Welcome to the Omniverse! We're a roleplaying forum where you can choose to play as any character from any fictional world, or even a character of your own.

Before considering joining, please read the Rules pages. The Omniverse is an RPG comparable in depth to a Tabletop RPG like Dungeons and Dragons, but with little overlap with most other RPGs, so you'll want to spend some time absorbing the information. We don't mind answering questions, but most of what you need to know can be found in the rules. The rules pages also include important details about the setting.

The best way to get up to speed is to take a look at other joining forms, both the successful and unsuccessful ones.

Selecting a character
While you can choose to write about almost any subject matter on the Omniverse, bear in mind that it's built to feature combat and powers, and most groups will feature combat. Therefore, we advise against taking non-combat characters unless you plan to change them drastically from their source material (which is fine). Characters will start out relatively weak, and get stronger over time, making videogame and manga characters generally more suitable "out of the box" than comic book characters, but any character can be adjusted to fit. Original characters are also a great choice.

I've seen hundreds of characters join and get switched out, so let me give some advice on what tends to stick. The new, popular thing that came out in the last year won't be nearly as exciting in a year - ditch it. For your first character, pick something or someone you've always been a fan of, or else make an original character with powers you love (love Iron Man, but hate Tony Stark? Make a new character but give them their own Iron Man-like suit/powers). Have a character you loved on an RPG that sunk? Feel free to revive them here! Omni summons them to this new world as their old story putters out. Bam.

Just remember that whoever you pick, they'll be bound by the Omniverse's rules and physics. There are no exceptions. We have to build a balanced system, which means that some characters' powers simply won't fly as they exist in your own fiction. As an example, Wolverine(X-Men)'s regeneration power will be considerably weakened to match our version of Regeneration, and if your character transforms, they'll need to unlock and purchase Transformations (and they'll match those - Goku can't be multiplying his power by 50). Superman will just have to accept that he's lost most of his power.

We'll do our best to help you adapt them to our rules and setting, but for your first character, you might want to keep it simple. The more "out there" your character concept, the longer and more frustrating the approval process will be as a first-timer with little knowledge of the system. Ditch the gimmicky stuff like "my character is a symbiotic weapon that has to fuse with other characters in order to fight" unless you're confident you know what you're doing. Otherwise, your joining form is going to be an exercise in frustration for both of us. Certain gimmicks will be outright rejected (like "my character only fights by cooking") because while creativity is cool, making everything all about YOUR gimmick, and making other characters in a group/fight pander to your character's special snowflake-ness, is annoying, difficult to balance and unfair on the writers who have to deal with it.

Size Notes - Your character must not be taller or wider than twelve feet, nor may they be shorter or narrower than one foot. You may disregard these limits when using Transformations or certain powers (Growth, Shrink, Malleability), but your base form needs to be normal-ish.

People from real-life and religious figures are not allowed. Overly-cartoony and fourth wall-breaking characters that don't suit the setting such as Peter Griffin may not be allowed. Characters deemed too close to being a duplicate to another will not be allowed. For example, we'd allow an incarnation of 'Link' from 'The Legend of Zelda', and maybe a single 'Dark Link' as well, but not Links from other timelines or 'Shadow Link', even though we know they're technically different characters. Essentially, we don't want to see a million Links and Spider-Man clones.

Your character can't have been hanging around in the Omniverse for years - when you join, you'll need to write their introduction. Original characters are still summoned from another world, which can be an existing setting or your own creation.

Your character's account should be your character's name. Feel free to register another account for OOC posting (you can link this to your characters' accounts for easy switching through the forum), but this is optional. Once you've registered, make a new topic with the following form:

You can be as specific or unspecific as you like, though you should include where your current location is or where you want the story to take place. For example, you might say “give me a story anywhere” or “give me a story for five people in the Vasty Deeps” or “give me a mystery story in Camelot” or “give me a story for the Endless Dunes where I get to beat up robots”. A staffer might respond, or a regular member might. If you don’t like the story you’re given, you’re free to request another, just remember that nobody is obliged to come up with story ideas for you!
