Re: Jumpers Rebirth
There's a pretty big story behind Jumpers... but I'll try and sum it up without being too wordy.
There are three Natural Forces in the world: Good, Fate, and Evil - personified by a form of their choice.
Good, or Gaia, as she liked to be called, looks different to whoever lays their eyes on her. She was the first force to exist, and after a millienia of nothingness, Gaia created the Gods (or Major Gods, as they're referred to sometimes). The Major Gods created worlds to impress their mother, and soon created life. Since only Gaia and the Gods existed, there was no death, and no reason to breed or reproduce.
Then, Fate 'arrived' - she was never made, or never born, like the Gods. She brought Time with her, which made the creatures age and die. Only the Gods, Gaia, and Fate herself seemed able to resist time. Fate was the odds of something happening in all Dimensions; if a storm killed a creature, it wasn't considered evil, just an Act of Fate... Mostly because Evil didn't exist at the time.
One God (or Goddess, it still isn't known), became bored with how things were going in the worlds, so they created something a little different. This thing, described as a seed, was planted in the hearts of all creatures as soon as they were born, and grew into feelings of mistrust, envy, and hate. Soon after, Evil (or Primal, as she likes to be called), arrived.
There were hundreds of millions of Dimensions at this point, and since Evil couldn't make her own worlds, she just floated out in the space between Dimensions, watching as creatures filled with evil thoughts acted on those thoughts. She was really no danger at this point, so Gaia and the Gods left her be. That's when Evil 'invaded' a Dimension with her own creations, like Vampires, Werewolves, and Trolls; the creatures of the World quickly fell, as they weren't used to combat.
Gaia worked quickly to solve the problem, along with Fate's help. Gaia put a core in the center of every Dimension - a soul to the world, as it were, and a powerful creature to guard each one, called an Omega. She crafted the Guardians and Aivas, who were granted powers of the Gods, and their own limited Immortality to combat the spread of Evil; and finally, she created Magic, and gave it to all the creatures of all the Dimensions.
Fate was to be the Neutral force in the Cosmos. She made her warriors strong, and able to stop any Good or Evil force from gaining too much of an edge over the other forces in the Cosmos. Her Silth warriors, regarded as Assassins, saw to that. Fate herself constructed the Core to every Dimension, as well as the Omegas.
Evil continually crafted new, stronger creatures from her own being, but each time it seemed to drain her even further. So she focused on two last creations: The Asesinos, who were considered to be Evil Personified, and Humans, cheap, weak monsters who could be mass produced without tiring out Evil. It was then the Dimensions began to fall, one by one, until Gaia created the Wahkis to combat the Asesinos.
After centuries of Stalemates, Primal finally broke through the 'stronghold' of Good, and destroyed the Dimension (instead of taking it over). Gaia, many of the Major Gods, and almost all of the Guardians and Aivas were in the Dimension when it fell. Without the Gods, the remaining Guardians decided to keep on their virtuous path, while the Aivas, who had always been slightly more 'loose' with their morals, changed sides to Evil. Primal rested for nearly a century then, letting the Humans loose in various Dimensions (which is why there are so many good, or neutral aligned Humans now... Damn free will)... And now, this is where our (your) Heroines come in.
Good Heroines are still confident that Gaia exists, even though she was supposedly in the Stronghold when it vanished. They're avatars at the end of the Dimension will become a God or Goddess, and help stop the spread of Evil for the time being. They follow the orders of Gaia's only remaining General, Kiera, and hope to bring back their presence in the Cosmos.
Neutral Heroines have been summoned by Fate after she witnessed their strength. They're simply testing themselves by trying to act on Fate's ever-demanding will, while trying to keep the Balance.
Evil Heroines are following the orders of Primal's first General, a cocky sure-headed man who claims to be the son of Evil. Their Avatar at the end of every Dimension also becomes a Goddess, but she taints the entire Dimension, making sure Evil quickly takes over.
