The Dimensions.
It is a commonly accepted principal that there are other existences, colloquially known as dimensions. They are as far away as the depth of a shadow, as easy to see and enter as the wind. Many have tried; there are claims of accidental successes, intentional abductions; but thus far, none from this dimension have been able to punch their way into another dimension without assistance from outside of their own dimension.
Each dimension is its own level of existence. Within each, we find different stories, different dogmas, beliefs, lives. Those within their dimensions might be cognizant - or not - of each other dimension; regardless, their lives continue forward.
Imagine, then, that there were to be a thread running through multiple dimensions. Unseen, untouchable, it nonetheless shapes the very destinies of these worlds, these universes. This thread is controlled by a being - or beings - whose power transcends even the "gods" of the universes that they're controlling. In fact, even the life of those reading this very sentence could be under the control of these omni-beings.
Let us give these beings a name. These all-powerful creatures must have a name for us to begin to understand them. Let us attempt to grant ourselves the modicum of control that comes from naming something. Let us call them...the Cabal.
Now, these "Caballers" run the destinies of more than a handful of universes. Their power there is absolute. But imagine, if you will, an even greater power.
Hard, I know. A power greater than those whose power is already so fantastic. Yet it exists. For all we know, there are even greater powers, but for the purpose of our experience here together, let us simply stop imaging greater powers at this level.
The hand of the Cabal has been forced into a situation that they no longer control. In fact, they don't even retain control over the beings that they once had absolute control of. Indeed, their personal creations, their toys, have been jerked out of the dimensions that the Cabal controlled and forced into an entirely new dimension. The god there has decided to test the powers of the Cabal against their will; their creations are all being drawn into a new world, to fight until they have either proven that the Cabal is truly the strongest, or until none are left.
Welcome...to Cabal Battleworld.

So What the Hell is Going On Here?
Let's put away the philosophical discussions and metaphysical ponderings to look at the here and now: what is Cabal Battleworld?
Existing in this Guild are a group that call themselves the Cabal. The first four of us were united at the start of a roleplay called The Resurrection of the Cabal; hence the name of the group. Shortly thereafter, we were joined by another member.
From there, another of our members decided to create their own RP. The rest of us, being now comrades, decided that it was only right to join that one's RP. From there, we added more new members, before more members of the Cabal began to create their own roleplays, each adding members to the group, which perpetuated the growth of our team as more RPs were added.
So we've got a team of players, each backing the others' success with their own. They've played in more than a few RPs with each other, so we've got some pretty awesome, well-developed characters that we're proud of. The question then became, "What if they were all to meet?"
The Cabal as a group is dedicated to improving the skills of those around us when it comes to writing. So instead of a simple crossover roleplay, one enterprising, talented, good-looking, charming, witty Caballer asked, "What if they all met, and they were controlled by anyone, from anywhere? Wouldn't that be better for making people learn to write for a character?"
And what better way to force a player to really show the character than in the heat of battle? So here we are: Cabal Battleworld, where all the Cabal's characters are open for playing, and where the game is in the name: the Cabal's characters locked in battle.

Rules.
Before we can get into the fun parts of the roleplay, we have to get the serious business out of the way: the rules of the game. While I am the one writing this all down, the control of Cabal Battleworld is given to the members of the Cabal, namely:
Venom3001
Jokerman-EXE
SirBayer
Isa-Sama
NativeForeigner
Mr. Blackbird Lore
SiberDrac/iD-bracerS
That said, now it's time to see the rules that we'll be enforcing.
- Please, please, please...follow the ToS. This is a Gaian RP, therefore, follow Gaian rules.
- Keep things from getting unsavory, yeah? We like when things are real, little bits of romance, some swearing for flavor. But seriously, if things start to get out of hand, we're going to have to call a stop to it. So please, don't overdo it.
- Obey the common courtesy of RPing. We don't want to see any godmodding, autohitting/autododging, god mode, any of that garbage, unless one of us gets a PM first giving me both a good reason and some kind of consent or agreement from the other party.
- You get three strikes here. So, doing something we don't like, or something that violates these rules, will get you a warning. We will post the warning in the RP, so that everyone knows what not to do.
- This is a semi- to literate RP. Please, make use of spellcheck and use capitalization and punctuation. This also means that OOC should be in (()) or [[]]. No ** for actions either, please. The RP should be written in 3rd person past tense. (ie: Osiris ran, looking for a door. He found it and went through.)
- Please, hold off on posting at first. After one of us has read your profile and accepted it, I will send a PM giving you an entry point. This makes it easier on you, me, and all of us, so we don't have people running around randomly.
- Keep in mind: WE CONTROL EVERYTHING. While we abhor godmodding and such, if we feel that the story requires it, one of us will step in and take control of characters to as small an extent as we can manage. Keep that in mind when you join the RP. Also, these rules are subject to change, although we doubt we will need to.

The Fighters.Key to the Battleworld, of course, are the fighters. They come from a myriad of different existences, but they have already been created. As such, when choosing a character to play, you're choosing a pre-existing character, one that has already been given traits, appearances, desires, and emotions. So when you're playing them, you're going to be using the template that the creator gave for them, and that's it. Background knowledge on the following RPs is not required, though maybe seeing the character you choose in action would help you - your call. Also keep in mind that these RPs are still active, and new members are always accepted. Twenty-Seven The sequel of the original Resurrection of the Cabal. Four sides are battling to the death for control over the magical and mundane worlds: the Hunters' Coven, made up of those who dedicate their lives to fighting the forces of Legion and his Cabal; the Cabal Coalition, led by Legion and his Resurrected, who desire to control everything and shape it to their wills; the Alliance of Tyrg, who command incredible magic and technology under the highest bidder; and the Outlander Confederation, who simply want to be left alone to exist. Characters here and premise here. Blazer Drive In the world of the future, items called Mystickers have become a commonplace. They power the house, heat the water, and give power to the military. They can, however, be deadly if accidentally activated on a person. Unless, of course, that person is a Blazer: a person that can harness the power of the Mysticker to great effect, making them great warriors of either good or evil. The good, known as the Guardians, seek to stop the plans of Blazer Black, whose goal is to gather as many rare Stickers as possible and take control. Characters here and premise here. Project: EDEN A secret government experiment leaves innocent people of all ages and types with a power they cannot control. In the far future, control and anarchy battle for control of the world. These two worlds clash in a secret war that rages across the world: one side for revenge on the government that ruined their lives and left them for dead, and the other to defeat a madman that seeks to rule the world. Characters here and premise here. Riding the End Humanity has ruined Earth. They've spread out into the galaxy and come across a planet called Bell. It is inhabited by various races that have followed a similar evolutionary track as humans, and the planet itself is habitable. The inhabitants, elves as they're called, however, are not willing to share. The two sides have been locked in battle for years, and now each side has elite groups searching for what could be the decisive advantage: a man named Aeon. Characters here and premise here. Odyssey Into Madness An anonymous invitation brings together an incredibly diverse group of every day people: musicians, artists, doctors, students. The abandoned mansion, the Penfold Estate, opens to accept them, and from there, their lives are never the same. They are plunged into various mindbending trials, meet a host of characters that exist outside of our world, and generally enter Wonderland. Characters here and here, and premise here. Close Quarters Battle In the near future, the enemies of the United States and its allies have upped their game, and the new age of terrorism is ushered in. The great powers of the world decide to combine their deadliest agents into a team, known as TEAM, to counter the wave of terrorist attacks. Gifted with natural talent and cutting-edge training, this team faces challenges above and beyond standard duty without flinching. Characters here and premise here (sort of...). A War Over Peace A mysterious magnetic reaction alerts every government in the world of a new subspace fluctuation, and within a day the entire world of shadows is in a turmoil to find out what it was: hitmen, mercenaries, scientists, government agents who don't exist. Whatever it is, this strange substance, when contacted, either kills the host or grants them an incredible power. What it is, however, remains to be seen... Characters here and premise here.

Battleworld.
So there it is. The fighters are being pulled from all these dimensions, forced by a being of unimaginable power to fight each other. The world that they find themselves in is known only as Battleworld, and Battleworld is divided into Battlefields, pocket dimensions that exist almost exclusively from each other.
The Battlefields have yet to be discovered. Two pocket dimensions, however, have been discovered: first is the Meeting Hall, a huge courtyard in which stands a building that is basically just a meeting center. Bathrooms, a lobby, and a huge auditorium with a raised stage and hundreds of seats.
Second are the Dormitories. Three story boxes, with four rooms on each floor. The rooms are large and comfortable, furnished with basic home settings, with large windows and a bathroom in each dorm.
The rest waits to be discovered.
