Original Universe

The Original BZPB Multiverse, also referred to as the Original Universe for simplicity, was where most of the original BZPB RPG was set. It was created by The Users in Year 0 CMT, who formed it out of hundreds of different universes, including both copyrighted universes and worlds that they had previously created themselves. Due to its complex nature, it was named the "BZPB Multiverse". It was a chaotic place to live in, but remained the favoured universe of the Users until the Reckoning came about.

Once the OU was created, science did its job in creating a large number of alternate universes that stem off from the OU, some of which can be found in the template below. However, it may in fact be a splinter universe itself...

Year 0

 * User Sarge arrives a few minutes before the beginning of the BZPB multiverse, and witnesses something horrifying.
 * The Architect and the other Users create the multiverse from many pre-existing universes for a then-unknown purpose. (It later turned out that it was meant to be a giant virtual game).

Year 200

 * Caiaphus is exiled from the Matoran Universe for his illegal activities, and failure to defeat the Vrai. He flees to the Shattered Mirror Universe.

 * With the MU campaign lost, the Vrai agree to a ceasefire, and the Great Beings and the Vrai sign a peace treaty officially ending the war. In the treaty, the two species agree to abandon any territories they had annexed, and create a demilitarised zone 100 light-years wide along their borders to be administered by a neutral party.
