Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

No worries, I get that. But I have a few questions. The "Verse" explanation seems very similar to that of "Existence" as we define it here. Is your intention that they *are* the same thing, or that one exists within the other, or are you saying that the "Verse" is a different Plane, for example? I'm just trying to figure out how things will interact since the "Verse" does fundamentally differ in some ways from "Existence".

@The World

They are the same thing, but using different terms. The author of that CYOA essentially intended for Verses to be their own Existences containing omniverses and such along with our own universe from what the lore they wrote says. I will point out that since Zachary has Anarchic Verses on his sheet, it naturally implies the existence of many other Verses and Existences, not all of which are necessarily similar. In Zachary's case, his Verse or Existence does not have any of the OCs or organizations from MR, merely official works like Marvel and such, along with some organizations found in the CYOA.

Essentially, his Verse is another Existence in the Outside, it's just different in terms of structure, contents, and referential terminology. That's how I intend to make it work, and honestly how it most likely would given how closely the CYOA author's lore and the lore you've made here align.

I should also note that since he's the only Living God as far as we're aware, in this roleplay anyway, that only he knows for sure out of everything in his Verse that other Existences are real. Since he's the only being from his Verse who operates at a level beyond it and all other than the Entities, who I just assume are so batshit insane they can't do anything with such knowledge. Course wanting to live a normal life means he didn't tell anyone a damn thing before he left to come to the one Myriad Reality takes place in...

Another reason I stress reading his sheet is so I don't have to explain something twice, and also so no one gets upset if he does use his powers. I've had this happen before mind, where some lazy twat doesn't read what my character can actually do and then gets pissy when I proceed to do said thing.

I really don't want a repeat of that, especially not here, so please take some time to read his sheet and then the CYOA authors lore on what a Verse is. That way you know who Zachary is as a Living God, and the scale his powers actually operate on. Like I'm not using his full might because that doesn't fit him as a character at this point in his arc, but what little he can use is still extremely broken, and I'd prefer you know that beforehand so no ones fun gets ruined.

@Caldizar

We don't really use sheets here, plus not reading gives less chance to meta-game, and leaves it to the character's actions to discover about them.

It's fine that you did a sheet, I'm just saying for the record.

@DarkwolfX37

I'm aware, but seeing how I made Zachary using an overpowered god CYOA, you need the sheet.

Besides it's literally impossible to meta-game him in actuality. The only reason he works here is because I'm not having him want to use his power. Or at least the full breadth of it.

What did you mean by that?

@Dark Cloud

What is with people and not bothering to read sheets?

Alright so Zachary has Meta Immortality and Unbound, which are as follows...

Meta-Immortality (0): You are eternal and invincible on a metaphysical level, and your state of existence is beyond time, space, and causality, immune to harm from all conceivable sources, even of a metaphysical or abstract nature. You cannot die, even on a conceptual level, by any means at all. Along with eternal being, you also possess eternal agency; you cannot be bound, entrapped, or otherwise imprisoned, nor can your will and self be altered or manipulated; you will always have the full capability to do that which is your will to do, immunizing you from the effects of manipulations or restraint of any kind. Should the local universe, multiverse, omniverse, or even the Verse itself or all Verses be compromised, then you will continue to exist in spite of this, and, if you so choose, may remain unconscious and unaware of the passage of time until the natural forces of creation reconstitute existence. You are exempt from the negative side effects of living an infinite life, such as boredom, ennui, depression, mental instability, and so on, if those emotions or any other effects like them were to be caused by the fact that you live an eternal life. If you should ever wish to pass on from this life, you may do so freely and enter into an afterlife of your choosing, and may return to life whenever you desire to, and, if you are so inclined, reincarnate into whatever form of natural life is fitting for you throughout the cosmos. You are eternally in your prime, are immune to the effects of age, and possess perfect mental and physical faculties, meaning that you will never lose your soundness of mind or become unable to recall events from millions or even billions of years ago.

Unbound (0): You possess true and transcendent freedom from all authority and wills other than your own. You self is inviolate and unchained by that which once abated you; good and evil, truth and lies, one and all. Because your self is inviolate, and you are thus unbound by causality, fate, the past, the present, or the future, there are no longer versions of yourself that exist in alternate worlds, times, or spaces, and you yourself encompass all that is and ever will be called "you," making you a Versal Constant. You cannot have your ascent prevented via retroactive alteration through time travel or similar abilities, nor can you have your actions subverted in any way; just as your self is inviolate, so to is your will; nothing can influence your decisions or desires but your own will and pleasure; your will is your own, and temptation, manipulation, irrationality, and the like will not inhibit it. Similarly, you are completely freed from emotions you do not wish to experience, and are unbound by psychological or biological factors in your wellbeing or personal state. You may experience whatever emotions or sensations you desire, and may adjust your mental and emotional state to whatever is desirable to you.

I'm just saying, Ded can't actually do anything to him. Nothing in any Existence could really, except maybe another Living God of equal power, though even then it'd most likely be a stalemate.

Assuming he wanted to fight to begin with.

*Eventually reaching a large apartment complex, I head inside and up to my respective floor. Unlocking the door to my pad, I step inside as it swings shut behind me, eager on a shower and some much needed rest*

Likewise.

*Makes my way down the street, taking out an old smartphone as I do. Fiddling with it a bit, I continue to weave my way through the oncoming crowds*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Very well.
*Looks upward at the hawk returning*
I wish you the best.

@Techspert

Thanks.

*Pushes myself off of the bus stop, casting a sideways glance at you as I move to continue my walk down the street*

Try not to get into too much trouble out there. I'd really hate to have to leave another Verse behind.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I do. I hope you'll stick to your words today.

@Techspert

I've been doing that for ages, I think I can do it for longer yet.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I'd rather you not.

@Techspert

*Reaches into my jacket to pull out another cigarette followed by a lighter*

Then I won't.

*Placing the filter between my lips, I light the other end, flicking the lighter shut and stuffing it back into my jacket*

Now, I'm sure you have somewhere else to be...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Fortunately, you have the opportunity to not be involved.

@Techspert

I've always had that option, even with fate's nagging in the meantime.

*Pauses*

Now a better question would be, why should I get involved? What prevents this from being like every other time, and you like every other supplicant?
