"Hello, Multiverse. If you're hearing this, then something's gone horribly wrong. I've been fighting eldritch beings for years now, but this one... it bested me. And my friends... it took over them. Heh... I should'a known it'd end like this. Me, alone in a bunker... no bullets in the barrel now. I managed to kill one of the... well, I suppose they can be called drones now... could'a been a friend of mine."
"*sigh*... I don't have long to talk. I feel like I've found the key weakness, though-"

"Crap! Alright, if you're out there, listen closely! The Corruption is going to spread - I know this. It's scary, but stay calm. The Corruption is weak to-AAAAAA̧̯͈̾̾͒A̦͈͒͋!̲̙̆͡!̖͚͍̾̇͞"̧̫̤͑̍͐

Maybe someone with their radio caught this message. Maybe it just flew through a medieval setting without such technology. Either way, The Corruption is going to breach somewhere in their world, and try to take it over by any means necessary.

Welcome to "Destroy the Corruption", a Destroy the Godmodder-type game in which you all muster up the powers and characters of other universes to fight against... that. What is it? Who knows? (Me. I know. Duh.)
So, let's get on with the main rules:

So, let's get on with the main rules:
Introducing characters & universes - first posts and beyond
* When introducing a universe:
** A header should state its name (the work it's from, plus any canonical names). Examples: Downton Abbey, Pete's World (Doctor Who),
** And also its type. Examples: "City-size Urban Fantasy 'verse", "Multi-Galactic Space Opera"
** The main post itself should state a specific location where the Corruption spawns in. Examples: "the House of Commons chamber", "the planet of Teegarden's Star b".
* When introducing one or more characters:
** Obviously, you should state their name. Examples: "Wonder Woman", "Jorji Costova".
** State whatever they have on them right now. Example: "The Doctor has his Sonic Screwdriver and Psychic Paper".
** State any strengths or weaknesses that will probably become relevant. Example: "Sonic the Hedgehog has super speed".
There, that was easy, wasn't it? All you need to do is have them do an action. How?

Further actions
To make an action, you must state it with a > thingy. Just about any action can be taken to fight against the Corruption, but there will be some minor things:
* If your action would use a limited resource (ammo, gasoline, custard pies, ect), I ask that you keep track of how much of that resource your character has and will use in that action.
* It's not just attacking: you can run away, take cover, try to learn about your foe, and so on.
* If there is an element of chance, uncertainty, of anything that means that the action might not work, just state so and I'll roll a die.
* The final action a Universe can take is Capitualtion. This instantly assimilates it and all known characters in it. You may only Capitulate universes you have played in a lot, and only as a last resort. This cannot be undone.

What is the Corruption?
There isn't really that much to know about the Corruption. But what there is to know is as follows:
* If a Corruption force would kill or destroy something, it instead assimilates it, taking control of it. This applies to everything that is still recognisable, and that isn't a part of the enviroment (trees, buildings, bodies of water, the void, ect.). The enviroment is tainted with much less effort.
* The Corruption only sends out a few Drones (corrupted soldiers) per universe. The number sent out depends on the verse's scope. They are rather tough (much stronger than the average bear), but do have a few mystery weaknesses. Try everything.
* The first Drone spotted will always be a Footsoldier Drone. It's a figure in dark armour that weilds a baton and a shield.
* Any further things will be added here once people figure them out - or at least think they do.

Other rules
* Don't be too much of a jerk to other players. They already have one problem to deal with, so... don't make it un-fun.
* Don't get too annoyed if a universe you like gets assimilated - that's just how it goes.
* Any questions? Don't be afraid to ask!
