So you were saying something about somebody being here earlier... who's that? and why such a pale face when thinking outloud? *Hicks and wipes mouth after a drink seemingly completely uninterested with the oddity of the situation -- must be the hemp... or whisky... or both...*
Th... Time? - Hey ominous voice there! Time killed my universe! So stop being so giddy about it! @The Monitor 2
"... I... Wouldn't worry about it right now, go get... Undrunk or something..."
*Time is rewinded... and instead of the planet being fixed, it only seems to increase in size, noticeable enough that you all feel the tremors and even the horrors around you*
Aaaaaah... the power of time has been unleashed here...*A sudden sourceless voice is heard everywhere, though it could very well be the amalgamate itself speaking @Nate1008*
Alright, alright, let's explain how Echo somehow made it here.
After an encounter with Lymbo, which he ended up losing, Lymbo sent him back to Earth. But in this timeline, Echo got sent into a interdimensional rift, sending him to where he is now. It should be worth noting that Lymbo is technically but also not his father, it's honestly just confusing...
Alright, I'm putting certain things in separate hiders. This might explain the entire universe I've just had in my head.
The power system in this universe starts with good old standard Ki and is separated into three Components: Radiance, Void, and Null. You technically have the free will to choose between these three if you have high enough Ki, the only exception being if you are born with one of these three Components in your DNA, which can come from either side of your parents.
Here's a list of the only recorded people to have Genetic Components:
Cyrus Makris/Radiance Kyra "Kyo-Kyo" Volo/Null Illia Makris/Null and Radiance Diego Volo/Null Diavolo/Null RAVEN/Void Ocho/Void Aiko/Radiance Echo/Null
There are most likely more, but this is all that has been found.
The next thing is Manifests. Manifests are one or two special and unique attributes one can get when a certain Ki level is met and when they have a Component. Manifests come in many forms, Spirits, Weapons, Powers, Creatures, Objects, etc. The one tricky thing is that you cannot choose your own Manifest, it must choose you when you are ready.
Those who have high enough Ki levels to have a Component have to meet another criteria to obtain each one, Radiance=An objectively good soul, Void=An objectively bad soul, and Null is where Component Objects come into play.
Component Objects are rare artifacts that can forcefully change the users Component, Radiant and Void Objects are equally rare, while Null is the rarest. The user must fuse themselves with the object when they're ready. Users with Genetic Components can gain a secondary Component using this method.
The history of Components dates back to Ancient Greece, where a meteor struck the earth, sending shockwaves throughout every being. Only three people had Components fused with their DNA, every other being had a great increase in Ki.
The Null Government was founded by Diavolo and quickly overpowered every other government, leaving them the ones in charge of virtually everything. They had not s very good intentions, however.
This is where Synth comes in. A few years down the line, Synth was founded by Diavolo's daughter, Kyra Volo (Or, Kyo-Kyo as she likes to go by). It was made to suppress The Null Governments plans and intercept their many bases.
The Null Government conducted experiments a few years after being founded. These experiments tested whether a beings DNA could be changed to incorporate Genetic Components. Some of the tests were mostly successful, but left the surviving "patients" with genetic malfunctions that couldn't be fixed.
The only ones to survive were as follows: RAVEN, Ocho, Aiko and Echo. There were more that survived, but never escaped.
That should explain a few things, if any questions are needed, feel free to ask.
Also, it should be pointed out that the Cyrus in this current RP is not the same as the one mentioned up above, although they are pretty similar.
