Labrynth
Welcome to the Labrynth, dear fellow. Yes, yes I understand It can be quite confusing at first, what with you being new and all. But luckily for you, I’m here to help you out! You can call me Old Man Caw. You see this here is Junction City, the greatest city there ever was, though some say there a better ones in some of the realms, but they don’t know what they’re talking about. Sorry about that, I tend to go tangents sometimes..
Anyway lets get you started on the basics shall we, you see the Labrynth in simple words is a maze of epic proportions, infinite actually. But thats not all, you see it has a will of its own, its a living thing, and its always growing. Not two parts of the Labrynth are ever the same, In one place the Labrynth might be a series of floating stones in the midst of a void, or it may be a like a normal maze in others, In another it may look more like extensive cave system. I have feeling that it loves thinking up all kinds new weird kinds mazes and such. For example do you know there's actually a corridor somewhere that’ll let travel back in time as you go along it!
However that's not all, sometimes Labrynth will form Realms, essentially bits of it that are so large that an entire civilization can develop inside it and never realize that there is a Labrynth around them. You can find all sorts of interesting things out there, all you need is bit of adventure in you spirit, a dab of courage, a touch of wit and last but not least some friends to share it with!
Though I must tell that not all of the Labrynth is cute and docile. Unfortunately, during its creation a bit of corruption seeped into the Labrynth. Most of us call it the Shadow these days, since we don’t actually know what it is. Well anyway this Shadow is a pesky thing, it goes about perverting parts of the Labrynth, and turning them into dungeons designed to cause the optimal amount of pain to whomsoever has the unfortunate luck of stepping into it. Though If you do come across one I have some sound advice for you.

Junction City
Now that I’ve given you the run through to the Labrynth, Let me introduce you to our beloved city, which for all intents and purposes will probably be your home for some time .For the most part you can consider Junction city to be pretty much the center of the Labrynth, although no one really knows where the actual center of the Labrynth is. Anyway, one fact is true, that nearly all pathways within the Labrynth touch upon the city at least once…
Unlike other cities, which you can find in the Realms,Junction city is formed straight out of the Labrynth. Now don’t ask me why or who made that happen, cause I have no clue, just be happy it did happen. I can tell you one thing, theres more than enough adventure within the city itself to last an entire lifetime.
You can find all sorts in the city, from cave men to cyborgs, knights to pirates, aliens and zombies, and many other things in between. You can probably find a sample of every kind of denizen to call the Labrynth home. However this makes governing the city rather hard, not that there really is much of a government within the city. Heh, no ones crazy enough to take up that kind of responsibility. More or less each part of the City is run by a variety of powers, and not all of them good, not all of them bad, and some simply beyond the concept altogether. All these powers together run the city together in a kind of ramshackle agreement called the Understanding.
Though its not like everything is alright and dandy, due to the city’s rather eclectic approach to governance, law and order can be quite fluid at time, and all kinds of nonsense goes about on the streets,still at least we can always be sure that Junction City is always lively

The Realms
Ahh so wish to know abit more about the realms eh. I’m no definitive guide on the subject but I can tell you about the few that I have had the pleasure or the displeasure of visiting. Mind you I have only been to a marginal fraction of the realms about the Maze, and their are many more each unique in its own right. Anyway lets begin shall we…
First Lets go to the Stellarelm, A very funny place, if you ask me. The people over there have all kinds of technology, and boy do they love to play around with it. I bet Stellarelm would have been a brilliant place to be, if only the fellows their weren’t so childish. I understand they have a great passion for science, and have done great things with it as well, but they have a tendency to go overboard. I mean fitting an irate butler robot with a plasma grenade is simply asking for trouble. Theres always an explosion somewhere or the other in Stellarelm, though it does make the night sky pretty…
Then we have the beautiful land of Valiantrelm, with its shining castle’s and emerald rolling hills, its fair maidens and proud knights in shining armor. A very nice place to vacation, I myself go there every once in awhile. Though I suggest that you avoid it during winter time. since thats when the beasties start propping out from the snow and slowly forming up into the annual horde, to plunder the pastures and all that. You might even find a dragon or two in the mix sometimes. Of course the knights absolutely love winter, after getting bored the silly tournaments, jousts and other such competitions with one another, they get a chance for lasting glory and such. Those knights can turn out to be a right crazy bunch sometimes...
Before I continue I must warn you, never and I mean NEVER trust a fairy. You never know when you’ll find yourself a hundred years later licking some troll’s boot. Enter the strange realm of the fairy kind, Sithrelm. A very tricksy place it is, full of all kinds of magics and fae creatures, the landscape is much like a dream, always changing, half illusory and half real. Its probably a good idea not to go there is all I’m willing to tell you about it.
Of Course I must mention the metropolitan Gaearelm, not as technologically advanced as Stellarelm perhaps, but that doesn't mean it is in any way inferior. Given that the architects of the realm have a much better artistic sense than those of the Stellarelm, their cities are far more beautiful, with glistening skyscrapers and elaborate parks. However possibly the most important aspect of the realm are its businessmen, the corporations of the Gaerelm are a veritable economic powerhouse. However the corporations do have tendency to get out of hands, and at times like this the League Of Super Heroes step in with their various caped crusaders, they keep the peace and make sure the laws are kept. You should give it a looksie, it is a rather interesting place, though I don’t care for the hectic lifestyles of the people there.
Finally let me tell you about a place that absolutely never should go to, Helrelm. Remember that Shadow thing I was talking about, well the Helrelm is what happens if the Shadows gets to a realm before its properly grown. Its a bad place plain and simple, it's also full of demons, a whole bunch of them. Its good thing that most demon’s aren’t smarter than a similarly sized bag of bricks, cause otherwise we Labyrinthian would be deep trouble indeed. I hope you never have the unfortunate luck to chance upon that horrible place..
Well there you go those are the places I’ve been to, though do note that these are but a few of the Realms that are found in the depths of the Labrynth. Though I do hope there isn’t another Helrealm, that would be bad…

Abilities
The best way to describe abilities, is as a descriptor for that character. They can be things about the character, or things they can do, or even specific attacks. Points can be invested in them to increase their effectiveness. Depending on the scenario, two or more abilities can be stacked on top of each other to increase their effectiveness.(Eg. Dexterity and Lockpicking)
The more general an ability is the more versatile it is, however won’t have the same effectiveness as something more specific.(Energy Manipulation Vs Energy Barrier).
Refer to the list of abilities for a few basic abilities, you are of course free to come up with your own…
