[OOC] Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

Well. YOU have a universe-spanning faction. Khan has some sort of faction. The other players could form a faction if their characters ever met and had ideals that were not conflicting... This could become almost like a nation-arena thing, if we let it.

That's just it. I think something like that would be healthy for the overall multiverse story. You know, to keep the ball rolling or whatnot. With Skallagrim's absence, and as such, the lack of plot advancement, it could be a good idea to get a few characters together to form actual factions. Be it of intergalactic size or not; just create a bigger reason to fight than individual goals. Get some faction on faction fighting going on. At least until Skallagrim returns and makes a move with his big bad.

Thoughts?

[So Boerd]

Who is in charge of accepting?

[Green]

That'd be me, LeeRoy and.. err..

[ImportantNobody]

Evvie clone faction? Not sure how well that would fit in, but it could.

Borderlands, anyone? Lol.

I like the idea of a group of heroes taking on the biggest and baddest a faction has to offer. Like me and Melon. If Khan would post, that is... ;)

This guy, right here.

Here's the thing we have to keep in mind if we're going the faction route;

Keep it simple. Try to avoid having a plethora of different intergalactic empires roaming around. Focus on the smaller scale, groups of heroes, mercenaries, or whatever.

But Green, didn't you create a universe-spanning empire? Hypocrite much?'
- Yes, Yes I did. And for that purpose, that faction no longer exists. Hit by a giant beam of plot inconvenience.

That is, if we're even going by that. Anyone got any other ideas as to what the multiverse as a whole can occupy itself with while Skallagrim is away?

Mind you, we're looking for a tempoary common conflict to focus on, and not a universal change of system.

Ah, yeah. That guy. Right there.

Evvie too! You're discriminating against half dragons, aren't you!!! Err...but I'd need to have her at one of her stronger incarnations to deal with the biggest and baddest.

I could maybe adapt S'kara and make him more of a doomsayer trying to warn other universes of the impending bad that awaits them all. But given that's all so horribly far in each universe's future, I don't see how that would change much unless someone was REALLY paranoid.

Yeah. Only way that would have any impact, is if there was an actual universe-destroying threat coming along, which is way outside of our legal tier ratings. Would also overshadow Skallagrim's big bad, whenever he would show up. Hurhm.

[Schradinger]

@Impo: I only mentioned myself and Melon because we're already teamed up and fighting a faction. Khan's, to be precise.

@Green: I don't think you need to get rid of your faction to keep things interesting. Borderlands 2 was hella fun and that was essentially just four heroes uniting against a common enemy faction. Or in my case, one lonely Siren. :( Regardless, having a faction with limitless fodder and the occasional gaggle of named, tiered characters could work out very well. Though we'd need to find a way to keep from having all the characters involved bogged down and forced to wait for a 1 on 1 duel between one character and a faction enemy.

Should look up the basic premise of "Mass Combat" in Exalted... just saiyan...

[Green]

The factions involved should represent a motivation to achieve some greater goal. Something to fight for. A reason for two sides to go up against one another, in what would be more than a one-time skirmish, but a large-scale multiverse spanning race towards something both sides wanted. You know, that kind of thing. Keeps characters in the loop, and prevents us from filling up the character depot with randoms.

[Schradinger]

What about an "evil" faction dedicated to bringing order to chaos by placing the entire multiverse under its rule? That would provide a motivation for both hero and villain types to fight against them, since villains value personal freedom just as much as heroes (except with villains that desire for freedom doesn't extend beyond oneself).

[So Boerd]

Edited sheet, could the acceptors review it? Also, added a picture.

[Salroka]

If I end up sticking around, I could get behind Schradinger's idea.

[ImportantNobody]

Possible ideas:

1. The bad guys could get their hands on a cloning facility to greatly increase their size.

2. The person behind the Evvie clones could be searching to add more DNA into their mix of the greatest fighters. That way they'd have a half dragon with the half human part also having greatly enhanced abilities. They'd want to create the perfect being to conquer the multiverse as an unbeatable Goddess.

I'm heading to bed, so I'll point out the things I saw right away; Thrusters should be high, as Mach 10 top speed is -definitely- high tier. Also, it says that it takes the jet 40 seconds to reach that speed, so it would be nice if you noted the normal/cruising speed of the jet as well.

Also specify to what extent, and how fast the nanobots can do their repairs.

[Schradinger]

Except, why use only one being when you can have billions? And technology that can glass planets?

If I end up making a faction for everyone to fight, I'll probably forego that high-tier techie character I mentioned earlier and focus on the tiered faction enemies all y'all will be going up against.

[So Boerd]

That was from zero. 10 Gs percendicular to the human spine is not incapacitating.

Cruising speed does not really exist, as when the ship is travelling from point A to point B it uses the Alcubierre drive, capable of travelling a lightyear in a day but is completely unable to recieve information from the outside world. When it uses thrusters, it is dogfighting and thus not cruising.
