In many timelines, and in many worlds heroes fight, and they strive to seek their goals be it to save their friends, and comrades, or to help the people. Maybe seem just strive to seek an absolute truth. In seeking that they set out on a journey, and unending quest to reforge society, the world, people, you name it. But at the end of that journey...what exactly is left? They fight the villains, rescue friends, and see that the world is better than what they left it. But often they lose friends, and comrades along the way...sometimes they lose their lives. Many folks worship their sacrifices as heroes. Others die prematurely a strict showing of fate's innate cruel nature. Some die old, some die young. It matters not but what they accomplished. In seeking the truth of the world they sacrifice, and they struggle. The never ending heroes journey...but what happens after that death exactly? What happens when they last see their love as they pass away, or struggle out a smile to wish their friends a better future? Maybe they died alone? In a mansion in the void of all reality resides a place, similar enough to a hotel of sorts. A being lives isolated from all but the most demonic, or angelic beings. This being unknowingly powerful, and unflinching honest sits as the last judge of many of these heroes. Some float past him, but many are forced to acknowledge this one. Alone in the world with all but a young man clad in a white suit, and fedora with blonde hair who serves him as an assistant. This being brings together the lost souls of the fallen, or deceased heroes, and offers them a simple deal. It starts with a simple question: "Are you satisfied with your life? How you lived? How you died? Your accomplishments? Your legacy, and failures?" The Being is simply above such petty things, and whether he truly cares for the answers, or not is pointless. The follow up question is more important. "An offer I give to you. A simple one. Trade yours services to me. Fight for things that should be, must be, and will always be. A sentinel of a fate. Your soul shall be bonded to me, and this place. You may continue your fight. Not in your world but in many others. Things that must be are not, that's that must be do not, and will always be are for some reason never. You will be bound heart, soul, and existentially to this role. In exchange once you have passed enough trials. You may choose...reincarnation back into a world, the rekindlement of your old life to start back as if you had never died, or simply to fade away. You may always chose to walk away. To accept death truly, and utterly. Tell me hero? Are you satisfied? Or do you wish for more?" "But this is not immortality. You may die completely soul, and body if you fall while bonded to I. This place, this world will be your haven, or your hell if you make it be so. That is up to you." In this place be it hell, or Valhalla, or a chance to save others this being offers another chance. And by accepting it you chose to surrender yourself to the whims of fate. So...is it yes? Or no? ==== Hello everyone this roleplay will be based around a group of heroes from modern times, or old in an anime esk style roleplay where protagonists, or supporting heroes of their own stories died, and are given the option to refuse death in exchange for their continued skills. Some come from worlds of pure fantasy, of angels, and elves. Some come from the modern world wielding modern weapons. Some from steampunk combinations. Be it normal, or fantasy these heroes all have differing powers, and ideologies. But once the deal is accepted they must do the missions. They are free to refuse but then they won't be able to fulfill their promise quicker. Another world will suffer for their choice one way, or another. Or perhaps benefit. Due to the nature of the rp power scaling will be taken into account. There will be no world, or continental busters. Think of your traditional non-dbz shonen. I will make sure to weed out any abilities that many be too intrusive. We will have powers, and abilities befitting of heroes but not so much that every fight is a cakewalk. I want a standard run of the middle style hero, not goku, or the hulk. You may make up your own realities, or take aspects from another. This is not a 'multiverse' rp and will only be accepting OC characters. In a sense yes this is a multiversal roleplay but not one that's traditional mixing strange things like fallout, and the marvel universe. This is mainly meant for original universe mixing together but only under special circumstances. I'm aiming for more of an anime approach to this. If anyone has questions, or quarries you're free to ask them.
