The Multiverse: A vast space filled with universes as distinct from each other as they are similar. Here, only one rule is observed. The various dots that litter the Multiverse must never come in contact with one another. However, something has stirred this primordial ocean and turned it into a raging tsunami the likes of which has never been seen before. Strange Rifts appear without rhyme or reason, breaking the only rule in the Multiverse. This is a bright opportunity for some, a nightmare for others. Only time will tell which of these interpretations will ring true.
Welcome to Voyage Through the Multiverse, a multiverse RP jointly run by Petrokovia,Apto,
Trapoletanius, Naval Monte, and The Palmetto! The RP will open with individual arcs created by each of the aforementioned Co-Ops. These arcs will then merge together over time in the hopes of discovering and solving the mysteries of the multiverse.
IC Thread
For access to the VTTM Discord, telegram one of the Co-OPs.
1. Co-OPs will run and moderate the RP equally, as they see fit.
2. No godmodding, powerplaying and/or metagaming.
3. As this is on NS, NationState's forum and site rules still apply here. This means posts must meet NS's guidelines.
4. While there is no character or faction limit, Co-OPs reserve the right to deny an application if they believe the player can't handle the amount of characters they currently have.
5. Characters should be balanced in their powers and weaknesses.
6. To join an arc, first ask permission from the Co-OP/Player managing your chosen arc.
7. Anyone can create arcs of their own, but non-Co-OPs should fill out the Arc Application to give a (spoiler-free) summary of their arc, so the Co-OPs may plan the RP ahead, if integration with the rest of the RP might be a concern.
8. While we do not expect everyone to post fifteen paragraph text-walls for each post, one-line posts are forbidden, and you must use proper English grammar, punctuation, etc. for your posts unless you're doing it differently for artistic style.
9. You must notify a Co-OP before updating or editing a character application, and have the edits reviewed and accepted. If a change is cosmetic and does not affect their power, however, you are free to edit it as you please.
10. Information in the applications must be as detailed and thorough as possible; Specifically, the powers & abilities of characters (as well as weaknesses) are not allowed to be vague unless the Co-Ops approve of it.
11. Keep OOC and IC separate; Do not put OOC into IC posts, and do not post in the IC thread until your character has been accepted by one of the Co-OPs.
12. For characters who have a separate Destructive Capacity than Attack Potency (i.e., if a character can knock out an opponent whose durability is City Level, but the character can only output Building Level amounts of destructive force*), Make a note under Attack Potency (use Petrokovia's app for Ty as an example).
13. All types of characters (canon, fanmande, and OC) are allowed.
14. Before making any apps or joining the Discord, you must post in the OOC thread, assuring the Co-OPs that you have read through the OP and rules, as there have been many issues with newcomers not reading the OP and either breaking/ignoring the rules, or asking questions that are already addressed here in the OP. If you do not do this, you will be directed to read this rule before any of your other issues or apps are addressed.

Taken from VS Battles Wiki:
"Destructive Capacity is the term used to determine the amount of damage a character can produce. It is normally the deciding factor of VS matches along with Speed. It is measured in units of energy.
Attack Potency is an alternative term for Destructive Capacity which has more direct meaning: The Destructive Capacity that an attack is equivalent to. A character with a certain degree of attack potency does not necessarily need to cause destructive feats on that level, but can cause damage to characters that can withstand such forces.
We are aware that this technically violates the principle of conservation of energy, as it should logically disperse upon impact, but fiction generally tends to ignore this fact, so we overlook it as well.
Also, kindly remember that Attack Potency is the measure of Destructive Capacity of an attack, and as such, is measured via its energy damage equivalent. Hence, characters that destroy mountains or islands are not automatically mountain or island level, especially if they are small. The Attack Potency depends upon the energy output of the attack, not the area of effect of the attack."
Likewise, not all characters who have an Attack Potency of say, Island Level, could actually destroy an island; It's quite possible for characters through various means to have a high Attack Potency, but not a high Destructive Capacity. A good example of this from VTTM is Gold & Ty (two of Petro's characters from Pokemon); Ty's Attack Potency in his base form is Island Level, but his actual Destructive Capacity, the amount of damage to objects that he can actually produce, is only Small Building Level with most of his stronger attacks.
A list of the ongoing arcs, and which characters are currently in each. Created and updated by Menschenfleisch.
Secrets of the Raven: A closed(?) arc all about a little town called Branwhrn. SotR was the first arc in VTTM, and is still chugging along. It's around 60-70% done, and it's run by Naval Monte, who has the final say on who can join the arc. The setting is filled with magic, anomalies, sci-fi, e.t.c. Think of it like a combination of every SCP canon with a huge dollop of cosmic horror and original fiction thrown in there for good measure. The arc is largely self contained and limited to the town, although we're currently winding down after a mountain-shattering battle between all the major characters and factions. The arc is mostly devoid of action and is all about investigation, socialization and day-to-day life in a world where peoples' screams are sold at anomalous greengrocers and people choose what gods to worship like they're choosing colleges to attend.
Dead Man's Party: The Shining. The arc is run by Torii, and it takes place inside a hotel outside of space and time. The arc is all about the characters and the "Seven Sins", or "hunters", who are masquerading as human guests in order to feed on everyone inside the hotel. The arc is largely centered around human interaction, mindgames and decision making. When there's action, it ends quickly and nastily. For the most part, powers and weapons don't exist. The sins are suppressing all of the characters' supernatural abilities. It's a very tense arc, and the stress of dealing with the Sins has already driven a couple of characters to the edge. If you're looking for interaction rather than spectacle, DMP is your go-to.
Scourge of my People: Run by Nagakawa. SomP is a political-tactical thriller steeped in dedication to detail and science fiction. It's one of the more realistic arcs - or rather - more internally consistent ones. Every action has a consequence, and every character has their own motivations, goals and skills. The story is set within an interdimensional empire's borders, and centers around various groups' attempts to seize power for themselves. Currently, all of the characters are assisting an engimatic contractor known as "Granny Jo" in assassinating one of the leaders of the empire. However, the arc is sure to get far more subtle and far more complex with time.
L-Fel: A small arc run by GetSnekt all about the characters' attempts to dismantle a corporation known as L-Fel Labs: half scientific institution, half terrorist cell. L-Fel Labs has been testing dangerous biological weapons and mutagens on civilians for a while and as a result, they've attracted the attention of several parties including the police, a doctor known as Jules and other groups/individuals. The arc is more laid back, and is ideal for people who don't want to be left behind when they're slow to post.
Shadows of the Empire: A massive sci-fi romp through the Star Wars universe. SotE is by far the most active arc, and the one with the most participants. SotE is essentially a sandbox: you can bring in anyone you want, join any faction you desire, and just generally do anything within reason. There are several substories contained with in SotE, but they all tie into the arc's primary conflict: the battle between The New Republic and the First Order. The Star Wars universe is being flooded with factions from other universes, all of whom are either there to fight their rivals, or take something for themselves from the Star Wars universe. The arc is run by Naval Monte.
