Hall of Rejected Universes

[Fleetlord Atvar]

You're posting them in fives...
Why did I guess that beforehand somehow?
And these are all good ideas. Please put more. Thanks!

[Darth Grievi]

Actually, I'm posting them based on how you posted them in the first few posts.

Reject #6

Not particularly interesting from a RP standpoint. If we go in order, this might be where the crew begins to wonder why Insert is screwing up so much. Serching through his garbage might prove interesting, though.

Reject #7

Concidering our crew is allready universe hopping, this one won't be particularly hard to wrap their heads around. This one is a bit of an unknown, since cultures vary between sub-universes.

Reject #8

Ah, yes, the Ascenders and Descenders. There's allways the possible plot of helping one or the other along in their goal. Also the variable rules along the worlds may end up throwing some crew members for a loop.

Reject #9

Moon colonists vs the hivemind. I smell epicness. Specifically of the war variety. Just how epic will depend on whether the crew simply gives the RU9'ers better technology or if they attack the hivemind directly. This is probably my pick for best RP scenario so far.

Reject #10

Planet-hopping just got litteral. Other than that novelty, an "avoid the angry natives" fits this universe well.

[Fleetlord Atvar]

I really didn't design 6 to be RPed in...
But you're definitely right about RU9.

[Darth Grievi]

RU 11

Danger! Danger Will Robinson!

Anyone who goes there is screwed, period, the end.

Send Dethy!

RU 12

As I said before, "AAAAAAAHHHH!". That, along with the occasional corpse floating past, may just unnerve our crew again, just when they were getting used to this stuff.

RU 13

Immortality! That's going to prove a bugger... Along with figuring out the source of it. There will also be a major culture shock between the soda'd and the non-soda'd, I guarantee it.

RU 14

Reverse aging... Some wierd cultural flubs can be had here. And Antibirth. That'll disturb more than one crew member. I forsee general cultrural wierdness, perhaps several failed attempts at diplomacy.

RU 15

Expect someone to toss their cookies at the mindbending sight of this universe. And headaches galore once they start moving through it. This one's going to be like a maze, with our crew pretty much helpless if it weren't for the natives.

[Fleetlord Atvar]

I really did, quite literrally, laugh out loud at what you said on RU11.
My original idea for its RP plot was that they steal some portal equipment...

[Darth Grievi]

RU #16/RU #17

Since they're basically opposites of each other, I'll put these two together. Both would essentially have an infinite "up" direction, and like you said, both have identical cultures. The wierd geometry might throw some crew members off, but it's nothing compared to RU 15

More soon...

[Fleetlord Atvar]

Seems about right.
The only thing is, RU16/17 geometry is totally different and alien from RU42ian geometry, whereas RU15 geometry is just warped and confusing.

[Fleetlord Atvar]

Ok, so I'm breaking this whole ransom thing. I'm going to start making universes again.
Reject Universe #67
RU 67 could be called a war between Order and Chaos. Chaos is life, Order is nature. Nature follows a perfect fractal pattern. It is an infinite ball pit, constantly shifting and organizing itself. There are 8 kinds of ball, for each primary and secondary color and for black and white. However, balls are of an infinite variety of sizes. If you look hard enough, you'll see that balls are made of millions of similarly colored balls. Each of these microscopic balls is likewise. The scale stops nowhere. Constantly, balls are attracting other balls of the same color and forming into massive balls, growing to a new scale. It is thought that this is how it got to its modern scale in the first place. A new scale is reached about every million years. Life is also made of balls, but stops itself through its complex systems from organizing to the new scale. As the balls are the base of the food chain, however, it must grow. All species undergo a process called Legacy Growth. When a mother has a child, for example, it's of normal size for a baby. However, until its hits puberty it continues growing as a baby, and most children are several times as large as their mothers.
Wildlife
The base of the food chain is the balls. These are transmitted into usable energy by the Aciarks, which are thought to be the descendant of all RU67 life. Aciarks look like piles of clear, gooey fluid. They dissolve the balls. Merklings, furry centipede like organisms, and many other similar creatures, eat the Aciarks. Human's favorite creature to eat is the Moovin, a cow-like but tentacle covered thing. It provides both beef and calamari. The Coofid is a deadly snake-like but crocodile sized carnivore. It is venemous. No-one says "Coofid" because they are afraid that will summon it.
Society
Generally, humans spend most of their time climbing through the balls, looking for food. They rarely meet another human. When they do, they often stay together for days and communicate. It is thought that RU67 humans have a form of telepathy, as they communicate and form bonds with no speaking. Generally, when a male and female of similar size meet, they WILL mate, as it is a highly rare occasion to either find a person of opposite gender or of similar size. If they quit doing so the species would collapse. In fact, the idea of not mating when a chance comes up is alien to them.
Non-RU67ians or any Non-RU67ian matter must undergo fractalization upon entering, as otherwise a massive pain and death will occur. Fractalization removes the death and slightly assauges the pain.
NEXT:RU68.

[Darth Grievi]

That one's going to be a problem to enter...

Send Dethy!

((This is going to become a running joke between us, isn't it? ))

[Fleetlord Atvar]

((Probably so.

[Darth Grievi]

((YEY!)

[Fleetlord Atvar]

Reject Universe #68
Well, Insert was running into a problem. The Kingdom of Mathos was relieving him from his calculation fines, but his archives were overflowing! Thus, the Literlands were made. If the Kingdom of Mathos is a casino, than the Literlands is a library. The Literlands is full of librarians, in fact there is no other occupation. They file information on every event that occurs in any universe, though they make no use of it themselves. The constantly growing encyclopedias store all information that has ever existed, in textual form. The text is in a language so universal that anyone with a soul can read it (this has made Naats angry as he does not have a soul and thus cannot read it). The computers keep track of the encyclopedias and have pictures of every instance ever from every angle. Rooms full of typewriters and book materials full of constantly working authors recieving information from every other universe keep the information up to date.
Wildlife:Small worms called bookworms travel from encyclopedia to encyclopedia, eating away the words. Fortunately, they urinate the words out of their other side afterwards, in order, which means that the only annoyance they serve is the fact that the text is reorganized (ie if they ate an encyclopedia and then urinated it, the entries may be out of order.).
Birdlike things live here called Relayers. They are constantly travelling into the interdimensional void, and are mostly resistant to the effects of universe externals. They pick up all information and deliver it to the authors.
Society:A single human from RU68 is probably more intelligent than the most intelligent being from the average RU, despite only knowing a small corner of the library. However, they do not know that the information that they know is true, in fact they think all of the information that they are writing down is part of a vast, fiction project. Thus, they refer to reality as "The Story" and Insert as "The Author.". They call the human race "The Secretarians".

[Darth Grievi]

Oh, that'll be fun. Good luck copying all that into your computers, folks...

[Fleetlord Atvar]

Reject Universe #69
RU69 is a cruel irony- It's one of the most beautiful universes in existence, yet it's also one of the few universes that did not bear any humans. Notably, it is on the surface of a hypersphere, but not a perfect hypersphere. Many holes exist in the hypersphere that lead to the universal core. The holes are all at the cores of planets. There are no stars, merely planets floating in space. The universe is constantly growing. Constantly, the planets get further apart, but constantly new holes form, and around those holes grow new planets. This means that the map is constantly changing. Also, as the Universal Core is made of pure energy, and the planets all lead to the universal core through their own core, this means that life is common, and approximately 1/3 of the planets have multicellular life, though no intelligence.
Wildlife:Vastly varies from planet to planet. No sample that could fit in this space would do the universe justice.
Society:None... except...
Reject Universe 70
RU70 was a faulty universe. It's end came too soon, and in fact shortly after man got into space, the universe started to decompose. Reality failed, everywhere. Matter started turning into energy, and energy was dissappearing. Even the black holes were vanishing. The last few humans had to act quick. They developed a primitive universe-travelling machine, and travelled once to RU69. They had no home planet, but they could still survive. They travelled from planet to planet. They were nomads in this universe. They stayed on no planet. Rather, they stayed in their spaceships, and travelled from planet to planet. They mine the energy from planets with machines, though there is some risk involved as many of the planets have dangers, such as dust storms, fast-adapting diseases, and carnivores. They also help diversify the ecosystems by moving life from planet to planet and linking planets with portals, in effect combining the ecosystems.
Next:Appendix #7

[Darth Grievi]

That'd be pretty fun to play in, provided we landed on a ship, or near one...
