Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse

Expect a posty either later today or on the morrow

War of the Multiverse

Hmmm possibly a different world? OH! how about we all just meet at Milliways, The restaurant at the end of the universe which includes time and matter, for breakfast and all our characters end up sitting at the same table because why not.
Cue chatting, watching the ending of the universe, food being served and all that usual restaurant stuff. Also meeting Benjamin Franklin. And then the adventure begins!

or another idea we start running for our lives on some sort of dangerous world where we're most likely going to die. I vote the Attack on Titan world, ho wants to become delicious?

War of the Multiverse

Well why not Earth? As in the earth where all these characters are supposed to be fictitious/non-existant? It could be our characters arrive through various means in around about the same area as The Incubators when they start harvesting peoples souls.
Although at that point I doubt our characters would be strong enough to fend them off for long so they'd have to retreat with the Incubators hot on their tail. Then we get to the whole bit of them being safe and asking questions about what happened, who each of them are, what to do. ect. :3

Also might be a good idea to drag in that exposition bit from the sign up onto here for future reference.

War of the Multiverse

Hider

• Name: Martha Rodes

• Age: 26

• Gender: Female

• Appearance: A very average young woman with red hair reaching down just past her shoulder blades, but normally tied up into a pony tail to keep it out of her eyes. Eyes are a beautiful brown while her skin is lightly tanned. Typical clothing takes the form of sturdy blue jeans, good brown boots, brown leather gloves and a red t-shirt. She also wears a pair of goggles that when aren’t protecting her eyes sit atop her head. She also has a little fire flower pendant around her neck.

• Method of Travel: She uses a MK8 (the very latest version) kart to get around the place. The Standard ATV frame coupled with the standard tyres allow for not only speedy travel but also and easy way to explore thanks to its ability to go underwater (water breathing spell for those in contact with the vehicle included), gliding and even anti-gravity (surface must be flat-ish) capabilities.
As for actually getting around to different multiverses Martha will often hope to find either some natural way (be it a tear or the sudden but short lived appearance of a warp pipe or even Hoopa ring) or ask about.

• Powers:
Generally much more durable and powerful than your average human due to the unique radiation from the Mushroom Kingdom saturating Earth allowing Martha to do things like hold her breath easily for almost an hour or even survive in space without a suit! But of course these things have limits and even though she could take a cannon ball to the face from a distance with little more than a lot of bruising, and maybe a few less teeth, a gun to the head will kill her.
The little bag: A small string tied back-pack that goes everywhere with Martha simply because it’s such a brilliant bag. Enchanted to be much bigger on the inside the opening can be stretched wide enough to admit even her kart which makes carrying things a breeze. Although the gulping a slurping downs it makes when anything goes it is a bit disconcerting not mention how it’s weight never really changes.
Standard Gunner outfit: it wouldn’t do to go travelling without some protection, or at least some means of defence. Which is where this happy little energy based weaponry comes into play, although Martha isn’t the best at using it.

• Personality: Brash and Bold Martha won’t let anyone stand in her way if there’s something she’s after, although when things start to go downhill she will also be the first one to admit it. As you can probably tell forethought isn’t one of her strongest assets but on the other hand she does also learn from her mistakes most of the time. But of course what’s probably her most defining feature is her curiosity and sense of adventure, where many of us will avoid for sense of fear Martha will probably already be heading down that dark alley to see what lurks within, lets just hope for her sake it’s not something dangerous.

• Starting World: Earth…sorta. Marthas Earth is one connected directly to the Mushroom Kingdom, home to the ever famous Mario Bros which is also connected to other universes home to memorable characters.
However often these connections are a bit flaky and haphazard so while Earth and the Mushroom Kingdom are in are near perfect temporal sync the same cannot be said when connecting to worlds like Hyrule and Fire Emblem which follow the same temporal time as almost every other world in the multiverse.

• Backstory: Surprisingly Martha isn’t the biggest fan of video games, probably because the world she lives in pretty much is connected to one with the first stable connection between Earth and the Mushroom Kingdom being made in 1992, a few years after she was born. The majority of her younger years had the backdrop of various probes into the connections between the two worlds followed by mass scares about radiation spikes in big cities and certain video game designers being held almost at gun point. Video Games themselves even came under deep philosophical questioning when even more worlds were found to be connected to the Mushroom Kingdom, but this soon passed with some awkward confusion and uncertainty.
Martha was always an adventurous type though and one who often found herself climbing a bit higher up a tree than she could climb down (and then clinging to the poor soul who went up to fetch her). So it was no surprise that these connections between worlds held her interest so tightly even when many others feverously told her to stop.
Years passed and Martha found life within the City of London to be stifling with no way out. At least until very recently when in 2004 when it was revealed that there would be a separate set of Olympics to be held in 2008 featuring none other than the famous Mario, Sonic and various other characters from their respective worlds. Much to her disappointment Martha wasn’t able to get tickets but still remained glued to the television every moment she could spare not only to watch the games themselves, but also to hear the fantastic news of free travel between worlds being finally allowed. Furthermore whilst the radiation now fully wrapped around Earth people were now starting to develop abilities as Humanity as a whole was launched forward in evolution.
Fairly soon Martha had managed to grab a semi-permanent residence on Wuhu Island, which had formed smack in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle and also another direct connection to the Mushroom Kingdom via Warp Pipe. From their Martha spent her days almost blissful exploring the kingdom and helping to document its borders, earning a living as a tourist guide for visitors to the world who had only seen it in the games no longer in production. A number of times Martha had also entered the Mario Kart Grand Prix and even the Spectators Smash Tournament but never quite qualified for either.
But then one sunny afternoon on WuHu Island, just as Martha had arrived home from another day trundling around the place in search of a few coins too help pay the bills, a Golden Ring filled with swirling darkness opened in her living room. Seized by a sense of ecstatic wonder and fear Martha stepped through it to who knew where.

@Psyga315 Hurray :D
So how many others are we waiting for then before throwing a thread together?

Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse

The cold evening air burned through Nintys lungs while sharp stones on the road stabbed her feet. The street was completely empty save for a few cars with their wet rooves shining brightly under the yellow street lights in the light rain.

After a few blocks Ninty was forced to stop under the complaints of her feet, scraped and bloodied with a few more holes in her tights, and pressed her back against a brick wall of a shop. There she stood with head turned upwards to let the rain was over her and while the world around her was still the alarm bells in her head rung louder than ever. It was just too quiet. Even if she hadn’t just come sprinting out of a pub filled with screaming people it would still have felt too quiet.

This was her city and even though this wasn’t anywhere near the centre of Brazen you would still have met at least a dozen people, even at this late hour. Lights were still on, shops were still open, faint music of a gramophone came lazily from an open window down the street and a nearby truck had its doors open filled with grates of fresh fruit for tomorrow. It looked as if everyone had just disappeared.

Looking further down the street Ninty tried to see if any of her friends had followed her. They had been just behind her, she was certain of it. After people started screaming at their performance and then those…things had appeared the band had quickly scrambled out the back door and out the alley. But where were they?

Pushing herself off the wall Ninty then became aware of a tug on her left arm from the strange sword, or more accurately club considering there weren’t any sharp edges along it, in her hand. She had no idea where it come from, possibly she had picked it up in fear somewhere along the way, and whilst it would’ve been easier to have left behind Ninty couldn’t bring herself to. It was oddly comforting to have at least something she could use to defend herself.
“Ah, you have a Key Blade! Kupo!” Came a voice from behind her.

Ninty in her surprise nearly screamed. With nerves shot and adrenaline still pumping its way through her body the elf quickly spun around bringing the weapon up to strike at the being that had scared her. Ninty watched as the thing gave a yelp of painful surprise and slam into the ground, only after a moment did she actual register that it wasn’t a threat but instead on of those ‘Moogles’ which had been appearing lately. Mainly around the docks and other areas of business and trade around Brazen.

“Oh by the Gods I am so sorry, are you okay?” Ninty bent down to help the wounded Moogle back up into the air. It was still odd to see them hovering without actually flapping their wings.

“Yes I’m fine, ouch.” The Moogle held its head with a paw. “But we have to hurry. We have to get you to Renovation. Follow me.”

“Wait, what? Hold on” Ninty followed off after the Moogle whilst trying to ignore her protesting limbs. “What’s going on? Where are you going? Where is everybody?” She ran after the Moogle down a side street lined by the backs of terrace houses, colourful and oddly shaped craft lay.

“Everything will be explained when we get to Renovation.” A door formed on the ships side and the Moogle floated in. “Come on get it in.”

Ninty raised an eye brow at the ship. It didn’t look like any aeroplane she had ever seen before, through process of elimination she had decided it no to be of the water borne variety. Its wingspan was far too small to get in the air even if it had a propeller, plus the door looked to have been built for a human child not for a full grown Elf.
“There is no way I am going to get in there.”

“Just duck and get in, come on we haven’t got all day!” The Moggle then turned its head to look at something inside the ship before turning back to her again. “Actually we haven’t even got half a day, just get in I have a schedule to keep.” And with the Moogle disappeared inside the ship.

This was by far the worst day Ninty had had, although that time she threw up on stage from food poisoning was a very close second. Despite Ninty being very much against going off with some strange creature in an even stranger ship as the last drops of adrenaline faded from her system her resolve seemed to bend under a mix of exhaustion and various aches around her body. And then there were also those things with glowing yellow eyes still out and about in Brazen.
“Well finally.” The Moogle spoke with an air of annoyance as Ninty crouched in order to get in. “Sorry about the door, I was expecting someone much younger to be the Key Blade wielder. Human too. Should be able to fix it when we get to Renovation”

“Key blade?” She replied with some puzzlement not only from the odd phrase but also that it was a lot bigger inside than she had originally thought, but the space to stand up was nothing to turn ones nose at.

“Here.” The moogle handed an envelope to her once Ninty had slumped into the second chair with a worrying creak. “This should answer at least some of your questions.”

But Ninty was too tired to open the letter and quickly fell asleep in the very comfy chair with her limbs resting on the floor. Even the odd whine of the engines and the thud of the ship punching its way out of the world did nothing to disturb her, but her nap was filled with a dream of stars.

Hider

Name: Ninty Bat

Appearance:

Hider

Standing at 6ft7 Ninty enjoys curly red hair, well kept skin with cheeks slightly too red without makeup, and stunning blue eyes. Although her nose never quite healed right from that fight with a 'Meat Stealer' and it's not likely that one can regrow teeth.
A big fan of dresses and skirts she loves her show-time dress; a cream colour short dress with wavy beads at the bottom, thin brown fingerless gloves and course her necklace and bracelet are mostly preal pearls.

Kayblade

Hider

Bio: The little Elf grew up in Brazen, a fairly young city having been establish almost two millennia ago (average Elf life span approx. 90 years) she was exposed to the many different cultures that filtered through the city from its ports. This brought many different spices, languages, fabrics and Ninty’s favourite; music.

When not at school or hiding from the House Maid for sneaking another rat into the house Ninty would be found down at the docks singing and dancing with the many immigrants who had fled to the county (their own being torn up by the wars that raged ironically because of the Government of the very country they were now fleeing to). Of course she also learnt how to fight as well against not only the other kids but the ever horrifying 'Meat Stealers' who would take children to who knew where to do who knew what to them. Now this was of course a very un-fitting thing for a child and heir of the very best Cigar company in the country.

But of course even with her parent resolutely forbidding her to go down to the Docks Ninty would do so anyway until one day her parents simply decided that she wouldn’t be the heir, nine months later Ninty’s younger Brother Bronwin was born. Surprisingly this worked out brilliant for everyone involved, apart from the Maid who soon had to become accustom to ‘Those immigrating scoundrels’ and Ninty (‘That Ruffian’) practicing in the kitchen.

Fast Forward 20 years and Ninty and her Band now perform regularly, mostly for their next meal and warm bed, in pubs, inns and hotels around the country. Plus Bronwin is nearly old enough to inherit the company, with some revolutionary ideas that he has yet to inform his parents about. The Maid sadly passed away due to a stress related illness.

It was supposed to be their big break, their very best performance at the Balton Arms. They’d even managed to get some agent from one of the record labels to watch them and possibly sign them on. The scene was set, the lime light setting stars in their eyes and their future grew brighter as they sang.

And then someone started screaming and soon enough Ninty found herself tearing down the high street, high heels left somewhere behind, and darkness pulling apart the buildings beside her.

Age: 49

Skills: Singing and playing the guitar are Nintys marketable skills which have often come in handy to get her a bed and some food. Other than that she can cook, barter and punch her way through most problems though for something more complex maybe ask someone else. But despite this she does have impressive business sense and an understanding of how to get what she wants for the cheapest price.

Personality: Loud and brash, if Ninty doesn’t like something you are bound to know about it, more likely sooner than later, and if you even dare to forbid her from doing something it will only make her more likely to do that thing out of sheer spite if anything. Of course she’s not so stubborn as to ignore things that her fault, but she may need reminding with a good punch to the face.

World Sheet

Name: Asprey

Summary of History: A small world once ruled by Gods whose magic energies would constantly tear up the earth they ruled and force the many sentient creatures to change shape, which in term created hundreds of races.

But as time went on these race grew irksome of the oppressive power of the Gods and after many years were finally able to forge weapons to destroy them; a Quill to bind the mind, a Torch to burn the soul and a Dagger to destroy the flesh. Now while many of the Gods fled the world in fear many of others stayed only to be destroyed by the weapons until only one remained which ore itself into several smaller less powerful gods to escape death.

With the Gods gone almost all the sentient races died out leaving only what we would define as the classic fantasy races to rule the planet. The Several gods then became the most powerful beings on the planet rulling over The Past, The Future, War, Peace, Life and Death. Excess magic energy also gave birth to less powerful beings known as Dieties who represented Art, Drudgery, Freedom, Tyranny, Aspiration and Dellusion. Together the Gods and Deities kept balance over the world but their power was fuelled by the belief of the inhabitants in them which was in turn powered by the magical energy the Gods and Deities had.

The a plague swept over the world decimating the population and while each of the races receded in fear to their respective strong holds but sadly it was too late. The great Dwarven Mines became tombs, the cities of Man became crumbling monuments, the Halfling towns became those of the dead and the forests of Elves turned white covered in bones. Only a few of the Elvish cities were able to last, holding themselves in for almost a generation before deciding it to be safe enough to explore the outside world and claim it as their own.

Sadly the damage had been done. The population had fallen so fast and the Gods, seeing the mortals simply as interesting play things, had been forced into a deep sleep with so little power. Last to sleep had been the Lady of the Past and with her the last traces of magic vanished from the world.

With magic rapidly growing weaker and many of the magical charms in place the Elves and few remaining Humans had to quickly adapt and technology flourished and within 10 millennia the world had become what it is now.

@Letter Bee righto I'll get to work on a post :D

Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse

Keyblade added and reworked history a little to include Humans. Is everything alright?

Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse

ooh this looks cool, would this little lady be acceptable?

p.s. does it have to be a key blade or could it be some other sort of weapon some of characters use? So far I'm thinking maybe an instrument or even gauntlets for this girl. But if keyblade needed then I shall hunt about for one.

Oh bumfluff, I don't have Humans in this world, should I do some reworking to the history?
