Worlds collide in a competitive roleplay setting. The imagination is the limit, with a very wide open opportunity for any style of character and environment!
Any character is available, from comic books to video games, literature and cinema, cartoons or your own original creation!
Work has been put in for some time, and we'll be starting soon. While it will be based on combat, it carries a combination of different styles of forum-based roleplaying that newcomers and veterans alike should find very enjoyable.
Please, ask any questions you have at your leisure, but certainly have a look around. The rules are posted, the CANON tells you the general plot without inhibiting your own approach, and the application is open to any who wishes to join!

Current scientific theories have only begun to delve into the existence and function of parallel and/or multiple universes.
There is also quite a bit of controversy on just how powerful the mind is, and the power of creation given to humanity's imagination.
Little is known at this point about the chaotic phenomena that have suddenly shattered the known realm of existence. Even as the turmoil ensues, the greatest scientific minds from all realities are stretching their knowledge to find an explanation.
The general consensus thus far, while limited, is thus:
The behavior of electrons suggests the possibility of parallel universes, on different frequencies so to speak, layered on top of each other. Different major events and choices are made, either by different people or alternate versions of ourselves. Thus, viewed from the right perspective of space and time, an atom would appear to have an electron cloud around it.
This is the same on the macroscopic scale, as it is on the micro.
Something has interrupted the balance between these layered realities, and they have begun to merge together on a single plane. The source is unknown, as it was not gradual but instantaneous. People from alternate realities, whole cities, planets and galaxies, are merging together. And it is far beyond the scope one would presume.
Imagination creates worlds, thus they exist in some form. This hypothesis, whether literally suggesting a living physical reality for fictional characters or not, is being put to the test, as their realities are being perceived.
Imagine growing up in New York City reading Spider-Man comics for most of your life...then one day, seeing him sling by your window to the chorus of sirens.
The other significant phenomena is tied into this clashing of realities. When beings of alternate universes meet, they are overtaken by an urge to combat, on the level of the most basic instinct. This animalistic craving to defeat the opponent is not an urge to kill, simply to defeat and show dominance over. When these melees occur, the victor feels stronger, and the essence of his reality has more influence over the world. The loser, in turn, will become slightly weaker, and will see that the reality that they are accustomed to is fading away to the influence of stronger beings.
Thus, winning in combat is survival. It is the only way to live. Alliances are being made, but it is still hard to overcome, even for a pair of honor-bound heroes. The instinct is to win, using every strength and advantage.
When not engaged in combat, because their reality exists in a strange combination with others, it is still life as usual, depending on the individuals normal routine. The strongest of beings, who determine the balance due to the scale of their power, will be drawn to certain locations, or draw others toward themselves. Everyone continues to live their daily life, but now has the occasional motivation toward combat and victory, thus securing their own reality's grip as the balances shift.
Despite the chaos of all alternate realities collapsed into a single amalgamation, all sides are trying to find a middle ground to maintain peace and establish a norm. All recognized countries from our reality exist, with contradictions existing as additional anomalies yet to be explained (for example, we don't have a President Luthor...but now there is one in the history books).
Due to the significance of their impact on reality, the greatest of heroes and villains are being tracked and monitored so that their influence can be recognized in real time. They are followed and observed in many different forms of the media, from television news and newspapers, to Youtube videos and even the movies!
The balance of power and influence changes daily, and so the need for answers is great. No one can tell what will happen in the future, but speculation suggests that all of reality is going to be chaotic until the rise of a single influence to dominate the rest. The consequences of any hypothesis are good and bad, depending on who you ask.
Only the future will tell, from now, what the world will be...tomorrow...
