Welcome to...




The massive space research station stranded in the middle of nowhere in both time and space. You landed here (or will land here; time travel makes grammar truly troublesome! And don't get me started on dimensional travel...) during what you had believed to be a normal day in your home universe. But something went wrong, whether on your end or ours, and now you're here. I am afraid I lack the time, however ironic that statement is, to explain the depth of the incident you have found yourself in. All I can ask of you, stranger(s?), is this;

You will find the secrets to this station, and your key home, with enough exploration, understanding, and a healthy amount of caution. I cannot guarantee the station will be secure, just as I cannot guarantee that some...Less savory types have not have been brought aboard. I can only hope during your time here, you can discover the truth behind me and my people...And perhaps find it in your hearts to set things right, however that could be.

....This is Castellan, Head Researcher and last member of the Chronian race, signing off.



I'm happy to welcome everyone to Multiversal Discord! This RP is gonna have a fun blend of mystery, adventure, action, and plenty of time to have characters interact and develop their relationships of any sort. What's not to love? Now, before, I continue, let's get the rules outta the way, alright?

  • 1: This one's pretty self-explanatory; try not to be a jerk, alright? No one likes trying to play alongside someone whose being all riled up for no reason. And of course, if you have an actual reason to be upset, bring it up to me. It's what I'm here for!
  • 2: Like any good story, there's gotta be stakes, and while I'm not particularly planning on character death anytime soon, characters will be finding themselves under serious threat more often than not, and won't likely escape unscathed. Isn't very interesting if someone wins every time, eh? Which leads into my next rule...
  • 3: No Godmodding, alright? Pretty sure everyone around here's familiar with the term, though the main piece I'm concerned with is making your character seem too perfect. No one perfectly dodges every move, counterattacks at just the right time, and always thinks things through. Characters, no matter how cool, strong, or smart, can make mistakes and be caught off their guard. Don't be afraid to get roughed around; it just makes the turnaround all the cooler ;) On an...Slightly related note, if you read between the lines....
  • 4: Romance is fine, of course, but keep any intense stuff behind the black screen, yeah? Assuming anything like that happens, of course. The ol' fade to black trick always works...
  • 5: On a vaguely similar line, while getting wounded, even grievously so, isn't something I'll be trying to stray away from here, let's keep some excessive stuff clear. No one needs to hear about your innards spilling out or something, right? Right. That falls under torture too; I mean, let's be honest, most bad guys ain't above that kinda thing, but we don't need to get graphic about it.
  • 6: Let's avoid anything political. C'mon, like the fictional bad guys aren't enough to tango with, yeah? It'll just leave a bad taste in most people's mouths, so better to stay hush-hush than come at each other's throats.
  • 7: I'm no grammar nazi...Okay, that's a lie, I totally am. I'll try not to be on your case about it, but try to make sure your punctuation and grammar are proper. Or at least as proper as it needs to be for your character lol.
  • 8: I'm not looking for mile-long posts, but a few paragraphs is a good point to land on. Quality over quantity, I say.
  • 9: I mentioned it somewhat near the beginning, but if anything comes up in/from the RP that you want to talk about with me, I'm all ears. Sorta my job as the GM, y'know?
  • 10: If you've read this far, when you're making your Character Sheet, add a piece near the bottom where you mention your favorite superpower; it'll tell me you actually made it this far into these rules.
  • 11: Last, and most important rule of all...HAVE FUN! It's sorta what we're here for. Y'know, besides the drama, badass action scenes, character development....Okay, maybe there's a little more to this than just the fun. But all of it just adds to it!


Now that you've torn your way through that slog, we can get to the fun part; characters! There's a small rule list here as well, but it's brief compared to the last one, and arguably more important.

  • 1: The character limit is currently four (ideally, two heroes, and two villains, for balance's sake), but might be expanded upon in the future.
  • 2: Characters for this RP are characters from all different forms of fiction; movies, comics, anime, cartoons, you name it, it's here! Probably. The only real qualifiers I look for is that the character has a name, and has at least seen fair screen/page time. Though, if you're willing to put in the extra legwork and work in an undeveloped or underutilized character from the piece of fiction, be my guest! They may be under more scrutiny though, do be warned.
  • 3: While I know being a villain can seem unappealing, I sincerely hope you consider having at least one; otherwise, you might miss out of being on the fun side of some evil plots! And if you are one of said villains, you'll likely have your own hand in creating said plot! The villains of this story will be the real backbone of the storytelling, so the more, the merrier! Not to say I don't have my own plans in motion. Hehehe....
  • 4: This is less a concrete rule and more a suggestion, but I'd recommend sticking your feet in multiple different fictions with your characters of choice; it'll give me more ability to include a variety of storylines, and also keep the variety of your own line-up.


That's that! Now, to wrap this off, you'll be receiving an example Character Sheet to help you get started. Happy posting, folks!

Seems like I've got a fair few folk interested in this! Well then, by tonight, I think you all can expect a proper forum up and running, with a Discord following close behind. Look forward to it!
Yes, characters from canon.
@Hammerman

Glad to hear it! I can't say I'm familiar with the character or series, but that just makes me more excited to see them. :) With any luck, a few more people'll take interest and I'll see to getting this up.
This is an interest check for a concept I've had rattling my old think tank for a while now; a Multiverse-level Crossover RP that'll bring in all sorts of characters, good and bad, and see how they react and adapt to this drastically different situation.

Story-wise, it's pretty simple (to start with). Your character(s) were doing something back in their home universe when a strange incident occurs; sometimes it's unprompted, or perhaps something within that fictional world was triggered to cause this event. Whatever the case, by the end of it, they'll soon be realizing they aren't home anymore, instead being found on-board some form of hyper-complex, massive space station, seemingly outside of the time stream, though also eerily abandoned and in severe disrepair. The only thing they'll be able to figure out about the hulking construct for some time is this; for some reason, whoever or whatever made this station, created it with the intent of simulating dozens, maybe hundreds of different timelines, universes, and scenarios across all of time for reasons unknown.

So in-between trying to find out the true purpose of the station and finding a way back to their respective homes, the characters'll be visiting these astonishing simulated universes, both for simplistic reasons (I mean, ya ain't finding food on an abandoned space station, that's for sure), or more complex ones, not the least of which being these simulations might bring a sign of the purpose of the station, or maybe how the characters can return to their home dimensions. While this is all happening, there is no doubt those with more wicked intents are thinking of ways to abuse and manipulate the new system around them, and how to strike out at the heroes they oh-so-despise.

Character-wise, the sky's the limit! Though, given the nature of this RP, I suggest your character having some sort of combat prowess to speak of; most bad guys are more prone to violence than conversation, after all. Also, of course, stronger characters will be dragged down to a general level playing field to others, especially those with cheat abilities, like time manipulation of any sort, just to name one.

But enough about me yapping! Hopefully this catches the attention of some folk so I can find an excuse to actually make this thing. Here's hoping! And if you've got questions, I'm more than happy to answer.

@Zapdos Looks like this city just entered the Splash Zone! Hopefully he's to your liking. :)


@ZapdosI think I might've mis-stated some things. Firstly;

1: Pete doesn't have much control over said adhesive quality at the moment, and even once he does, it won't change the fact that as far as stopping power goes, he's very lacking; he's only good for stalling adversaries unless he can put his noggin together for a creative solution, which he...Understandably struggles doing. Or assist other people, but in general this team lacks much stopping power right now lol.
2: I mentioned it rather simply. While killing him is a questionable prospect, if you can force him into something, like a jar or the sort, his liquid-like form will shape to fit the new home, and while he's stuck like that, he'll be unable to change back until he can re-assume at least a human-like shape in his slime form. Also, while he won't be dead, it's possible to tear/blow his slime body into pieces, making him take time to reform, which can take several minutes; a lot of valuable time to be effectively out of commission in a combat scenario.
3: This was just me overstating a bit; it can dissolve most things with time. Such as him absorbing theatre garbage and letting it stew for a couple of hours. It is by no means an instantaneous process, and things that strike at him aren't at any risk of being liquefied (until he can figure out how to concentrate that acidic quality some more).

Point is, yeah, he himself isn't under too much risk (unless he acts stupid....Which he certainly will), though he's vulnerable outside of this form. Not to mention, the tension is still there for him; while he's had a few times of being torn apart and put into pieces since his powers manifested, he isn't certain of the limit, nor is he eager to test it, whereas plenty of baddies would be happy to. And sure, maybe he won't have as much personal, bodily stake as some of the other heroes, but that means his stake is his fellow heroes. As the one guy both willing and able to put himself in harm's way, it falls on him to be the frontman of the group, so to speak, and any harm the others might take, he would likely feel falls onto him as the one who should be bearing that weight.

But overall, if I can't get this by, I'll shoot a different concept instead. Sometimes ya got the image in your head, and thinking of it any other way sorta scuffs the whole thing, ya feel? So I'll leave this in your hands.
@Zapdos I hope my gooey friend here will be up to snuff! :)

A Hero RP that isn't dead? Well gosh darn, sign me on!....That, and I really dig the variety of abilities in the cast that I've read, even if it makes me a bit concerned I won't come up with somethin' that good lol. Oh well! Regardless, I'll see about posting up a CS sometime soon-ish
