The Beginning/Prologue to the prologue
Welcome to my latest quest, one which I have a feeling will actually succeed this time. Combining all my favorite elements in any type of media ever (Endless possibilities, morally good characters, important choices, etc.) took me a while, but I think I've finally created something to be proud of.
A Brief Dialogue Between Two Stoners:
Stoner A: Hey, I just got to thinking, what if-
Stoner B: Dude you've been talking for the last 10 minutes-
A: What if there were like, multiple universes?
B: That... What do you mean?
A: Like different universes where there are entirely different laws of physics, stuff like that. I think there's this thing called string theo-
B: Oh yeah man! I've heard of that. Isn't that the one where, like, the universe splits into an infinite amount of different universes for each moment of time that passes?
A: Yeah, that's the one.
B: Yeah that's cool.
A: Wait a second, if there are multiple universes that are each as real as the next one isn't that bad? Like, really bad?
B: I think it's kind of cool, like there's a universe where people can fly and shit...
A; But if there's a universe where people fly, there's also a universe where nuclear war happened. And, Oh. Oh no... That's fucked up....
B: Dude, what are you talking about?
A: If string theory is true, then free will doesn't exist.
B: Now you're not making any sense.
A: No, I'll explain it to ya. See, let's say there's one universe where I pull a gun out and shoot you. Obviously not this one, since I've made a choice not to do that. But if string theory is true, that universe is as real as this one. So no matter what I do here, there's another me doing every conceivable thing otherwise.
B: Hm, I'm starting to see your point.
A: And if every conceivable possibility is covered, then that means there are universes where every pain that can ontologically happen to a person can and does happen. All. The. Time.
B: What the fuck does ontologically mean?
A: It means... Actually, I'm not sure what it means. I think there was some priest or some other middle ages dude who used it to prove that since God is like, allpowerful, and that since an allpowerful being can do anything, they can, like will themselves into existence and they should be able to exist in reality, and... What was I talking about again?
B: I dunno, but, I just had a thought about the infinite worlds thing.
A: What is that, dude?
B: If infinite universes exist, then there exists a universe where there are guys who are powerful enough to go to other universes and rewrite their laws, and restore free will and all sorts of cool shit.
A: Cool! But what if they're bad?
B: Well there will be good guys too, right?
A: Agh, this shit is making my head hurt. Wanna nother hit?
B: Sure
What Kind of hero do you want to be?
[] The Warrior: The threats against virtue are infinite in number. You vow to fight against them all.
[] The Redeemer: Evil beings are infinite in number. You vow to find the goodness within them all
[] The Lawgiver: The problems of an imperfect world are infinite in number. You vow to solve them all
[] The Mediator: The conflicts between good beings are infinite in number. You vow to be fair to them all
[] The Prosecutor: Sins are infinite in number. You vow to punish them all
[] The Leader: Righteous causes are infinite in number. You vow to support them all.
Note: Since I have yet to run a quest that exceeds 20 pages, I want to make sure that this quest survives. As a result, expect mechanics to be fine-tuned throughout the quest.

[ ] The Warrior: The threats against virtue are infinite in number. You vow to fight against them all.

So go full-on Sayaka (Bludgeon people FOR JUSTICE!) or Madoka (Messiah-figure).
[X] The Warrior: The threats against virtue are infinite in number. You vow to fight against them all.
Bludgeon it is!

As incredibly stupid as it sounds, I sooo badly want our PC to look like Karate Kyle (the picture in the QM's avatar).

Special Game Concepts
Multiple Worlds: As you progress through your daily life, you'll have the option of unlocking a new world every week. (It does take a personal action though) These worlds are chosen by yours truly, and as such, you'll have no way of knowing what the new world is like until you've entered it. You are free to go between worlds at your leisure, and you can choose certain people to give this power to as well, although they can only transfer worlds once a week at most. Time moves at the same rate between worlds, even when it probably shouldn't, logically speaking. Also, power levels and hugely advantageous powers don't transfer. Even Goku could get his ass kicked in your world if he's not careful enough
Goals: These are long-term ambitions you give our hero. These help bring focus and clarity to the game. They can be write-ins, but I have final say over whether the goal is legitimate or not. They cannot be something you can accomplish in a single turn (1 week)
Adjustment and Management: Management replaces Stewardship and Adjustment replaces Piety, and represents the character's mental stability and acceptance of the pain and suffering that inevitably accompanies sentient life in all worlds.
Time and money Management: You don't have to pick 1 item from each category upon the turn's beginning. Instead, you pick as much as you want from each category as long as the sum of your choices' time stats is lower than your free time. Also, be careful about running out of money.
Voting For Plans, not individual options: Self-explanatory.

Pregame Goal setting
You live in a world of decay. Of course everyone knows that. It's the modern world, and instead of living in a utopia, we've polluted the planet, handed control of it over to a few rich f*!ks, and generally made a mess of everything.
So that's the situation. Now what about you?
You are Kyle Brofson, and you were just about to slit your wrists in the bathtub and end this absurdity once and for all, when something snaps. Next thing you know you have control of a muscle that all sentient beings have but never use or know about, and you know exactly what it's for. What the most ambitious meta physicists say have spent their entire lives trying to contribute 1 piece to the puzzle of interdimensional travel, you can do on a whim.
For the first time in a long time hope wells up inside of you. You feel that this is the start of something great.
But first things first.
What is your goal?
[] Strike fear into the heart of the old order: Human society is similar to nature in that it can easily rot. However, it does so more slowly. And the rot is easier to cut off and eliminate. Your first goal should be to kill or otherwise ruin 5 influential and powerful men and/or women.
[] Establish Yourself: Or maybe you should establish for yourself a solid base to gather resources from before you begin your ultimate plan of making the world a better place. You need to gain a monthly income of $100,000.
[] Save the Earth: Your ultimate goal is to bring justice wherever you find it needs it. But in order for justice to exist, there must be sentient beings with free will. And in order to do that, you need to ensure there is a place for sentient beings to live. Ensure that the world's average temperature goes down at least 1 degree Fahrenheit before society collapses.
[] Save all the Earths: Your new power means unlimited possibilites are displayed before you. It's time to start exploring them. Unlock 5 different worlds.
