Official IJ: Beyond Summary
(Will be updated every month or so. Maybe two. Maybe three. Actually, I'll just say that I'll update it after every major arc. Note, this summary focuses only on major arcs. Char arcs, along with AUs are not being included.)

So, the IC begins in East City, where our characters converge. Two aggressive Saiyans arrived on Earth, and caused some destruction. Then, things went offworld, in what we call the Namek arc, where the characters (some of them at least) looked for the Dragon Balls or something like that. No need to worry about Namek, our first arc wasn't very major. The next semi-major arc took place in Gotham, called the Long Night. There's my char(Elena Galadera) became Batgirl. This went on for quite a while, and not all of our chars participated, but Batman was missing and most of the new characters at the time headed there. Eventually, Gotham was swapped with chars.

The next arc was the incursions and the subsequent Secret Wars. In the incursions, other Earths from alternate universes were colliding with the IJ:B Earth. The first incursion was actually with the IJ1 Earth, allowing chars who had been in IJ1 to bring back their chars. The chars eventually discovered that the universe was ending due to a race called the Beyonders who had slain all of the cosmic and even multiversal beings. In order to survive, chars built an ark capable of withstanding the end of the universe, and when they awoke, it was on an entirely new world, Battleworld, a conglomeration of all the multiverses held together by the sheer will of Dr. Doom. Our chars investigated this new world, and soon confronted Doom, convincing him to remake everything as it was. As for rather major char developments, Valka(Star) became All-Mother of Asgard after Odin's death before the universe collapsed, and has been All-Mother and Queen of Asgard ever since.

Sometime after Secret Wars, the first RPer team was created: The Justice Queens(JQ). The Justice Queens are a group of female superheroes based in New York City. Its current members are Katie(Charm), Cora(Tomia), Valancy(Star), Kylie(Temp), Ruby(Mav) and Naja(Atria). A potential new member is Del(Silh). Honorary male members are Roy(Tomia) and Xander(Atria). Another team was also formed soon after the Justice Queens, called the Young Bloods(YB), based in Jump City. Its current members are Mars and Rocket(Tomia), Rin(Sili), Xyri(Charm), Vera(Illica), Kiris(Zark) and Elena(Star).

The next major arc was Civil War, initiated in part by the torture of Craig(Star), the U.S gov't trying to get him to build weapons that could kill supers. He escaped, told the world, and CW pretty much started. Then, when it was time for a change, the CW was basically frozen because of a new threat, the Builders, who threatened to destroy the universe. So a few of our chars went up to space along with the rest of the Avengers and a few JL members and basically had an epic time, and those who went up to space generally established themselves as saviors of the universe and among the most powerful members of the RP, including, Manifest(Silh), Hadri(Zark), Valka and Craig(Star), Xander and Naja(Atria) and Simon(Lavan).

After the Builder War, a new war immediately ensued, its first battle taking place on Asgard. The antagonists were the Xyrixima(Charm) a race of slime-beings that can absorb pretty much anything, leading to most being the size of planets. The Xyrixima were 'defeated' (more like temporarily set back) by Zaki(Charm), Valka(Star), Manifest(Silh), Katie(Charm), Cora(Tomia), Eternal Night(Zark), Otis(Atria), and also a few others whom I can't remember at the moment. The Slime War will continue at a later time.

And our most current major arc is the New God arc. Otis, an Inhuman speedster, managed to kill Darkseid with Mjolnir, lots of luck, and the Justice League. The death of Darkseid released all of his godly energy into the universe, creating many New Gods. Now, the New Gods, and the other heroes of IJ:B assembled to face Yuga Khan, the father of Darkseid who seeks the Omega Effect from Otis, being far more powerful than his son. After getting beat up by Khan for awhile, Xander gained access to the Starbrand(infinite cosmic power) and divided it among the heroes in attendance, and the tables quickly turned, Khan being thrown onto Apokoplis and was brutally beat up to the point of death.

Talk of the Superhuman Registration Act began anew, with Lex Luthor giving a fiery speech to the UN, a speech in which there were no cameras allowed in. However, Superman barged in and threatened Luthor, the businessman being quick to realize a edited clip of Superman holding Lex threateningly. This is coupled with Valancy(Star) and Storm's humanitarian actions across Africa, which has China worried, along with the fall of the Ultra Corps(leading nations to develop their own superpowered teams) and the mass exodus of superhumans to Madworld(North Atlantic island ruled by Max, Neros). Finally, Xander takes over North Korea on account of their numerous human rights abuses.

With a combination of these factors, the SHRA is swiftly passed. Public sentiment against the anti-registration contingent grows after Donna(Osnil) shoots the President of the U.S, declaring her opposition to Registration. Meanwhile, Tony Stark unsuccessfully attempts to arrest the Knight(CIS).

The lines are being drawn and war will almost certainly ensue....
