Also, Bonesaw is great and horrifying! Most that would need tuning down is likely her ability to survive some extreme things like decapitation and the like. But luckily, she won't be doing much dying ideally. Send her in!

IC is now up! Heroes will be cropping up in the Control Center alongside Ben, while baddies will be popping into one of the many Simulated Universes alongside The Forever King.

@Lazaria As for Agatha here, yeah, a lot of small limiters places here and there. So I'll just list them off for ease.

• Magical Negation/Reflection - She'll find it more difficult to reflect/negate magic. Maybe not impossible, but certainly challenging. She can still resist magical assaults though.
• Sealing - This sounds like quite the power, so I'll say that to do it under her new restrictions, she'd need a fair bit of time and plenty of effort.
• Soul Manipulation - Mostly fine, just don't expect her to pull a resurrection move anytime soon lol.
• Telekinesis - Weakened down to where she won't just crumple people with a thought xD.
• Telepathy - Main changes would be that altering someone's memories or outright controlling them would be far more challenging.
• Teleportation - She can do smaller teleportation moves with some ease, but the longer the distance and more people she's bringing, the harder it is and more time she'll need to prepare. Theoretically it could teleport people directly outside of a Simulation if necessary, but it'll be hella difficult.
• Transmutation - Sounds cool, as long as she isn't turning people into jelly 'n stuff. lmao

Overall though, she sounds cool! And it'll be fun to have a baddie with some magical talent for certain. Accepted!

Seriously? The one time Ben has an off-day, and it couldn't even be a cool emergency. His grandpa just sent him a message about the Forever Knights stirring up trouble un Undertown again. Just his luck most of the Plumbers were off-world. Something about Vulkanus being up to some seriously shady stuff in some remote corner of the galaxy. Not to mention Rook taking the week off to go visit the family on Revonnah. Ugh...

Well, heroics never waited for personal life. Mr. Smoothy would have to wait for today.

And thus, that was how he ended up near the center of Undertown, after having thrashed through a small army of knights as Four Arms; an imposing, ten-foot-tall tower of muscle with double the arms for double the pain.

Four Arms

"Seriously guys, how many times do I gotta teach this lesson?" Ben spoke, his voice tough and gravelly to match his Tetramand form as he took two Forever Knights and unceremoniously had their heads meet, the clank of helmet armor ringing out as they hit the ground with a grunt.

"So what is it this time? Another DNA bomb? I swear, if it's another DNA bomb..." The remainder of the knight grunts rushed forward, to which Four Arms only grinned. With a clap of his hands, the shockwave was enough to floor the lot of them. However, nearing the center of the commotion, Ben couldn't help but have his jaw hang. Atop a spire-like device, clearly ready to release some unspeakable evil across all of Undertown, was a familiar, and shocking, face..

"Driscoll?!"

"The one and only."

With a tremendous leap, the armored king landed down to the battlefield below, quaking the ground enough to even knock Four Arms off balance, if only for a moment. However, as Ben was prepared to talk to and likely snark at Driscoll, he instead caught a powerful optic beam to the chest, skidding the Tetramand into the stone roads of Undertown and several dozen feet back.

"Ugh...Did he always pack that much of a punch?" Four Arms puzzled to himself, lifting up from the street rubble, finding himself already winded. That blast had some sting to it for sure...But before he could think, he could see the Forever King readying another blast. With seconds to spare, he slammed the dial on his waist. By the time the blast hit, Ben was gone...But a new voice could be heard in the skies.

Jetray

"I feel like we're skipping some steps here. Usually, this is the part where we give witty jabs at each other while you spill the evil plan." The grinning Aerophibian could be seen in the heights of Undertown, keeping a close eye on Driscoll and his device. Growling in annoyance, the King attempted a few more times to unleash his optical beam, but each one a miss; Jetray was far too fast for him.

"I must admit, this one was unprecedented...But you would be a fool to think me outmatched, Tennyson!" Without warning, a thin red line of energy shot from the wrist of Driscoll's suit; Jetray reacted as fast as he could under the surprise move, but it just managed to clip his foot. For this maneuver, it was more than enough. Barely able to offer a yell of panic, Ben found himself being hurled from the skies back to hard earth, smashing into solid stone with a groan. Retracting his tether, the king made his approach to what he believed was a defeated Ben 10...A reckless mistake, to be certain, but maybe not unwarranted.

Grunting with effort, the Aerophibian weakly rose up to his knees, dazed and weak from the brutal slam. "So, he's strong...And got some new tricks. Maybe it's time for one he won't be ready for." Ben whispered to himself, already hatching a scheme in his head as, only partially an act, he collapsed to the ground once more as Driscoll arrived to the defeated hero.

"Ah. So this is how the great Ben Tennyson falls. With a whimper..." With a crushing grip, the Forever King grasped Jetray, dragging him up face-to-face with him. "And to think, I had planned for far greater contingencies than this...How sad. Now, hero, you may watch as your precious Undertown will soon be laid to waste!" While his weakness was partially feigned, it was true Ben was having difficulty staying conscious. But what he saw next shocked him back to his senses.

Around the entirety of Undertown, an energy barrier crackled to life, likely ensnaring all the residents there at the time. An innumerable amount of alien civilians. Ben didn't know where this was leading, but his stomach was already curling. "Now, as much as I'd love for you to see the fruits of my labor, I'm afrai-AGH!" His attention torn away for a moment too long, Ben had shifted yet again, as the Forever King's grip on the hero was loosened, and he caught a face full of radioactive energy.

NRG

The Forever King was sent sprawling across the street as Ben's new form staggered into standing upright, a deep Russian accent coming from the clanging steel of the suit. "Sorry Driscoll, but the show's over. I don't know how tough the new suit is, but I doubt it took a point-blank blast like that well. So just sit back, or I'll put you on your rear again." The heavy-duty suit began to lumber its way across the empty street to the strange device. He'd like to just melt through it and be done with it, but who knows what that'd do...

But with his attention away from Driscoll, the King made a desperate move. With a switch emerging on one of the suit's hands, he pressed the button...And the machine began its dark work.

Immediately NRG snapped to attention, glaring over to Driscoll. His voice, while he tried to keep it steady, was edged with a bit of fear and confusion. "Driscoll! What did you do?!" He was met with dry laughter as the Forever King stood once more, though his helm notably burned and damaged. "It is simple...This is a temporal displacer. In other words, it takes things from one place in space to another. Though, this one..." His laughter, at first humorless and devoid of energy, grew in adulation and triumph. "It's programmed to transport everything in a massive radius into the nothingness of space! Of course, the barrier will prevent it from reaching Bellwood, and I have it set to transport creatures that do not match Human DNA."

If Ben could go pale, he would've. This thing will strand thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of aliens, in the middle of space! It was certain death for nearly all of them! Out of snark, the only thing the hero could give was a growl, and a declaration. "I'll stop it!" While he wasn't sure how he would, he knew his best bet, given how dangerous the thing already looked, crackling with energy and threatening to go off.

With a flash of emerald light, Ben made his last transformation, the last hope for stopping this catastrophe.

Feedback

"Driscoll, if you've got half a mind, steer clear!" This new form's voice crackled like static, as Feedback jammed his fingers into the Temporal Displacer, energy siphoning off into the Conductoid. But still...It wasn't enough! In desperation, he plugged in his antennae and tail in, trying to take on as much power as he could from this thing. He could feel it slowing down, but it wasn't stopping! As Ben grit his teeth and put his all into it, he could tell it wasn't going to be enough...He failed.

In the last moment, however, he found himself tackled by Driscoll. "This is my MOMENT! You dare, Tennyson?!" With the electrical charge of Driscoll intermixing into the process, the two of them were caught entirely off-guard as a blinding flash engulfed the both of them. In the end, the Temporal Displacer was stopped....But what of Ben Tennyson and the Forever King?

Feedback found himself knocked to the ground of a strange new environment; a room filled with cords and screens, and at its center, a towering device that, unbeknownst to the Defender of Earth, served as the de-powered core of what was a massive structure soon to be known as the Paradox Engine...

What Feedback did know is that he had appeared in a weird dark room and was filled to the brim with energy threatening to blow this place apart. "Oh man, oh man...Gotta discharge this somewhere!" Not sure of what to do, the Conductoid casually plugged himself into the core, outletting all the siphoned power, and with it, restoring energy to the station as the room suddenly brightened, with screens he couldn't possibly comprehend flickering to life.

"Ah, crap. Looks like things just got complicated..." And as he spoke, more flashes of light began to emerge. "...And I might've spoken too soon."

Location: Paradox Engine, Simulated Universe #1 (Open Fields, Current Simulation: Unknown)

When Driscoll came to, the only thing he could think of was his defeat. Yet again, in spite of all his planning, years of effort, he was waylaid once more! He couldn't help but slam his fists to the ground in fury, craterizing the beautiful, luscious grass plains around him...Which is what brought him to his senses.

"Well then. This is neither the cold, emptiness of space, nor Undertown. It seems my plan was less foiled, and more...Complicated." Uncertain of his surroundings, he tried to get his bearings, but as far as the eye could see was the windy grasslands, scenically peaceful, in stark contrast to the crater he had made. Wherever he was, he had the strange sense it wasn't quite Earth...And this was only impounded as familiar flashes of light began to emerge across the plains.

"And so the plot thickens..."

Driscoll AKA The Forever King

---

---

"Now I will be The Forever King!"

---

---

Name: Driscoll

Nicknames/Titles: The Forever King

Age: Unknown (roughly middle-aged)

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Villain

Personality: Driscoll is an arrogant, sadistic, and overall cold man, though he is not without his charm; after all, he managed to rally ten of Ben's villains into a cohesive (enough) team to try and crush the Tennyson family once and for all. It didn't quite end that way, but it went further than most villainous teams since have. He possesses a dry wit to him, in contrast to Benjamin's direct snark, and surprisingly, he has some honor to him, though he is known for only being concerned with 'allies' for as long as they can serve a use to him.

His main driving force is a hatred for aliens, much like the rest of the Forever Knights, but his burns even deeper than most, hailing even from his years in the Plumbers force.

Biography: Driscoll was originally a member of The Plumbers, an intergalactic police force that handles any situations; extraterrestrial, extrasensory, extraordinary. Of course, unlike many Plumbers, he had darker motives among the force. When Driscoll as a young man learned that aliens exist, and all the troubles they caused Earth, that was when his ire began, and only grew over time as a Plumber.

Eventually he was one of the best, a veteran of the force. However, when he proposed that the Plumbers should begin to repurpose alien tech they confiscated over the years and was overturned on the matter, he took it into his own hands. Eventually, it was discovered that he was stealing technology from Plumber vaults and using it for himself. From there, there was only one group a man like him could turn to.

The Forever Knights.

An order of knights that had existed since the medieval ages, they too sought to turn alien weaponry on those who would trespass on Earth, and were willing to go to any extremes to ensure the safety of the planet. A sentiment Driscoll agreed with all too much. It didn't take long for him to ascend up the rank, and eventually, he put a plan into motion to become the ruler of the Knights; their Forever King.

This plot was foiled by the Tennysons in his hour of triumph, when the Sub-Energy, a source of near limitless power and one of the most valued pieces of tech stashed away by the Plumbers, was unceremoniously eaten by young Ben as Upchuck, and promptly used to nearly blast Driscoll into the atmosphere, his suit in shambles and the Negative 10 in ruins.

After that, there was a time when he was once again a simple knight of the Forever Knights, though still favorably positioned. Eventually, it was believed he died in the battle against Dagon, a world-conquering demon that sought control of all dimensions. However, this was not true; while he ended up gravely injured, he escaped to fight another day...And return to plotting to destroy Tennyson, and usurp him as the Defender of Earth.

The day for that plan...Is today.

Powers/Skills:

• Leadership - Driscoll is cunning and charismatic, two features that work well for the role of a leader. This was proven when he managed to unite ten of Benjamin's enemies, even though none of them had any connection to the Forever Knights prior. Doubtless, given the time and patience, he could convince others to work alongside him and rally a new team together...
• Combat Experience - While a normal human by all standards, Driscoll has seen decades of combat, and they've served him well. He is very skilled in hand-to-hand, martial combat, and even ranged weaponry.
• The Forever King Suit - Driscoll's suit, which I'll be calling his Battle Armor for simplicity moving on, is an impressive piece of tech, even back when he faced off against a 10-year-old Tennyson; and now, it's been far improved. Obviously, it makes him far stronger and tougher than normal, but also, in spite of the bulky appearance, he's fairly faster now as well. These are all obvious parts to the armor, but I'll go in-depth on some new improvements he'd had done. Also, the suit runs off the Sub-Energy, making it have nearly flawless power production, able to likely function without end for decades if he so wished.
• High-Pressure Water Cannon - Seemingly an odd addition, Driscoll's Battle Armor can morph its left arm into a water cannon. While this was put in for the express purpose of combating Tennyson's Pyronite form (Heatblast), the sheer volume and pressure behind it would be enough to break bones and knock even hardy individuals off balance.
• Sonic Cannon - Another strange choice at first, the Battle Armor can morph the right arm into a sonic cannon, releasing a loud and powerful pulse of sonic energy. This was designed in mind to incapacitate Ben's Vulpimancer form (Wildmutt), as well as likely kill if not incapacitate his Petrosapien form (Diamondhead).
• Combat Prediction System - The system on board his Battle Armor is able to identify the movements and attacks made by opponents and offer potential counteroffensive measures. While generally useful, its main purpose was to counter Ben's Kineceleran form (XLR8).
• Energy Projection/Creation - Driscoll's suit is capable of producing powerful, highly dangerous concentrated blasts of pure energy, namely from the hand, or for a more deadly attack, directly from the helmet's visor. Additionally, he can form some basic constructs of this energy; namely medieval weapons, like swords, shields, axes or more, but also importantly a powerful energy tether, which was made in mind to stop flying enemies, most notably (for Driscoll, who is unaware of most of Ben's more recent aliens), his Lepidopterran form (Stinkfly).
• Electrical Discharge - While being able to produce the powerful energy attacks mentioned prior, the suit also possesses electrokinetic capabilities, though they are short range. He can temporarily charge the suit with an electrical current, and enhance his unarmed strikes with some electric shocks. This was made in mind for Ben's Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade).
• Anti-Phasing Slime - The suit is able to project a slimy substance with an almost syrup-like consistency; very sticky, and hard to get off. Creatures with the slime attached to them will find themselves unable to phase in and out of corporeality, making them vulnerable, and also making invisibility much harder to pull off. Two traits perfect for hunting Ben's Ectonurite form (Ghostfreak).
• Potent Herbicide - The suit can emit a greenish gas that will quickly kill off flora in a radius around it. Ideally, it is meant to either kill Ben's Florauna form (Wildvine), or weaken its ability to fight/ability to regenerate.
• Insulated Plating - The suit is highly resilient to electrical attacks, and trying to siphon energy from the suit, like, say, Ben's Nosedeenian form (Buzzshock) could do, is extremely difficult.
• Internal Heating System - To prevent being frozen over, the suit's system constantly monitors the surrounding temperature, and if it declines past a point, the armor begins to naturally heat itself up to incredible degrees, likely freeing him from any freezing prisons, such as ones caused by Ben's Polar Mandarzill (Articguana).
• Sub-Energy Defensive Measures - If anything tries to breach the chest plate of the Battle Armor, in order to defend the Sub-Energy from any tampering, the suit will emit a high-power pulse of energy and electricity in equal measures, likely to ward off the would-be thief, if not frying them altogether. Though it is likely to leave the suit briefly weakened and exposed for a time. Designed due to how his first defeat was suffered, having the original Sub-Energy taken and...Eaten.

Other: Yeah, Driscoll here got a huge power glow-up; he'll be fun! xD

@Randomness Ooh, our first proper villain! sorrynotsorry Jason Cyrus is an unexpected choice, but a very cool one at that! He's definitely accepted, although unsurprisingly, the Time/Space Manipulating capabilities of Dialga/Palkia respectively will be fairly restrained.

But yes, he's accepted! Glad to have you.

Multiversal Discord: The Mass-Scale Crossover RP

You're good my man! I, uh, sorta forgot to make a review, but, well...Bruno is Bruno, I ain't got much to say. He's good to go! Hope he's ready to deal with some teenagers....And a really, really old man. xD

Multiversal Discord: The Mass-Scale Crossover RP

I would love to see Armstrong. Also yeah, theoretically Ben can transform into a Stand user, but only if the Omnitrix had its safeguard against mutant forms removed. As it stands (heh), Stand users are (mostly) Humans with a genetic/spiritual abnormality to them, and would therefore be normally unobtainable.

I can see the argument on Stands being overbearing, so here's my be-all-end-all statement on them to simplify things. In the Paradox Engine, Stands are fully visible to all individuals, so that some people won't have to fight against an invisible, untraceable force, but beyond that, function identically to normal. Still means Stands have quite a few advantages on non-Stand users, but it won't make them pretty much impossible to handle unless the character somehow knows prior what will happen with said Enemy Stand User.

....And yes, that's a Jojo's reference.

Multiversal Discord: The Mass-Scale Crossover RP

I wouldn't worry about it; like I've said, every character will suffer some fitting limitations, so take what the sheets say with a grain of salt. Terra will find herself quite a bit more 'Vincible here lol.

From the ones you've said here, I'd only really advocate against Diavolo since King Crimson is both crazy strong and quite aggravating for most people to wrap their heads around. Kira'd be fine, as long as it's him before Bites The Dust, because that really complicates things with him.

Bruno's just cool though, got no beef with STICKY FINGERS!

Regardless, glad to see more folk getting on the hype train here! Once I can settle on which villain I plan to use as my primary choice (beyond ones I'll be running as GM from time to time), the opening post should happen, so look forward to it guys! :D

Multiversal Discord: The Mass-Scale Crossover RP

@mattmanganon Re-imaginings will probably undergo more scrutiny than most, but I won't outright deny them if you wish.

Multiversal Discord: The Mass-Scale Crossover RP

Raw strength ain't everything, and everyone has their own methods. Besides, don't get caught up in the whole 'whose stronger than who' kinda stuff; there's a reason characters are dragged down to equal standings here, y'know? lol
