In ancient times, a colossal platform was built within the rift between worlds. Made with the power to link multiple worlds, this Smash Gate was created with the intent of forging alliances across time and space. But it was abused... A great evil sent forth it's scourge in an attempt to lay claim to all worlds. The Corruption knew no bounds and sought out negative emotions to feed on, decaying the world and corrupting it's inhabitants to create more chaos and darkness. Eventually twelve great heroes stepped forth to end the calamity, fighting back the evil force and sealing it away within it's own dimension. With the last of their power, they forged a gate that would seal it away for eternity, locking it with twelve keys. With the source of the Corruption sealed off, the Corruption soon disappeared from the worlds, and the heroes each returned to their own worlds, a key in hand.
Without the Corruption, peace and prosperity slowly returned to all worlds, but over time, anger, despair, and grief have begun to surface, radiating negative energy, and the Corruption Gate begins to weaken. Sensing it's source of sustenance, the Corruption is leaking through the seal and beginning anew what it once had done before... The decay and destruction of all worlds. Every day this corruption seeks out more and more hosts to corrupt, spreading it's stench across all worlds, unopposed by the heroes of ancient times... Some will move to silence it's dark screech, some will be drawn by it's allure of power to those with the willpower to harness it, but only those with true power of heart can make a difference.
To ultimately prevent the Corruption from returning and laying waste to all worlds, the heroes performed one final act and destroyed the Smash Gate, and all worlds were once again alone, cut off from each other. But the gate survived and began repairing itself. In recent times, however, these worlds have begun opening up, more and more worlds joining the Gate as their portal is discovered. Now, people from across worlds have begun partaking in tournaments of skill, wisdom, and strength. Lately, however, as portals are discovered, they soon shut down, barring the entrant access back to their home world. Suddenly stranded with no way back, many newcomers find themselves with a choice. Search for a way back home, or begin again in this new coalition of worlds.
Uprising of the Corrupted Fates
The Main RP will begin soon. Once the main board has opened up, threads that take place within the worlds of the Smash Gate can be posted within the proper world and treated as canon. Progression of the story isn't automatic. You, the RPer, have to seek out what to do. Help will be given along the way, but only so much to point you in a general direction. With numerous worlds available to you, each one has it's own story, most stories are independent of each other, and story participation is totally optional. You can take a stroll in Toad Town, zip-line around Skytown Elysia, go fight tektites and moblins on the trails of Death Mountain, or take a relaxing vacation at Wuhu Island. The choice is yours. Important note: The story will affect all worlds to a certain degree. This does not mean they will be made unavailable at any point, however.
