Chaos[/b], the Darklight, the Anti-Creation, the End of All Things... Casts its malevolent eye upon you.

Eons ago, Creation was a single world, whole and harmonious. However, the coming of the End, of Chaos, shattered Creation into innumerable Planes so that Chaos and its forces could not corrupt and destroy all of reality as we know it. This cataclysm succeeded in stopping the machinations of Chaos and lulling it into a dormant state, but the cost was enormous. Cut apart from Creation, each Plane has become a world unto itself, but they are usually strange places, home to extreme environments, cultures, or even physical laws absent among other Planes. Many of these Planes are also host to a Shard of Chaos, an artifact of apocalyptic evil, the power of Chaos locked away to weaken its source.

However, after generations of peace among the Planes, the threat of Chaos has faded from memory, and this forgotten evil stirs once more. Through hidden mystical power, Chaos has recruited followers to its cause. Villains, tyrants, rogues, monsters, and other ne'er-do-wells across the Planes now claim allegiance to Chaos, and have vowed to free their dark master from its eternal prison. Among this Legion of Chaos, none are more dangerous than the Archons, the hand-picked generals and champions of the Legion whose mission is to collect the Shards of Chaos, reforge Creation, and then conquer it in the name of Chaos.

Hi, this should be pretty straightforward, we're all making world-conquering endgame fantasy/etc characters and then pitting them against hapless legions of foes. A good time had by all, with plenty of scheming, murdering, and other hilarious atrocities.

Ideally each character would be from their own Plane, have their own gimmick, and also come equipped with their own Shard of Chaos. This is functionally your "blessing" from Chaos that is also your access to the Legion's interplanar HQ, within the physical manifestation of Chaos itself. Anyway, your characters would join forces, hop from Plane to Plane bringing about an unholy reckoning, collect the Shards of Chaos along the way, and hopefully bring about the end of the world!

Anyway just some food for thought, this is still at an early stage so details can be hashed out and decided on as needed. Let me know if you have questions, concerns, or character concepts!

[hider=Starter CS]
[b]Name:[/b] What people call you. If this is unpronounceable/can only be typed with the CTRL or ALT keys, please include a shortened form.

[b]Epithets:[/b] Titles, Sobriquets, Monikers, Nicknames, Aliases, etc. Go nuts.

[b]Age:[/b] Time flows at different speeds between planes. How old are you on your home plane?

[b]Home-Plane:[/b] Speaking of your home plane, where/what is it? Give me a description of what is unique about the world-shard that you are from, what sets it apart from the others and has contributed to making you the nightmare you are today. This place should have been conquered as part of your backstory, so if you wanted to describe the current status of your estate, this would be the place to do it.

[b]Description:[/b] This is a joint section for both appearance and demeanor. I think it's safe to assume we're all evil bastards, and this isn't quite the right RP for a lot of navel-gazing about how mommy didn't love you, so we're keeping the personality descriptions short and sweet. Describe your character, getting across the features of their appearance and persona that you feel are relevant.

[b]Backstory:[/b] Let me be crystal clear: I do not want pages of backstory here. Keep it short, sweet, and stick to three main points. 1. Who are you? 2. Why are you a villain? 3. How did you become an Archon? For the last question, generally speaking characters become Archons when they acquire a Shard of Chaos, typically somewhere along the course of them conquering their home plane. Shards are a bit like The One Ring in that they "want" to be found, so your tale of conquest does not necessarily have to include seeking the Shard out; one could easily happen upon one in the course of normal supervillainy. 

[b]Shard:[/b] Okay, now tell us about your Shard of Chaos. Remember that this is basically a phylactery containing a measure of the trapped power of Chaos. It is a physical object, each one unique to the plane it manifested on, and should in some way be thematic to your plane or character. They were formed when Creation was shattered, but can change shape so they could be a piece of "modern" technology, and it is rarely obvious what these truly are. Your Shard could bestow you with some kind of power, or it could be a cute accessory, but the feature they all have in common is that they are a direct link to Chaos itself and can hearthstone you back to Gladius, the interdimensional HQ of the Legion of Chaos.

[b]Powers:[/b] Finally, this is where you can get into all of your powers, abilities, skills, magic, gadgets, talents, parlor tricks, and so on that make your character the terrifying force for evil that they are. Just give me the broad strokes, I don't want a spell list.

[b]Misc:[/b] Anything else you feel like sharing not covered by the above.
