The Omegaverse Earth was totally normal and boring in the beginning. It
didn’t even have its own name until a particular object from another
universe randomly appeared, and started making changes. It’s called the
Omega Gyroscope, and it has the power to do just about anything. It can’t
alter multiversal physics, but it can change the proper physics of whatever
universe it happens to be in at the time, but only while using the original
proper physics as a foundation. Needless to say, it’s incredibly dangerous,
and probably best left unused. A not so great person was in pursuit of the
Omega Gyroscope, and in order to protect it, this person’s opponent threw it
into a portal, hoping to pass it off to someone he knew he could trust.
Unfortunately, the portal closed just as the gyroscope was crossing the
threshold, which trapped it in the outer bulkverse. It floated around
aimlessly for an infinite amount of time, before making its way to the brane
that would come to be named for it. Of course, you wouldn’t know how
powerful or dangerous the thing was if you looked at it. It’s just this
dinky little thing that was never designed to do what it does. It was a
regular toy that became imbued with its power afterwards. So it’s not like a
cabal of scientists had to get together to study the thing once it was
discovered. A random underemployed man on an urban hike after his four hour
shift stumbled upon it, and sold it at a pawn shop for a few bucks. It
changed hands several times over the years; other pawn shops, attics,
storage compartments, an antiques store, and finally a museum. The curator
still didn’t know that it had magical powers, but she felt compelled to put
it on display, and make up a story about its history. The museum was
struggling, you see, and she just needed to get people back in the doors for
the real artifacts.
Her plan did not work for the majority of the population, but the Omega
Gyroscope has a passive power that only certain people can detect. Some
people are just more in tune with their universe. They are not full witches,
and probably never will be, but they do have a greater sense of the
interconnectedness of reality. When they encounter something as profound as
the Omega Gyroscope, they know it. They don’t necessarily know why they feel
what they feel, or what it means, but it will most likely leave them with
the urge to take ownership over it. The curator’s lie was so good that the
gyroscope was heavily secured in its display case, so they couldn’t
just steal it, and run away. They conscripted a would-be cop to steal it for
them. He had a reputation for doing anything short of murder for the right
price, for not asking questions, and for getting the job done quickly and
efficiently. This job went south when his former best friend, and current
rival, went after him, and foiled the plot. He didn’t get the chance to haul
the criminal off to jail, though. The Omega Gyroscope—after all this
time—finally reactivated. It turned back time, and changed everything about
how the world would develop from there. What followed was a series of
adventures, precipitated by persistent use of the gyroscope. Different
people kept getting their hands on it, figuring out how it worked, and
rewriting reality to their whims, if only subconsciously. One of these
alterations resulted in the worst damage to a planet in any local group
universe. This forced the Ochivari to forgo the sterility virus, and engage
in total warfare. These humans had to die, and in the most violent way
possible. But they underestimated their enemy.
