Star Wars using Fate Core | No System Knowledge Required

Sorry everyone for not getting this off the ground. I’ve been going through some real life mental health stuff like a psychotic episode and the loss of a family member. While I’m doing slightly better now, I still feel that I won’t be able to run this. I apologize to everyone who was interested and wish them well in other RPs, as we might see each other there.

@Dead Cruiser
Part of what I like about Multiverse RPs is that you can do some zany character choices. I think your idea is both zany, but also wouldn't break the game, so I'll allow it.

Sorry about the wait. I kind of assumed most people expected a Discord as they are more active there. But truthfully I'm not on Discord much and would be perfectly fine communicating by forum only. So for those who have got a grasp on the rules, I would like you to create a high concept and trouble for your character. Basically how would you describe them simply and what is the biggest issue in their life. Once that's done we can do the other aspects, skills and stunts.

Hey everybody, sorry about the delay. I’ve posted the OOC thread: right here. Please move all character discussions to the OOC thread. There is a character sheet template there, as well as my character sheet, which you don’t need to go in as depth as I did. Once you have a sheet ready, please post it in the OOC.

Gods of the Multiverse

Riardo Caso

Name: Riardo Caso

Age: 64

Gender: Male

Race: Moon Neokrin. Riardo is a Neokrin, a race of long lived humanoids that are divided into the Sun and Moon sub-races. The Sun Neokrin typically have gold skin and live in cities and are more civilized. The Moon Neokrin on the other hand are gray in skin color and live more as nomads, staying in the wilds and only coming to civilization occasionally. Both types tend to have magical powers, and the study of such powers is where they come together.

Another key aspect of Neokrin culture, both Sun and Moon, is the wearing of ceremonial masks. Only very young children are allowed to be seen without a mask on, as by age ten most Neokrin villages will start assigning chores to the children. Most Neokrin masks denote one’s rank or role in society, so that anyone would know just by looking. However, in extreme cases, a particular Neokrin will be gifted an unique mask in honor of some special achievement. No one else is allowed to wear the same style mask as the unique one.

Appearance: Riardo stands at 6’3’’, a little tall for his people. Otherwise he looks like an average Moon Neokrin, with ashen gray skin, long black hair, bright red eyes, and long pointed ears. His build is quite athletic as he spends most of the time on the move. A life time of fighting monsters has left his body covered in scars, bruises and other damages. Like all Neokrin, Riardo wears a mask at all times. However, he was gifted an unique mask. This mask is silver in color, with long wings jutting out it’s sides, and three fangs going down to cover Riardo’s mouth.

Riardo tends to wear simple clothing, usually darker in color, such as a traveler’s robe and a plain shirt. On his feet are a pair of thick boots, the toughest piece in all of his attire. Around his waist, Riardo has a leather belt, with his various weapons attached to it. On his back is a small sack to carry other essentials and gold.

Home World: Ahurea. This is a world comprised of a single super-continent, a gigantic mass of land that runs from the most northern seas to the most southern seas. A great wall divides north and south Ahurea, built by a rare alliance of Sun and Moon Neokrin to keep out the Saurians, the prominent species of south Ahurea. The various environments of Ahurea are mostly separate with a tundra to the north, a vast smattering of tropical islands to the west, a dense forest to the east, plains in the central lands, and a massive jungle to the south.

Neokrin mostly live in the central and western lands of Ahurea, having built huge cities across those lands. The Sun Neokrin mainly inhabit these cities, also having a complex religion that worships a Pantheon of Neokrin Gods and Goddesses. Moon Neokrin on the other hand are less religious and will inhabit parts of the eastern forest, even with it teeming with monsters.

In the last few generations, there was massive upheaval in the Neokrin religion when the former King of the Gods was killed in a coup by his siblings. His body fell from the heavens before landing in the tundra to the north. The Neokrin attempted to find the body, but learned that there bodies were not suitable for the cold of the north and called off the expedition. Since then, the former King of the Gods’ body has been absorbed into the world, saturating it in mana. With each new generation, it now seems that more and more Neokrin and Saurians are borne with magic. The most recent statistic is about 70% of newborns have innate magic.

South of the wall and in the massive jungle exists the Saurians, a race of dinosaur like people. Never united like the Neokrin, the Saurians will rob and pillage any nearby settlements never really forming alliances. The Neokrin look down on the Saurians for reasons like their primitive nature, short life span, and worshiping nature instead of Gods.

Patron Deity: Yakig. The God of Stars, Travel, and Courage, Yakig was a fierce warrior among the Gods of Ahurea. However, he didn’t go along with the killing of the King of Gods, and left heaven to travel the stars. It was there that he encountered Pax Celestia, becoming a member. He now grants blessings to wandering loners, often making them his Champion.

Champion’s Blessing: The Starlight Lance. Forged from the embers of a dying star, this lance is made of energy. It appears as a blue lance covered in stars, with a slight shimmer around it. This lance is unbreakable and can help channel mana, allowing Riardo to fire his lightning magic. When not in use, the Starlight Lance can combine with its user, appearing as a star burst tattoo on his left hand.

Inventory: As a monster hunter, Riardo keeps various weapons on himself. On one hip is a short sword, while the other one has a Sun Neokrin made crossbow. Various small knives and bolts for the crossbow are stored around Riardo’s body. In his backpack, Riardo keeps some rations, a bedroll, healing potion, and a few coins of gold, seeing as most worlds accept gold pieces.

Magic: Like most of his generation, Riardo was born with magical powers. By channeling the mana that permeates his world, Riardo can store it for later use. Riardo’s primary aptitude is in lightning magic and speed magic. Riardo can create a magic storm within his body, expelling it as lightning from his fingers. He can also burn his mana reserve to increase his natural speed, being able to outrun most mortals if he put all of his mana into it.

A downside to his lightning magic is Riardo’s lack of control. Having some dangerous mishaps in the past, Riardo is reluctant to use it at full power. He also knows not to use it while in water as it will hit himself as well. The speed magic on the other hand has a problem in that it burns through mana very fast. The faster Riardo moves, the faster his mana reserves deplete. Once out of mana Riardo can’t cast magic until he is able to recharge. While his body does naturally produce small quantities of mana, it is easier to recharge while being in a world heavy in natural mana.

Riardo’s Champion’s blessing, the Starlight Lance, also can affect his mana use. The lance itself can store mana as well, giving Riardo a larger reserve to work with. The lance can also be a focus for his magic, allowing him to fire lightning bolts with greater ease and less of a chance of going wrong.

Skills: From a young age Riardo has always been a natural athlete, outperforming his peers. This ability was only enhanced when he learned to use speed magic. Riardo’s mother was a herbalist and passed down those skills to her son. After becoming a monster hunter’s apprentice, Riardo was trained in sword fighting, crossbow accuracy, and tracking.

While Riardo won’t admit it, he really is a good cook, making tasty meals out of limited food choices. He really has a flair for baking, but can only really realistically use said skill while in civilization.

Personality: Riardo is a very competitive person, always trying to one up his peers from a young age. This meant that he’s not always the easiest person to be around. However he does care about others, especially those who he views as not capable of helping themselves. This is why he exceeds as a monster hunter as he refuses to give up on a mission.

While Riardo is massively skilled, he has messed up bad from time to time. Misuse of his lightning magic resulted in the death of someone he cared about, causing him to second guess ever using that magic. To compensate for this error, Riardo spends plenty of time training, just to make sure that he is always prepared and will do the right thing.

Riardo also harbors a deep loneliness, finding it hard to truly connect with others. He is the perpetual wanderer, never laying down roots. This outlook on the world is actually what attracted Yakig to Riardo as it means he would be more willing to leave his world and fight as a Champion.

History: Born on the same day as the 100th anniversary of the coronation of the Sun Neokrin king, Riardo’s birth was mostly ignored in his village. As he was not their first child, in fact their fifth, even Riardo’s parents mostly shrugged off his birth. Instead the young Neokrin would get along best with a brother that was only a year older. The two would play together and with the other mask less children of the village, getting into trouble quite often.

But then Riardo lost his play friend brother when he was given a mask and a role. Made a farm hand, the brother would work far from Riardo’s family’s hut. It wouldn’t be too long before Riardo himself was given a mask, however the village elder would declare him a scout. His family shocked by this, Riardo decided to go along with it. Sent away from from his village, Riardo would end up at an old church that doubled as an academy for scouts.

Physically, Riardo would excel in his studies, but academically he fell behind. As such he was sent to serve at an obscure outpost far away from Moon Neokrin society. Riardo hated this decision as he wanted to do something proper with his life. That chance came when he was traveling to the outpost with other failed cadets, when they were attacked by a roaming monster. In the ensuing battle, Riardo would call upon his lightning magic for the first time, killing the monster, but also injuring a fellow scout.

Following this incident, Riardo was recalled to the Neokrin capital city. This is where he first saw a Sun Neokrin and heard tales of the Saurians to the south. A Moon Neokrin lord would take Riardo under his wing, intending to make him a monster hunter. To that end, Riardo would train in the capital for several years, before being sent to a different master for a few years. This continued for about a dozen years, before Riardo was recognized as an official monster hunter.

Now with status, Riardo traveled to the east of Ahurea, right to the border with the dark woods. There he would meet and eventually fall in love with Ascelle, a female Moon Neokrin monster hunter. The two would work together, rising through the ranks of the monster hunters. The pair would even decide to hunt down a monster out of their league, the forest Behemoth. The pair would find the monster, only for it to be much stronger than they thought. Backed into a corner, Riardo released his full power lightning magic, destroying that part of the woods.

In the aftermath, the Behemoth was dead, but so was Ascelle, burnt alive by the magical outburst. Following this Riardo lied about how Ascelle died and also vowed to never use his magic at full power again. Instead he started to rely on his hunting lance, deciding to do things the old fashioned way. Riardo would continue to hunt monsters for several years, making his name known in the local region.

A turning point in Riardo’s life would happen when the Sun Neokrin king would come to the region on a trip. The king brought along his youngest son and daughter, only for them to be snatched by a Hag and taken to the dark woods. As soon as the king realized this, he ordered all monster hunters, knights, wizards, or other people who could fight to rescue them. Naturally Riardo would go as well, going headfirst into the woods.

By luck, Riardo would become the first one to find the Hag, operating out of a cave underneath a waterfall. Riardo would find that both royal heirs were still alive and would help them flee. The Hag would pursue, only for Riardo to impale it with his lance, breaking it in the process.

Riardo would emerge from the dark woods with the children in tow. The king was overwhelmed and offered Riardo the position of master monster hunter as a reward. Riardo would turn him down, not wanting a position of authority. However, the king would not let him turn down receiving an unique mask for his deeds.

Following these accolades, Riardo took a break from monster hunting to travel the countryside. He would eventually end up in his home village where he had become something of a celebrity. Wondering what to do with his life now, Riardo’s mother suggested looking for divine inspiration. So that night, Riardo prayed for the first time since being a child.

Surprisingly enough, a God answered. The elusive God Yakig had his eyes on Riardo and thus spoke to him. Impressed by his actions, Yakig would offer Riardo the chance to become his Champion, to serve the Gods. On an impulse, Riardo accepted. He would then be granted a new lance made of starlight, before being taken away from Ahurea. It would only be later that Riardo learned that Yakig’s previous Champion had died in a brutal battle that massively depleted the ranks of Pax Celestia.

Extra/Notes: Riardo had never seen a Human before leaving his world, and now questions why they are so far spread across the Multiverse. Also his theme song is this (or really anything else from this album.)

Gods of the Multiverse

PREMISE

Since time immemorial, there has been an infinite amount of worlds. While some were similar, and others vastly different, one thing they had in common is that they were ruled over by Gods and Goddesses of some variety. These higher beings ruled over the lesser beings that called those worlds home, giving them instructions, gifts, and when necessary, punishments. However, most Gods would not be satisfied with just their world and would learn of the other worlds, of the Multiverse.

In time, beings began to travel from one world to another, bringing knowledge and magic with them. The Gods of these different worlds would not always get along, so soon divine battles broke out between worlds. These titanic conflicts would leave whole worlds destroyed, their pantheon of Gods decimated. After the destruction of far too many worlds, a treaty would be signed by the Gods, forbidding their direct involvement in the wars.

Instead, each God or Goddess would pick a Champion, a mortal from their own world. Bestowed a boon known as a Champion’s Blessing, these warriors would swear fealty to their patron God. Alongside other Champions who served Gods in the same alliance, the empowered mortals would traverse the Multiverse, doing the will of their God.

There would exist countless alliances of Gods across all of creation, each one with a different name. However this story focuses on Pax Celestia, a rather smaller alliance of Gods. Following a massive defeat against another alliance that cost it many Champions, the Pax Celestia is attempting to rebuild, recruiting younger Gods and new Champions. But amid this constant battle for dominance, a dark power grows, one stronger than any God alliance.

PLAYER ROLE

Each player will make a character who is a newer Champion to a God. As such you will need to come up with a Champion, patron God, and original world, as this is not fandom based. If players want to collaborate and say that they are from the same world, that would be fine, by I just ask that everyone has their own different patron God or Goddess. As servants of the Pax Celestia, these Champions would be traveling to various worlds at their lord’s command.

Prior to being picked as a Champion, all characters were exceptional mortals, whether they be a wizard, knight, or someone else of skill. They are further enhanced by their God’s Champion’s Blessing. This can be a weapon, armor, other type of item, pet or mount, or even an enchantment. Basically a gift from your patron that will help you stay alive.

As far as player race, I’m open to pretty much anything as long as it’s fantasy themed and not overpowered. I’m also really open on how magic works as each character is literally from another world. I ask that you don’t go overboard with it, and try to maintain sense and some kind of theme.

RULES

• This RP is rated PG-13. Please avoid detailed descriptions of gore or sexual situations.

Gods of the Multiverse - A world hopping fantasy adventure

@All Might
That sounds really interesting. It would be interesting to see how people from other universes would react to an archer riding a giant elephant.

@Dead Cruiser
That is a very different concept. While I’m tentatively saying yes, I would need more details in a character sheet before I’m fully sold. Definitely an idea I didn’t consider.

@Riffus Maximus
The party could always use a healer. Actually one of the character concepts I was considering was an elf serving a moon God.

@Lurking Shadow
Lots of ideas there. For the first one, I could see an altruistic necromancer being fine. Perhaps necromancy is no big deal in their world, but it is seen as evil in the various worlds they travel to. The second primitive culture would also fit this RP. But the third idea with the crystal infection is a little iffy as I’m not sure if Pax Celestia would accept a God who is actively assimilating other beings into its followers.

@ActRaiserTheReturned
Morally gray wizard would work.

@Crimson Flame
A Fairy prince would be fine, especially if you already have a world in mind.

@Kumbaris
Glad to have you. Please send me that PM.

@Teyao
Well if you decide to join this, do you have any character in mind?

---

So I’ve decided on a character. He’s from an original race of people who wear masks that denote role or rank in society. After a God was killed and his body was absorbed into the ground, it released massive amounts of Mana, causing about 70% of the population to be born with some kind of magic. My character would have lightning and speed magic and would be a professional monster hunter. Eventually he would be noticed by the God of Stars, Travel, and Courage. Given a magical Starlight Lance, my character would become a replacement Champion for the God after the previous one was killed in battle.

Also this RP got way more interest than I thought it would. As such I’ll cut off new players when I post the OOC thread in a few days. Didn’t think this would catch on so much.

Once everyone is caught up with the rule set please let me know. If you have any questions, please ask. Once everyone is comfortable with the rules I’ll create a Discord so that we can do collaborative character creation easier.

Gods of the Multiverse - A world hopping fantasy adventure

@All Might
Great to have you! Any character concepts yet?

@Dead Cruiser
Great question. I’m intending for Pax Celestia to be an alliance of Good or Neutral Gods, if we are going by D&D alignments. Basically mostly heroic, but there is a little bit a wiggle room for darker concepts.

@Crimson Flame
If you do decide on joining that would be great. I wonder if any kind of character immediately jumps out to you based on the concept.

@The Muse
Welcome to the RP! Given any thought to what character you want to play yet?

@Lurking Shadow
Glad that you’re intrigued. As I wrote earlier in this post, Pax Celestia is mostly going to be Good to Neutral alignment Gods, though they occasionally let in darker beings. While I’m trying to avoid any outright villainous characters, deeply flawed and/or troubled Champions would be fine.

@Riffus Maximus
Thanks for the interest. Do you have any character ideas yet?

@Tangy
And another interested party! I didn’t think this idea would prove so popular. Like I asked everyone else, do you have some kind of character in mind?

@Mistress Dizzy
Cool. Do you need a refresher of the rules? If so the links in previous posts still work.

@mattmanganon
What kind of pilot were you thinking? Also if you don’t know how to play Fate Core, the first post of the thread has links to both the rulebook and Star Wars hack. Also another post has some helpful videos.

@ErsatzEmpress
Awesome to see someone else interested. Can I get some more info on your Quarren? Also if you’ve never played Fate Core before, please refer to the resources listed above.
