It Begins

I. Introduction
In the beginning, Religion says that god created the universe. Science says that it was the big bang. Both are correct and incorrect. For in the beginning, there was a singularity from which all life was formed. A single space, infinite in size and filled with an immeasurable number of possibilities. And from this space came the world we know today, forged by the champions' hands as they saw fit.
Though our universe did begin from this single point, it is not where time first began. Before this first space was created, there was another. The universe in which your parents ruled before their creations turned on them and killed every last one of their brothers and sisters with which they had created their universe with. Your father and mother however were powerful enough to defeat their creations and begin the development of a new universe, however they lacked the will and abilities necessary to recreate their universe in the way that they saw fit. So with a final wish of hope, from the death and destruction of this previous world, you and your siblings were created.
Shortly after your creation and ascension into self awareness, your parents forced you into an infinite and timeless universe without direction. Your goal? To accumulate the powers necessary to create and rule your own universe alongside your siblings. The means by which you'll come into these powers is... well... a bit on the darker side. To finally grasp this right which you were given at birth, you must take the rights given to your brothers and sisters. In a massive, bloody battle you must kill your siblings and take from them their hopes, dreams, and aspirations, but most of all their Right to create and rule.
II. How Will It Work
You will create a character who is in possession of a single right. All charactes will be humanoid in shape, but can be any sort of creature so long as it maintains that form. For example you could be a slime, a giant, a lizard-man or anything else with a humanoid shape. If you have any questions as to whether or not something classifies as humanoid, just ask.
After creating this character, you will give them a Right. A Right is a power like a simple element, a concept or an idea. Fire, water, and electricity are examples of elements, while darkness, light, and time are concepts. Ideas are relegated to NPCs, and are significantly more powerful than any other Right due to them potentially overlapping with some other Rights by nature. These NPCs will not be openly available for you to fight at the beginning, but towards the end of the RP they will make an appearance. As you choose your right, you should also decide how it manifests. If your Right is fire, do you become it or simply control it? If you control it, is it bound to your mind or to your arms, legs or various orifices?
At the beginning of the RP I'll make up a short list of roughly twenty Rights. The characters to which they belong are up to you to expand upon if you'd like to. If you find a power you like but dont' necessarily care for it to be on your character, then you might decide to approach that person and make them into an ally. As you defeat and take Rights from other characters and potentially characters - if both PCs are sure they're ready to go down that dark road - your Right will manifest and consume theirs, adding it into itself. There will be certain Rights down the line which will function somewhat differently than the regular Rights, but when they appear I'll give a quick explanation. Also, let it be known that for every Right that is taken over by a PC, another Right is taken by an NPC. NPCs will continually scale with PCs so that no one is ever left at an apparent disadvantage. However, if you've come to control an NPC you will be responsible for acquiring Rights for them as well.
The battlefield is always up to your discretion. The world as it currently is has no map, but is a fluctuating and ever-changing point in space. One second you may look beside you and see a vast ocean, and the next you may see of an endless desert. This world currently is made up of the memories of your parents and the last fragments of the reality that they had created together.
