UNKNOWN: I saw. You could've just said you were new and left it at that. You definitely didn't have to show them your arm.

*She sighs.*

UNKNOWN: I'm the person who's supposed to pick you up at the spaceport, but I don't know how the hell we're going to do that now. I'm going to direct you out of these sewers, and then we're going to figure out what on God's green Earth you're going to do next, because plan A's gonna go out the window if they get a bead on you in another district. Take the next right, by the way.


I'm unfamiliar with your customs, my apologies.
*Takes a right*
But lucky for us, I happen to be in perfect health. Did they capture an image of my face, by chance?

My plan was that, like the Sol Cooperative and DARPA team, the Varroi would be hunting Lucy across the multiverse themselves using their own transdimensional travel methods. The Sol Cooperative uses a modified warp drive, DARPA a prototype wormhole generator, and the Varroi an airship modified with void-protection magic, similar to the Spelljammers from D&D.


I can't say I'm familiar, but a technoboost qualifies as far as I'm concerned.
Basically Focus Mode is about the only major ability he has besides his Gladius (Roman short sword) and shield.

I was actually going to do it anyways as part of a plot involving another one of my characters, Mr. Lucy. The Varroi was to be part of the group that's currently trying to hunt Lucy down, so that could loop you in if they meet (and you want to be looped in, ofc)


I'm fine with that for these purposes. I'd probably suggest them picking up something that can sustain themselves long-term in the multiverse if they're going to branch out to Existence proper after that point.

*The voice that comes out is high, clearly feminine, and very, very angry.*

UNKNOWN: You're on the news; they're deploying CRS Counter-Terror to South Union, something about an active bioweapon in city limits. Vector, what the fuck did you do?


I said hello to a couple of officers. Frankly, I think they overreacted.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*The officers scatter in search of the blast, giving you just enough time to slip into the storm drain without anyone noticing. However, you're then confronted with a different problem: you have no idea what the sewer system's layout is and how to get out of this district. It's possible that you could find a map down here, but time is of the essence; it's likely the Central Response Service will begin blocking off the sewers soon to prevent you from leaving the district.*

*Suddenly, something starts buzzing in your pocket. It's a flip phone, one you didn't have on your person before. Someone's calling you.*


Oh? How fascinating.
*Flips open the phone as I walk through one of the corridors at random*

1. The Broken Oath Gate (Most Canon-Respectful)

Rome already toys with the supernatural: Nemesis, souls, cursed blood, gods who interfere but never explain themselves.

How it happens

After the fall of Nero and the collapse of Rome’s divine favor, Nemesis’ domain fractures.

Marius dies again—but this time, there is no proper judgment.

Instead of returning to the Underworld or the mortal world, he is cast out of the Roman cosmology entirely.

Result

He awakens in another world, armor intact, sword real, but Rome silent.

No gods answering him.

No prophecy.

Just a soldier displaced.

Why it works in RP

He doesn’t know multiverse rules.

He assumes this is exile or punishment.

His goal becomes service, order, and survival, not conquest.


Okay, I'm fine with that idea. What sort of abilities would he retain? I don't assume he'd just be an "above average strong guy"?
@darkred

Do you have any backstory on how they became interdimensional or the ways you see him participating in a multiverse RP?
OH.....

Now i get it. I don't think i was part of the rp before. It was part of another rp.


No problem, thought it might be something like that. You're welcome to apply if interested still.

I think Marius Titus/ Damocles but hmmm..


Those names aren't popping up in the search feature. Was it under this account? I'm not seeing any history with us on darkred.

- I don't have to give you shit. Stay back.

*Behind you, you can hear the other enforcers stumble out of the cafe, grabbing for their rifles. Around you, you see the advertisements flicker out, replaced with black text on a red background.*

ANNOUNCEMENT: ATTENTION. ATTENTION. PLEASE REMAIN CALM. REPORTED BIOCHEMICAL HAZARD IN LOCAL AREA. SHELTER IN PLACE UNTIL ALL CLEAR IS GIVEN. SEAL ALL EXTERNAL DOORS AND WINDOWS. TUNE TO GOVERNMENT CHANNELS FOR MORE INFORMATION. ATTENTION. ATTENTION. PLEASE REMAIN CALM...

*There's one way out, even as the enforcers surround you. You're standing by a storm drain, but alarms are starting to go off. Whatever you're going to do, you have to do it now.*


Ah, I seem to have made a mess of thi—
*A blood-curdling scream followed by an enormous explosion rings out behind the officers, and while the incident distracts them, I flip up the grate of the storm drain with surprising strength for my size, and slip inside*
We'll have to finish this next time.
*When they look for the explosion, its illusory source cannot be found*
