Uni-verse Prime
Whee!  I just read Undocumented features and it was great!  I
also had an idea while reading that for a universe for more
people to play in.  While I am sure that this universe will never
ever get to be as large and complex as UF, I do want to do my
best.

An UF fan! YESSS!!

     If you want to join this universe (I _hope_ you will<looks
vainly for people being interested>) I have a couple of rules for
your initial characters.

Here's lookin' at you, kid.

          1.  When you make a "good" character, you also have to
make a "foil" character (both ways, regardless, for good being
the eye of the beholder (good is evil, and evil is good.  There
confused yet?:)) where the "evil" character will have as many(or
more) powers that your main character.

Okaayy... but what does this RPG (loosely calling it) based on? Modern
world? Medieval times? Futuristic? Or a mix of the three?

All of the above.

          2.  If you are teleporting a character in from another
universe (that includes self-insertion) said character will
receive ONE benefit and TWO liabilities. (benefit being certain
powers, magic, psionics, etc. (each one is seperate), and
liabilities being curses, falling madly in love with someone that
hates their guts, Nabiki chasing them for money(don't hit me,
Nabiki!!!), etc.)

Must the liabilities be so... anime-like? How about "distrust of
technology" or "dislike magics"?

Anything is acceptable.

          3.  If teleproting in your "foil" from another
universe, said character will receive TWO benefits and ONE
liability.  (I know that this is unfair, but the main characters
will be getting most of the spotlight, no?  I hope that
all the main characters will find each other, anyway, for there
is strength in numbers, no?)

Okay... next...

          4.  You can have up to five "background" characters
under your control, but where they will be assigned is based upon
the roll of a die. (literally, I'm a D&D freak, so I have the
dice to prove it.)  I hope to have at least five people join in
on this, to make it more fun.

Five background characters.... hmmm? What does this mean? All good guys,
all baddies or a mixed group?

Any of them...it's your choice.

          5.  No characters can be omnipotent, and by that I mean
like "Q" from Star trek, Twister from twisted path, etc.  Also no
"instant-kill" powers, and especially no author-powers (by that I
mean killing off the bad guy by writing him out of existance) for
that lessens the fun, as well.

Okay, next...

     You will be able to choose where your main character will
appear, and on which world.  Also, "foil" characters need not
necessarily be foils for your main character, but can be a foil
for someone else's character(you ABSOLUTELY _NEED_ that person's
permission to do that, first, though)

VERY INTERESTING...

<giggles>I thought so, too.

     Oh, and one final thing.  The reason that this is called
"Uni-verse Prime" is because you MUST be able to sum up your main
character in one fourteen syllable verse.  The reason for that
being that I would like to be able to line the characters up in
poem-style (free verse) for the Uni-verse intro.

Nani... a verse!? Oh boy... You're seriously limiting the number of
people for this project...

I forgot to say that if someone wants help with the verse, I'll 
gladly lend my assistance.

I can do some prose like in my DBZ 'fics, but a poem... hmmm...

That's fine...
