[i]With an army of Master Hands under its control, Galeem sought to create a new world.

The fighters and their countless stories came to an end as light consumed them.

Thus, the universe was crushed in the hands of Galeem.

Those who fought the light were devoured.

The others lost their bodies and became spirits.

Only one survived.

A star of hope twinkles faintly as the dust settles on a new world.[/i][/center]

Welcome to the World of Light. An otherwordly entity known as the Lord of Light, Galeem, has annihilated the universe, sending streams of all-consuming light into every game world to wipe the slate clean so that he might build something anew. Only Kirby, borne on a Warp Star while Galeem's attack still picked up speed, escaped. 

But the weight of the world is a heavy burden indeed, and his constant fight has left him exhausted. He managed, however, to free a small group of spirits, and split his remaining power into Friend Hearts to revive them. They're a motley crew, hailing from a variety of world and origins, but with Kirby unable to fight any longer, the task of finding and defeating Galeem falls to them.

You're one of these revived spirits. You can be any game character from any game franchise, hero or villain, side-characters of all stripes. You face impossible odds, an adventure across landscapes that span the imagination, an endless series of battles, puzzles, and obstacles, meeting friends and foes familiar and new on the chance that you might reach the Lord of Light and undo all he has wrought.

In essence, this is a massive crossover adventure, with the players deciding where to go and what to do, encountering all sorts game worlds, characters, and items. There will be some RPG elements, with EXP for word count and as rewards, and each level earning you a new ability. Since most characters bring with them a narrative, who you pick and what you do will directly impact the RP's events, so the possibilities are endless.

[h3]Important Notes[/h3]

1. All standard roleplaying rules apply. Be excellent to one another.
2. Your characters will start off somewhat weak, no matter how strong they were originally, but as you play you'll become stronger and more capable.
3. Your character will have to be from a game, but it can be any officially-licensed game, no matter the console or company.
4. While you start with one character, you will be able to get another if you want after meeting certain conditions.
5. While not 18+, there will be some more mature themes going around, and I expect some violence.

[h3]Sheet[/h3]
Here's a tentative sheet if you want to start planning out your character. Coding is included, which you can take if you 'view raw' this post and copy from there.

[hider=CS]
[b]Name:[/b] 
[b]Game Origin:[/b] 
[b]Appearance:[/b] (You can use just an image, a description, or both)
[b]Personality:[/b] 
[b]Background:[/b] (A history, a few sentences minimum, of where the character came from and what you were doing prior to the events of the World of Light. Galeem might have attacked at any point in your character's story, and his attack stretched across the dimensions, potentially reaching characters that are canonically dead)

[b]Specialty:[/b] (What your character's best at; what their main role will be to the group, like defense, magic attack, healing, traps, you name it. Can be general or specific)
[b]Level:[/b] 1
[b]Experience:[/b] 0/10 (The amount of EXP required to level up will double with each level, but rewards get bigger, too)
[b]Powers:[/b] (You start with one, no matter how many your character had before, and will earn one with each level. They should make sense for your character)
[list]
[*]
[/list]
[b]Strengths:[/b] (Things your character's always good at, or always can do; essentially, passive abilities or bonuses. You start with three, but you can add more in place of powers when you level up)
[list]
[*]
[*]
[*]
[/list]
[b]Weaknesses:[/b] (Faults, flaws, inabilities, and so forth. Nobody's perfect)
[b]Spirits:[/b] (Here's a fun one. As you adventure in the World of Light, chance are you'll free spirits, which are entities from other games. If you bond with them, and convince them to remain in the dangerous World of Light rather than disappear, they'll channel you their own strength. These can result in your character gaining new powers or strong equipment without having to level, though the price is some sort of change to your character, physical, mental, or both. Start with none for now)
[list]
[*]
[/list]
[b]Kindred Spirits:[/b] (Some souls are seemingly bound together by destiny. Put up to three characters here closely tied with yours, and you'll run into them sooner or later in the RP)
[b]Inventory:[/b] (Whatever gear, weapons, and items your character has)
