The multiverse is wild and untamed. Universes defined by insane conflicts between warmongers prey upon universes defined by global harmony and bliss. The horrors of narrative causality cause once-logical worlds to spiral into madness working on its own rules. Beleaguered factions of exiles and corporatist entrepreneurs desperately attempt to eke out an existence in lands wholly foreign to them. At the center of this all, is you. You are a member of the Guardians, a benevolent group of universes designed to protect and unite the multiverse, even at the cost of their own lives. There are many thousands of universes working with the Guardians, and each of them understands the gravity of the multiverse. Though it is unlikely that peace will ever come to the multiverse, the Guardians are entirely willing to make it so. You are members of the Peacekeepers, designed to ensure the universes under the Guardians' watchful eye remain safe and secure. You will have to deal with both intra-universal conflict and vicious dangers working from within a universe's borders. Your job is hard and thankless, but it is vital for the inner workings of the Guardians. If the Peacekeepers were to fail, the Guardians and their universes would fall like a house of cards under a mighty gale. Greatest among the Peacekeepers are the Sentinels. The Sentinels are recruited from the best Peacekeepers, known for their phenomenal strength, valor, intelligence, and magical powers. You are quite possibly the finest division of Sentinels the Guardians have ever seen. Don't expect to be given the easy jobs... New universes routinely come into the fold of the Guardians, and as Peacekeepers you are expected to ease them into their position amongst the rest of the Guardians' universes. This will be a very challenging prospect indeed, but will almost certainly be rewarding. The Peacekeepers are not only unbeatable fighters, but they are fantastic diplomats! The Peacekeepers are headed by an enigmatic figure known only as "The Judge". The Judge rarely speaks, preferring to give orders through his many disciples. The upper echelons of the Peacekeepers take on a strangely theocratic bent. It seems the Peacekeepers hide a dark secret... The multiverse is a deep and terrifying place, with a terrifying secret lying behind it all. Chaos will run wild, if you slack off for even a moment. Will you be able to defend the few bastions of order within the multiverse, or will you fail and crush civilization's last hope for unification? The choice is yours. In effect, you are a cop. Your job is to protect the multiverse from all sorts of dangers.
Are you ready to protect and serve?

I'm willing to give this a go. BUT... Question #1: What kind of universes are going to appear? (Is it mainly anime? Or comic? Or TV show?) Question #2: Can a player have more than one character?

This sounds a TON like an RP I tried to run a few times, but the one I did had the player characters as the absolute D-listers of the multiverse cops, powerful individuals who were just unreliable or unskilled enough that they didn't want them to be a liability to a better team but were too useful to fire. Depending on what stuff is allowed / what kinda game this looks like, I may join.

#1. For the most part, you're going to be working with any universe that would logically gel with a unified civilization. So, there'll be universes from all forms of media, but you won't be going right into something like Warhammer 40k or Mad Max. #2. Of course players can have multiple characters. The Peacekeepers are a massive force, and there's multiple "chapters" of Sentinels. I have no doubt in my mind that this premise has been done before. Multiversal settings are a mainstay of RPGuild, and everyone wants to play the 'good guys'. I'll allow any kind of character, so long as they'd logically make sense in a primarily political climate. Judge Dredd and Teyrn Loghain would make some semblance of sense, but guys like Sylar and Light wouldn't, you know?

You have my attention. Are you going to post an example CS? Also, what type of multiverse would it be like? Would it be like Star Trek or Magic: The Gathering?

I will make an example CS once the thread comes up. In regards to how the multiverse works, I'm thinking it'd be something like an hourglass-figure. On one end, there are the inherently idealistic universes like Gurren Lagann, where sufficient motivation can manipulate reality just as strongly as any magic. On the other end, there are the more cynical and fatalistic universes like old-fashioned Norse mythology, where things are significantly more clear-cut, and all things work cyclically. In the middle are the "Ideal Universes", ones very close to how our reality works, where self-made men exist, but reality works in rigid ways. Understandably, this RP will be largely set in the middle universes, and will probably delve deep into your character's personal philosophies on what, exactly, is the Ideal Universe.

Thank you for the speedy reply.
