..And, of course, I'll probably still make the story that's leading up to the roleplay. It just won't be published until the roleplay reaches a certain state.

Speaking of which, I've made what might just become the intro to the roleplay. Here's what I've got so far.

(This roleplay takes place in what will later be Arc III of The Multiverse Chronicles. Though I'm setting the intro up so that you don't have to read it to enjoy the roleplay.)

''Long ago, the world was bathed in light. Everyone loved the light, and it created many new worlds, filled with yet more light.''

''But then, people fought over it, wanting to use it their way. And darkness was born in their hearts.''

The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts, creating monsters of darkness.

Thus came the Five Unions, each fighting against the Darkness in their own way.

''This is where you come along. It's your job to fight the incoming Darkness.''

(That's right! You're here to fight against the Darkness that has plagued the world!)

(For an idea of how the roleplay will work, remember this. You wield a powerful weapon known as the Keyblade. This Keyblade, with the power of Light, can be used to fight the Darkness, and protect the Light. It's essentially the way to use magic. You also get to choose one of five unions, each with their own extra purpose, on top of fighting the Darkness directly.)

--A List of the Five Unions--

Unicornus:The Unicornus are the explorers! Setting out to discover the unknown worlds, searching for other sources of Light.. And, of course, the Darkness there too (to vanquish.)

Leapordus:These are your scientists. Perhaps they wish to find out the laws of the world, or the mechanics of just how Darkness actually spreads. (or even what Darkness is!) Engineering better Keyblades is another thing they might wish to do.

Ursus:If Leadpordus was more about mechanics and the laws of nature, than Ursus is moreso about the theory of information, and psychology. One of the things they might try to do is find out who has been tainted by darkness. Another might be to rule over smaller civilizations.

Vulpes:These tend to be more about making sure that all Unions are in balance. After all, an imbalance might lead to greed, and a desire for yet more power.. Which leads to darkness.

Anguis:These are the more.. artistic type. Seeing how worlds were made prior to the rise of darkness, and the principle that worlds are information, they tend to, through stories, form worlds of their own. They've also tended to try and make sure everyone gets along. They all have the same goal, after all, even if their methods are different.


 * Information|

For those of you who haven't read The Multiverse Chronicles (or have but still don't get the story)..

At this point in time, all worlds are actually connected, part of a greater world. In fact, one could simply walk from one world to another if they traveled far enough. (Though it'd take a really long time-So in practice, portals are used.)

There's a powerful, magical force known as "The Light". Its radiation brings forth good creation-All worlds came from it. Contrary to that, is, of course, darkness, the absense of Light. Darkness is, of course, the thing you must stop.

Info on the five Unions are above. Just remember, whichever Union you choose, you share the same goal (But not the same path-That's only with your OWN union!)

Everyone has what we call a "heart". If you're not sure what that is, know that it's very similar to a "SOUL" in Undertale. It's where your feelings COME from, and it has both light and darkness within. (They used to all have only light, but then the Fall happened..)

Recall that darkness formed when people got greedy over the Light. Anyone, if they stray too far from what is right, may also fall into darkness. They might become the very thing they seeked to destroy...

But hopefully that shouldn't happen. You know what's best, right?

...Right?


 * Rules|

Well, might as well explain how this works. You make a character (or perhaps another version of an already existing character), and pick a Union for them!

After you join, you'll meet the leader of your Union, who will explain what your purpose is in more detail. As stated earlier, you'll have two goals-Though you can focus more on just fighting the Darkness, or just following your Union's goal if you wish. Don't worry, unless you REALLY go out of your way to break things, they won't break. (And it's hard to do that even if you DO try to break things!)

Each of your characters will gain a Keyblade, which they can use to fight the Darkness. Technically, though, it's a weapon period. Better make sure that what you're fighting is actually Darkness.

In case you're wondering, when your darkness:light ratio reaches a certain threshold, THAT'S when you get turned into one of Darkness. But unless you're TRYING to do this, or really don't know what you're doing, you should be fine. (Just remember what I've told you.)

And remember:May your heart be your guiding key.

How's that? I might have to tinker with a few things.

Yes, it's possible to fall into Darkness. You should have a pretty good idea where I'm headed with this if you know enough about both the Fosiverse and Kingdom Hearts.

The "Darkness" will be revealed to take the form of Heartless. In fact, this is one of the first things that will happen in the entire roleplay (and everyone who suspects Kingdom Hearts is the inspiration would predict that nearly instantly just by reading the intro.)

The idea here is that I'm giving the roleplayers things to do in the roleplay. I'll probably add in plans for a few Heartless invasions in other worlds for them to fight-And the war between Light and Darkness is a big thing. I'll probably have some way of detailing how it's going.

As I said, though, I'm still fine-tuning things. I both want to keep the fact that the Unions are based around these different ways of fighting Darkness/spreading Light, while also trying to make the mechanics possible to roleplay.
