Introduction You don’t really know what happened, everything that seemed to occur is a blur. You don’t even know how long you were out. But when you woke up, you were in some sort of facility you didn’t recognize, with an odd feeling that you did not belong.
You had woken up in a small room, in what seemed to resemble a hospital. Almost immediately upon waking up, someone came in, noticed you were awake, and decided to bring you here, which was a large auditorium. Natural light seeped in through a skylight as you and several others looked towards a stage, awaiting someone or something to give you a clue on what was going on.
A short furry creature, resembling a fennec fox, entered the stage. She jumped onto a stool to reach the mike placed in front of it, cleared her throat, and begin to speak.
“Would you believe me if I told you that you were in another dimension?”
She paused, before continuing on. “When I say that, I don’t mean that we brought you here. You simply… appeared on our world, and we had brought you to this facility. What this facility is designed to do and where it is located is irrelevant. But you are here because you happened upon here, and we were unable to identify why. And yes, you do not belong here.”
“Luckily, however, you were able to stumble upon a world which has researched inter-dimensional travel. This facility alone has several ships used for research involving the multiverse. All of you have been assigned to one such ship. Your goal? To find others like you who were not lucky enough to appear here, to find out what phenomenon brought you here, and to return every one of you home.”
The creature had paused again, seemingly unsure of herself. After a moment, she had decided to continue on. “My name is Anouk, and I, reluctantly, had been assigned to be the leader of this crew." This roleplay is best described as a Multiverse exploration roleplay. The setting is constantly changing as characters move from one world to another. This roleplay is based off of the idea that everything, such as our world and other fictional worlds, exists in a multiverse, as well as the idea that alternative realities of these worlds exist, which tend to have distinct differences about them, whether they are minor or major. Characters who have been displaced from their own world seem to be unable to go back to them for one reason or another, and their worlds have either disappeared from existence, or they seemed to have been replaced with someone exactly like them.
All characters are welcome, whether they are canon or your original creation. Alternate versions of such characters are also allowed, as long as their differences are significant. (In other words, don’t have an alternate character for the sole purpose of being able to roleplay a character who is already taken.)
Rules - Follow the forum rules. No way around this one. The forum rules must be followed at all times during the roleplay.
- Please come on at least once per week. Activity is very important. It's understandable if one needs to go on leave for a little while, or has lost their muse, but please try to communicate this to other roleplayers if you need to take a break for a long amount of time. Characters would be removed if their roleplayer is gone for a month or longer without notice.
- Please try to write a few lines per post. I'm not going to be really strict on this one, I don't really care about how advanced everyone is at roleplaying. But, for the most part, avoid one-liners. They tend to be difficult for other roleplayers to respond to.
- No god-modding or powerplaying. Please be fair when roleplaying with other characters, which includes not being overly powerful or roleplaying other people's characters. This kind of thing isn't fun for the person on the receiving end.
- No spotlighting. Characters are allowed to have the spotlight from time to time, but please do not make the entire roleplay about your character.
- Please include other roleplayers. Do not ignore other roleplayers who are trying to jump into the roleplay. If there's a problem with them trying to jump in at that specific time, please let them know OOC and be willing to offer alternatives so they can get into the roleplay.
- Don't do anything drastic to another person's character without said person's permission. This involves serious injuries and killing said person's character.
- Keep everything appropriate. Don't go overly gorey. Romance is allowed, but skip scenes if need be.
- Be nice to other roleplayers out of roleplay. Please don't start any drama or anything of the sort. It's not fun for anyone when stuff like that happens.
- LGBT+ characters are welcome.
- Feel free to ask questions if anything about this roleplay is unclear. I don't bite. Promise.

Current Dimension - Everyone has woken up in an odd facility, designed for scientific research, especially research on the multiverse itself. It is large enough to house the researchers there as well as the new crew of the Starlight, yet it is not much bigger than that. If anyone was to leave the facility, they would find themselves in a small town, placed in the middle of the forest. Much else about this world remains unknown, and characters are not allowed to travel away from this forest town. Anouk originates from this dimension. News - Drifting Possibilities was created! Previous Dimensions - None yet. Dimensional Travel There are two distant methods of traveling to other dimensions-
Direct Connection – Two dimensions can be directly connected to each other, through a portal or other means. However, this only allow the traveler to go to nearby dimensions, and does not allow travel across the multiverse itself.
Through the Dimensional Void – The dimensional void is best described as a “dimension in between dimensions”. It is a large dimension itself, which is, for the most part, artificially created - several generators are scattered across dimensions in order to create the dimensional void. Despite its artificial creation, however, the dimensional void ends up serving a very natural role in the multiverse. Dimensions which collapse often fall into the dimensional void, and as such there is a great deal of debris floating around, ranging from small items, to floating islands and buildings. The laws of physics do not apply to the dimensional void, and people who find themselves out in the dimensional void gravitate to the largest piece of debris they are closest to, although this gravity is very weak and can easily be escaped from by jumping away from it and onto another sustainable piece of debris. Time itself arguably does not exist in the dimensional void as well, and debris floating about in the dimensional void does not decay, although it can, under the right circumstances, fall into other dimensions.
What is special about the dimensional void as a means of transportation is that anyone can directly connect to the dimensional void, if they, at the very least, know its existence, although it is very possible to accidentally happen across it. Likewise, anyone in the dimensional void can directly connect to other dimensions, as long as they are nearby, considering it is very large and spans almost the entire multiverse. The dimensional void ends up being an effective way to travel throughout the multiverse.
In theory, anyone can establish a direct connection using raw power, although this is often exhausting to whoever is establishing the connection. The establisher often falls unconscious, can easily fall into a coma, and death is also possible. Inter-dimensional ships designed to establish these direct connections are used instead, and such ships can also easily travel through the dimensional void as well as whatever dimension they enter. The Ship The ship, referred to as the Starlight, is a large ship, light blue in color. It is around three stories tall, and designed for long-term dimensional travel, as well as to support a large crew. Its primary function is aimed for research, although it is equipped for several other things as well, such as chasing after inter-dimensional criminals. Its hallways and room tend to give a very futuristic vibe.
There is a large glass dome on the top story, which is where the command centers of the ship are, as well as a general meeting room.
The second story is where most enter and exit the ship, although there are doors out on the first story that remain unused and locked unless they are necessary. Near the entrance of the ship is the hospital wing as well as a lab. Closer to the back is the cafeteria as well as the dormitory.
The first story serves mostly for storage. There are also a few cells near the back of the ship which are to be used if need be. There is a library at the front of the ship. Ranks These are the current ranks on the ship. Feel free to suggest anymore if you feel like something is missing. Second in command as well as Head Doctors/Scientists/etc. are possible if the roleplay gets enough people to join, but would most likely be decided within the roleplay.
- Head of Command - The leader of this ship's crew, the Head of Command is tasked with leading the crew and ensuring everyone stays on task.
- Medics/Doctors - These are the healers of the ship. They are in charge of managing the ship's hospital wing.
- Scientists - The researchers of the ship, they are tasked with trying to find out how each dimension works as well as the multiverse as a whole. Specifically, these are the people who are using research and the scientific method to figure out what is going on and why everyone was sent here, as well as managing the equipment in the laboratory.
- Fighters - These are the people tasked with defending the ship, as well as defending any groups which venture out from the ship and onto foreign worlds.
- Unassigned - These are the people who do not readily fit into any of the current ranks or simply have yet to be assigned. They don't have any specific tasks around the ship, but are expected to do minor tasks in order to help the crew itself.

Head of Command Anouk | Female | Alopex (Fennec Fox-like species) | Head of Command | OC | Pow Pow Anouk is a small, fennec-fox like creature, who stands at around 2'6". She has light brown fur and brown eyes. Anouk's species is characterized by long, fox-like ears, as well as a tail which is used for balance. She wears a small, blue jacket as well as a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts. (At some point I'll upload a picture of her.). Anouk tends to come across as cold and short-tempered. However, she does care about others, also she doesn't seem to show it often. She is very stubborn when it comes to certain things, and doesn't give up easily. Anouk is a biologist, and enjoys her work, as well as enjoys discussing biology. She has some misgivings about being assigned as the leader of the Starlight crew, and would be rather practicing biology. While she would not ever choose a position of leadership herself, she is not afraid to take one up if need be. Anouk has some fire abilities, although she seems to only be capable of creating fireballs and throwing them at targets, as well as is resistant to fire and heat. Anouk had spent her life studying biology, and is very interested in concepts such as genetics, evolution, and overall how the species on her world functions. Medics/Doctors Windsor | Male | Skydancer | Healer | Flight Rising | Lark A pale white dragon with a silky, smooth pelt and hair that starts from head to toe. He has green eyes, shining iridescent pelt and wings, and a sense of style. He wears a white sweater, a navy aviator jacket, and black pants which he was inspired to wear by the commander's outfit. He has a lither build and taller than his ship mates. | Windsor is anxious and kind, terrible at romance. | Windsor was hatchling raised with his own family until he got lost. It was normal for dragons of his own species and element to travel and explore the world yet at the young age he had begun his journey he was unprepared. It wasn't too long until he could support himself and face dangers like beastclans and rouges lingering in the same territory he was in.| He can heal others with what he calls mana, it takes sometime to get enough but his species is more connected to magic therefore its easier for him to get a constant supply of mana. He can also use mana to manipulate the wind around him. He also has his painted protobeast which he managed to create through alchemy, he can store his magic inside the creature. Scientists Kip Fredrickson | Male | Angel | Scientist | OC | tardisflame459 Kip is a tall and fairly muscular blonde standing at 6' 3". Being an angel he has a beautiful appearance and white wings with brown tips. He wears a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and a white lab coat.

Her eyes are dark blue and she has a bucked teeth and seems to always be blushing. She has her hair tied back in a ponytail and it usualy looks like she wears a bow with it, but that bow is actually one of her moths - Atty. She typically wears blue overalls and an off white shirt that goes to her elbows. Odette is an energetic and passionate young woman who cares a lot about what she does and those she feels she's close to. She has an abrasive side that only shows in battle and when her babies - AKA her moths - are being threatened. She has little to no concept of personal space and is a touchy-feely kind of girl who is as charismatic as she is smart. She calls herself an entomologist, though confesses she didnt' go to school for the title. She was raised by famous scientists though and had access to pretty much everything she would have needed. She has a huge moth with her - and she says that the big guy is still growing. As of right now, it's roughly the size of a horse - big enough for her to ride, which she often does. It looks strikingly similar to a Comet Moth. Vicky | Female | Nocturne | Scientist | Flight Rising | Lark Vicky is a storm blue-purple with butterfly patterned wings, stripe patterned scales, and a shiny underbelly. She has pink eyes, A white lab coat with black buttons that goes over a black and gray sweater that has a white skull on it, and a pair of white googles with purple lenses.| She is a procrastinator but an excellent scientist by a scholarly standard within her clan. She is mainly bored of the world around her and tends to invent creations to keep herself busy. | She can use spells like making ice cubes float in mid-air even to stopping one's movement temporarily, from minutes to hours based on the amount of mana she plans to use. Some spells she can not do is elemental spells or anything that is too powerful. | She also has a hippogriff familiar that she raised. Fighters Echo | Female | Water Dragon | Fighter | Skylanders | Lark Echo is a turquoise dragon who has tiny little dark blue specks on her body. She has a yellow sclera with an orange iris, and a black pupil. Her hide resembles that of a seahorse's possibly due to her environment and she has sharp black claws. She also wears a black necklace around her neck and two black bracelets on her front legs. | Echo can be described as seeming to be reserved but she can be feisty when the time comes for battle.She can be rather noisy, not liking to do things quietly as she is a music lover herself. | She once lived inside an underwater kingdom were many underwater dragons lived by a huge oyster. Within the oyster was a magical pearl that was able to answer anyone's questions. One day a few troublesome seahorses stole it yet Echo came to the rescue saving the pearl in the nick of time. Once word spread she was recruited by one of the more experienced skylanders known as Grill Grunt taking her in as his apprentice.| Echo uses her voice as a dangerous weapon and uses bubbles as well. She can combine both attacks proving to be a challenging foe. Azu | Male | Tenant | Fighter | The Community OC | Lark Azu can be able to control a pair of white feathery wings that he can make appear and disappear as he pleases but prefers not to use them unless necessary. He can also create a shield and spear from his spurs or create a glowing light. Not to mention he has some inhuman strength. | Azu is a dog-like creature, his main pelt color is white, his arms and legs are marked with dark blue and variations of blue. He has an azurite stone on his fluffy gray neck. His eyes are light blue, his paws are white, and behind his paws are sharp blue spurs that help him when he has to fight or hold his ground in difficult areas when exploring. He also has a human form, where he has tanned skin with dark freckles. He has blue eyes, curly brown hair, and stands at 5'4. He wears a blue hoodie, gray skinny jeans, and blue tennis shoes. He still wears his Azurite necklace which is able to signify he's still himself but in a disguised form.|| Azu is a slightly gloomy fellow but its due to the strain his abilities have on him. If he is able to he can easily sympathize with another and attempts to give a portion of his own intuition, trying to help the individual. If he becomes happy then he opens up his own feelings and shares a measly pun. If he gets angered he'll give a glare or he'll start annoying that individual on purpose. || He was raised with his siblings who were treated fairly well and soon became a fearsome trio that fought evil. That is for petty crimes and minor problems like a missing receipt or the usual thief. Soon they joined a local organization where they became an official team set to solve the worlds problems. Due to the trio being, well, a trio they were limited to the smart one, the strong one, and the extra. Azu ended up being the extra as his brother ended up being the smart one and his sister ended up being the muscle of the three. He was good at playing both parts if one called in sick making him a jack of all trades. Unassigned Carmen Grace Meade | Female | Mutant | Currently unassigned | MCU OC | -M- / Ginger Carmen is a rather... unique individual. She is 5'9" and weighs about 112 pounds. Car has brunette hair that goes to just below her hips and round brown eyes. She has the ability of omni-linguism, which is the ability to understand any form of language. Along with that, she has empathy, the ability to read or sense the emotions and/or control the emotions or feelings of others. Carmen is a bit mixed up on the inside. She is typically seen as sassy, sarcastic, and possibly a bit rude at times. However, if you piss her off, dear god, you better run, as she has quite the temper. Due to her relationship and history with her family, she doesn't really trust others easily. Normally, you can find Carmen wearing a pair of black leggings, combat boots, and a grey hoodie. She is an original character. Paul "Jesus" Rovia | Male | Human | Unassigned | The Walking Dead | Lark Jesus wears a gray beanie, a dark grey jacket, a suspected blue vest under his jacket along with a white long sleeved shirt, two belts that cross like an x, black jeans, dark brown boots, and a pair of leather gloves. If he is not on missions he can be seen wearing a white button up shirt, blue jeans, and the same dark brown boots. He had long brown hair, blue eyes, and slightly tanned skin. He stands to be around 5'7, a bit tall and thin. | Smart, friendly, and charming with a puckish sense of humor is basically his personality. He tends to be a diplomat and good with words in tough situations. He is a bright fellow who makes friends with most of those he meets and there is an emphasis on most people. | As a regular human he does not have any magical or extraordinary abilities. What he does have is a talent for stealing and pick pocketing. Other abilities he has is being able to escape from places or out of traps. | Growing up as a kid he was an orphan living in a shared housing. Not much is known about what he actually did before the outbreak, other than minor inferences of how he became skilled or what he did before becoming a supply runner and recruiter for Hilltop. What is known about Jesus is how he traveled to Hilltop and became accepted as another resident in the community.

Anouk jumped down from the stool, and sighed. That seemed like most of them, but would there be more? She disliked how somehow she ended up at the head of this operation, but she guessed it was because they had no one else. Nonetheless, the fennec fox-like creature made her way towards the crowd. She decided to observe them curiously as she made her way over. So this was her crew now. Should be fun.

Kip sat doodling on a notebook he kept with him. He was drawing designs for a device that would let him catalog dimensions. This wasn't for the benefit of the crew but for personal reasons. He watched as the head of command walked through the crowd.

Carmen sat there watching Kip doodle afterwards. She peered over at his notebook from where she sat, relatively near him. "What are ya drawing that for?" She asked, looking up at him.

Kip looked up at Carmen giving her a soft smile. "It is a prototype for a device that would allow me to catalog and differentiate between dimensions." He turned his body to face her, knowing she would have more questions.

Anyways, I re-purposed the planning page into the discussion page, and the link is in the first post. And feel free to bring in whoever! And you can start wherever. Right after the introduction, when they first get to the ship, etc. I don't really know what the first mission would be yet, however.)
