Warning! Violence, War, Magic, & the Supernatural ahead.The fictional worlds of the Megaverse setting is violent, deadly, filled with aliens, war-ridden, and filled with monsters of supernatural origins. Astral-dimensional beings, often referred to as “dæmons”, torment and prey on humans. Alien life forms, monsters, vampires, ghosts, ancient (demi-)gods, magic, insanity, psychic powers, and intense combat are elements in this roleplay. If this is not your cup of tea, best to turn away now.
So what is the Megaverse exactly?Well the infinite Megaverse is filled with magical energy and tears in the fabric of reality. It is a place where fractures in space and time tear through reality and open doors to supernatural realms, strange dimensions, and alien worlds. From these portals emerge mythical gods, elemental creatures, hordes of demons, monsters, dragons, creatures of magic, shadow beasts, Great Intelligences, the vast undead, pure darkness from elder dimensions, and aliens from countless places across the Megaverse.
Earth has become an alien landscape where the people, cultures, technologies, and the colliding madness of countless alien worlds (and realities) merge with our own. It is a world that has just become part of the bigger Megaverse, but will be off limits for the purposes of this roleplay.
This setting is one of contradiction and intense juxtaposition. It is an environment that is simultaneously familiar and alien, wondrous and horrifying, good and evil. It is an adventurous setting where the magical, supernatural, and alien come looking to annihilate you. An environment where technology and science co-exist with magic and psionics. Robot warriors and power armored troops battle dragons, demons, and magic users galore. People of science share this Megaverse with magic-wielding shamans, gods of myth-n-legend, elemental beings, and the forces of light and dark.
The Megaverse is one of constant change, conflict, horror, wonderment, magic, and endless possibilities limited only by your imagination. Everything is possible here. If you can think it, I can gamify it.
Where dose magic come from?In this setting, magic stems from events called Cataclysms. These are effectively WW3+ style events that results in at least the death of billions of people during a single moment. This distribution of so much energy, returning it to the Megaverse, materializes it and often results in it flowing into or creating laylines (see below). Any spellcaster within' a layline could effectively cast magic without limit. When two laylines cross they crate something called a Nexus Point (see further below), these are larger Rifts in space and time which can remain open for centuries. In this setting, Earth suffered such an event after it's Golden Age. At least half the human population died from the initial fighting and 30% more died once the Cataclysm got going. Another half died in the 200 year dark age brought on by the Cataclysm. As such, although these events bring magic to the Megaverse, their cost in lives is simply not worth creating laylines.
What type of beings can exit an Rift or Nexus Point?Anything!
You may end up encountering a 5th-dimensional being that came from a micro pocket-dimension from another universe.
Here are a list of terms to help you navigate the Megaverse:
D-bee, short for "Extra Dimensional Being", which is pretty much a catch-all term from anything that exits a Rift or Nexus Point.
Xeno, a term popularized by humans, is a way of identifying species of being that is not like your own race but still native to the Megaverse. Pretty much a catch-all for space fairing civilizations.
Elemental, a term used to identify beings conseaved within' one of the many Astral realms.
Deevil, often just pronounce "Devil", is an extra dimensional being from an astral realm known as 9 Hells. Their appearance tends to be devilish in nature. Although highly evil they are also lawful and ordered. Devils are bound by their word.
Dæmon, often just pronounced "demon", is actually a elemental entity of pure chaotic evil. Unlike Deevils which will often only have elemental powers of either ice or fire, their is no limit on what elemental powers a individual Demon can have. Demons cannot be trusted, any alliance made with one will be short lived.
Great Intelligence, this term is used to describe alien creature of epic size or intellect.
