Setting Change

I must say that my idea on the setting before was total garbage, I apologize. Shadows are cool but not really what I want to go for. Instead there shall be rifts, tears in reality that appear with monsters at times!

Down with Earth Prime!

Hail Sundered Earth!

So same as before, man manipulates gravitational forces on a global scale causing massive global devastation and tearing reality. This has the effect of distorting and changing everything on the planet. In addition the various realities, or dimensions, begin to crash into one another bringing even more devastation and craziness as they all begin to merge.

At these rifts, or tears, various things will be possible. The area connected to the rift can be stabilized so that other realities stop merging with it. Or it can be agitated into eliminating the area it is connected to. You could 'jump' from one possible version of it to another and possibly stabilize that alternate version.

In addition sometimes crazy monsters emerge from these tears for unknown reasons. Some are merely demonic in appearance and behavior, destroying everything nearby only to vanish soon after. Others are even worse.

Finally when approaching the outer edge of an area there is what appears to be a barrier separating it from the others. Sometimes the barrier is weak, things can pass threw it and you can even see on the other side although it does have some distortion. Other times it is completely solid and prevents anything from passing threw it, to everything between. Just like the rifts no one is exactly sure what they are or how they function, but at times they can be manipulated.

Reality Crystals and Shards will be what are used for manipulating the rifts and barriers. They were formed when the earths were sundered and contain the very essence of reality. These will be valuable, and difficult to obtain.

I think this will work much better, all the organizations I spoke of before will still exist aside from the 'shadow' creatures.
