OOC Notes
Zotack looked at those large impressively beautiful doors that cover the mouth of the grand vaults of Atlantis. His Eyes scanned the doors with intrigue though his facial expression on the rest of his face never shifted as he thought about their current situation. He hand reached up and rubbed his chin then the right cheek as his head tilted. His eyes began blinking wildly and he began seeing images and symbols that were neither Atlai or english, yet he understood there meaning and what it was telling him. Then a sudden and sharp pain pinned his eyes and his arm came in to cover his face. Bending slightly at the mere pain. He grunted and turned his face from the others.
His hand began rubbing his eyes. "I'm sorry...My contacts are messing with my eyes. I must be the salt water." he lied. He rubbed his eyes some more then reached into his armor's compartment and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. Keeping his face from the others his covered his eyes and looked back at the vault. John looked at Zotack with his brow raised in puzzlement.
"Everything alright, Zotack?" he asked. Zotack nodded his head and then looked at the doors some more. "I remember the scientists talking about how the doors can only be opened by the language of your people, Ikiros. That's all I really know since the scrolls weren't very clear in their meaning." he said. Zotack sighed as his head tilted as if he was looking at something other the doors. His very body language suggesting that he was seeing something that he was seeing that the others weren't.

Zotack watched as the years of age that the doors collected over the centuries seemed to crack and peel away from the travelers very sight. The complex technologies and magic that flowed through the doors that seemed to flow through the city and come to life by the very presence of Ikrios and his words. The Doors sliding back away from the path of the group and in no time Zotack would be the first to make a move. While the others stood in amazement and awe as the very Vault and it's secrets were unleashed, Zotack, only smiled and walked ahead.
When they would enter the place would be as Ikiros descried it. A large and beautiful museum and library that seemed to be influenced by the cultures of all the great civilizations that lived in the ancient days. The floors and walls made of all forms of precious metals and marble. The Halls and Aisles of books lined with information from all the empires. And Each aisle would guide visitors to a different area devoted to a certain empire. Zotack looked around almost awestruck. He turned to look at the others though as he did his gripped his head in pain and gave a loud shout.
Zotack nearly fell to his knees in pain but maintained his strength in order to keep on his feet. His breathing was deep and fast and a small green glow seemed to come from behind his sunglasses. "God, the virus...It's acting up. It must be the presence of the Mayan technology." he thought to himself. He shook his head and looked away from the others. "So, is this place empty? Or do you think someone could have lived down here this long?" he asked.

Zotack and John did as Ikrios commanded and followed running behind the guide to the Library that Ikrios had just become. And as they ran down aisles of scrolls and books that lined each side of them they couldn't help but slow down to look. The different ancient texts that seemed well kept and ageless. The scrolls still looked new as if they hadn't aged after all these years as if they were kept fresh either by powers in this vault or perhaps this was just the work of those that trapped themselves inside. Rewriting and recreating every scroll and book to make sure all in this library was kept alive.
The Mayan and Atlantis symbols and items that were placed in different shelves and alters. Technologies as they went further in and the closer they got to the war records the more sinister the magic artifacts and technologies on displayed grew. Weapons and vehicles of all kinds as well as ancient elemental magic ritual symbols. Though for now they kept as close to Ikrios as they could without losing him in such a vast place while being caught up in the slender.

Zotack and John nodded their heads and while John lowered himself in respect Zotack remained standing up straight and watching curiously as the elder laid dying. John would stand next to Ikrios and then placed his hand over the Atlai's shoulder and gave it a caring squeeze. He watched with his head bowed in small pray for the man who seemed to be on the verge of death. Zotack on the other hand leaned against a mayan book shelf and then felt a sudden pain shoot into his head. He kept the pain to himself but his eye began twitching and a loud ring buzzed in his ears. The ring though seemed to be coming from a direction. Zotack clenched his temples in his hands and looked in the direction of the source of his pain. And without delay he made his way towards it without making a sound.
John would lean close to Ikrios to whisper in his ear. "What has happened? Who did this to him?" he asked. John asked hopping Ikrios might have an idea of what was going on and why all this was happening.

John watched the display and looked around to see the area they were in then to look back at the elders and the three Atlaia who laid on the ground before their leaders. John made sure he was well in the realms of being respectful but was never urged to fall to his knees before the men like the others were. He watched as the elders all began glowing in a bright red color and he covered his eyes. "Who did this to him? Who would do something like this and why? To what end would the murder gain anything from the killing of the last of his own people?" he asked.
It was a lot for John to take in at the moment even with himself being immortal and being here before he never truly met and the elders of Atlantis. He would stay back though so not to step out of his bonds thinking that asking so many questions was already pushing it.

John looked concerned for everyone in the room and let out a sigh as he tasseled long brown hair with his hand. He then fixed it back into his pony-tail and then turned around so that something else may catch his attention. What was happening here may never be seen by another human, but this was private and paying attention to such a ritual might as well be disrespectful. Though as he turned around he noticed that Zotack was no longer in the group and had left without anyone noticing. John looked around for a few minutes himself before coming back.
He leaned toward Ikrios and whispered in his ear. "Zotack, he is gone...I can't find him." he said. Only wanting Ikrios to hear this so as to not cause any kind of stir or panic among the others. "I've looked a few places but I'm getting nothing. I fear Zotack may be pursuing his own goals once more." he said. John stood up and then began walking off to see if he could find Zotack. Though he had no real knowledge of this place and didn't know where to start looking.
Zotack on the other hand followed the loud buzzing in his ears his his eyes glowing a brighter green until finally they could be seen straight through the lenses. His head rushing with all kinds of images and symbols that were unearthly, sinister, and terrifying. Until he then noticed in all the floating imagery were Mayan symbols and letters. "The Virus...It's progressing further...but i've already had treatments to prevent this." he said. "Guiding me...showing me where to go...something is here." he said.

John followed Ikrios after being called out and then commanded to stick together. This was Ikrios' home after all and he knew far more about it then John did. And when they got to the armory John nodded his head as he witnessed the armor that Ikrios donned and the weapons that he commanded with his arms and his very thoughts. John began taking off the very suit he wore into Atlantis that was given to him by the Temple Empire. Though underneath the Temple Empire's bulky armor John was wearing his blessed Roman segmentata armor and the spear of destiny's blade in his belt. With the spear handle gone it acted more like a dagger.
"The Spear of Destiny's blade. The very weapon that priced the side of Christ on the cross. This holds the ability to kill any immortal or god of any kind because the blood that was spilled on it. I assume this will be all I need." he said. John smiled and knocked on his Segmentata. "And the Armor was blessed by the god of War, Mars, to be nigh-indestructible. Both of these are long stories. Perhaps I could tell you them later if Zotack doesn't beat us." he said with a chuckle. Trying to make the situation light to ease nerves.
Zotack continued to follow the noise and then he finally saw the source. An Atlantian whose very appearance was changed. His skin ripped open in places where the muscles had expanded as they lit with a faint blue color. The Mayan Virus changing this body in a way that his very body grew Mayan Style armor and feathers. Zotack walked closer to the being you seemed to be sleeping. It's chest pumping up and down slowly. When Zotack finally reached the being he looked at the face. It was if the skin had almost all been torn off and all that remained was the skull, machine like organic tissue and the dim glowing eyes. Zotack slowly lifted his hand and placed it on the being forearm. Suddenly an energy straight through Zotack and he let out a ghastly yell.

John caught the blades and did a few moves to show off his skills with the rapier and main gauche which were impressive. "Well, I know how to use them if thats what your asking, but I was always more of a claymore kind of guy. This will do just fine though I suppose." he said smiling. Until he heard the sound of Zotack's yell in the very air of the entire place. Never in all of John's years has he heard such an awful sound as that. It was unearthly like some kind of new race of being malice was being born. He looked at Ikrios and nodded as well following close behind Ikrios.
Zotack remained standing in the same position he was caught in when he touched the arm of the sleeping being. The creature was still asleep, but as it laid there it spoke to zotack telling him how to free him. Smoke rose from Zotack's gapping mouth. And when it had finally stopped funneling through he lowered his head and removed his hand from the beings arm. Zotack's eyes glowed an even brighter green and his skin near his sockets were split open and cracked. Glowing a dim green color.
"Zotack, It's me Rasputin...I have made it finally and am ready with the key of solomon." a voice said in Zotack's ear piece. "Good, I was beginning to worry that you'd miss all the fun." Zotack chuckled. "Now, If you don't mind keep The Immortal and Ikrios busy. I have a friend to free." he said. And within the blink of an eye Zotack jumped into the air and landed on one of the book shelves. From there he ran and jumped on each to make it back to the elder's group. Rasputin using his book used a spell that teleported him close to John. Where he would appear in the way of the two.
"John, It's been too long. And Ikrios it's good to finally meet you after all this time...I've heard so much about you when they created your daughter." he said. The Man looked like some kind of mad priest. His robes long, black and flowing. And a large white book under his arm.

OOC Notes
Rasputin never moved or flinched, but instead he remained calm and one might even say they could see a smile in his heavy black beard. The book he held under his arm was nestled tight and with no hint of fear in his voice he answered Ikrios. "I am Rasputin, the worlds most powerful sorcerer, and what I possess is the book written by the ancients. Solomon as king had over 500 wives all from different lands and nations, even Atlantis, when Atlantis was powerless and the mayans vanished the Hebrews became the new power after Egypt. What I possess is magic presented to the most wise of kings by his wives from every land. And when one can speak to the dead of this land...and bend them to their will the ghosts of his lost city are very helpful." he said.
After his last word a sudden terrifying energy came from Rasputin's body. Ghostly entities that were once natives of this great city and now bond to the dark priest. They would flow out of the man's body and push Ikrios with a great amount of force. The claws and fists of the dead ones pounding on Ikrios as they attempted to throw him back towards John. And all this while Rasputin never even moved the book. Then after uttering a small prayer he let the book go, though it floated in mid-air and Rasputin raised both his hands in different symbols.
"Ikrios, go find Zotack and i'll take care of my old friend here. I've fought him before So I know all his tricks. I'll be fine." he said. John pointed his blades towards the dark priest. "What say you, Rasputin? Since it's me your really here for." he said. The Dark priest looked at Ikrios and tilted his head as if telling him he may pass.
Zotack on the other hand would find the group and land in the middle of them all. And in a quick and fluid action he drew one of his pistols that were mounted on his armor and aimed the gun straight for the elder and attempted to take the shot.

Zotack looked at Avaraen and gave him a smile as his green glowing eyes shined a little brighter for a second and within seconds Zotack made his move. He was fast before but now he was even faster now that he was fully in stage one of the virus. His thumb flicked a pin on the gun which separated the top and allowed the metal barrel that the Atlaia held in his head to fall slide out while he continued to grip the top slide. The gun was free now but wouldn't fire without the top slide. Though Zotack wasn't done and he continued to move fluidly and faster then a blink. Zotack would ram the metal of what was left of his gun in his clenched fist into Avaraen's throat. While his other hand grabbed the metal slide in the Atlaia's hand and then rebuilding his gun.
After that he would point the gun at Afen's head and shook his head. "What I do is for the betterment of humanity and the safety of the innocent. Afen, look at yourself your not just a Atlaia...your also a human and Patrick is your father. Just because you share Ikrios' DNA doesn't mean he's your father. Your our creation a tool for humanity." he said. He drew his second pistol mounted to his armor and aimed it at Avaraen. And you know I do what I can to protect my people...you should understand that! Let me do is! Let me protect my people!"

"Your right...But, I...the virus...it's...I feel like I have to kill you. I'm fighting it as best as I can, but the urges are growing stronger...The Mayans must have really hated you to make something like this." he said. His finger on the trigger of his gun as he resisted the urge the virus was forcing on his mind to kill those with Atlantis blood. His mind had never been this fogged before and he began to lower his gun until the spear came and his armor deflected it off his person. Though the armor protected him the attack sparked a survival instinct that the virus only strengthened. The guns were no longer on Ikrios' family but now on the Atlaia himself. His eyes flashed green and the cracks on his face stemming from his eye sockets glowed bright green. Zotack began firing his weapons at Ikrios.
"Ikrios!" Zotack yelled.
"Ikrios!" Zotack yelled.
OOC Notes
[color=black]Zotack was banished from Atlantis like that, but his actions weren't his own when he killed the elder and through all this he was still aware. It was like he was being possessed by the virus and he was in his own mind trapped and pleading for treatment so that he may turn back into his original self. Though because of his banishment the virus seemed to only spread further through his body as his mind receded further down into madness. It would take months to reach a higher stage of the Mayan Virus where the effects couldn't be reversed, but he was under the virus' control. All he had now was an objective he had to complete.
Zotack fired his gun at Ikrios, but his enhanced eyes could see the aura of mental energy that he created that nulled any effect they had. The armor that Zotack wore though was the very kind that could absorb mental energy and turn it against the enemy. Zotack placed his guns away and then waited for when Ikrios got close enough. And when he did he sidestepped the sword attack grabbing Ikrios' arm and allowing the suit to absorb that mental barrier and channeled it as energy to increase the strength of the wearer. Zotack threw his punch at Ikrios' jaw attempting to send him flying.
"Do what you can, Ikrios. This Virus though and the knowledge I reaped from the memory from the sleeping Atlaia in the back I have what I came for. All your people's secrets our in my head as well as the Mayans and the most powerful stuff from the others. And the best part is all I have to do is think and It shoots off as information...I never imagined that this is what it's like to become a god, Ikrios." he laughed. "And speaking of gods...I think someone should be waking up." Zotack said. And as he did the Infected Atlaia awoke from his long slumber induced by the elder. And it let out a ghastly yell just like Zotack's. After which Zotack fell to his knees in pain holding his head. "It was that...It's not like my virus...we took out the mayan's proto

protocols...that must have reprogrammed them in me." He said. His face falling to the ground screaming in pain. "I can hear his voice in my head!" He yelled. Zotack continued to fight the programming as much as he could until he passed out. His eyes glowing bright green again and the scars on his face growing. The shell stood up again. And stood there looking at Ikrios.
OOC Notes
Zotack was about to make a move to defend himself as the shell attempted too start an entirely new fight with the Atlaia. Though before any of them could make a move John came in grabbing Zotack and pulling him out of the way of danger. The Shell attempted to struggle with John, but before it could throw a punch John placed his hand on Zotack's forehead and shushed him. The very glow of Zotack's eyes began to recede and even the scars began to heal. John using his spiritual connection to the holy grail, which keeps him immortal, also gave John the ability to heal and raise the dead. Zotack's mouth was left agape as John seemed to heal Zotack's body and draw the virus from his body.
When it was done John let go of Zotack who fell on his hands and knees before John and began puking an almost solid grey mass from his gut. The mass collection of nano-machines that had be reproducing in Zotack's body. When it was said and done John picked him up and Zotack looked around the library. "Oh my, God." he paused. "We made it into the vaults! Ikrios! This place is amazing I bet we can get everything we need to stop the Aschen!" he said laughing.

Zotack was almost as excited as a small child in a candy store as his eyes darted from one thing to the next. Really he felt like this was all a dream because he couldn't recall how he got where he was. It felt like he was just now walking in on the middle of something important. His eyes darted to Ikiros. "An hour? That can't be right we just now got the Aschen running away...and then the we walked towards the doors." he looked at John then at everyone else around him.
"I don't understand? All I remember is touching the vault door then a voice in my head, and now i'm standing right here." he said. Zotack rubbed his head and gave a sigh looking around the vaults then back at Ikiros as he began loosing his balance by just standing in place. Then the floor itself carrying Ikiros around as he willed. Something was happening and as long as he had access to Atlantis there was hope for the Temple Empire. He nodded his head at Ikiros when given his conditions. Though the moment of relief was short lived because the Atlantian Air Mage awoke from his long slumber. The being let out an ear piercing screech that carried throughout the halls of the Vault.
The Being rose up from it's shrouded bed and it's true self was seen. The Mayan Virus was all that remained of the creature which was an organic machine. A husk of it's living self with almost skeletal features lit up by the wires and machine parts which had slowly replaced it's organic self over so many years. The Creature looked in the direction of the group and in a flash it was gone. Running as fast as any gale force winds and closing in fast.

OOC Notes
The Creature screeched once more at Ikiros vibrating the air around it to make the noise it produced louder and ear shuttering. And before it's feet even touched the ground The Creature flew into the air about 50 feet into the air. The Creatures chest swelled as it sucked in air and then blew it out of it's mouth. Shooting out a pinpoint stream of powerful air concentrated into a thin jet. Meant to cut through Ikiros like a powerful laser would against unprotected flesh. This itself sent the creature flying a bit higher into the air until it touched the ceiling of the vault and clung there. Repeating this powerful attack.
John walked towards Afen and took her in his hands and lifted her into his grasp. "Come young one this fight is between ancient powers." he said. He looked towards Zotack and rushed up to him. Grabing the man by the arm and nodding for them to leave. Zotack pulled away and shook his head. "No, I'm going to stay for now. I've worked to hard to get here and i'm not about to loose everything because of some long fight between two dead civilizations!"
John shook his head and made his way out, but not before turning to Zotack and tossing him the blade of his spear artifact. "I want that back." he said. John then left with afen in his hands.

Zotack looked to the side to glance at Avaraen then went back to watching the fight between The Creature and Ikiros and how each moved along. He tilted his head slightly as he calculated everything in his head then nodded his head. This fight might prove to last hours if nothing changed between the two opponents. He popped his neck and looked at Avaraen with a nod and the same serious look the group was use to seeing on Zotack's almost expressionless face. "This fight could last hours and I don't really have that kind of time on my hands." Zotack raised the blade of the spear of destiny that was in his grasp. "But I do hold a key to shortening this little boxing match to a few rounds." he said.
The Creature looked down at Ikiros and as he sent his attacks up at the being it would crawl around on the ceiling like a spider then fell. Turning into a wisp of smokey air that sparkled because of the nano-machines that remained with it beside being in that air form. The attacks passing through The Creature and then with the last panel it became solid once more during it's free fall. The Creature aimed it's arm out at Ikiros and attempted it's own telekinetic power by blasting a large crushing force down upon Ikiros' head then attempting to fall on him with it's feet aimed to stomp Ikiros into a pulp.

OOC Notes
The Creature stood up straight and looked towards Ikiros with it's mouth agape and what sounded like a guttural electrical screech passed through it's jaws. The Creature was unable to smile back or even feel the kind of emotions that maybe Ikiros was feeling at the moment towards it. It had one goal and that was to destroy Atlantis and it's natives. The Creature shook it's head as Ikiros spoke in his native tongue. With a smooth motion the creature lifted it's arms and the floor lifted up in a hill. Then it shot both it's arms to the side with it's palms facing backwards. The Creature bent forward and air around the Creature's hands blasted out as if it were acting as jet engines. One leg slid back shaping the floor too it's whim and curving the hill to look like a lunch pad. Slowly it started but then like a bullet the Creature was gone.
Rushing towards Ikiros with jet like powered gusts of wind shooting from it's palms and on a dime it stopped in front of the new elder. The jet like force around it's hands quickly becoming precise and concentrated as thin blades created by air and the Creature moved it's hands swiping at Ikrios.
Zotack looked down at the spear blade he held in his hand and he watched as Avaraen backed off when he looked at it and felt it's energy. Zotack held a true source of power in his hands and he looked back at the fight at hand. He had to time this just right or risk being smashed by this being bending the air and floor to it's will. By the looks of things Ikiros wasn't going to make the move to actually kill this thing. Maybe out of some strange since of pity or hope that it's virus could be cured like it was cured in Zotack. Whatever the cause, Zotack, wasn't going to watch this fight continue as the information in the vaults was being laid to waste by the moves this Creature made.

OOC Notes
The Creature was trapped within Ikiros's grasp and it struggled against the elder and against the mental barbs pricing into it's flesh. The struggle only ripping the Creatures flesh and metal and causing a strange fluid to spill out from it's body and one would only imagine that this was once blood. The Creature though wouldn't let it's captor go unpunished and created it's own telekinetic barbs to impale Ikrios as well. The Creature fighting against the sinking into the floor. Trying all it could do to escape this fate and destroy it's target that it was pressed against. Stabbing and tearing into Ikrios's back with it's own claws.
Zotack's eyes grew wide at both the chance that was left open to just walk over and stab the creature in the back, but what really frightened Zotack was the words that Ikrios spoke. He was going to destroy atlantis. He was going to ruin all of Zotack's hard work. Everything he had planned and all the time spent all these years after first encountering Ikrios would all go to waste. Everything he did. The men he let die so that he could enter the city. The experiments and the artifacts weren't enough he had to have all this.
Zotack began walking towards the two powerful beings what were trapped in each others grasp and slowly sinking into the floor. His hand grasping tight to the handle of the blade. His face filled with emotions of rage and regret as he took those final steps towards the two. He raised his arm over his face as he could feel the pressure the two emitted from their bodies. The words that Avaraen spoke meant nothing to Zotack and it was almost as if he couldn't hear the being. "Ikrios, I can't let you destroy everything I've worked for! The power that my people are so close to gaining!" He then trusted that blade and impaled the Creature from behind. The Being screeched as black veins blistered through it's skin and the life faded away. But Zotack didn't stop there he kept plunging that blade deeper.

OOC Notes
To pass trough the dying creature and into Ikrios.
OOC Notes
Zotack would make sure he had a good grip on Ikrios and lowered him gently to the ground as he began blessing the man. Zotack didn't understand and the confusion as well as the anguish of killing a friend was filling his eyes. He never once cried unless it was over someone he had grown close to and who he considered a friend, and at this moment Zotack knew he did the unthinkable and killed a friend. Though it was for a greater good. It was for the good of his organization and the people of this world who were being oppressed. It was for the best. Wasn't it? Zotack held both Ikrios in one arm and the blade in the other and pulled it out of the dying elder. "I'm sorry Ikrios...I just I couldn't let all this just pass away. It's the best hope we have right now." he said.
Zotack gently let go of Ikrios and stood back up holding the blade of the spear in his hands and then left it at his side. The artifact was John's and it had to be given back to him because know Zotack couldn't trust himself with the kind of power. Though now he was in control of Atlantis and blessed to have it move according to his will. He turned and looked back at ikrios's brother and gave him that same emotionless stare he usually gave him, but it was different this time. This time Zotack's eyes were watery and he simply wiped them on his sleeve and nodded his head.

OOC Notes
Zotack turned to Avaraen and for a moment he held the blade in his hand thinking about this. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea, but he also had atlantis under his control now. After a moment he nodded and handed the blade to the man and took a few steps back.
OOC Notes
Zotack looked at the man and nodded his head. "If I must. Then Yes."

Abandoned Multiverse Characters Restored
Hey guys,
Just letting everyone know that I've gone through and found as many abandoned characters as I could and placed them back into their original creator's list of characters. There were several thousand characters who I could not determine the owner for, and as such I've placed those in the orphanage.
You're free to abandon them again if you wish!
Sincerely,
Your Friendly Multiversal GM

Re: The Multiverse: The Official OOC (uber)Thread
Hello folks!
There's been a lot of talk lately (mostly unpleasant and misunderstanding) about the invasion and occupation of Terra plot that Barney and I have been working on for over a month and which was recently unveiled publicly (apparently?) in the Multiverse. The idea behind most roleplay usually termed "nation roleplay" or "NRP" is not to overtake or dominate a large-scale roleplay, but to enrich and provide sociological, economic, and political background to such a setting. "Nation roleplay," or roleplaying that involves nation states, de facto state entities, or state-like factions, is intended to be a breeding ground for character development, provide a backdrop for character interactions, and create multiple avenues for diverse and engaging plotlines to develop at both micro and macro levels.
In my own writing, I focus predominantly on the development of individual characters and the dynamics of interactions among those characters. I find overarching, meta-plotlines like this invasion plotline to be an excellent impetus for engendering and fostering more vibrant and compelling character interactions and new plot ideas by creating multiple sources of tension. Characters need not have any high rank or formal affiliation with a faction in order to be impacted by larger events (think of what happens to average citizens when any country goes to war), nor will they necessarily be directly affected in any significant way (think about the everyday lives of most Americans during the Iraq war.) But you, the writers and roleplayers, will have a myriad of opportunities to create, develop, and form deeper and more interesting plots to feature your character(s), given a new set of macro-circumstances.
Both Barney and I welcome and encourage anyone who is interested in active involvement in the invasion plot at any level (very active to vaguely active) in any way whatsoever to talk to either or both of us about your ideas, character(s), and plans. A large number of people have already done so, including the following people:
- krumbla -- I can't remember his idea (I'm sorry, krumbla; talk to me when I'm not sick as a dog?)
- Mr. Crow -- News media company to be formed before the invasion and to provide support to the resistance or rebels following the occupation
- curtsive -- Vigilante anti-terrorist organization to conduct terrorist operations against the occupation
- Alasund De'astio -- plays the Democratic Coalition, allies of the current (canonical to Ylanne) Terran government
- Nemo -- typically handles the military side of the Terran government, as well as Randin Kaye from the Wing City Police Department
- DemiKara -- whose character Aerilyn recently joined the Terran Intelligence Bureau
- Konstantein -- plays a daywalking vampire who will act against the occupation
- AzricanRepublic -- plays the UCON, which has a military presence near Terra and supports the TNG
- Marcus -- plays the Council, which has a vested interest in defending Terran sovereignty
- Tearen Wover -- plays VARIAtech corporation, which is offering military assets to the Terrans
And I'm certain I've forgotten someone (in which case, if that's you, I do sincerely apologize. It's one a.m. and I'm still sick.)
Barney and I have sketched out an overview of how we expect the plot to run from beginning to middle to end; however, despite the fact that both of us obviously plan on the plot following that sequence, it can change its course at any point depending on the ideas and in-character actions of any other folks who decide to get involved.
Some of the plots to occur during the invasion and occupation, both planned and still in discussion, already discussed include the following:
- Arianne Drulovic subjected to an order of indefinite detention
- Democratic Coalition rescuing Drulovic from Aschen custody
- Terran resistance kidnapping self-proclaimed God-Emperor Raphael McGregor
- Drulovic psychologically "breaking" McGregor with his estranged wife Cally
- Hataf attack against Aschen Empire holdings
- Guerrilla warfare between Democratic Coalition, UCON, and Terran forces against Aschen forces
- Taiyou attack on Aschen-controlled Terra
- Terran Independent underground dissident publication
- Jelisaveta Drulovic and family taking Natalija Drulovic's children off-world
- Rubano Malijin assuming power as regional Governor of Terra
- Public executions of political dissidents
- Internal rebellion against Aschen government by dissident Aschen leaders
I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to seek me out to talk plot, character, and ideas. Both existing and newly created characters can be involved with any plot, either existing or newly proposed by you. If you feel that this planned plotline (invasion and occupation) will unnecessarily or unfairly interrupt or alter your own plans for character or plot development, and you passionately want to retain your own plans as much as possible, please talk to me. I am very obsessive and have high levels of anxiety about maintaining the integrity and substance of my plans, so I know how you feel, and am more than happy to collaborate with you to work out something that satisfies you and makes logical sense.
If I'm not in the chat at any given time, I can be reached via private message, or by email at trealistorm (at) yahoo.com. Messages to that email address are delivered directly to my smartphone, which I check obsessively all day long, and will be read and replied to as soon as possible. (Usually within twelve hours, and sometimes within as little as ten minutes.) I want to hear your ideas and opinions (but please be polite to me; I do have feelings and am a real person over here), and I want to make sure that you don't feel like I am trampling over you or your character(s) or your plot(s).

[OOC] Taylor's Bar (Multiverse Location)
This is the official OOC thread for Taylor's Bar. I'll post staff, recent events, and other information about Taylor's here.
Taylor's Bar is a location owned by my character, Gabriel Taylor. The Bar/Hotel/Casino is extremely fortified and secured. Each entrance has a metal detector and the place is usually fully staffed with employes. Taylor handles all of his business in house and law enforcement is nearly never called. Various precautions have been set around the bar to account for the magical inhabitants of Terra and keep it's inhabitants safe.
News Announcements
Taylor’s Casino and Hotel Grand Opening!
Gabriel Taylor, multimillionaire and owner of Taylor’s Bar, a successful nightclub and hang out for the rich and wealthy, has moved onto his next venture; A casino and hotel. Patrons of Taylor’s bar may have noticed construction going on around back as well as various signs and posters apologizing for the inconvenience; The large tower coming up behind the bar would be rather noticeable to say the least. Last month we got a word with Gabriel Taylor’s manager and he’s said that he has big plans for this place.
“Terra’s never had a place quite like this; Gabriel’s casino will be the first. The casino is the largest in the world and it’s also the most secure. Not only won’t we be hit, but we can’t be hit. We’ve brought in security experts from around the world to devise the most advanced security system Terra has seen. We invite anyone who believes they have what it takes to try and rob us, but I won’t be responsible for your injuries or the blow to your self-esteem. Try to teleport through our walls? Have fun getting stuck inside of them. We’ve worked with various experts in the field of magic and technology to create a sort of ‘teleportation displacer’ as well as armed our guards with anti-magic grenades. Although obviously not 100 percent effective, it gets the job done.
The hotel is large and extravagant. It has everything you’d ever need, ranging from a five star restaurant to indoor pools, and a top of the line spa. Our 2nd floor hosts a large assortment of stores holding anything you can think of including the finest clothing and the newest technology. “
The casino and hotel’s grand opening is April 9th at 7 pm. The party at Taylor’s bar goes from 7 pm to 2 am, but good luck getting in. The guest list is packed and with the security at Taylor’s it’s going to be difficult sneaking in.

Have fun getting stuck inside of them. We’ve worked with various experts in the field of magic and technology to create a sort of ‘teleportation displacer’ as well as armed our guards with anti-magic grenades. Although obviously not 100 percent effective, it gets the job done.
The hotel is large and extravagant. It has everything you’d ever need, ranging from a five star restaurant to indoor pools, and a top of the line spa. Our 2nd floor hosts a large assortment of stores holding anything you can think of including the finest clothing and the newest technology. “
The casino and hotel’s grand opening is April 9th at 7 pm. The party at Taylor’s bar goes from 7 pm to 2 am, but good luck getting in. The guest list is packed and with the security at Taylor’s it’s going to be difficult sneaking in.

Re: [OOC] The Gaia Stones [IC Fantasy Event]
We have a an Official Group now. Whoohoo. I will edit some more details later on in the day due to my exhaustion.
[OOC] The Gaia Stones [IC Fantasy Event]
The Gaia Stones is a plot that I am currently GMing within The Multiverse on a planet deep within the Milky Way system where technology is not allowed and will not be able to function. The world is ruled completely by magic and magic law. The story consists of people being summoned to the planet Gaia (if they did not spawn on the planet themselves) and were brought to The Ruby Flask. They were given a task to follow a powerful mage named Ry'nn Traeger to collect stones which would unseal powerful weapons that had once been used to forge the kingdom. The purpose behind the quest beyond that remains to yet be seen.

THE WEAPONS
Skuldgrim the Slayer of Undead
Skuld was the first sword forged on the world of Gaia in the Xanaldra Forge. It is a legendary blade that has not been seen for a hundred generations. It once served Gaia when the undead were a threat to all living beings on the Mother’s soil and vanquished The Risen Horde during the age of Those Who No Longer Roam sent by Eras.
The blade of the sword is long and elegant with a pointed edge that is perfect for piercing into armor. Down its length is the engraving of Sagittae—a beautiful woman—in finely etched lines on one side and the other is the engraved representation of Atargatis—a strong and lithe man. The edges are blunt and glow with a strange red flame from enchantment. The blade and hilt are made from a very light weight and mysterious metal.
The pommel of the sword is marked with an engraving which represents the goddess Sagittae; one of the stars of Gaia and the Mother’s protector from the evil god Eras. The sheath is blood red. It is unbreakable and will never shatter.
It is a sword meant to battle the undead which roam mindlessly on Gaia; skeletons, reanimated corpses, and shades. But with all swords of power, there is a weakness. It cannot kill any living soul and may only be used on the undead.
Artrea the Healing Gauntlets
Artrea were gauntlets worn by a legendary man named Lysander Enlight. The gauntlets were hidden beneath the soil of The Exalted Mountains and were used to light the world when Eras had almost consumed his siblings. For seven turnings of Gaia had Artrea served to the be sole beacon on hope for all living things on the world.
The gauntlets are made from a mysterious metal which is completely white in color, almost as if they were made of our pearl. But they are as harder than any metal known to the current world as the knowledge died with Those Who No Longer Roam. They will light the path when light is needed most.
Glittering feathers protrude backwards and out from the wrist. The fingers are sharpened like ten deadly claws that can grip any surface short of diamonds. It is easy to scale a wall with the gauntlets. But that is not what make the weapons deadly. So sharp in fact are they, that they can pierce through most armor and can slice through human flesh like a razor through parchment. But their greatest power is the ability to touch others and heal their mortal wounds through the use of Will.
There is always a weakness that comes with weapons of great power. Those who adorn the gauntlets and use its abilities will soon find their eyesight failing on them over a long period of time. All those that have ever used them—even once—have gone blind with age. And when they are used to heal, the adorner will find themselves very drained as if their own life-force had been passed into the other in order to save their life.
Questions, suggestions, and comments should be directed here, especially when chat is busy or when I am not online or active in the chat.

Actually if you want it as a news report, at least offically so, there is a News Thread for the Multiverse as a whole
Re: The Multiverse: The Official OOC (uber)Thread
Sangrei's only statement was this. "Hey, I was hungover, and I got an iced tea with honey. How was I supposed to know that the bear thing was gonna come over and wreck the bar looking for goddamn honey?"
Re: The Multiverse: The Official OOC (uber)Thread
Gambit's Bar was drained of all its honey by a mysterious yellow bear!
Unfortunately, Wing City police did not know this and were left in confusion to find only a yellow teddy bear with a red shirt at the scene of the crime.
The only customer under record who had ordered a glass of honey that day was a Sangrei Friedn. Responsibility for the bill and possibly the stolen stock of honey have yet to be decided. Police still find Friedn a suspect.

HAHAHAHAHA. The conclusion isn't coming til closer to the summer. Frequency of activity and times when the folks who are involved currently has dropped quite a bit for a variety of reasons, and I don't anticipate the conclusion to Family Pictures for a bit. That said, for those who pay attention to the faction-side of things, the announcement that elections have taken place for the Terran National Government will be posted soonish (i.e. within the next two weeks insh'Allah.)
Those who might be expecting me for roleplay, I will have no internet access this Thursday through Sunday this week except from my phone or if I can access someone else's computer with internet access. You will only be able to reliably reach me via email, which goes to my phone. If you don't have mine, any staff member does, as would anyone who regularly roleplays with me. Thanks!
Re: The Multiverse: The Official OOC (uber)Thread
There's no real procedure to get "started" in the Multiverse. The hub of activity is generally Gambit's Bar, but you can grab a roleplay partner and head anywhere. The sky's the limit!
Re: The Multiverse: The Official OOC (uber)Thread
I'm new here, and I just made my first character. How do I get started in the multiverse? I'd like to stick mostly to Terra to keep as close to my character's home as possible, but if I have to move, I will.
If you want to check out my character, go to roleplay/the-multiverse/characters/lorenzo-caracciolo
By the way, that is not near my real name, so don't worry.

You can create and play anything that you like in the Multiverse. There is no acceptance or review of characters, just create the character and start RPing!

Re: The Multiverse: Where Do We Go?
Um. Okay. Bear with me. I read through what posts I saw, and took note on things that were said to the best of my ability. Here's where I stand on the Multiverse, where the Multiverse is to me, and yeah. I guess.
I agree that there needs to be a set baseline. For instance, the name of the bar. The name of the world that the bar is on. The name of cities, nearby things like that. There can be a set system of government, the Wing City Police Department, but their "jurisdiction" only stretches so far. Some of the most interesting roleplay I've seen/participated in has involved characters coming from other worlds and having to either deal with, work around, or confront the system of government set in the Multiverse.
Alternately, some of the worst and most frustrating MV roleplaying I've seen has been .. involving characters coming from other worlds and having to deal with, work around, or confront the system of government set in the Multiverse.
I've always seen the MV as a hallways connecting various rooms. The rooms are your own story, your own ideas, your own canon, your own characters; it's where your friends gather and you control things. When you're out in that hall, however, all bets are off. That isn't to say you can pull things out of your ass, but you accept and understand a certain amount of handicap.
For instance, my character Liesha Kennicot is a Special Agent in the United States government, from her Earth. She's aware that there are other Earths, and that she doesn't had any control when in the MV. That's fine. However, when someone else walks up to her and starts trying to give her orders claiming that their faction has taken over mine without a single bit of IC content, that's when things start to go awry.
Reading back over the original post, it seems that the Multiverse has as much substance as you give it. It's a sandbox location where you can freely interact with new characters that you might not get a chance to. For a while, I used the MV as a way to try and test out ideas with people before making a roleplay out of it. You get your circles of friends (as Patch mentioned, his crew of eight) and you go at it. Sometimes you meet in the middle, and sometimes you don't.
And at the risk of ranting, that is all I have to say about that.
