Amalgamation

**Amalgamation** is a crossover universe created by Amalgamation100.

## History

Vindicates, and thus Amalgamation, was first unveiled on May 20, 2016 on Deviantart, with the very first post being a concept poster.

As of August 3rd, 2018, Amalgamation is on an indefinite hiatus.

## Setting

The setting of Amalgamation differs from many other crossover universes in that it acts as if the many universes it is comprised of have always existed as one. This leads to certain liberties having to be taken, such as sliding the events of the *Halo* series from the 26th century to the 22nd. Another example is moving the Protheans' existence back another 50,000 years, in order for them to be the Forerunners' contemporaries.

## Stories

Vindicates is the flagship story in the Amalgamation universe. It follows the eponymous organization, and is the main "plot-advancer".

Journal of an Old Rebel is a short story detailing the numerous human factions rebelling against the UNSC.

## Featured Franchises

### Major series

Series that have a large impact on the setting.

#### Halo

The *Halo* series plays an integral part in the setting. The UNSC, Covenant, and their conflict all stems from *Halo*.

#### Mass Effect

The timeline and astropolitical situation of humanity is from *Mass Effect*.

#### Alien vs Predator

The Weyland-Yutani Corporation, Xenomorphs, and Yautja are of deep importance in Amalgamation. Note that although *Blade Runner* is considered canon to the *Alien* series, it is not part of Amalgamation, due to issues with artificial intelligence in the timeline.

### Minor series

Series that have a minor effect on the setting, such as some characters or background lore.

#### Metroid

Arguably the most important of the "minor series". The issue lies in the minuscule amount of lore in the Metroid series, at least that doesn't directly relate to Samus Aran. The Galactic Federation has a rather important part in Amalgamation's astropolitics, but its not very fleshed out nature has forced much use of headcanon and fanon.

#### Titanfall

The conflict between the IMC and Frontier Militia plays a part in Amalgamation. The UNSC purchases Titans from the IMC.

#### Dead Space

Isaac Clarke, Unitology, and the Necromorphs play a role in Amalgamation. Note that only the events of the first *Dead Space* have occurred so far.

#### Transformers

*Transformers* presented here draws mostly from the *War for Cybertron* games, as well as the TV series *Prime.* This means Amalgamation is part of the Uniend universal cluster. Despite this, there are aspects taken from the Generation One continuity, as well as a *very* small amount from the Michael Bay films, namely more involvement from human militaries in the Cybertronian conflicts on Earth.

#### Marvel Comics

*Marvel* plays an integral part in the background lore of the setting. Rhodey, Stark Industries, and much more hail from *Marvel*. Most facets are taken from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though some elements from the FOX X-Men movies, the 2010-2013 TV series *The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes*, as well as the original comics themselves, are present.

#### DC Comics

The main facet taken from DC Comics is the Watchtower. The continuity that has been mostly drawn from is the DC Animated Universe, though some events are scrapped altogether, such as the Thanagarian Invasion. Aspects of others may be taken into consideration, such as the existence of Damian Wayne.

#### Star Wars

Although a massive series, the only facets of *Star Wars* shown so far in Amalgamation are the Force, lightsabers, and Mandalorian armor. As of the Age of Vindication, the current events in the galaxy far, far away are the Clone Wars. Note that the *Star Wars* universe's portrayal will primarily be from the the *Legends* continuity, with some concepts adopted from Canon.

#### Crysis

Jake "Nomad" Dunn and other Nanosuit operatives are the only aspects taken from *Crysis* so far, though the Ceph may or may not be implemented later.

#### Avatar

The events of James Cameron's *Avatar* (not to be confused with *Avatar: The Last Airbender*) have occurred. Note that the RDA has since been disbanded due to the advancement of technology, namely slipspace and mass relay travel. The UNSC may use some of *Avatar*'s vehicles on its farthest colonies, though they've mostly been phased out due to their outdated nature.

#### Assassin's Creed

The conflict in the shadows between the Assassins Brotherhood and the Templars continues well into the 22nd century.

#### Vanquish

Currently, the only aspects from *Vanquish* in Amalgamation are Sam Gideon and his ARS Suit.

#### DOOM

While only Samuel Hayden has been shown, the events of DOOM (2016) occurred in 2149.

#### Jurassic Park

The inclusion of *Jurassic Park* has led to a version of humanity with a much better grasping of genetics. Cloned animals are not a particularly uncommon sight, be it as guards on colony worlds or as pets for the exorbitantly rich.

#### Metal Gear Solid

The events of *Metal Gear Solid* play out in much the same way during the Age of Heroes, though the involvements of other parties change some events drastically, such as Captain America aiding Solid Snake during the Guns of the Patriots Incident.

#### Overwatch

The *Overwatch* team are the primary example of a metahuman team in a post-Sokovia Accords amendment world.

#### Monsterverse

Legendary Pictures' kaiju films take place during the Age of Heroes. However, some aspects from Toho's other *Godzilla* films are also present, such as the Kiryu Mechagodzilla.

#### Half-Life

The *Half-Life* universe is part of Amalgamation, though the events in the series will take place in a *much* later date. So far, only Wallace Breen and the Combine have appeared.
