I am not the Watcher; nor am I He-Who-Remained or his Variants. Who I am does not matter, but you can call me The Guide. Unlike either of those others, I do not believe direct interference and convergence is necessary - there needs not be a “Sacred Timeline” and only one Universe to keep things... stable. But I also find that I am incapable of doing absolutely nothing as the Multiverse forms, twists, and turns.
And that is why I choose to be the Guide.
I find lost souls - like you - and others that I think can be redeemed, that I think want to find ways to help or save others; and I gather them, guide them, toward Universes in desperate need of help. Of saving. Either because those who live there cannot save themselves... or those who could have already died, or suffered worse fates. Out there, in those vast realities, there are a multitude of threats. Some to just one Universe; others, to the fabric of the Multiverse itself, wanting naught but conquest.
I took you from your Universes at the time when you most likely would have died; to some, this might be considered a second chance. To others among you, this could be considered proof that Death is not the end. Regardless, knowing what I have now told you, will you let me act as your Guide? Or do you wish merely to find a new Universe to call home? That choice, I leave up to you - but if you do not join the others who accept my offer, please consider this: for the rest of your life, should you choose to find a new home, even in your old one, you might be left wondering something:
What If...?
Hello! And welcome to What If...? - an RP based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's series alongside my own original ideas. If you plan to RP here, please do note that since this is MCU based, only Variants of MCU characters will be accepted for the moment; that means we're generally keeping power levels in line with the low to high tier stuff seen within the MCU thus far. (Meaning that, while Kang does exist, he's background for now just 'cause we don't know much about him and he's an NPC besides. This also means the most powerful characters that exist are, at most, Universe-tier; e.g. Thanos with Infinity Stones, Supreme Strange from What If? the series itself, etc. - SUCH CHARACTERS ARE GOING TO, PREDOMINANTLY, BE NPCs UNLESS GRANTED EXPLICIT PERMISSION FROM MYSELF OR THE CO-OPS COLLECTIVELY/UNANIMOUSLY. Hell, most things of the Higher End of the MCU's tiers are likely to be restricted - barring certain circumstances or explicit permission.)
Anyways, yeah. Welcome to this RP. While you can technically play an OC, it'll be easier to keep track of stuff if you stick to Variants and just establish their background Universe - even if it's already one we know about from the MCU via the What If? series. Granted, I know having too many Variants of the same character is going to get confusing; so, to keep things easier for everyone involved, I am limiting things to only ONE Variant of ONE Character per ONE Player, for now. This may change in the future. Please read the rules and enjoy your stay.
