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.





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.

Important Notes


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.

Sheet

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.

*I was just literally playing Galeem's theme when I saw this - what a fucking coincidence and a half*

I might actually take a shot at this - even though Im in a bunch of RPs currently.

Hm... can I combine or retool a few characters or no? Or do I have to RP as that character?

There's no real restriction, but a character with a close bond to your character (such as a partner or good friend) is more likely to appear.

Spoiler


Maybe. I haven't put too much effort into planning endgame story in just the interest check.

You can make slight changes if necessary, or expound a bit on a character that would otherwise be too shallow but generally you should aim to be true to your chosen character.

@Lugubrious I was thinking of combining two characters with similar kits. They're both healers, just one would lead to more comedy using the kit of the other. But if not I could use the character with a better kit, although their personallity might not mesh well at all with the rest of the players due to how casually comedy dark they are.

Customization is why I think at this point in time I want to go Courier 6 from Fallout New Vegas.

Well, an option in this case would be to go with the one with more personality, and put the other down as the first Kindred Spirit. If the two meet, and tbe other becomes the first's spirit, your character can gain part of the spirit's kit.

Hm... I can make that work since both have the same kit, just one has a few more options due to how their games work. Like, the only difference between the two is one has about 5 more options than the other since one is more akin to a pokemon (the one I'mma play) and the other is a core class in a team based shooter and the only one of their type in that game.

Have you considered the option of characters building up to a final smash? Second question, more for others as I wouldn’t want to, but with the background set here is Kirby officially off limits?

Here he is! I do plan to want to have control of another character from the actual Smashverse (maybe Samus or Ridley) or otherwise maybe getting another new character (i.e: Doomguy).

Yeah, anyone with a oneshot that copies people should probably not be allowed for game balance I think.

Heres mine. Still needs a teeny bit of work but its mostly done.

Consider me very heavily interested, Lugs. Would you be against someone playing a character already in the game? I was really looking at Robin (female, skin 2) and was curious if it would be viable.
