[b][i]Katherine's Setup - World: Chronicles of Darkness/New World of Darkness[/i][/b] [i]Kingdom Hearts, a dimension beyond even the Supernal Realms, the Truth beyond Truth, one which can change Chronicles of Darkness into Chronicles of Light.[/i][i]The X-Blade, pronounced Key-Blade, the protector of Kingdom Hearts as well as a way to enter it.[/i] [i]The Ordinary Keyblade, made in the image of the prime X-Blade, but which has power from one's Heart, just as the X-Blade has the power of Kingdom Hearts.[/i] [i]Katherine Ambrose, the holder of one of these Ordinary Keyblades. A young woman who has attained great power, and now governs the destinies of her world. She hath been raised high.[/i] "Katherine, wake up," she was being shaken awake by one of her friends, the 'Wolf-Blooded'. He or she - Katherine cannot remember because she was so groggy - would then say: "Someone's at the door; asking for you." In the New World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness, that was usually a bad sign; either Supernaturals or Hunters wanted to play mind games with you, arrest you, or both at the same time. Katherine had been extra-uncautious lately while fighting the Heartless, and that was a bad thing in this universe. "Should we be worried?" the friend knew it was a rhetorical question. [i]Do not try to escape, Katherine Ambrose; you need not fear harm. Have you not become the arbiter of this world's destiny?[/i] The whispers inside her head were firmer. [i]This will be the climax between those who wish that suffering across all worlds be kept alive in the name of 'balance', and those who do not.[/i] She had the option of confronting the unknown person below, or still trying to escape via her bedroom window - she would notice that she was in the bedroom of her house, and that her friend had been sleeping over. If she took option one, she would see that the unknown man was just about her age, although he wore a genuine Special Forces outfit. A closer look would see that he also carried a Keyblade, a keyblade that was currently blue and pastel yellow. If she tried to escape via the window or another way out of the house, she would see...that same young man, only [i]without[/i] a Keyblade. In any case, the young man would introduce himself, "My name is Shahrukh Mizra the Fifth, Keyblade Wielder, and in my world, Sultan of Egypt, Yemen, the Levant and the Hedjaz, Custodian of the two Holy Mosques, and despite my loose sexual mores and relative irreligiosity, an actual Caliph, unlike the terrorist in your world claiming that title. Oh, and [b][i]Got it Memorized[/i][/b]?" Shahrukh would then continue, "Now, can you let me in your house, so that we can talk?" If Katherine decided to let him in, Shahrukh would bow gracefully and follow her. If she didn't, well, there would be a fight, a fight that would not be desirable in this neighborhood, cause collateral damage, and lead to Hunters and who knows what else arriving. So, assuming she didn't take the second option, Shahrukh would then say: "You're a Keyblade Wielder, heir to an order of warriors that fought against disorder and stasis both. But that order has been destroyed and efforts to restore it have been hitting a snag thanks to various...extremists trying to destroy what they see as the 'Tyranny of Light'," he would then fold his arms together. "And, well, I'm recruiting you for a trip to other universes, so that they can be saved," Shahrukh, now coming closer to a streetlamp so that the latter's light would highlight his curly red hair and deep green eyes, would then give an explanation of the mission of the current group of heroes*. Once the story was done, the young man would then say, "And now, the group finds themselves attacking the world of Panem from Hunger Games, and facing an enemy ambush, even as another faction has acquired the person of the Princess of Heart there, Prim Everdeen. As for me, I can't help them because I'm keeping order in another universe for my friend v2; heck, I'm only here on break. So, will you help my friends, or will I spend more precious hours trying to convince you?" *https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3821548 https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3821596 [@Kalzky]
