Also, is the empire actually working with UoD? I ask because for some reason I saw them as more working parallel to the UoD than actually being officially aligned with them.

Edit--------
Also, I feel a bit bummed as I just realized Abigail is the only UoD character without an army, or minions to do her bidding @.@

@jynmi88

The Empire works for the UOD, yes. However, they also have much more freedom and independence due to their high tech military power... also space wizards.

Bowser works more directly with the UOD compared to the Empire. Afterall, Vader can sometimes be called in from his Universe by Palpatine to do work there momentarily, so he's not stranded in the Universe.

-------------
Considering I control the other two people in the faction, there's no need to feel bad lol. Im surprised there arent any other people having characters for the UoD. Kinda makes me sad tbh :(

Shattered Universe: Dimensional Warfare

@jynmi88 If you want, if thats the direction everyone wants to go, I can have either the Empire detect a disturbance near the bar (I made the post location rather ambiguous, so I can retcon the post to be nearby the bar) or I have introduce Bowser and his minions instead for back up.

Shattered Universe: Dimensional Warfare

Alright. I did Samus' post. It's in the same post as the Empire one, just so it wont clutter up the chat (as well as double posting).

I don't see any reason why not. Plus, we kind of need to start having characters interact in the IC or things are going to go south ^_^"

@jynmi88

Agreed. Everyone is starting out in random locations so we need to put some interactions here and there. (Im guilty of this as well as seen with the Empire, only because a base for the UoD has not been revealed yet. Bowser will also appear in the base once its been confirmed)

The way I was looking at it was the planet was inside UoD controlled space, so many of the UoD members frequent it, but I didn't see it as existing in any level of official capacity under the UoD

@jynmi88

Ah ok. I figured so. I just wanted to be sure. How do you feel having Samus stop by for a drink? Dunno if Abigail has heard of her or not, but I think it ought to be interesting how the two may react, if they decide to do so in the first place.

Shattered Universe: Dimensional Warfare

@jynmi88 So is Hog's Ass actually part of the Union Of Despair or is it like a common place where they hang out and the bar is simply neutral?

Cause I was thinking that Samus may pop in or something for a drink...

Shattered Universe: Dimensional Warfare

@Legion-114 So I’m guessing she’s accepted yeah?

(Considering you didnt mention anything wrong in that hillarious post, Ill say she is and add her in, but if there are any complaints just mention it to me and Ill fix them)

Shattered Universe: Dimensional Warfare

Posted for Vader. I will delay Bowser's post until an actual base for the Union is revealed.

Shattered Universe: Dimensional Warfare

Location: Executor Bridge

Theme

The sharp jagged spear-tip of the Executor lunges straight out of hyperspace as the enormous triangular Super Star Destroyer Dreadnought suddenly pops into view with a sudden halt. The majesty of this gigantic ship ultimately dwarfs the incoming Imperial-Class Star Destroyers that also just arrived from hyperspace traveling, four in total, as they escort the dreadnought in an orderly fashion, with two on each side of it. As part of this universe's faction, the Union of Despair, the navy of the supporting Galactic Empire is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, asset in their arsenal, and this is only counting for a simple Squadron, only a mere portion of the entire Imperial fleet. But this wasn't just any ordinary squadron of ships.

This is the infamous Death Squadron, the personal Imperial armada of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. This squadron is among the best of the Empire's Navy, which also houses the elite 501st legion, all lead by one of the most powerful force wielders of the era, second only to Vader's master, Emperor Sheev Palpatine. The fleet was just returning from a successful raid against the United Universal Council, having absolutely annihilated a planetary base simply by commencing an orbital bombardment from above. There was very little resistance from the space crew that was in orbit and any form of aggression was swiftly cutdown by the massive turbolasers from the capital ships. Not even a single tie fighter was even required to take off for that matter. Vader was most certainly pleased by the results and had released several probe droids into the neighboring planetary systems to scout out for other bases before leaving the sector.

The sith lord looks silently out from the Executor's bridge at empty space, save for the asteroid field lurking in the background. Despite his high position in the faction, he was rather displeased that he was forced to be working here rather than eliminating the pesky rebels from his own galaxy, but alas this isn't nearly as bad as he expected. It was just simply... all too easy for him as of now. He wants a challenge, a real threat to combat against instead of these filthy stragglers and fools of men. Vader then turns from the bridge and heads deeper into the ship in where he'll enter his meditation room to concentrate on the force. Perhaps a more significant threat will arrive soon...

Hopefully sooner than he realizes.

Location: Hog's Ass Pub

Such a toxic environment would usually deter the faintest of souls in stepping into a place of scum and villainy such as this. Yet as people were cleaning up the mess and getting back to their conversations, a certain "Hunter" class gunship silently lands near the back of the pub. The ship was colored a rusty yellow-orange hue, with multiple red stripes and symbols patched on her sides, a black underbelly, and has a neon-green cockpit window that completely hides the pilot. There aren't many ships like it out here in this sector of the galaxy, but it does tend to blend in with all the other bizarre-looking ships that were parked nearby. It was the perfect ship to lie low and patrol the more unstable environments of space.

As the people inside the pub began to clean up the mess spilt on the floor, the pilot of the vehicle makes its debut. Entering the building was a tall armored figure, completely covered in a suit of unknown metal that sports the same rusty color as its ship. The upper torso and head region is colored a deep hue of red, with lighter yellow tones forming her lower torso and her inner leg pieces, and sports a neon-green visor and stripes running down from the massive spherical shoulder pads down to the near tip of her torso piece. Most notably, its right arm has been completely replaced by a metallic-blue and grey arm cannon, a weapon that can be wielded on command and is active at all times. One would think that this is an elite soldier on a quest to rip someone here to pieces...

Thankfully for them, they were wrong.

Bounty Hunter Samus Aran was simply stopping by for a little R&R before heading on out back into space. The armored figure approaches the bar and sits near a more isolated spot towards the back. A young male bartender with brown hair and a robotic arm, not older than 25, approaches the hunter while cleaning a glass with a clean rag. He looks at the figure in relative interest before welcoming the figure.

"Welcome to the Hog's Ass Pub - what can I get for you this evening, sir?" the man asks in a polite tone as he finishes drying the glass in his hand.

The metallic helmet releases steam as it depressurizes the suit, allowing for the bounty hunter to take it off with ease. Much to the bartender's surprise, the face underneath the helmet was not a sir... but rather a mam. The man was dazzed by the surprising beauty that radiated from Samus' youthful caucasian skin, the smooth bright blonde hair that she shook around when tidying it, and the hypnotizing light-blue eyes that seemed to stare right into his soul and beyond. She was a beaut no doubt, and he couldn't help but stare for a few seconds before finally snapping back into reality.

"Uhh, mam." he replies while nodding his head rapidly and clears his throat before correcting himself, "Right... Excuse me. What can I get for you this evening, mam?"

Samus would think for a minute before moving her body slightly towards the counter.

"I'm feeling for a hard Silozian Bulb Tonic with a lemarian shot today." she replies with a smooth and ripened tongue as she sits back up in her seat.

"Excellent choice." the bartender nods as he turns to make the drink, "Give me one second then."

A few moments later the drink arrives in front of the parched Samus, fizzing delightly as it dances on the surface.

"Here ya go, mam." the young bartender answers before giving a nervous chuckle, "Enjoy the drink. And uh, pardon me for~"

But Samus only gives a hand up to stop him before muttering an audible "Pfft".

"No need to apologize." she replies nonchalantly as she takes a sip of the tonic, it's taste bursting through her mouth, "Nearly everyone mistakes me for a guy under the suit. No rookie mistake or anything. I'm used to it by now."

"Oh uh..." the bartender stammers briefly, "I see."

Nervously twiddling his mechanical thumb from underneath his sleeve, the bartender prepares to chat with the bounty hunter some more before being called upon by another customer. He hesitates slightly before nodding at Samus but then quickly walks away to attend the next person. Meanwhile the bounty hunter continues to sip the rich tonic in isolation from all the rest of the people in the pub.

Not like she minded it anyways...

Shattered Universe: Dimensional Warfare

And here's my final character for the time being, as well as my first good character.

Samus Aran

Zero-Suit / Face

Appearance:
Samus Aran is a cybernetically enhanced adult human caucasian female, standing at a height of 6'3" (1.9 meters) and weighs in at roughly 198lbs (90kg) without her suit. Despite this relatively high weight, her body is quite lean and athletically built, although this may be accountable to her muscle to bone density given her superhuman abilities and with the infusion of Chozo DNA. She has blueish-green eyes and bright blonde hair which is usually kept up in a ponytail along having sideswept bangs, with one lock hanging over her nose. Her Zero-Suit is basically a full-body skintight jumpsuit which she wears underneath her regular armor, and while it lacks in protection, it makes up for it by allowing Samus to be much more agile. Coinciding with every regular power suit that she wears, Samus's right arm is "replaced" with her signature arm cannon.

Personality:
Samus Aran is a no-nonsense bounty hunter who is usually described as a melancholic character and as a heroic loner of few words. She is absolutely merciless towards her opponents, using every available function of her suit and environment to get the job done, all while barely making a noise outside of a pained-grunt. She is a battle-hardened warrior who faces the ever-increasing threat of the space pirates, and shows unquenchable vengeance towards their leader Ridley, a space pterodacytl-dragon who murdered her parents when she was very young.

Yet outside her tough exterior, she is not a cold and heartless monster. Deep within her interior, she brings kindness and compassion towards her allies, always open to a conservation from others in times of peace. She won't hesitate to push herself up as a shield towards her comrades in times of hardship and will do anything to protect them to the best of her abilities. In fact, there are even rare times that she even grants mercy to those she deems worthy (one example being a certain baby metroid). And while she usually dislikes taking orders from superiors, if the situation calls for it she will ally for the greater sake of the Universe.

Bio:
Orphaned during a Space Pirate raid on her home of K-2L, Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police where she served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich, but she ultimately left to become a Bounty Hunter, though she was nonetheless recruited by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Armed in her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for her accomplishments on missions others thought impossible. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasites rather than turn them over to the Galactic Federation.

Years after her most recent mission (see Metroid: Fusion), Samus was suddenly warped when piloting her gunship to the universe that is the Shattered. She only recognized her situation after encountering an Imperial Star Destroyer that was floating in lone space, which opened fire on her ship. Barely escaping the onslaught, Samus realized that this world was not of her own. Now alone and cut-off from her home world, the bounty hunter attempted to survive in this new environment by traveling across the universe and presenting herself as a bounty hunter for hire. It wasn't until she discovered the United Universal Council where she began to diverge her bounty hunting career momentarily to assist them with missions that threaten the entire universe.

It is also worth mentioning that Samus' armor had reverted back to the regular varia suit, instead of the hybrid-fusion armor she wore after getting infected by the X Parasites, in which she had required surgery to removed the infected parts in her body. Not only did the scars seem to perfectly heal, but the Metroid Vaccine that was used to counter the X in her body seemed to have been neutralized completely without a trace. This means that Samus is now much more tolerant of cold temperature and is much more durable even without the power suit. Basically, she has returned to her Pre-Fusion state and yet there is no logical answer as of why and how this happened, other then the unexpected warp having to do with it.

Age:
Unknown; Looks Late-20s/Early-30s

Skills:

• Superhuman Abilities: Samus Aran’s infusion with Chozo DNA, as well as her warrior training since her childhood, has turned her into a superior athlete. Her training began at the age of 3 and continued up until she was 14 years old. As a result of the Chozo’s influence, Samus is capable of running and jumping heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human. Samus is also more adaptive to foreign alien environments that normal humans cannot survive in, such as the majority of Zebes and Elysia. She also possesses a lithe figure that allows her to crawl through tunnels and gaps that would normally require usage of the Morph Ball.
• Top-Tier Marksmanship / Superb Combatant: Samus also demonstrates good sharpshooting skills. She is an excellent marksman, with incredible aim, and is tremendously deadly in combat. When in melee combat, Samus often uses kicks, punches, and wrestling tactics to weaken her foe for a point-blank shot.
• Excellent Pilot: Samus is a significantly good pilot, as she pilots her personal gunship across the cosmos with ease. Combined with her excellent marksmanship and her shots will mostly hit true. However, she is still prone to get shot down and is still capable of calculating errors.
• Varia Suit: An upgrade of her regular power suit, the Varia Suit provides Samus with better damage reduction, nullifies damage from Acid, slightly increases speed, and protects the user from extreme heat and sub-zero temperatures. It also supplies Samus with an intense arsenal of beams and missiles for her to utilize and allows her to transform into her morph ball form which can also be utilized to unleash a screw attack or space jump maneuvers. A list of her current arsenal is shown below:
  
  • Power Beam: Samus' regular beam. It's her basic default weapon and while it does little damage to powerful enemies, it can still easily clear entire rooms filled with weaker foes.
  • Charge Beam: A more potent version of Samus Aran's normal beam, Samus can focus energy into her Arm Cannon and later release it at any time as a charged shot. It is many times more powerful than firing a normal beam.
  • Ice Beam: Samus' can fire a shot of ice that can freeze nearly any opponent that gets in its way.
  • Plasma Beam: One of Samus' most powerful beams that can pierce through multiple foes. It's usually used as a sniping weapon that can take multiple enemies by surprise in a single shot.
  • Homing Missiles: Samus can fire homing missiles that can lock onto a foe and cause significant damage if hit.
  • Super Homing Missiles: A more powerful and faster missile variant that is used to combat against stronger opponents.
  • Bomb: While in morph ball form, Samus can drop bombs that detonate after a few seconds. If Samus deploys a Bomb below her, she'll make a small jump called a Bomb Jump.
  • Power Bomb: One of Samus' most powerful weapons in her arsenal, the power bomb is capable of blowing up within a surprisingly large radius.
  • Grapple Beam: Samus can fire a plasma grappling beam that allows her to latch onto certain surfaces, allowing Samus to swing to and from certain locations whereas her screw attack and space jump cannot.
  • Zero Laser: Samus' most powerful beam weapon, the Zero Laser an enormous beam of energy that deals a high amount of damage while also passing through multiple opponents and is capable of breaking through walls. In order to fire a beam of such magnitude, Samus would need to gather up at least 50% of her available energy reserves to pull it off effectively or her suit has to be enriched with energy in a hyper-like state. The recoil of the beam is so great that it tears off Samus' Power Suit and will take a considerable amount of time for the natural phazon within the armor to reformat the entire suit.

Faction:
United Universal Council
