Omniverse: Brink of Annihilation
The Lore
Life has flourished in the omniverse, as a billion different multiverses with a billion different universes flow around one another, all existing in complete harmony. And yet, a single force has emerged to threaten all of existence. The Anti Spiral has awakened, and it had judged life to be too abundant. Surely the expansion of life will lead to inevitable annihilation. The sheer multiplying quantity of energy would cause the very omniverse to shatter. Thus, all life should be restricted. All life should be suppressed. With these thoughts in mind the Anti Spiral reached out, and enslaved it's entire Multiverse. Many attempted to stop it, but it's godlike power made it impossible to equal, let alone defeat. It erased entire civilisations from existence in moments, and annihilated entire universe. Billions of worlds were cleansed, as the remaining sentient beings were forced into small containment centers where their lives would be regulated. This being transcended it's own multiverse, forging an unstoppable army from the worlds it had conquered. The entire omniverse would be contained, placed within tiny controllable cells and locked away for inspection.
Now heroes must rise up from the entirety of the omniverse to fight the Anti-Spiral. While none may match it's power directly, their combined effort could at least stave off it's armies. And perhaps, with their efforts combined, they could find a way to defeat this nefarious entity once and for all.
Welcome to Omniverse
This rp is based on two other rps I had a lot of fun with, but which unfortunately died before their time. Multiverse Rising and Multiverse at War. Which draw their origin from Multiverse Creek. There's no ongoing narrative, and this story is a completely fresh start. But I hope to create the same atmosphere of wacky adventures combined with fun combat. The scale is set slightly higher in this one, allowing some more powerful characters to be entered. Although characters like Goku and Superman are allowed, beings of that tier will obviously be in a different area from the lower tier characters, fighting the Anti Spiral in a more direct manner.
The Anti Spiral itself is drawn from Gurren Lagann, and I figured it was a fitting antagonist. It's not an entity that's meant to be defeated, and any character going against it in direct combat will be annihilated. But it will spend most of it's time away from the combat, clashing with the godlike beings of various multiverses. No, you're not allowed to play said godlike beings. Because that would create too large of a power gap, I'm already allowing quite a lot.
Hopefully this will be a fun story!
The Rules
1) My word is law. Feel free to argue and debate your case, but once I make a decision that decision is law.
2) Respect other players. No insults to other people, or their characters.
3) No Godmodding. Powerful characters are totally allowed, but don't make your characters unbeatable. Once you're able to casually annihilate universes you know you've overdone it.
4) No autohitting. Make combat fun, and allow people to decide whether an attack hits their character. Also, don't make your character unhittable. Even the best fighters take a hit every now and then.
5) Post a character in the OOC, then move them into the Characters tab once they're accepted.
6) Tell me if you're going to be inactive for a while. If you disappear for 2 weeks or longer without informing me, I will assume you've quit the rp. I'll always send you a PM during these 2 weeks, but if you don't reply your character will be temporarily suspended in time and will be ignored in further posts until the possible event of your return.

Opening Scene
I've got two scenes planned out for this to start with. The first takes place near the Primal Monitor, as the Amalgam Alliance is clashing with the Annihilation Fleet. A massive battle erupts, and the players are tasked with taking down the massive Battlecruiser Absolution, and the many insidious horrors it carries.
The second scene is in the Alliance of Lost Worlds. These guys basically got a whole bunch of different planets and teleported them to a universe far away from the main Annihilation Fleet forces. However, small outshoots of the Annihilation Fleet are still raiding these worlds, and the heroes are tasked with keeping the peace and attempting to save these desperate planets.
Of course, what we open with depends on the characters apped and what you guys want to do. But those are my initial thoughts.
