[WP] The world has two powerful fighters that are fundamentally different, yet manifests as the same thing: unrelenting action to complete an objective. One has an unbreakable will. The other has no will no break.
reddit.com[WP] The world ended, and the only things that remained intact, miraculously, are manga and anime. Thus the new world has come to worship anime characters.
reddit.com[WP] You became a dungeon core/lord of a fantasy world. Here, anyone who dies inside just gets sent back out. You have so many battlefields to design from your past life: Nagazora City, Amphoreus, Reach, Cadia, Yavin-IV, Argent D'Nur, Lothric, Yharnam, etc.
reddit.com[WP] Your nation is a centralized materialist authoritarian regime. The laws are strict but very clear. Effort is rewarded. Talent is placed wherever it is needed regardless of what the person wants. But refugees flock to your nation, because the other nations are ruled by despots.
reddit.com[WP] Across the multiverse, humans are seen as weak. Not as numerous as the undead or zerg, not as technologically advanced as the machines, not as magically adept as the fae, not as long lived as the elves, not as strong as the giants. Until the discovery of the Cultivation Plane.
reddit.com[WP] One of the major roadblocks of multiversal empires is that each universe has different ratios for Science and Mystery, Mystery being non-scientific things. Just like how DnD has higher Mystery than Game of Thrones, or how All Tomorrows has higher Science than Star Wars.
reddit.com[WP] Your superpower is strange. Your combat movements feel out of place compared to how everyone and everything else moves. And then you watch an anime and that's when it hits you. Your superpower is moving and fighting like a shounen anime fighter.
In Western animations, particularly superhero animations, the combat feels slow compared to, say, anime fight scenes. That inspired me to post this.
[WP] "Everyone, the Empire of Earth has fallen. We will die. We will fade away, as our enemies arrive at the gates. But the root information of humanity and Earth has spread throughout the multiverse, so by another form we survived." The answer to why the multiverse is filled with humans.
reddit.com[WP] The Evolution Virus created the zombies, as well as granted sapience to much of the plants and animals of Earth. Its a three-way racial war between humanity, zombie-kind, and animals and plants, that gets interrupted by an external invader.
reddit.com[WP] When humanity discovered aliens, we expected understanding. Instead, we just felt more alone. Every other species in the universe is so different in culture, ethics, form of communication, values, physiologies, and even technologies that effective communication is impossible.
reddit.com[WP] The Galactic Imperial Confederation is a mess politically, militarily, and technologically. It is a feudal state with varying banners, allegiances, tech levels, miltary strengths, alliances, and economies. But any extragalactic invader quickly finds out that it works against invasions.
Based off of a combination of Star Wars Galactic Republic + Warhammer 40,000 Imperium of Man + Dune Imperium political governance.
[WP] You are a part of a normalcy and containment organization, just like the SCP Foundation. Your organization connects to different worlds, with different standards for normalcy, with different anomalies.
reddit.com[EU] (Honkai: Star Rail + SCP) You didn't want the cosmos to live in fear that the world would make no more sense, that normalcy falls away. You practiced Containment, until you ascended to be the Aeon of Containment. Secure, Contain, Protect, until the universe reaches finality.
This probably isn't gonna get a lot of attention due to Honkai: Star Rail being obscure compared to say, Star Wars, Star Trek, or Warhammer 40,000, and the SCP Foundation as a fiction is more popular than that (at least on this sub) but not as popular as mainstream titiles, but I just wanted to post this.
[WP] The psionic tide allowed for the further evolution of Earth's life. Not just humans developing superpowers, but also insects forming biotechnological hiveminds, animals forming individualistic alliances, and plants forming symbiotic empires. Earth now has more than one civilization.
reddit.com[WP] A long time after humanity disappeared from Earth, the planet awakens. It misses its children who utilized its metals, who created and did things both wondrous and terrible, who considered it their mother.
Based off of the sapient planets in fiction, like Ego from Marvel, Hellstar Remina, Gaia from Nasuverse, and Mutualistic Intelligence empires (Wilderness origin) from Stellaris.
