York City Morlocks were slaughtered, prompting other Morlock communities to become more vigilante and wary of outsiders - especially humans.
The Mutant Underground
A nationwide network founded by Leo Luwoye, Evangeline Whedon, and Charles Xavier, the goal of the Mutant Underground is to provide refuge for mutants in trouble. Although the Mutant Registration Act did not pass, groups such as the Purifiers have risen to power, causing many mutants to be unsafe in their communities. The Mutant Underground takes them in and relocates them to a place where they can ideally live without fear. The current leader of the Washington D.C. faction is Veil (Valery Simmons).
O.M.E.N.
The Organization for the Methodical Eradication of Necromantics was signed into existence by the President of the United States of America on June 22nd, 2016. Created in response to the Altsoba Massacre, it is O.M.E.N.'s duty to identify paranormal abnormalities in the world that may do us harm and vanquish them. It is a covert organization and underneath the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense, as it is concerned with protecting national security.
Although its founders were experienced hunters, O.M.E.N. has a reputation for being unable to distinguish between peaceful beings and violent ones. Individuals with supernatural or superhuman abilities are often targeted by O.M.E.N. without mercy, as no grey areas of morality are considered. Anyone considered dangerous to the United States and its interests (provided that danger stems from what is considered supernatural and paranormal) can be arrested and charged without trial by O.M.E.N.
The only exception to O.M.E.N.'s ruthless antics is witchcraft. While witches like Walter Hanson are hunted down like dogs, those who practice magic and are willing to assist O.M.E.N. in hunting the supernatural are often left alone. Individuals like Eudora Erebus are asked for assistance in various cases, as O.M.E.N. encounters more and more supernatural beings, and are only arrested if they do not cooperate.
Known members include the Winchester Brothers and Agent Carbry Keenan. O.M.E.N. was disbanded in 2020 by director Alexander Jakobsen, after being shown that O.M.E.N.'s actions would lead to an apocalyptic future in X-Men: Darkness Rising's Days of Future Past arc.
Purifiers
The Purifiers are an anti-mutant hate group, willing to commit violent acts against mutants ranging from intimidation, arson, and lynchings.
Somewhat like earlier hate groups across history, the Purifiers are not a nation-wide "organization" as such, but more of a concept. "Purifiers" is more of a catch-all term for violent anti-mutant human groups, ranging from loose gangs to fairly well organized militias. There are also public figures that are also classed as purifiers that give public support and financial aid to anti-mutant causes such as politicians and businessmen. A lot of former O.M.E.N. agents have joined their ranks.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division was founded in January of 1949 by Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, and Chester Philips. It absorbed the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) - the Allies' deep science agency that was responsible for the creation of the serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. Following the conclusion of the war and the defeat of HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D. continued to monitor the world for catastrophic threats, as individuals with abilities and superior technology became more and more commonplace. The age of heroes had just begun - but so came the rise of villains.
In short, S.H.I.E.L.D. often deals with alien technology, superpowered individuals, and events that boggle the senses. Despite the agency's success in protecting the world since its founding, its failure to prevent the alien invasion of New York in 2012 and then the Altsoba Massacre (see the RP Abandoned Hope) prompted a defunding of the agency. Its budget was limited significantly and then given to O.M.E.N., a rival US intelligence and military agency. Fortunately, after O.M.E.N. attempted to kill the X-Men while the Mutant Registration Act was being debated in Congress, the rival organization was shut down and S.H.I.E.L.D. saw its funding restored.
Recruitment for S.H.I.E.L.D. can be fierce. Recruits usually have a college degree, but it is not required with the exception of Science and Technology, where candidates need at least one PhD to enter the building. Very few agents are trained 'on the job' but there are some scenarios in which this is the case. Additionally, individuals can be recruited for various initiatives without progressing through the academy, such as the Avengers Initiative. Its current director is Nick Fury and its primary headquarters, the Triskelion, is located in Washington D.C.
The X-Men
The X-Men are a security force created to harbor peace between the emerging homo superior, nicknamed "mutants" and baseline humans. The roster is made up of mutants who have been trained and educated in the use of their powers at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Their operations are funded by Professor Charles Xavier's family fortune and from the patents he created.

This universe is a brighter one than Earth-666 or Earth-6. Rather than filled with the stuff of nightmares, it's a world of hope and wonder. There is a mostly clear divide between the light and the dark. Yet while there is this seeming peace and balance, there are still plenty of threats to be found in a world brimming with magyk. It's the result of a schism from Earth-666, in roughly the year 3470 after an unknown climate disaster ravaged the Earth. It is also known as the Darke Magyk Universe.
There is currently only one RP in this 'verse:
The timeline shown below is by no means definitive. It reflects the current state of the Darke Magyk Universe, and in order to eliminate spoilers, does not record events that have yet to occur in RP. Events listed below are from one of two sources: universe RPs or events declared to be cannon in the universe. RPs included in the Darke Magyk have been listed above and this is not intended as a summary of events--instead, treat it as an overview.
- 3470 - Schism from Earth-666, natural disaster
- November 23rd, 12,507 - Queen Meliscente dies from what appears to be an illness
- December 21st, 12,507 - Princess Valda's coronation day
- May 4th, 12,507 - Witch Messiah Fleur defeats Chthon, eliminating the Sickenesse plaguing Magyk users
While Earth-412 stems from the Earth-666 universe, it has fundamentally different powers and laws. This is due in part to the natural disaster that caused the schism with the Earth-666 universe.
Magyk refers to the powers of wizards and witches. These include the ability to sense things and to cause others to forget things. Most people can perform a few basic spells but in order to do more advanced forms of Magyk or Darke Magyk, a person needs to have talent at Magyk. Magykal talent has a chance of occurring in anybody but being related to other people with the talent will increase that person's chance of having it through inheritance. The seventh son of a seventh son is said to have extraordinary Magykal powers.
Wizards' eyes become green when they are exposed to Magyk. The Heap Children as an example used to have either blue or grey eyes but their eyes turned green in color once they had learnt enough Magyk. Witches' eyes can vary although the most powerful witches always have blue eyes. Zelda Heap is a good example with her sky blue eyes which indicate that she is a white witch. Warlocks are male witches (rare) so they also have blue eyes. Witches, unlike wizards can be born with their magical eye color or develop it later.
Using Darke Magyk affects Magykal green eyes and gives them little flecks of black until eventually the green is lost. Ultimately, whether or not a person's eye color will change depends on two things: their ability to do Magyk since non-magykal peoples' eyes won't change no matter how much Magyk they are exposed to. Or in the case of with the talent for Magyk - the amount of Magyk that they are exposed to.
Frequently, but not always, Darke Incantations are Reverse chants, which are almost always evil, and only make sense if read backwards, hence their name. Usually alchemists use and explore Darke more than wizards.

Wendron Witches
Wendron Witches are inhabitants of The Forest, a region outside of the Castle. They often set up traps and ambushes, to prey on people and creatures alike, looking for loot and other valuable items. Contrary to the Port Witch Coven, the Wendron Witches only practice Lyte Magyk. They currently have a larger Coven size than their rival Coven, as well as boasting the membership of then Crown Princess Valda. On her Coronation Day, they went to war with the Port Witch Coven and were decisively defeated, ending this coven.
The Port Witch Coven / the One True Coven
The Ying to the Wendron Witches' Yang, the Port Witch Coven resides in a small house in the Port. They practice almost exclusively Darke Magyk and show no regard for the lives or safety of others. Rather than stealing to survive, they sometimes antagonize the inhabitants of the Port for the fun of it. They were absorbed and rebranded as the One True Coven after defeating the Wendron Witches decisively.
The Hanseatic League
The Hanseatic League oversees the Traders' Market at the Castle. They enforce the various rules agreed upon between the two governments (the Castle and the Land of Long Nights) and remove any Traders who break these rules. In order to begin working as a trader, you must obtain a license from the Hanseatic League. They also help traders who have come into trouble at the Castle, such as finding their ship in need of desperate repairs or realizing that they wish to relocate to the Small Wet Country Across the Sea.

Darker than its parent universe, Earth-6 stems from Earth-666. In the year 2020, a critical event caused this timeline to splinter off from its parent timeline. The only RP currently hosted in this timeline takes place in the distant future. In general, while this RP is dark in tone, it also is an example of true sci-fi in the Skyrose Multiverse.

This universe stems from Earth-666 and as of such, it shares a majority of its lore. All necromantics have been wiped out, with the Dark Anarchy creating the only remaining individuals with abilities. These people, referred to as either the Aulid or the Unfortunate Thirteen, were experimented on by these scientists. They were kidnapped and given abilities similar to those previously held by mutants. Each one can be identified with a tattoo of a number on the under side of their left arm, as well as the branded mark of the Dark Anarchy on their right shoulder.
The Dark Anarchy
With the world at war, a group of scientists decided to try and create weapons that could potentially turn the tide of the war in one direction, or the other. It wasn't until 15 years after they initially formed that the answer had been staring them in the face. Create a group of individuals who each had a particular skill set, as well as a superhuman ability. This is how they came to create the Aulid project. When the war ended, the locked away their experiments, and soon the world caught up with them, destroying all of their research, and burying the fact that they had ever existed in the first place.

The World consists of the Four Nations, each one consisting of different types of Benders, or people who can manipulate the elements. The nations being the Northern and Southern Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Together, they live in peace for the most part, until the Fire Nation Started a war to take over the world.
The Fire Nation is one of the world's four nations and five sovereign states. It is an absolute monarchy led by the Fire Lord and home to most firebenders. Geographically, the nation is located along the planet's equator in the western hemisphere and is composed of several islands. Its capital is simply known as the Fire Nation Capital.
The Fire Nation is the second-largest nation in terms of area, following the Earth Kingdom, while its economy is the most powerful in the world; its strong industrial sector and extensive technological developments not only enabled the Fire Nation to create an extremely powerful military, but also initiated the worldwide modernization and globalization.
They are the ones who started the war and caused the Genocide of the Air Nomads.
The Earth Kingdom is one of the world's four nations. Spanning an entire continent as well as several subsidiary islands, it is the largest and most populated sovereignty in the world and encompasses much of the eastern hemisphere. The kingdom is ruled by a monarchy which operates under the rule of a king or queen.
The people of the Earth Kingdom are proud and strong and adhere to a philosophy of peaceful coexistence and cooperation with the other nations of the world. Earthbenders use their abilities for defense and industry and fiercely defended their cities against Fire Nation attacks during the Hundred Year War. It also has a large economy based on agriculture and limited industry, though it is not as economically powerful as the Fire Nation, which benefits from advanced technology.
The Earth Kingdom is characterized by significant ethnic and cultural diversity, a consequence of the country's vast territorial expanse. As a result, it suffers from high levels of local autonomy and ethnic conflict, both of which began accelerating as the central government grew weak. Despite this division, the people's recognition of the Earth Kingdom as a single political entity is largely strengthened through the communal belief in a shared history and identity.
The Water Tribe is a collective term for the nation of people who practice the art of waterbending. It is one of the original four nations and its citizens primarily inhabit the northern and southernmost regions of the globe, near both poles.
The people of the Water Tribe are generally peaceful, and strive to live in harmony with nature and the other nations of the world. There are two primary divisions of the Water Tribe, the Northern Tribe and the Southern Tribe, though both were at least de jure governed by the Northern chief. Although in the past there was significant exchange between the North and South, contact between the two tribes was interrupted due to the chaos of the war.
The Water Tribe is less powerful than both the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation, due to its geographical location and the small size of its population and economy. The economy is dependent on the ocean, given the country's location and lack of arable land, apparent manufacturing capacity or minable resources.
Air Nomads is the collective term for the nation of people who practice the discipline of airbending. One of the four major nations, the Air Nomads were wanderers by definition, but had four air temples, one at each corner of the globe, hidden away atop mountain ranges and under cliffs, in the northern Earth Kingdom and on three remote islands. The theocratic Air Nomads were home to a monastic order of men and women who practiced airbending. Unlike the other nations, the people of the Air Nomads were, without any seen exception, all benders due to the high level of spirituality of their people.
The Air Nomads were a peaceful race who were wiped out by the Fire Nation. They lived in large temples and traveled the world on flying bison. They were the most spiritual of all the cultures and lived in harmony with nature. They also were fun-loving and had a strong sense of humor.
The Air Nomads made up the smallest of the four nations in the world. They had a small economy, based entirely on limited agriculture. The population of the Air Nomads was small compared to even the Water Tribe and was far smaller than either of the world's two major powers, the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom.
The world is inhabited by elemental "Benders", or people who can control one of the four elements, Air, Water, Earth and Fire. These people each inhabit one of the four nations, the one that coincides with their element. However, their number is fewer than the number of Non-Benders in the world, or those who do not have these abilities. The two groups generally work together in order to succeed and flourish.
