We're in quite the interesting time in The Multiverse Chronicles. Besides it being dead, that is.

Six people were brought together, each with their own specific role, to bring balance to the world. One might recognize this as the story told in Kingdom Hearts, but there are deviations-I'm actually adding in some elements from the 39 Clues series as well-Some of which even contradict Kingdom Hearts. In fact, the disaster that leads to the Keyblade War might also lead to a disaster similar to what happened in 1507 based on that series. (Basically, what lead to the different branches being enemies and the fight for the Clues?)

Each Union had a different purpose. And a different Union for each of them.

Well, all but the mysterious sixth, "Luxu", who vanished to a place, who knows where.

But there would come a time when Gideon (Master of Masters) passed on, vanishing without a trace of his research. Only the five remained.

All of them would collect the Light, both to use it against the darkness, and to fulfill the goal of their specific branch.

Now, two Unions could not band together to complete their roles. Why? Because the balance demands that all five have the same amount of power, to avoid a certain few taking all the Lux for themselves. If two branches worked together on a role, that would bring the allied two into a surplus, and reduce the amount left for the others, when all five are meant to be just as important as each other. ...But Gideon's dead. He wouldn't know if someone betrayed that. And surely, he didn't mean never, did he? *grin*

Given that a problem would arise in the future foretold that would lead to a great calamity, there must have been a time in the future where there is a lack of balance.

Meaning that one branch would inevitably betray their goal, or the other branches.

Now to the different branches.

Leapordus/Ekaterina/???:The role here is a scientific goal. Learning more about the world, and attempting to find out who the treacherous branch actually ends up being. If everyone followed their role, there would be no problem-Hence, if there is a traitor branch, it must be the one who does not do their role. Perhaps making better Keyblades would be on the list. Or attempting to find out just what the Heartless actually are.

Unicornus/Tomas/???:The original "leader", so to speak. Back when the Unions were first being made, they were the leader. Now? They're the explorers. They set out to explore the world, in an attempt to find more sources of Light. The more Light everyone has, the better.. But it's also simply to map out the world. (No, that last part wasn't a part of the original role. But over centuries, they've decided they explore in general. At least they're still following their role, but don't be surprised if people get suspicious..)

Ursus/Lucian/???:The current leaders. While Ira, the original Unicornus, was the original leader, that was when there were only the five people. Now we have unions, which require a different kind of leadership. And there's more to the world than just the Unions.

Anguis/Janus/???:What exactly creates and spreads Light in the first place? There was a time when everyone was doing this-Recall the Cascade? Light was created by worlds. And while it was seemingly impossible to create new worlds physically anymore, recall two things:First, that the world is made up of information, and second, that one can create such information through art. (That's right, these people created the first stories!) This would hopefully have the side effect of getting the unions to get along. This lead Invi, the founder, to have also acted as a mediator between the Unions, before she vanished, and there are some who continue that practice. Speaking of keeping the Unions together..

Vulpes/Madrigal/???:We all know what causes the calamity. One branch betrays the others, and everyone turns on each other. Or, at least, that's what Vulpes is convinced of. So no one Union can have too much power.. And they all are better off getting along. But simply telling everyone to get along? The Light is the most powerful thing there is, and greed over that has already happened before-It's what caused The Fall in the first place! So they have other plans on bringing people together.

Some say that Luxu went off to discover a way to escape the calamity. We (and some fellow people who know of the Kingdom Hearts series) both [or at least will after reading this] that Luxu has a mysterious box, that nobody knows what's inside of. Is it a portal elsewhere? A way to bring back Gideon? A mysterious ring? And what exactly is he doing?

This really seems like it'd work as a story of its own. Perhaps even a roleplay if we get five people to join (Though I'm not sure how to run a roleplay of this story.) There's much more detail I can flesh out than can fit in just half of an arc.
