Shattered Universe
There exists not just one, but an unlimited number of universes, commonly known as the Multiverse. Travel between these dimensions of reality is impossible as their gateways have been sealed by an unknown entity. However, there is always an exception to the rule. - The Shattered Universe.
In every universe that has ever been, there are great events that cause that reality to shatter, whether that be the death of a powerful being, the destruction of a star or even just some random event out of anyone’s control, the result is the same. A portion of that reality splinters off and is jettisoned to the Shattered Universe while the original universe the shard of reality came from beings to repair itself and continue as if nothing had happened.
The Shattered Universe’s primary purpose is to be the dumping ground of all other realities. As these shards enter this universe their properties, their truths and even their horrors are shared throughout the universe which they now call home. Fortunately, there is a governing body known as the United Universal Council that oversees the integration of these realities into one. The UUC, whose main stronghold is on Alpha-Earth was formed after it was first discovered that the Shattered Universe would become a relay point for other dimensions.
The UC created what is known as the Reality Field Generator. This was what kept new realities from colliding, which is what happened twenty years ago before its creation. A planet from a new dimension spawned into a planet that already existed in the Shattered Universe, creating a cataclysmic event in which the aftermath is still felt today. The Reality Field also protects against the cosmic backlash that shards create when entering a new reality. – Such as a star going supernova.
Alpha Earth is the original Earth of this dimension, though it resembles very little of what it used to with its towering orbital elevators and industrial sectors. Being the original Earth and the main headquarters of the UUC, Alpha Earth has become the HUB for all interdimensional affairs and governorship. Alpha Earth is also heavily defended by a joint universal force.
Now while the UUC does its best to contain shards that may carry with them potential threats, the unpredictability of them entering this reality is too high, many have slipped through the new and as a result, most of these ‘villains’ have formed what is known as the Union of Despair.
And now there is an even greater threat that wishes to consume the entire Shattered Universe.
Welcome to the Shattered Universe RP. In this you will be able to take the role of your favourite characters and bring them into this reality (Within reason ^^). At current there are two main factions with the third being drip fed in. Sadly, the third you will be unable to join due to its nature and so that everyone has an antagonist to fight. This however doesn’t mean that you are unable to make your own faction should you wish.
The UCC are the ‘good guys’ so to speak. They try to maintain order through any means within reason, but you will soon discover that the council may not treat everyone equally.
The Union of Despair is a group formed by the ‘bad guys’, this doesn’t mean that they like each other and get on well. Hell, you may even try to kill each other. However, the Shattered Universe is large and there are always bigger fish than you, meaning you need as many ‘friends’ to act as bait.
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.
10.) Reality bending powers such as 'rift walking' or powers to that effect do not make new dimensions, but rather create layers of the one that you are in.
11.) Such powers as mentioned above are dispelled in Reality Fields. i.e it is impossible to Rift Walk on Alpha Earth due to the Reality Field Generators.
Character Sheet
Government:
The United Universal Council runs via a form a republic dictatorship if such a system could possibly exist. At the top end are the Ethereals. These beings are the ones that formed the UUC and made Reality Fields a possibility. They ensure that no great event will cause the destruction of Alpha Earth and Universe as a whole. However, this is all they maintain, the day to day lives of the citizens of the UUC are then passed down to elected representatives of each planet, system or race, all of which hold equal standing in the Court of the Ethereals where all law is passed. Only in times of crisis or deadlocks do the Ethereals make a final ruling, never favouring one sect of people.
Military:
While the UUC promote peace and protection from all the dangers that the Shattered Universe, their military is very well endowed. Having borrowed technology, ships, weapons and staff from other universes, the UUC have a well established and powerful military. The main fleet is nearly always placed in Orbit over Alpha Earth and both protection and to show off their might. During civil unrest, mainly caused by the Union of Despair on many systems, sub-fleets will be deployed, offering an ultimatum to any hostile forces and will rarely fire first.
Key Locations:
Alpha Earth: The main HUB of the UUC and is home to over four trillion citizens.
Union Station: Being 27 jumps from Alpha Earth, Union Station is the direct middle ground between the UUC and UoD. This is where a single Ethereal is placed along with a few hundred thousand citizens of both the UoD and UUC. It is hoped that this will bridge connections between the two major factions.
Hell’s Gate: 98 jumps from Alpha Earth, Hell’s Gate is the dirty secret of the UUC. Being a hybrid facility of both a prison and R&D lab, this is where most experimental technology is kept and ecured.
