No need for a sheet unless you want to.

Thanks for the post means I can continue the story without editting.

"No response." Sienna looked at him.

"Figures. I need a vantage point." Enigma-2 replied.

"Climb a tree?" His ghost suggested.

Enigma-2 shook his head. "Remember that hill where we killed that fallen captian not to long ago? That'll be good enough."

He started off at a jog headed due north. There weren't any enemies, which concerned him. He kept his hand cannon handy and kept running. 

He reached the hill and shot a flare. He turned to his ghost.

"That might have not been the wisest idea."

"You think?" Was the reply.

He check his ammunition in his cannon and his rifle. He could hear the sounds of the fallen approaching.

"Make a final call."

"If anyone can hear this we are a lone hunter guardian. Please respond. Over?"

There was a flash of light. Enigma-2 was alive again. He took an gasp of breath, that was unnecessary due to his machine frame. Enigma was a Exo, a machine with a sentient human mind, thus he didn't need to eat, drink, or breath. Enigma-2 rubbed the back of his neck and looked his ghost, Sienna, from which the light had originated.  

"Dying sucks." those were his first words.

"You could avoid it by not being shot." the reddish brown shell replied looking at his with her singular eye.

"Insulting but true." Enigma-2 said. "What of Arac and Mya?"

Arac and Mya were apart of his fireteam. Arac was a titan and Mya a warlock respectively. 

"I am picking up no traces of nearby life signs." Replied his ghost.

Enigma-2 slung his pulse rifle over his shoulder and drew a hand cannon.

"I can't contact the Vangard or anyone for that matter down here. Lets get out of this cave" His ghost suggested.

Enigma-2 began to make his way over to the exit but three bodies caught his eye. Two of which were Mya and Arac, their ghosts lay broken next to them. It was their final death. The third was husk of the servitor that was supplying ether to the fallen in the area.

"Rest in piece friends." Enigma-2 said in a hushed voice.

He ran up the sloping corridor and out into the forest air.

Sienna his ghost hovered, then called out over the vanguard channel. "Hello? Is there anyone in the vicinity that can respond?"

“Why do you want to join them?”

@Lord Meeker

"Isnt that obvious? Those criminal scum deserve justice."

The oath has been sworn. Back out now @Clever Username and complications will... arise.

"The crimes I so called committed was an application of sorts to an organization called the Bureau of Villainy. A groups with several goal pertaining to domination of the Alleycity and the extinction of Investiture as we know it."

@Snipexe

"Information? Who said there would be information." He clocked his head as if listening to someone whisper in his ear.

"Oh yeah that's right. I did. I am just a bit in shock. Idos Sebastian is dead. I dont know who did it. But they are exceptional with a sniper rifle."

@Snipexe

Myriad walked down the street nearing the World spike. He was a little beat out from the fight at Oasis city, were Sebastian had died.

He saw ace sitting in a relatively safe spot. He walked over.

"I'm surprised you showed up."

@Snipexe

"Now that is passed. Let's discuss conditions, and all that nitty gritty stuff." Sebastian said.

Sorry gents and ladies. I am here. Things came up. A 6 pg fantasy draft all single spaced. Still not done. Just taking a break.

Two shots rang out. Both hit Sebastian in the head and heart respectively. The man fell to the ground dead. The blood pooling around him.

Myriad watched this happen. In that moment he disengaged. Broke through the nearest window and disappeared.

I'll fix inconsistencies soon.

The butler handed her a glass of water. Then removed himself to the far side of the room for further instructions.

"As long as you dont just in my way" Sebastian muttered.

Seb looked to the bulter. "She isnt stoned or drank herself under then table did she?"

The bulter daid nothing but guesture to Lena. So Sebastian waited for what she would do next.

If you say nat and are a rep vote so!

The meeker punctured the note in its singular tooth and dashed off but soon Returned with a new note.

Boss man said we, the DA and I, could collaborate in Meeker related projects.

Both of you can vote up top

@Nohadon @Grey Knight

I'd like to propose a join Hemalurgy experiment of Meekers. Care to join, DA?

Signed,

Meeks

The message was delivered, of course, by a meeker. 

"Shall we go? It will be easier with state of the ark equipment."

"I say we put it to a vote! All for leagalizing Hemalurgy say aye." Sebastian said.

Myriad steadied his breathing. Listening to the sounds of the fight. He sheathed his bladed and pulled both cannons from his waist. He knew exactly how many shots he had until reload. 

"Remember aim can be thrown off by breathing!" His combat expert called.

He breathed in and sighted on Althea. He fired but not on her head rather her hands and fired. Hoping to cause her shardblade to mist giving him and opening.

Tbh. One can come close to making a guardian with the Index. But talking over with @Snipexe I figured it be best to put it up to the community. War hammer was approved sonic figured I give it a shot.

While I do appreciate the help @beantheboy12. @Voidus has a system for epics. Help with scoring the powers and skills is acceptable but please dont score the weakness as that could be different depending on the Mod. The index for the most part is solid. Weakness is score based on mod assigned. 

@Voidus this is my personal opinion but this still seems a but too powerful. Time is fickle and likes it's own.

If we can add in Sci-Fi with the alternate universes, then I am totally in.

Although I really want to know how inter-universal travel would work.

No. Read this specific post.

No interdimensional anything required.

I'd prefer to not add anymore sci-fi elements. We already voted, if we should implement more settings apart from Brandon's books, and decided against it. We can vote on that again, but maybe we should first finish the discussion about the universum first and then start the next topic.

So the only thing I'd consider sci-fi is the exos (human conscience put into a robot) and the Ghosts (created by the Traveler with its dying breath. They are for the most part and unexplained phenomenon.). The light is simply the magic and weapons are pretty modern day. @Snipexe and I weren't going to bring over the spaceship that the guardians have.

Something we could consider is adding Denizen regulation to inter dimensional or interplanetary travel. A barrier could be created that spans the PR, CR, and SR. A gateway would be manned by a powerful DA representative whose sole focus was inter dimensional/slash planetary travel. While not interfering with those seeking to travel, they would regulate the amount of travel and the time required to reach the destination as parameters for their experiments. They would require the proper forms to be filled out before travel was allowed as well, since the DA prides itself in its integrated science bureaucracy.

This would allow a player or even a mod to rp the gatekeeper and provide the in universe reason for the limitations of just popping back and forth. Anyone who wants to hop to another world or universe would have to rp an encounter with the gatekeeper, allowing for easier regulation by either the community as a whole or just the mods if they want to rp that. Since the DA is the most powerful group in the multiverse, they can enforce gate security.

This can be modified and workshopped of course, but it could be an in world explanation for splitting off different threads as needed.

While I am for the idea. I'd rather not have the DA in control of that...

To me the main issue with the multiple universes idea is that it causes trouble with the guild focus the RP currently has. While having a number of different, separate RPs/plot lines  going on could work (looking at the Reckoners rp), guilds kind of throw a wrench into the whole thing. The problem is that we've been encouraging guild based plots a lot, with new people encouraged to join existing guilds, and having all kinds of smaller guilds around as well, with most people creating multiple characters to support each of their guilds, and generally participating in any events held by these guilds. If we split up the universes it will cause issues with the guilds interacting, and might cause most people to concentrate their characters on the universe their guild is the most active at. To solve this I propose the following solution.

Going by the idea that completely abandoning the concept of guilds is probably a no go, and that guilds only being a thing in a single universe would cause most people to concentrate there, I suggest that the minor guilds would be spread out among the universes, the universe depending on where they fit the best, with the tech guilds going into one of the mega-corp sci-fi universes for example. This also allows for multiple similar guilds to form, since they'll have to fit a theme, or because said universe doesn't have that one yet. The great guilds would have departments in each universe, though probably with a decreased level of influence, to increase the focus on the smaller guilds. On the other hand they'll have knowledge of the other universes (though most characters probably won't), and have a limited ability to travel between them, and a limited level of coordination, though each local instance will differ from the others, fitting the local theme (taking the DA, in a medieval world they'd be a bunch a alchemists, and a sci-fi world would have them be mad geneticists). This would allow for a guild based RP, but with each guild fitting their setting, and people not creating all their characters in one world because it's where their guild is active.

As for the current universe, we kind of have an issue, especially with the start of the new era just coming under way, and everybody's current characters being there. My suggestion for this would be to cut down on all ongoing plots until we only have a small number remaining, and focus only on politics in there (especially with how the politics thing is currently going that would cause a lot of people to move on different universes). We should also lock down a vision for the current universe and then double down on it. If we continue to add new things it'll turn into a main universe, which would cause everyone to stay there.

As for the new universes, I'd suggest that together with giving them unique settings we might want to add an unique magic system or quirk to existing systems to them, to make them more appealing, and to make them fit better with their themes. This might also include modifications to existing systems, to make them fit better, or perhaps even cutting systems (guess this means an unique Index for each universe, depending on their rules).

On a finishing note, I'm currently designing the setting for a magical girl style universe, if anyone is interested in joining. I might post it later, if anyone is interested, it might help nail down the idea of what these universes would look like.

I like the solution but like I said above. We figured out a way to bring them to this current universe.

@Snipexe and I wanted to bring in destiny since war hammer 40k was approved. Here is the summary.

Destiny is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy game taking place in a post-apocalyptic Solar System. The basic premise is as follows. In the near future, a large unknown object was spotted entering the solar system, and went to Mars. Humanity launched a mission and made contact. The object was discovered to be a large sentient sphere, called The Traveler and Humanity made an alliance with it. This began the Golden Age for humanity, where many advances were made in technology. The Golden Age was incredible, and soon humanity had colonized most if not all of the planets of the Solar System. However behind the Traveler, many foes came, called the darkness. These enemies were alien foes, who were attracted to the traveler’s light, and wanted to take it for their own. They launched an attack on the Traveler, causing it to go dormant, and damaging it permenantly. The Travelers last act was to release Ghosts, small baseball sized robots that can hover. These ghosts have the ability to reanimate the dead, creating Guardians. These Guardians are warriors, helping to protect humanity and to combat humanity’s foes, whatever they may be. In order to aid in this these Guardians were given special powers, called the Light, to help combat the Darkness.

How, you might be asking, do these so called Guardians get into the Alleyverse. We know that there is at least 1 dimensionalist epic in the Reckoners, so it isn’t impossible for there to be more. A fireteam of Guardians was ripped from their dimension, and into the reckoner’s by one of these dimensionalists. They brought with them a shard of the Traveler, enabling them to fuel both their light and their Ghosts. The same dimensionalist then sent the Guardians to the Alleyverse, instead of returning them to their own dimension. These Guardians now view investiture as the Darkness’s manifestation in this realm, and so it’s their goal to eliminate it.

The powers of Guardians is as follows:

1. Resurrection: When Guardians die, they can be resurrected by their Ghost. However if they are left too long without being resurrected they lose their memories.

2. There are 3 classes of Guardians, Hunters (Scouts or Snipers) Titans (Heavy Hitters, or “Tanks” (In videogame terminology)) and Warlocks (Mages or Palidans)

Each class has several different sub classes with special abilities, called supers. These Supers can only be used roughly once per 5 minutes, and make their users harder to kill while active. They last roughly 15-30 seconds.

Hunters have Gunslingers (Who can pull a Golden Gun out of the air that fires several devastating flaming bullets), Nightstalkers (Fires a Void bow that tethers enemies in range of its arrows, weakening and slowing them) and Bladedancer (has an electric staff)

Titans have Hammers of Sol (gains flaming hammers to throw at people), Sentinels (Like Captain America but with a void shield), and Fists of Havoc (Basically Thor at the end of Thor:Ragnarok)

Warlocks have Nova Bomb (Basically just a giant Void bomb that is thrown, exploding in contact), Dawnblade (Gets a giant flaming sword, and the ability to fly), and a Stormcaller (Lightning shoots out of the fingers)

3. Increased Mobility. Guardians have increased strength and jumping abilities.

These powers are negated if their ghosts are damaged

Restrictive qualities to the light agreed upon by us. Being pulled over to this dimension the guardians light is restricted. Not gone. The mentioned light abilities take longer to charge limit to one super ability and a guardian can't be revived unlimited times. Upward of nine max.

There should be a poll above. Tell us what you think. If it is approved then @Snipexe and I will make a Index score sheet.

Myriad saw Sebastian get hit with a superpowered riot. Idos Sebastian Ainz was his to bring down.

"You know what to do." A voice from the outskirts said. A voice he could only hear.

He did something they would not expect. He blocked the attempt to trip him up. Stopped Devaan from grappling him. 

He disengaged from his combat with Hellbent. He shot at Althea three times as he closed the gap between him and Max. Once he reached the rioting man. He delivered a blow to the side of Max's temple. Knocking him out would do.

****

He was hit with a powerful blast of emotion and crumpled. That few seconds would cost him. A new masked form. He took in what was happening. Myriad was dashing towards Max. The message was clear. Switch. He wire himself towards Hellbent. 

He kept his distance, firing lines at Devaan as he swung around the man.

Good thing you have two
