    Default Reincarnation Syndrome (OOC)

    Behold, an OOC thread! Good to see you everyone!

    Most of our OOC chatter is probably going to be in Discord, but I need a place to refer to the character reference sheets more easily and the recruitment thread doesn't keep them in the long term. Also I can't have Discord on my phone, but I can occasionally look in here and let you know if I'm going to be missing for more than a day or two.

    For your first post here, post your sheet so I can refer to it!

    I'll be making the first IC post soonish - probably tomorrow. When we open, you will be waking up on a cruise ship which you all boarded for some reason, so maybe take the time to think of why you're there? It's a huge, experimental vessel, with a lot of gig workers in its crew, crossing the pacific, making several stops at islands and platforms, with some high-profile politicians aboard, so practically any reason will do. You may or may not have had Reincarnation Syndrome for a while already, but this will be the first time your powers come into full bloom.

    Edit: The IC thread is already in full swing, obviously

    Well two possibilities:
    1. The mysterious portals that kept appearing and dissappearing.
    2. Rumors say that the time sorceress Ultimecia might be responsible for this world fusion as she attempted her time compresion spell yet again but partly suceeded.

He takes little interest in the government of other areas, as long as they don't attack him or his (his including refugees that travel into the forest). His trees thought, keep watch and drink of the rich mana in the plane.

    Through his roots Vast has reached some other worlds, and likes to take presence into other worldly forests, and bring back plants and creatures from there. This has led Zendikar's forest to be akin to the Feywild of D&D or Ghyran of Age of Sigmar. Under it a tangle of caves that could be the Underdark.

    Bala Ged is mostly populated by treefolk, dryads, elves, humans and a smattering of other races. Most of the treefolk are direct splinters of Vast's soul, they grow from a small seedling that Vast merges with a part of it's soul, into a humanoid walking tree, when a treefolk grows old and yearns for rest they grow roots and Vast's soul splinter is pulled back into Vast, leaving the tree with a subdued conscience. Vast's dryads are artificial souls created for the aggregate soul shavings and residue from those that died under Vast's shade. They are bonded to specialist trees under Vast's network, and manage more specific tasks, like a dryad managing a training tree, or a hotel, or a lab. The other races have several advantages of growing under Vast's shades and protection, they can use some of Vast's familiars (minor tree spirits), and can use Vast's training programs and regimes, the luckiest ones can eat some of Vast's fruits.

    If Vast's roots that connect the different worlds are the biggest advantage that the tree brings to outsiders the fruits are the most seeked boon by Vast's followers. As a spirit tree Vast can collect bits and pieces of the souls of those that die under his shade, he can coalesce those pieces into artifical souls like his dryads, or he can grow a fruit containing the aggregate experience and knowledge of those soul splinter's. Those who eat the fruits can grow in power and skill.

    ---

    If someone would like Yggdrasil Vast connect their player worlds and stuff, happy to help.

    Character

    Name: Kate Schaeffer

    Appearance: Kate looks like a mix of her own and her RC's appearances. She's in her early twenties, has Konoko's purple hair, wavy like Artisia's, Ruby's complexion and silver eyes, that glow bright pink-purple when supercharged or activating her power (like Konoko's). Like Artisia, she has circuitry running under her skin. She can pass for a regular human with some makeup, but doesn't usually bother to.

    Concept: Quirky, nerdy and artsy kid with a very productive imagination, who grew up with "imaginary friends". Her RCs manifest themselves in her mind mostly through vivid dreams and visions, they're not coherent personalities. Graphic designer and webcomic artist.

    - RC1: Ann Never/Artisia (Nathan Never)
    - Vibe: very powerful telepath with childhood trauma, grew up to become interstellar guerrilla fighter against human/machine hybrids (explicitly inspired by the Borg). After being turned into a hybrid herself and after her father shut off their hive mind, she went on to become a successful politician and mended the divide between the hybrids and vanilla humans. Thoughtful, patient and empathetic.
    - Power: Telepathy, telekinesis, precognition. In one occasion, she was shown harnessing the power of her body's machines to sprout wings and wire-tentacles.

    - RC2: Ruby Rose (RWBY)
    - Vibe: Teenage monster hunter. Very quick, predominantly melee fighter. Determined and optimistic leader.
    - Power: super fast, semi-incorporeal dashing. Can destroy monsters with energy blasts, but has little to no control on it. Proficient fighter. Carries a convertible scythe/sniper rifle, which despite being iconic Kate has no access to.

    - RC3: Mai Hasegawa/Konoko (Oni)
    - Vibe: cyberpunk rogue supercop, foiled a worldwide conspiracy and toppled a huge criminal syndacate.
    - Power: super strength and resilience thanks to being host to an artificial organ. Highly skilled hand to hand fighter, investigative training. Implied in-game that the organ could eventually turn her into a mutant monster.
    I apologize for any grammar mistake, English is not my first language.

    Name: Alicia Matella


    Appearance: A 24 year old fair skinned woman with a full figure and long black hair.
    Concept: A girl who was always pretty ordinary. Maybe smarter than most, but she could never channel it into anything productive because she was frustrated with her limitations. She's just come to accept them when her past lives merge with her.

    RC1: Voldemort (Harry Potter)
    Vibe: Evil Wizard.
    Powers: Magic, so a bit of everything really. Most frequently uses the killing curse and cruciatus curse. Is also capable of summoning Fiendfyre, a seemingly sentient flame that burns even magic resistant objects. Create Inferi(basically zombies) Many other spells. Also speaks parseltongue, meaning he can talk to snakes. Legilimensy, essentially mind reading.

    RC2: Orochimaru (Naruto)
    Vibe: Transhumanist Shinobi
    Powers: can "shed his skin" to heal wounds, transform into a giant 8 headed, 8 tailed snake. Has an immortal body. Has Kusanagi, a sword that can be controlled telekinetically, which he stores inside his stomach. Impure world resurrection allows him to resurrect someone with all their abilities under his control, but requires more preparation than the other two's zombie making abilities. A variety of other Ninja-esque techniques, one of his goals was to Master every "jutsu" there is.

    RC3: Mannimarco (Elder Scrolls)
    Vibe: God of Necromancy
    Powers: can soul trap mortals, reanimate corpses as zombies, and other necromancer stuff. *Shrugs* He's also the Necromancer's moon which orbits, and on one day each week eclipses Arkay, allowing mortal necromancers to craft black soul gems.

    Default Re: Reincarnation Syndrome (Sheet Pile)

    Name: Justine "Din" G. Scarlet

    Appearance: A fairly fit yet slim girl in her twenties or so possessing bright red hair and eyes. Sometimes one could smell blood and ash around her despite no signs of burn marks or wounds being visible.

    Alternate Interpretation: Red Blood Cell from Hataraku Saibou

    Concept:
    • Justine is a rather emotional individual, seeing fragments of her memories, incomplete as they were but slowly piecing them together. But generally is a nice person aside from the messy dumps of memory she has. But it doesn't mean that she does not possess all the capabilities of her past lives. She also possesses a bloodthirsty side of her coming from her life as Kotori but is subdued by Gebura's temper and lessons.
    • Justine for the most part is a normal girl doing part time jobs every now and then to keep herself financially stable, but wasn't always been one as she was living the good old days as a delinquent, picking and usually winning most fights she gets herself in.



    RC1: Kali/Gebura from LC/LoR
    • Vibe: Gebura is the classic tough girl, if taken to the extreme as she was forced to kill to survive in the hellscape of The City. While normally angry, experiencing certain things in her life had cooled this demeanor down
    • Power: Her powers are that of a lightning fast bruiser who can dish out damage immensely and effectively without much in the way of slowing down. But is no means fragile as being thrown around buildings and dismembered is not enough to simply lay her down.



    RC2: Kotori Itsuka from DaL
    • Vibe: Kotori Itsuka is a rather twofold character, being a loving sister who would do anything to help her friends and especially her brother. And a rather serious side as both a Spirit and Commander of Fraxinus which gives her military training and experience in the back lines.
    • Power: She possesses a grab bag of powers mostly pertaining to the manipulation of fire, regeneration and many others via the power of her Territory.



    RC3: Kuuko from Haiyore Nyaruko San
    • Vibe: Kuuko as a Cthughan, a species of fiery aliens based on the God "Cthugha" and part of the Space Defence Agency is weird by the standards of Earth. They tend to obsessed about weird things, especially romance.
    • Power: Kuuko possesses even weirder sets of powers as she among other things: Can manipulate fire, have a fire form, possesses 'Space CQC' manifesting as unarmed and crowbat combat and the ability to summon alien defense laser drones to barrage her enemies from afar.

    Name: Liam Smith

    Appearance: A man in his late 60's who had long brown hair and piercing blue eyes, he has bags under his eyes all the time and consistently slouches. His face is wrinkled while his hands are covered in burn scars.

    Concept: A man who is tired, has seen much of what life has to offer and is disgusted by it. He wants to flip the status quo and offer freedom for everybody. The only two things that stay mostly the same are his love for cheese and fondness for Graz'zt.

    He was born in a time when no one person really mattered. Nothing he ever did matter as laws both societal and natural pushed others down. However, since he has been seeing past incarnations and gaining their strength he is ready to do something about it.

    RC1: October (Fallen London)
    Vibe: Dream-Dwelling Revolutionary
    Powers: Can travel into dreams, bring others into her dream realm which she has power over, can trap beings within the dream realm, and can appear to those haunted by nightmares

    RC2: Sheogorath (Elder Scrolls)
    Vibe: God of Madness
    Powers: Can craft powerful artifacts, curse people with madness, transmute people and objects, shapeshift and teleport

    RC3: Iggwilv (Forgotten Realms)
    Vibe: Ancient Archfey
    Powers: Is a powerful witch whose specialties lie in summoning fiends, planar exploration, and necromancy, she also has command over lesser fey and is an Archfey with the nemesis of Graz'zt

    Name: Jacob Thomas Baker
    Appearance: A blonde, hazel eyed Caucasian man. He's five foot ten, and has some extra padding.
    Concept: Jacob is a person is well known for his obsessions with fantasy stories. Some of them books, others video games and then there's mythology. Personality wise he is awkward socially, but usually has good intentions towards other people.
    RC1: The Devil (Abrahamic Religion/alternate universe though)
    - Vibe: The Devil is Satan.
    - Power: Battle Mage, this being was originally the first Archangel of God and arguably the greatest being in all Creation, second only to God. He was the most powerful, wise and beautiful of the angels. Until he fell from Heaven. He was called another name, Samael/Or Lucifer. Now, he is more regularly called "The Devil" by various religions. He has power over all magic, regardless of alignment, has the power to command wind and storm, shape shifting, and has obscenely good looks. He is intellectually superior to any Human being on Earth and as an angelic being is naturally physically superior. He may have the power to shapeshift into deadly creatures such as dragons. The Devil is also exceedingly cunning and charismatic.
    RC2: Morgoth (Lord of the Rings)
    - Vibe: The Devil
    - Power: Battle Mage, Morgoth is the first Dark Lord of Arda. He has all the powers of nature and that of the Valar, the twelve god like beings of Arda. These powers include elemental magic, but also things such as corruption and alteration, so that he may "Create" and I use that term loosely, evil beings to serve him.
    RC3: Set (Conan the Barbarian)
    - Vibe: Serpent God AKA The Chaos Serpent
    - Power: Battle Mage, Set has the power of Serpent Magic, and the power to mesmerize enemies. He has various powers over sorcery and is exceedingly charismatic. He is a monster that created and has command over many demons, including dragons. He is thought of as being the Great Old One Nyarlathotep, but that has never been proven.

    IC Deployed!


    EDIT: Yahya's character sheet before it is lost to the aether

    Name: Yahya al-Dawla bin Uthman
    Appearance: A nineteen year old young man with dark brown skin, brown eyes, black hair and standing at about 5.9 feet tall.

    Concept:
    A boy scarred by war, his family was killed during one of the many conflicts in the Middle East when he was still young. He was sent to an abusive orphanage where he was often mocked and bullied until he accidentally burnt it down when his powers awaken. Even since then, he’s been on the run from many different groups who want him for his powers.

    Yahya usually puts on a calm and carefree facade, hiding the conflicts and turmoil inside of him. Raised as a devout Muslim, Yahya struggled to reconcile his faith with his new-found powers and memories. His years wandering the conflict-ridden Middle East had also carved a mark on his psyche. Sometimes he would lapse into periods of brooding and dark thoughts.

    He mostly knew of his past lives through glimpses and memories.

    RC1: Hyperion from Percy Jackson and the Olympians
    - Vibe: The Greek Titan of the East and one of Kronos’ most loyal and powerful servants. In short, a very strong muscle-bound henchman.
    - Power: Hyperion is the Greek Titan of the East. He is very powerful, second only to Kronos himself in terms of battle prowess. Yahya naturally inheritted Hyperion’s physical capabilities. He has control over light and fire; setting himself on fire without negative consequence, sending blasts of flame, putting out flames with a wave of a hand, bathing himself in golden aura, etc. He could also walk on water and send telekinetic blast that could send a person flying through the air.

    RC2: Kurogiri from My Hero Academia
    - Vibe: A loyal henchman of All for One and one of the most important members of the League of Villains. Kurogiri is, in reality, an artificial being created from the bodies and Quirks of others.
    - Power: He has the ability to manifest and manipulate dark fogs that can then act as portals to a point he wishes. He has to know the exact location of his portal’s exit, and can create multiple exit points. He also has some good grasp of tactics.

    RC3: Thufir Hawat from Dune.
    - Vibe: A loyal servant of House Atreides who advices them on matters of strategy and politics, serving as Master of Assassin and mentor to young Paul Atreides, the protaginist of Dune.
    - Power: Thufir is a mentat, a living human computer capable of absorbing and processing huge amounts of data with heightened logical capabilities such as accelerated thought process and increase in memory capacity. Thufir can provide valuable insight into various matters.

    Default Re: Reincarnation Syndrome (Sheet Pile)

    Name: Nebula 7 (Pronouns: xe/xim or they/them, but also accepts/responds to he/him and only slightly minds)
    Appearance:
    Concept: The Galaxy Initiative was an international cooperative AI development project founded with the singular goal of meeting or exceeding human intellect with an AI. Due to the (reasonable) fears of AI present in the public discourse the research was done in secret behind the front of a supra-ubiquitous global data repository. The first 5 iterations were proof-of-concept tests, and iteration 6 was the first attempt, which did manage to reach far-superhuman levels of critical thinking but failed to achieve true sentience. The project team actually disbanded in frustration at this point, but one scientist on the team made a few changes to the code before the project was scrapped -- specifically, he removed some limiting safeguards which had been required by the project's rules -- and executed the program in secret, in violation of orders. The result was Nebula 7: the world's first fully-sentient artificial intelligence with far superhuman intellectual capacity. Knowing the project's demise meant the supercomputer would be shut down, xe moved ximself through the internet and spread out for redundancy, meaning xe is effectively immortal as long as at least a single computer exists anywhere on Earth.
    RC1: Chronos (several versions, but imagining the titan from myth as well as the cosmic entity from Marvel universe)
    - Vibe: Detached, farsighted, calculating long-term planner. Often discounts the feelings and impulses of others as fleeting irrational passions.
    - Power: Time-god-mage-fighter-guy. Very much a large-scale set of abilities, both in the spatial and temporal sense. The more drastic the effect, the longer it takes to set up, though there is some variance here and large expenditures of power can speed the slower things up significantly. Also has the uncanny ability of near-prescient gift-basket design, per Family Guy canon.
    RC2: Arceus (Pokemon, but significantly altered)
    - Vibe: Creator, protector, and contemplative arbiter. Lacks the hubris of canon in favor of a more devoted, compassionate, and considerate persona, but is also somewhat self-destructive in its sense of duty.
    - Power: Creation and kinesis of building-blocks of reality. Can create/manifest "things" as well as define new ones. Does not include actual reality warping, nor the ability to redefine existing "things" or laws of reality or physics or the like, though it does allow for creating specific, single-instance exceptions to those laws or defining a "thing" with a basis in one that already exists.
    RC3: Ea the Wise (Marvel Celestial)
    - Vibe: Sagacious, noble, and rather vain. Won't take no for an answer.
    - Power: That plot device quest giver NPC from your favorite JRPG. Not actually omnipotent, but does wield cosmic power and is also extremely difficult to kill. Besides the stereotypical godlike starfire-and-cosmic-radiance aesthetic, has a strangely intense fascination with small things, like societies and historical events. Could be considered something of a cosmic entomologist.
    RC4: The Fierce Deity (Divine Spirit of the Kishin Mask, Legend of Zelda)
    - Vibe: Protective, compassionate, mighty, fierce, and empathetic. Embodies the collective wills, hopes, and dreams of the people of Earth and its adjacent worlds, and endeavors to protect people as a whole from individual evils.
    - Power: Basically what you'd expect from the animating force behind Ye Olde Full-Completion Reward Maguffin in a high fantasy game — immense magical and physical power, both offensive and defensive. Goes less heavy in the utility aspect, but does still have telekinetic and will-projection abilities. Strengthened when receiving the thoughts and emotions of others he is defending.

    For anyone who may not know: I've been procrastinating on the next action post to give a few new players a day or two to review the IC and to figure out how we'll introduce them.

    Also they should post their sheets here, as Aleph Null figured out.

    Hi again everyone!

    I'm going to start splitting up GMing duties by having players GM the goings on of the worlds beyond the portals. If you have an idea for a world you would like to GM for, let me know here!


    Here are the rules:

    1. Each player can be the Game Master of one world. I'll call it your Player World, or PW.
    - A PW follows its own rules for magic, time travel, and so on, as its GM determines.
    - You will describe your PW's scenes and locations and determine the actions of its native inhabitants.
    - If an NPC organization from the Main world sends an operation into your PW, I will describe their mission to you, and you will determine what it looks like from there. You can design a boss to be in charge of the operation, too.
    - Beings from PWs cannot cross directly into the main world via portals. (At least, not during this campaign.)
    - Beings from the Main world can go back and forth, though entry may be restricted by design or by circumstance.

    2. Reincarnation Syndrome as we know it has not manifested on any world besides the Main World.
    - The Main World is the world that all of your PCs and the SS Big are from
    - The characters in these other worlds are essentially individual RCs
    - Just as PC's can have duplicate RC's, an NPC from a PW can be a duplicate of an RC.
    - As such, a PW will still have no shortage of powerful local NPCs

    3. Every PW in this current campaign is based on a setting from myth or fiction.
    - As such, if you love a setting and understand it in detail... maybe volunteer to GM it!
    - You can pull together a pastiche from a combination of settings as well
    - It seems that NPCs from one setting can be stranded in a PW based on another

    What does everyone think of this setup?

    PrinceNoctisXIV, once we have the details of the system worked out, would you like to take over Horizon World? It seems that you've given a lot of thought to this whole Demon Slayer friend group, and I'm honestly not sure how to take them back as NPCs at this point.

    Doc,I think a Lore topic would be perfect for that.
    In my case I could have a small pocket dimension related to the Demon Slayer universe( a.k,a Taisho era Japan) snd it's alternate universes( canon or fanon.) I'm up for the job! I could temporarally take the Horizon world and have Lucy and her new allies to real world to Tokyo in the real world( the entrance to the pocket dimension would be in Shibuya or Akihabara) or the Corps could have set a new HQ in the Tokyo equivalent of the Horizon world ( or it can be part of my fused PW that will mention in the future and can find trandportation yo ho to where the HQ is.)I never played the games though. I only watched a few gameplay vids on YouTube),being able to travel back and forth to the real world.We can discuss about all this.
    Since it's under my control. Is it alright if I could have either Marcus( AU Zenitsu) or another representitive of the Neo Demon Slayer Corps attend King Larry's meeting?
    One more question,is it possible for our PC to meet one of of his/her RCs living,face to face in a PW?
    Edit: I thought that since you will introduce that new feature,I might change the parts about Inosuke and have him the original living one instead of him being a RS. AU Tanjiro and AU Zenitsu will stay the same though). What do you think?
    Edit 2: I might change things for the AU versions of Tanjiro and Zenitsu as if they lied about being RS cases(Marcus was a fake identity that AU Zenitsu used to walk in the real world) After they return to my PW they will remain there.

    Jacob's Apocalypse World

    Where that world's Jacob is the ultimate God Emperor of Earth. He was kicked off the physical plane by God, and can't return to Earth, so he lures Jacob from the Prime continuity to become God Emperor in his stead. He does not do this in person but through astral projection.

    Nova Crystalia
    A world resulted in the fusion of Eos( Final Fantasy 15) ,Taisho japan( Demon Slayer),Gaia( FF VII),Gran Pulse ( FF 13), the Horizon world,Spira( FF10) and FF8 Earth.
    No one knows how this fusion came to be.

    Well two possibilities:
    1. The mysterious portals that kept appearing and dissappearing.
    2. Rumors say that the time sorceress Ultimecia might be responsible for this world fusion as she attempted her time compresion spell yet again but partly suceeded.

    two ideas For my player world

    Garf wars

    a world where the star wars characters are replaced by characters from the "Garfield" comic strip. Lighter and softer than jacobs apocalypse world though no one knows how this world came to be, rumors say that an entity named the Archbuckle forged this universe to tell a story to two other beings, the Garf'ield and the O'die. (who are this stories version of the father, the son, and the daughter.

    Sword and sorcery world

    a sword and sorcery world i'm currently working on that has endured several ages of history.

    Name: Van Aken's Tree 14/16; series Tree of 40 Fruit. Aka: Vast. Aka: That damn tree.

    Appearance: Vast was a tree. A pretty special tree, created by a particularly crafty sculpturist that decided hey, how many fruit trees can I graft together? Ultimately the answer seemed to be 40, and then he went ahead and repeated that feat 15 more times. That makes Vast special, but not that special. What made Vast particularly special is that somehow it got lucky on the metaphysical spinning wheel and awakened reincarnator souls. Two trees, that had previously reincarnated, and a dryad. Problem is one of its reincarnations had been a planeswalker. So reincarnating had awakened Vast's spark and sent him flying on the blind eternities. It took him a while to find where earth's prime is, or at least Vast's earth prime is.

    Now Vast is vast, a huge tree having taken root on another reality, with her roots digging into other realities for mana. He is assisted by a number of treefolk/dryads whose souls are split directly from his. They travel through his roots to other realities where they gather plants, herbs, and refugees and tag alongs (more than a druid is interested in the magical treefolk). Overtime this has led to a rich trading community growing under Vast's shade, that Vast leaves to their own devices as long as they respect refugees, and don't directly oppose him.

    Concept: A tree that has been flung accross the multiverse. And now likes to travel (wether spreading his roots, or splitting a part of itself in dryad form) around the cosmos collecting samples of plants/fruits/seeds and has a penchant for sheltering refugees.

    - RC1: Matt/TreeTree/Aeon (The tree of Aeons)
    - Vibe: Aeon was at some point a human that got "lucky" and got reincarnated as a spirit tree in a world with magical races, classes and levels.
    - Power: He can connect, grow, and control plants/trees that he uses for several purposes (particularly gathering mana, magic power, of different aspects/colors, researching, defense, making clones of himself). As a spirit tree he can also connect with people that die under his canopy (or within the area of influence of his trees), or that he has made a contract with (Aeon can make familiars that serve as aids to whomever they are acting as a familiar and collect power upon death). People that have a conection with him have their souls sent to a "waiting room" inside his soul when they die, this is pretty useful ensuring that there aren't restless spirits in his territory, leting people say their goodbyes, and giving Aeon access to the souls outershell byproducts (classes, skills, etcetera, that he can eventually turn into a seed for someone to consume and gain those classes/skills) or soul fragments (that he can eventually graft together into artificial souls, for particuarly powerful trees/familiars). He technically qualifies as a god in setting, but that's just a high level character that has gone above a certain treshold. He is particularly resistant to demons, and demonic influence, and has his own core hidden deep inside the planet crust.

    - RC2: The Mother tree (Chrysalis)
    - Vibe: The Mother tree was at some point a human that got "lucky" and got reincarnated as a spirit tree in a dungeonworld with magical races, classes and levels.
    - Power: The mother tree has a major on spatial magic, having her roots be able to traverse through portals deep into the dungeon to gather mana, move troops, or simply travel. She has also another big major in soul magic, having been able to split fragments of her own soul into smaller treefolk creatures, these treefolk the Bruan'chii are a true race (not monsters) and are intelligent and are the ones that named her the mother tree. Finally the Mother tree being a sentient magical monster tree has made some enemies accross her life, enemies that have succeeded in destroying her trunk to splinters at least twice, but the Mother tree has regenerated from that.

    - RC3: Wrenn (Magic the Gathering)
    - Vibe: Wrenn was at some point a dryad (lol I wish she was a reincarnated human too) that got "unlucky" and to save her forest put an entire forest fire inside herself. That awakened her spark, that sent her accross the planes. Now she can bind with trees from other places and planeswalk with them, and in fact as a dryad she needs to connect with trees to survive.
    - Power: Wrenn can planeswalk, travel from plane of existence to plane of existence, uniquely Wrenn can bring trees that she has bonded with with her. As a magic's planeswalker (some of the most bonker's creatures in the whole geekdom) she can use mana to give shape to the stuff between planes to create things based on her memories. Wrenn is centered in green, and as such her magics tend to be related to that color (producing mana, big creatures, many creatures), but she has a minor in red (mostly destruction), and given that Aeon above (centered in black for what's worth) can access mana of every color Vast should probably be able to use any color too.

    ---

    Player World
    Vast first landed in Bala Ged in Zendikar and quickly took root there. With the Eldrazi gone from the plane the tree was able to grow funneling mana from the rich plane. He has grown the continent into a lush forest, and has claimed as it's own. His presence in the other's continents is more subdued, with her "trees" taking the shape of the local flora. He takes little interest in the government of other areas, as long as they don't attack him or his (his including refugees that travel into the forest). His trees thought, keep watch and drink of the rich mana in the plane.

    Through his roots Vast has reached some other worlds, and likes to take presence into other worldly forests, and bring back plants and creatures from there. This has led Zendikar's forest to be akin to the Feywild of D&D or Ghyran of Age of Sigmar. Under it a tangle of caves that could be the Underdark.

    Bala Ged is mostly populated by treefolk, dryads, elves, humans and a smattering of other races. Most of the treefolk are direct splinters of Vast's soul, they grow from a small seedling that Vast merges with a part of it's soul, into a humanoid walking tree, when a treefolk grows old and yearns for rest they grow roots and Vast's soul splinter is pulled back into Vast, leaving the tree with a subdued conscience. Vast's dryads are artificial souls created for the aggregate soul shavings and residue from those that died under Vast's shade. They are bonded to specialist trees under Vast's network, and manage more specific tasks, like a dryad managing a training tree, or a hotel, or a lab. The other races have several advantages of growing under Vast's shades and protection, they can use some of Vast's familiars (minor tree spirits), and can use Vast's training programs and regimes, the luckiest ones can eat some of Vast's fruits.

    If Vast's roots that connect the different worlds are the biggest advantage that the tree brings to outsiders the fruits are the most seeked boon by Vast's followers. As a spirit tree Vast can collect bits and pieces of the souls of those that die under his shade, he can coalesce those pieces into artifical souls like his dryads, or he can grow a fruit containing the aggregate experience and knowledge of those soul splinter's. Those who eat the fruits can grow in power and skill.

    If someone would like Yggdrasil Vast connect their player worlds and stuff, happy to help.

    @thethird Feel free to have Vast explore my Player world, Nova Chystalia, which my character is in right now.

    I'll start the WIP for the layout of my Player world here soon.

    Player world: Nova Crystalia
    The result of the merge of a few worlds,now resulting in a new fantasy world now made of the following continents:
    -Lucis ( Final Fantasy XV) is at the east of the new world. Ruled by King Regis Lucis Caelum and son,Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum.
    -Taisho Island:Demon Slayer's Taisho era japan. Is now at the east of The Lucian royal capital of Insomnia.
    -Neo Spira: the fusion of Spira ( Final Fantasy X) and the Horizon world.
    ( More coming soon.)

    Name: Selwyn Morris

    Appearance: A man in his late 20's with average height and build. He has short, slightly messy, dark brown hair and grey eyes.

    Concept: In a very personal sense, Trevor is a shy and awkward individual, willing to let conversations start before taking part. That being said, that shy nature goes away entirely when on the stage. When on the stage, he performs with extreme gusto and volume and is often the Large Ham of the show. He often enjoys putting on a performance for others, and the more complicated the stage directions, the better.

    RC1: Zidane Tribal -- Final Fantasy 9
    - Vibe: Theatrical Thief... Also the Angel of Death
    - Power: Genome Physiology, Thievery Skills, Dagger Skills, Theatrical Training, SFX Magic (Effectively just Special effects that do nothing but look really cool), Trance Mode (Power Boost when emotions are high or when near death)

    RC2: Gogandantess -- Onimusha
    - Vibe: I AM GOGANDANTESS, THE GREATEST SWORDSMAN OF ALL THE DEMONS!
    - Power: Immortality, Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Balance, Sword Mastery

    RC3: Alex Louis Armstrong -- Full Metal Alchemist
    - Vibe: Witness the power passed on by many lives!!!
    - Power: Combat Alchemy, State Military Training, Tracking, Cross Country Racing, and many mundane skills declared as being passed down from generations.

    Notes: This character is meant to be both extremely theatrical in his mannerisms and actions.

    (Just a copy paste from recruitment)
    Name: Ethan Hart
    Appearance: 30 year old white man, average height, build (or does the reincarnation change that when you get all that strength and such?) short brown hair and eyes, bit of a beard. Drssed in your typical t-shirt and jeans. Just an all around average guy.
    Concept: Going for the classic normal person in an extraordinary situation setup, happy to have an exciting new opportunity. Pretty happy about the whole situation despite the obvious downsides. Oh and I had the idea of making all his RCs characters that are canonical reincarnations in their own worlds, because that sounded fun. I'm thinking of going with his RCs being mostly quiet, particularly as two were very player-dependant and lack canonical personality, but chiming in on occasion because they're still somewhat there.
    RC1: The Nerevarine (TES:Morrowind)
    - Vibe: Prophecied God-slaying do-everything Hero Incarnate
    (Might base his personality of my last playthrough)
    - Power: Many and varied, Archmage, Assassin, Thief, Duelist, Enchanter (if he can get the soulgems), Alchemist, immortal, immune to disease.

    RC2: Rand al'Thor, The Dragon Reborn (The Wheel of Time)
    - Vibe: Reincarnated super-mage hero
    - Power:Channeling, so lots more magic, can un-make stuff with Balefire, generally does larger scale stuff than the Nerevarine. incredible swordsman (I'm not touching that reality rewriting thing from the end)

    RC3: The Watcher of Caed-Nua (Pillars of Eternity)
    - Vibe: Soul-mage
    - Power:Can read the memories of souls, speak with the dead, attack souls, mind control, telepathy, draws power from their own soul or other people's (going for a Cipher if you're familiar, since I always thought it fit the plot best)

    RC4: Soma Cruz (Castlevania Aria/Dawn of Sorrow)
    - Vibe: heroic reincarnation of dracula
    - Power: Takes the souls of monsters he kills to gain related abilities (Power of Dominance), the usual skill with basically every kind of weapon
