Timeline

This multiverse works much more simply than the original AOD-centric multiverse.

TIMELINE SHEET

To explain, everyone in the UCS exists within a specific multiverse focusing on a single converging point. The fact that their timelines converge at this point does not mean as it ends there, as it's technically infinite in both directions. Everyone also has split potions of their timelines for alternates, such as DoD, LTSL and so on. Due to the converging point amidst the timelines, there are often similarities between people's dimensions, most often seen as representations of the other timelines' members. Some have understood this timeline and are working on how to harness it for dimensional hopping, while others have already mastered it, bringing me to my next point:

The Observers

The observers are technically the "author" representations of members of the timelines - incredibly powerful and knowledgable beings that know quite a lot about the multiverse, and have powers in turn. They often dwell at the converging point where the timelines meet, so as to meet up with other observers, since most of the time they restrict themselves to their own timelines. Their other rules are to try to never directly interfere with a dimension/timeline to a point where the mortal beings are aware of them, although there are sometimes subtle exceptions. However, observers can have small parts in changing the course of a timeline for better or for worse, depending on the circumstance. Occasionally, observers can 'timeline hop' to other timelines in the multiverse, but in these circumstances they are prohibited from interfering with the dimension in question.

FAQ

Q: Can I join the UCS?

A: No. The UCS is currently a closed society, as we believe any more members would make things too complicated.

Q: Can I PGS/GS in UCS comics?

A: That's up to the comic's author. This does not mean you can ask to be an official UCS PGS/GS, as that would infer everyone would have to include you in their comics. Cameos, on the other hand, can be sent to Terren, the leader, or the creator of the comic you wish to cameo in. If you send it to Terren, he will ask us all to vote, and we can all decide en masse whether or not to include you in our comics.

Q: What's a cameo?

A: Cameos are either somewhat like recurring GSes, or background characters.

Q: Can my comics be added to the timeline?

A: No. The timeline is currently for UCS members only.

Q: Can I submit fanart for the UCS?

A: Yes. You can feel free to send UCS art, be it banners, fancomics, or otherwise, to me, via PM. That way, I can post it in a fanart link section once we start getting some.

[Axilus Prime]

Hmm....I can see this all becoming very contradictory one day. Such as the fact that Axilus' species in my comics is not a Toa, yet in AoD he is a Toa.But such is the nature of continuities, and there can always be the Energized Protodermis cop-out.Mass sounds good, because of the reasons stated above.

[Control_Vee]

Hmm....I can see this all becoming very contradictory one day. Such as the fact that Axilus' species in my comics is not a Toa, yet in AoD he is a Toa.

Personally, I believe that most of the Chosen had their memories somewhat removed, in that they have a slight tinge of something feeling familiar to plot-related things, but most of them did not know much when they were launched. Such obvious exceptions are Leraku and Rahsilon, though everyone will likely gain their memories back later.What this means is, that possibly in AoD, Axilus doesn't entirely know whether he's a Toa or not, but due to his similar appearance/size, most have referred to him as such and he accepts it.

[Axilus Prime]

All right, that makes more sense.Except that he has no elemental powers in Prototypes either. Maybe that can be part of the Ru-Being stuff he unlocks?

[Control_Vee]

Exactly.Due to events in D3, Leraku and Soran get their powers first. The others will likely unlock theirs in AoD.Also: Prototypes is an alternate timeline. I had personally used "TNG's Comics" as the TNG/Axilus timeline, but I can swap them around in the image file if necessary.

[Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak]

Very neat way to show the timeline, hopefully this makes sense everyone!

[Axilus Prime]

Yeah, swap them around, Leraku. I don't want TNG's Comics to by my timeline things. I actually would prefer Prototypes to be there.I kind of...erased all my TNG-ness and started over, with a few references to older days. (Kaio)

[Control_Vee]

Allright. I'll switch around the labels, will likely show up later today.

[Axilus Prime]

Thanks.I'm still a bit fuzzy on the timeline though. So there are multiple alternate universes that all converge on one point, then go forward from there?

[Control_Vee]

Thanks.I'm still a bit fuzzy on the timeline though. So there are multiple alternate universes that all converge on one point, then go forward from there?

The Ru-Beings came from the Origin Realm (Original timeline), were separated (our comic timelines), then brought back together into the central one in AoD. Then, we continue onwards till the end of AoD, and eventually a possible less-serious MAS. Around that time, alternate universes may be created if we want to make comics at that point that are separate from the main story/timeline.

[Axilus Prime]

Oh, that makes more sense.In that case, I'd better adapt Prototypes so as not to contradict AoD, such as having Axilus gain fire powers at the ending or something.

[Terra Nuva]

I really like the way you showed the timeline. Great job. Also, just a suggestion that I would like to have a vote on. Would you guys like to have AoD in it's own topic still, or in this one?

[Axilus Prime]

I think it's be better to have it in the other topic, seeing as this has an image file that qualifies as a comic and can be used for miscellaneous stuff.Less trouble that way.

[Control_Vee]

AoD should remain in it's own topic.This topic is for the timeline, as well as miscellaneous info about the story, and general UCS information.

[Soran]

Wait watI would like to say I understood this but I didn't. I like the story, its a nice story very complex and such, but I don't understand how it applies. I assume that these Ru-being are either the main character themselves or another character specifically set to be one. Now I guess your story is implying that some characters, like Soran to be specific would be a Ru-being. I'm not sure if I like that idea. When I think of the description you gave on them, I think of some character who know how to fight, are intellectual, etc such as your character, Leraku. Soran doesn't fall under this category at all. Hes weak and troublesome. He tries to act like the more mature person in his little group of friends/acquaintances but fails. He has no idea how to fight, his intellect is higher then normal but still is quite brainless in some areas. Basically he is as I said before, weak. Then again, this is only his traits in my specific comic series. His traits in other comics such as yours will most likely fit the description and would rather it be that specific Soran. Or I'll just create a random character to be the Ru-being which is much more likely to be honest. Unless what you were stating was that then I take back everything.The timeline thing is weird. Cool, but weird. Now that I look at it again I can now see how its a timeline. Just one thing though, is Age of Destiny supposed to be the end of the UCS timeline thing? 'cause if so then I want a redo. It can't end like that, I don't even know what it's even about. Also theres another thing I'm wondering which is, Whats with the double Soran. Theres one at the beginning and then the alternate timeline/universe thing of mine at the bottom. I assume that the one at the top is talking about how it connects to D3 but I could be wrong. Either way it seems interesting... and weird. ~Soran

[Axilus Prime]

No one remembers that they're a Ru-Being. Their power can manifest in ways that are small (like Axilus consistently being large in all his comic incarnations) or not at all, such as a weak Matoran who is in no way special, like the Soran incarnation you put in your main line of comics.The power only comes out in AoD.Hope that helps, but Leraku's the expert. I can barely wrap my mind around his time/space/alternate universe concepts.Also, if it has to do with character issues (such as the completely contradictory personalities of Soran in AoD and in your comics), I have a solution you could use, should you choose to accept it.Soran got depressed and tired of being the weak one, and left. He turned to a life of thievery to survive, and became a manipulator, a trickster, because he was tired of that being done to him. He occasionally relapses, like in your intro comic. And then at the end of AoD he can find the balance between those sides of him and become a real hero.Also, to all UCS members performing the change in my PGS name, appearance, and personality: A tip for continuity. TNG is an entirely different being. Axilus shows up independently, and TNG can be killed or kept for comedy value, depending on your preference.

The Ru-Beings are the eight of us' characters in our specific timelines. Leraku/Rahsilon (As Rahsilon is the "philosopher", he likely studied/discovered this fact) are the only ones that remember that they are Ru-beings.The 'Soran' basics of the chart are actually quite specific.Soran was going to be sent out like the rest, but he was doubled back around to D3. This explains his "fighting" capabilities.A snippet from an alternate timeline is seen near the bottom of the sheet, where in that timeline, Soran ended up in the timeline where "Soran's Comics" take place, giving him no reason to learn how to fight. The main central universe never connects with it.Also: Ru-beings are not made to fight. Those that do fight choose to do so, so even if this alternate timeline mentioned above didn't take place, Soran could still technically be weaker by your choice. For instance, Leraku's fighting abilities come originally from some training he got from some friends in the Origin Realm (These 'friends' will be important in a D3 flashback comic), and that prowess increased in his Imperium training. AoD/UCS Soran was trained at the Imperium as well, though in said alternate timeline, he never ended up at the Imperium, and thus never learned how to fight. This isn't the case in D3, as seen.About the timeline itself: That "Glow" at the bottom of AoD is a space-filler. The 'ending' there is just as the lines in the timeline simply represent chains of events. The AoD line could be longer or shorter, it doesn't matter much, but it represents AoD. It's not going to be as short as the line in the sheet is, I simply use it as a representation. Once AoD does end, however, the 'possible ending' could be another MAS, although more casual for all of us. Sort of like how Soran's Comics are, as a sort of setting in which all of the characters 'take a breather' from the adventures they were in.As an explanation for why Leraku knows how to fight in Soran's Comics: A possible accident early on in an alternate D3, after his Imperium Training, launched him into the "Soran's Comics" dimension. In this alternate universe, Soran never was in D3 in the first place.

[Axilus Prime]

Well, that's even better, though my explanation for the Soran personality issue could still help.And I suppose now I need an explanation for why Axilus can fight in Soran's Comics: He's an overzealous defender of freedom and justice to the point of being hilarious. He'd have been training for quite a while. XD

Perhaps he trained himself, say, as a joke, that no sort of training school actually accepted him for how overdramatic he could be?

[Axilus Prime]

Sounds good, as long as he's competent. He is, after all, by core nature the same guy from Prototypes. Just made different by circumstance in that universe.

[Soran]

A lot of other member's character's have brothers/sisters, what about them. Would it be that they, the person's character, are adopted? Or just have a strong enough relationship with each other to consider them a sibling. Also what about those who are technically an alien such as Felinuva?~Soran

@the Felinuva issue:Perhaps he was warped slightly when he was transported from the Origin Realm.Sibling-wise: Either a fragment of memories, or, since everyone had their own timeline that they were in (seen on chart) they were 'technically' their siblings in these cases. Or adopted, or close bonds, whatever the user prefers.

[Lemony Lepid]

Will other wanabe members be able to join soon? because that power seems quite yummy... I wish to be granted the gift of... laughter. though a strange gift it is quite powerful... but alas, the UCS wishes not to alow.Yet answer my question and inform me. Uh, please.

Edited November 11, 2012 by Loganto The Le-Matoran

[Soran]

I'm not exactly sure on this. I will probably have to discuss it with Terra on the subject. Even if not I still think you're a good pick.~Soran

[Lemony Lepid]

Terra has death powers, so no on that, yet thank you for saying im a good pick! Laughter is what I wish for though. Thanks!

[Axilus Prime]

Laughter will not fit here. The UCS is a serious group. Also, as of this moment there are 8 UCS members already. I don't think we could fit an 8th Ru-Being; maybe you'd get a different role?Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it. You're pretty good at the comic making stuff. We'd just need to find some way, which would be difficult.

[Lemony Lepid]

hrm, maby giggles would be laughter. whateves.Souls?Corruption?I am being analized as we speek....

[Axilus Prime]

We can't make you a Ru-Being or give you a power, if you end up in the UCS at all in any way shape or form. We're discussing this, but enough with the powers suggestions.

[Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak]

These powers were made ahead of time for AoD and they are applied only to the 8 Ru-beings. Please leave further discussion to other things having to do with the UCS, the timelines, and/or our comics.

[Lemony Lepid]

sorry. I talk too much.

[Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak]

BTW, If you could all send me your bios following this nifty style that Soran made that he sent to all of you I believe.Name you wish to be called:Traits:Talents:Weapons:Hobbies:Anything Extra:Plus, heres a little extra thats just going with the running gag that I tend to be the most ridiculously armed person in all of our comics.Just some bullets.so, anyone else got a character stereotype that the UCS seems to have pegged on you? If so, put it in a one-panel form. A example other than myself is TNG and his addiction of pie...well, its outdated, since thats not the case anymore, but still

[Axilus Prime]

I no longer have that pie addiction, but I can think of a good stereotype I can fit in...all right, sure. I got enough time for this...

[Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak]

This started as me being bored and testing my new look in chimoru. Hopefully plan on changing it to the toa form when Soran's finished it, but hey, still looks fine.

Oh stereotypes.Soran - Ladies manThis is one I unintentionally started that is probably the more well known part about my character, having been referenced in quite a few comics.~SoranPS: TZ, you messed up on the shadow.

I know Soran is crying because the shadow is so bad, but I tried the best I could (kinda not really). I decided to play on the fact that there is always so much blood in my comics. And that even I died in the first season.
