Across Universes is a Forum Roleplay found on TV Tropes. The main story revolves around a group of mercenaries who explore the universe and take on missions from anyone willing to pay them. Unfortunately, they have to deal with each other. Witness their arguments as they attempt to do their jobs, and maybe have a laugh or two along the way. It can be found here, and signups are right here.


 * Alternate Self: Ai and Albert are both the Lone Wanderer, somehow. They even have the same backstory. At one point, they end up having an argument on who deserves the title better. Hastur notes that they have something in common, though. They'll bring about the end of humanity through various means. Albert will do it through pure stupidity. Ai will do it on purpose and replace humanity with a race of androids.
 * Badass in Distress: The group had to rescue Einar when he got stranded on Mars. Einar is a Space Marine who fought the forces of Chaos on a daily basis and survived.
 * Catgirl: Sorceress Ael, which was fitting since witches are known to have pet cats.
 * The Corruption: Einar somehow got his mind altered by the Warp when he got stranded on Mars and becomes loyal to Khorne. He even tried to kill his fellow group members.
 * Dimensional Traveler: There are plenty and the group are most notable.
 * Distracted by the Sexy: To free Einar from the corruption of Khorne, the group created a gigantic projection of a nude Asmodeus. In this case, Asmodeus is a kitsune gynoid with a lot of fan service.
 * The Dog Was the Mastermind: Sorceress Ael, the sorceress behind the manipulation of Galbadia's president, used psychic powers to disguise herself as his pet cat.
 * Dressing as the Enemy: The group successfully obtained the robes of drunken Magic Supremacy Group members and accidentally became double-agents.
 * Gundamjack: In the Huckebein arc, the group was hired by The Black Charisma to steal the Huckebein prototype before Zeon forces abuse it.
 * Headbutting Heroes: While the group can agree they must stand together to face challenges and form friendships, some just don't get along too well for certain reasons.
 * Albert and Longram despise each other due to a fighting a war in post-nuclear Washingston DC as opposing factions. However, this heated relations improved thanks to Catherine advising Longram to bury the hatchet.
 * Hub City: Terminus Station is a massive space station filled with a cosmopolitan population from all walks of life.
 * The Man Behind the Man: In the Ohm arc, Vudan Arms gave the MSG the supplies to take on the world. They stopped the MSG after the group stopped the attack on Loswell Foundation. Cami, the representative of Vudan Arms, even went on a rant on how Lyle is the most incompetent person she had the misfortune of meeting.
 * Massive Multiplayer Crossover: The main premise with some Original Generation to boot.
 * The Multiverse: The multiverse the group's in is as vast and infinite as ever.
 * New Old West: Middle of Nowhere is a western-themed town, complete with saloon and train station. What makes Middle of Nowhere unique is that it takes place on a desert planet.
 * Our Werewolves Are Different: On one of their missions, the group had to deal with an invasion of bishonen werewolf cultists who were weak to head trauma and gold.
 * Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: During the Ohm arc, Lyle revealed he was dumped by Cath in the past. He's so petty, he attempted to stage a robbery at the Loswell Foundation just to get back at her. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the power to do so and has to rely on his henchmen in the MSG, who don't even show him an ounce of respect. He even got pissed off when Asagi placed a sign with the word "HA" on it formed into crude art of Cath kissing Longram.
 * Single Biome Planet:
 * Nowhere is a desert-themed planet. The only ice that could be found is directly at the poles.
 * Cryogen and Pyrogen is a binary planet system. Cryogen is a planet completely covered in ice. There's even an ancient laboratory underneath the ice sheet. According to Imca, "[Pyrogen and Cryogren] are [part of a] terraforming experiment. All the heat from the two goes to Pyrogen like a giant refrigerator. Ever stuck your hand behind a fridge?"
 * Spin-Off: Across Universes is an action-oriented spinoff of We Are Our Avatars. Across Universes places a hardline on character powerlevels, and thus the characters have to get more creative when coming up with solutions. It also forces the character sheets to be more creative.
 * Spiritual Successor: To We Are Our Adventuring Avatars. Imca, founder of this RP, wanted to properly experience the fun of We Are Our Adventuring Avatars without all of the baggage that came from that game.
 * Square Race, Round Class: Turax is a magician who happens to be a Krogan. Krogans are known for their Blood Knight tendencies and their Super Toughness. The typical Krogan would probably go for a physical-oriented class if they happen to get stranded on a medieval planet. Then again, Turax believes that knowledge of arts is an excellent source of power, which also extends to spellcasting.
 * Traintop Battle: One of their first missions on Nowhere involve protecting precious water from bandits with partial success, another would be recusing a NOD leader from the same train filled with Mecha-Mooks.
 * Witch Species: Sorceress Ael turns Asagi into a sorceress by passing her powers on.
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: Asagi thinks she's a video game protagonist. However, this is actually a Forum RP.
 * You All Meet in An Inn: The group met at a train station in a town called Middle of Nowhere.
