Right then. What kit, and does it have to be a Matoran?

 

-----

 

R, and yes.

So a different name, color, and mask? Along with more of a self-insert personality?

 

-----

 

It's basically a self-insert that is handled very carefully. For instance, Vee is my observer, Zyglak is... well, Zyglak's, since his in-timeline character is Ro/Rahsilon/whoever at this point.

VEE: Hm... Troubling.

VEE: I didn't foresee this.

VEE: Very troubling, indeed...

VEE: I'm supposed to be able to track my timeline, but this was...

VEE: Unexpected.

VEE: The others will want to hear of this.

VEE: I suppose that, for now, I will have to put my trust in my chosen Observed.

???: See? There he is.

VEE: Hello, gentlemen.

???: Greetings.

???: Good to see you.

VEE: I see we opted for the white void location for this week's meetings?

G??: Yes.

I never made an Observer.

 

-----

 

Regardless. Please make one. It will make things a lot easier for all of us in UCS crossovers.

The Observers' appearance should not be your own character, but instead a representation of yourself outside of themes (For instance, your Prime color theme). Just some colors in a scheme you like, and a unique mask if you'd like, for example, like Vee's.

A notice to UCS Members:

 

Please create sprites for your timeline's Observer, and if you don't have one, make one, and upload them to the UCS majhost/brickshelf, or send them to me so I can. This way we can use them for comics related to Observers.

 

 

Your comic's character cannot be an Observer. In order to make the timeline work correctly, these Observers are required, so please make one if you don't have one.

I think Noras works better, personally.

Got yourself a nice TNG portrait there

's pretty good

 

Funny how similar Ler's alter ego looks so similar OH WHOOPS SPOILERS?

<There was a post from Zyg here, but it's hard to tell with how quoting looks now, so this is here instead>

 

 

I'll be keeping the timeline the same for now until the decision is complete and official, I.E. once it's all set and done, in case of any possibilities of reconsidering, just as a safe backup. If the plan is gone through with, I'll tweak the timeline for your changes.

 

Also, I've just been too busy to set up Ler for Razor. If I had a sheet of him Razor handy, I'd send you one.

This is easier to comprehend without exerting any bit of brain power, I like it.Also, at my universe, what does DR, AOD, and TS represent? I know that AOD is Age of Destiny, but for some reason I cant remember or think of what the other two are.

Death's Reaper, Age of Destiny, and The Show.

I can't tell you how much I like it now. Everything is perfectly organized. The timeline looks great and the FAQ is awesome too.Also, I like the idea of the observers deal. It's an overall improvement of anything I thought up and what was there before. Thanks for the work you did on it and the time you took to put it together.Also, one more thing, you can add my observer as Terren(Terra Nuva) as Terren is me while Terra Nuva is the character.

Sure. The names on the timelines simply represent which timeline "belongs" to which member. Perhaps I should include a list of every member's "main character".

Now that makes way more sense. So various series that we don't consider our 'main' are splinter timelines that never reach the convergence point, right?Sounds good to me.

Indeed. I was simply going based on a person's primary topic.

Okay, the timeline's going to have some massive changes on the way. I haven't started because pretty much everything in the timeline has to be rethought. It's a bit discouraging given the hours I put into the original one, but due to all sorts of strange complications, I have to rewrite it, remake the timeline sheet, and try to explain everything again without sparking more arguments and issues within it.

Well, looks like the theory's been talked out. I suppose we should get things moving again, since this seems to be the place where the whole UCS can come together for a good plotline.

I've been working on my comic - First panel is done, and that might not sound like much, but given that you guys know what my 'panels' are, that's decent progress.

Heheh, but what would fit him? Bipolar?

You'll see... once I make it.

I'm going to have to come up with one of these stereotyped ones for Ler, heh.

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.

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?

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

Notable Observers:

Vee [Leraku's Timelines]

Toa Zyglak [TZ himself's Timelines]

Terren [Terren/Terra Nuva's Timelines]

Geo [soran's Timelines]

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.

Current UCS Cameos:

Loganto

Zyke

So, who's up next?

Still me. I'm going to be talking out a theory for the UCS universe with Zyglak/Ro/...Whoever now. Otherwise, I'm going to be working on an AoD comic for this.

Oh! I thought I had looked at this awhile ago, and someone else was up. Good to know. I'll try to get some work done on this, although I may first present my personal large summary of the UCS universe. It's going to take some time to piece together, however, as I have recently thought of an incredibly large backstory for it that, hopefully, will work.
