Setting
There are many dimensions, or universes, in the multiverse. However, these generally never interfere or even come into contact with one another. And most people wouldn't know they even existed. Also, when soemone dies, they may sometimes be transported to one of these other worlds and reincarnated- generally with little to no memories of their past life. Sometimes signs of other universes leak into one another, but seldom are considered anything more than fairy tales and stories. However, this is not always the case.
There exist a set of "roaming" dimensions that occasionally drag beings from their home universes upon their mortal death, and place them on an inter-dimensional journey to a new universe. These beings find themselves first in a small globe of white light, through which there are several portals, each one leading in a specific direction; one leads down, one leads up, two lead to either side, one leads forward, and one leads backward. This place is called the Atrium. Upon their arrival, their are greeted by a deep, echoing voice from all directions, which states "Choose your travel, for it will hold your next destiny."
Once they even start to move in one of these directions, they are sucked into another dimension, known as a transition universe. They are typically small- no bigger than a small planet, but they are one giant maze through which the individuals must travel in order to escape to a new home. But it's not so easy; not only are there many traps and various threatening creatures, but the laws of physics can change slightly without warning in some areas. And if the travellers are killed, they reincarnate back where they were first born into the transition universe.

Various Info
There are some various facts you should know:
>Even if players are in different worlds, there will occasionally be places where beings in the different trans-dimensions can communicate with eachother.
>Players can have any background at all from their previous universe. Any at all! It's just that here, it won't matter. At least, not physically. This means they could have previously been a wizard, a great swordsman hero, a king, a space trooper, a scientist, a U.S. soldier, a Soviet spy, or just a typical modern-day teenager! It doesn't matter! You'll find out in the next fact.
>Your character will no longer neccessarily have the same body they had in the previous universe. (they can, but then they might not) But most importantly, they won't have any special powers or anything. They'll be forced to make do with whatever special tools and items they may find on their journey... as well as eachother.
>I will be controlling most of the scenery, badguys, and other NPCs myself, but you are free to make a few things up along the way, so long as there isn't obviously something else going on, and it doesn't interfere with the grand scheme of things. Also, I'll let you know when you come accross the exit to the world, so don't try posting about it yourself.
