Chaos Collision/Old Version 1

Chaos Collision is an umbrella action role-playing game developed by Lone Planet. Taking inspiration from Xenoblade Chronicles, Astral Chain, and Kingdom Hearts, it takes place in the same universe as its sister project, Synchronized Souls, albeit with a very different cast of characters overall.
The main theme for the game is "Unnatural Selection", by Muse.
==Characters==
===Main===
Seiko Howard 	
A Legionis officer cadet turned war hero, hailing from an enclosed futuristic city known as The Ark. After fighting alongside their sibling Akira and defeating the malicious alien Chimeras who brought death and destruction to their world, Seiko Howard went out on a mission to explore the greater universe, gathering a group of fellow space-time jumpers along the way. Together known as the Delvers, they scour even the most remote regions of the Exalian Realms in search of artifacts of the past. Seiko packs a lot of strength with the help of Legions they've joined forces with, able to handle multiple enemies at once as they both traverse through the area, connected by a chain that strengthens their bond.
Being a customizable character, Seiko's appearance and gender can be chosen by the player before the game begins, and you have the option to give them a different name as well. Alternatively, you can link your Nintendo account and a copy of Astral Chain to import a protagonist you have already made.
Inori AizawaArt by Rong-Rong.	
Inori Aizawa is a former member of the Mysterious Five Organization, a team of five heroes who defended multiple worlds in a reality that has now become a fractured dreamscape, a hollow shell of what it once was. As one of the survivors of this strange apocalypse, Inori has departed with her close friend Chuck D. Head and joined the Delvers on their journeys. She is a relaxed, level-headed type, but would rather not talk about her past adventures too much, believing that it's best to let the past fade away and move forward. Her fighting style focuses on a microchip connected to her brain, which allows her to generate holographic "windows" and use them as weapons or shields.
Chuck D. Head 	
Chuck, a headless mummy, and Head, his skull-shaped companion, are an inseparable pair and cooperate as if they were a single entity. Chuck D. Head was an experiment created by the mad doctor Francisco Entz Stine (more commonly referred to as Frank N. Stine) to save his world from the dreaded Max D. Cap, and after a failed attempt at a humanization experiment, he became Inori Aizawa's closest friend and a founding member of the Mysterious Five before the Mysteriousverse eventually died out. He has since joined the Delvers with Inori, but unlike his friend, he feels tormented by his past and constantly ponders over what he could have done better. Despite this, he continues to fight as hard as he always has, looking for an answer to his internal struggles.
Falco "Revali" Lombardi 	
A former member of a team of interplanetary star pilots and a skilled archer at heart, Falco "Revali" Lombardi left his home world behind due to rising tensions between him and his old friend, Fox McCloud. He has since joined the Delvers, seeking a new way to put his skills to the test. Cocky and sometimes arrogant, Falco can be a pain but he cares deep down. He often attacks enemies from afar with his custom-made bow and a laser pistol he's held onto for a long time.
Peni Parker 	
A bright young student of an advanced academy and a skilled technician, Peni Parker took on her responsibility as the driver of the Sp//dr mech after her father's death and joined a legion of other heroes like her to protect the massive Spiderverse from certain destruction. After returning to her own dimension and doing some of her own hero work, she met the Delvers and joined them to see if she could find other interesting gadgets to work with. Peni tends to focus a lot on her work, but she is overall fairly optimistic and willing to help out whenever it's necessary. She acts as the Delvers' medic, but won't hesitate to call up Sp//dr and act as the brawler.
Silver Sonic 	
Silver Sonic is a robotic counterpart to the bold speedster Sonic the Hedgehog, built by Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik to take him down. He was later scrapped by Eggman and replaced with the technologically superior Mecha Sonic, and eventually the sleek, modern Metal Sonic. Silver Sonic was picked up and upgraded by the Order of Noir and enlisted to assist them in their goals, but he was treated horribly by the Order and eventually surrendered to the Delvers. They took him in and granted him a place and a purpose, but he will never forget what his old masters -- both Eggman and the Order -- did to him. Silver Sonic, often nicknamed "Silvo" by his teammates, is a brutal warrior and always prepared to release his anger, but fortunately knows the difference between his allies and enemies. He is usually the one to make the first move in a battle, showing no mercy for anyone who gets in his way.
===Supporting===
Queen Garnet 	
Garnet, a fusion of a Ruby and Sapphire couple, has always believed that even the darkest hearts could find love if they searched hard enough. This was true during the days of war between the Diamond Authority of Homeworld and the Crystal Gem rebellion, and it remained true in the new era of peace between the two sides that came afterwards. She has since retired from her warrior duties, moving on to the worlds beyond in search of new opportunities to spread her optimistic will to those who need it, and she is now hailed as the queen of the Pulse Kingdom, an almost utopian society of passion and TLC.
Samus Aran-BelmontArt by Robaato.	
In a warped reality known as Rantaloupe, Dame Samus Aran-Belmont was the First Knight of the Chozo Order and a commander of the armies of an undersea land ruled by a mermaid version of Palutena. Like its parallel counterpart, the Mysteriousverse, Rantaloupe was lost in a dust of apocalyptic wreckage, leaving Samus one of the few survivors of the incident. She now resides in the Pulse Kingdom and serves Queen Garnet as a top general in her army, but one other goal remains on her mind: to hunt down the Space Pirates and the current incarnation of Dracula, wherever they might be, just like her Aran and Belmont ancestors have done for centuries.
Reimu Hakurei 	
Reimu is the current maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, one of a long line of maidens who have guarded the shrine and the deity who resides in it. She doesn't speak much of her past except that her parents went off on a crusade and left her behind when she was young, leaving her an orphan after their death. She has grown kinder and more sympathetic with others over time, and believes that every living creature has a heart of its own -- but she still won't hesitate to attack an intruding Youkai within the boundaries of the Hakurei Shrine. Reimu expresses a "fight first, think later" attitude and makes her judgements by pure instinct, which has led the people of Gensokyo to distrust her and the shrine, much to its god's chagrin.
Deku 	
Ever since he was a child, Iizuku "Deku" Midoriya dreamed of being a great superhero like his inspiration, All Might. Despite not having a Quirk at birth, he would do anything he could to reach his goal -- even if it meant getting a little too close to the action to take notes on Quirk battles. However, when he learned the secret of All Might's strength -- a unique Quirk known as One For All -- he was miraculuously chosen as the next heir to his power, which has been passed down through several generations of heroes over the years. Although he initially had difficulties adjusting to the raw strength of his new Quirk, Deku kept practicing and has found ways to use it without causing too much damage to his body. As a student of the famous UA Academy, a school for heroes in training, he continues to improve on his fighting skills and even faces off against some villains along the way.
===Antagonists===
Croix Meridies	
Croix Meridies, a former student of the Luna Nova witchcraft academy, is the commander of the Order of Noir, an independent military force who plots total control of the galaxy. She is currently after the Chaos Emeralds, artifacts associated with the energy of the fallen god Annihilus, believing that his power can bring order back to a universe suffering from violence and turmoil. The Order's plan is to intentionally manipulate the people of the galaxy to bring out their strongest negative emotions, sparking the energy of the emeralds to awaken demons associated with said feelings.
Rex Dangervest	
Radical Emmet X-Treme "Rex" Dangervest, an alternate future version of former Mysterious Five member Emmet Brickowski, had been abandoned for several years, left to rot in the dark depths of Anti-Space. It was apparently a story arc planned out by young Finn with LEGO toys, but he seemed to know that and planned out the destruction of his world to an extent that not even Finn himself anticipated, having accepted his miserable existence as mere plastic. Eventually, Emmet of the present time chose not to fall into the same emotional trap Rex did, and he seemingly ceased to exist... until the Mysteriousverse fell into its dreadful apocalypse like Rex himself had initially tried to push his world into. Realizing that he now has a more free will than ever before, he has joined forces with Croix Meridies and the Order of Noir, acting as an "agent of deception" to do her dirty work.
The Negation 	
The Negation goes by many names. Oiram, Cinos, Llabmug, Nlocnil, Adlih, Reppid, Nevele, Ironi... basically the name of any character you can think of, but backwards. Every time its negative color scheme is visible to the people around it, it serves as a reminder that no one is perfect, and their dark side is always lurking deep within their soul. It exists solely as the polar opposite of anyone it chooses to take the form of, but tends to prefer some names over others because it doesn't like sounding too eldritch-y. The Negation has chosen to work with the Order of Noir with the intention of providing a negative clone army for Croix and her followers, seeking to use the deepest, darkest secrets of their enemies against them. However, it sees the line between "good" and "evil" as a human construct and will just as easily turn on the Order if it deems they have gone too far.
Zero 	
A Maverick who was hunted down after going on a streak of violence, Zero found refuge within the Order of Noir, with Croix putting him to work as the group's enforcer. While emotional at times, Zero retains his original purpose as a cold-blooded killing machine, determind to serve the intentions of the Order and exact revenge on those who have opposed his might.
==Gameplay==
Chaos Collision is an action role-playing game in which Seiko Howard, accompanied by up to three allies, ventures through the world battling enemies and making their way through the story. Combat takes place in real time and the player can move freely around the area, choosing targets to attack with their weapons and abilities. Chaos Collision takes a distinct path in terms of character archetypes with a job/vocation system inspired by the likes of Dragon Quest and Bravely Default, which allows the player to adapt to a vocation early on in the story and gain additional skills over time, unlocking sets of sub-vocations they can pick and choose from, incorporating abilities from their choices into their existing moveset.
Combat itself is akin to both the Kingdom Hearts series and Xenoblade Chronicles, in which hack and slash gameplay is combined with the skillful use of abilities and Summons to turn the tide. Summons allow for powerful figures to aid you in battle, but must be obtained by defeating said characters in a battle and proving your worth to them. As you fight enemies, your allies will fight alongside you, and they can be controlled by the CPU or other human players. Any CPU allies can be asked to perform specific actions via the Ally section in the pop-up Command menu.
===Controls===
Controls are listed in the default control scheme provided when you first boot up the game, and apply to all platforms unless otherwise stated. Custom input layouts can be set up and added by the player, and the Steam and Epic Store versions of the game allow the use of a mouse and keyboard as well as console-based controllers.

==Specializations==
Within Chaos Collision, there exist multiple Specializations that act as the game's "class system" for the Avatar. Up to five of them can be equipped at once along with one Base Specialization, each of them granting two abilities, preferred and disliked weapons, and two passive traits. Each Specialization has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you'll need to skillfully plan which ones you want to use. In a way, you make your own class in Chaos Collision.
Specializations are learned in multiple ways.
*Several Specializations are rewarded as part of the story.
*Specialization Manuscripts can be looted from enemies and treasure chests, and teach you that Specialization.
*Some NPCs will teach Specializations for a fee.
*Some Specializations are sidequest rewards.
===Base Specializations===
Base Specializations essentially define the base class you play. While they have no major disadvantages, they don't have much in the way of major advantages. Use them to help build your character.
===Sub-Specializations===
Sub-Specializations are the non-Base specializations in the game, and up to five can be equipped. However, they tend to have more disadvantages, but greater advantages.
==Sectors==
Within the universe of Chaos Collision, there lies many worlds the Delvers will visit, grouped within Sectors.
Endgia 	Origin: Minecraft/Fire Emblem
An ancient civilization spread across the universe, Endgia is inhabited by the Enderman race. Many of them are part of the mysterious Shulkerleal clan, which is dedicated to reawakening the ancient Ender Dragon. However, rumors speak of a warrior storming their lands with a single shoulderpad and an upwards sword-throwing technique.
Galactic Empire	Origin: Kirby/Star Wars/Batman
Once a prosperous republic, Chancellor Palpadede created the Galactic Empire after he and his apprentice, the mysterious Darth Galaxia, purged the Jedi from it. From there, he'd tighten his grip over the territories he held, with his Stormtrooper Dees ensuring that his reign goes unopposed.
Despite all of this, Wayne Enterprises remains a prominent organization within the Galactic Empire from its headquarters on Coruscant. Recent rumors however have spoken of a caped crusader taking out Stormtrooper Dees in the Coruscant underworld, one shrouded in black.
Hyrule 	Origin: The Legend of Zelda/Splatoon/Team Fortress 2
A wasteland full of junk, machinery, and ruined buildings, Hyrule is a technological landscape warred over between two factions: Mann Co., led by the enigmatic, strong-armed businessman Ganaxton Hale and his robot armies, and the Inkling resistance movement led by Link, a silent, yet powerful warrior. The Inklings simply desire a place to call home, while Mann Co. needs space for its industrial developments, more specifically a mission to send the monkey Poopy Joe to the Moon. Why you ask? Nobody knows.
==Bosses==
Ender Dragon	Origin: Minecraft
Sealed away by the Endermen of years old, the Ender Dragon remained imprisoned on the world known as the Junkyard until the Delvers stumbled upon its nest. Filled with raw End energy and nothing but a lust for violence, it may be more than they bargained for.
The Ender Dragon is the game's first boss, but is still quite a challenge. Its attacks primarily consist of firing purple fireballs onto select spots on the ground, flying through your party, and summoning Shulkers to defend itself.
==Trivia==
*The overall aesthetic of Chaos Collision was designed as a parallel to the world of Synchronized Souls.
**While Synchronized Souls is primarily based around a retro '80s movie aesthetic inspired by Stranger Things, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the works of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, Chaos Collision adopts a notably more futuristic, cyberpunk style, with plenty of influence coming from the likes of Astral Chain, Gurren Lagann, and Space Patrol Luluco.
**This is also shown in the game's soundtrack, which primarily consists of modern electronic music, whereas Synchronized Souls is mostly backed by old-school tunes inspired by Star-Lord's Awesome Mixtapes in the Guardians movies (albeit with some '90s/2000s hip-hop, pop, and metal to match up with Deadpool, Panty & Stocking, and Spawn, respectively).
