The barriers between realities and dimensions are not as stable as you would like to think. Sometimes there are stray openings that debris and people fall into, or walk into, or open up themselves for their own reasons. The rules of different dimensions are never quite the same as one another either. Someone who is quite powerful in their home reality may find themselves substantially overpowered in this world, while others may discover abilities they never even know they could achieve. Such is the risks and rewards of crossing dimensions. Whether they came of their own volition or entirely on accident, you can expect that they will be changed in some way.
Orenda is a large continent in the middle of a feudal age. Many small kingdoms litter across the land, some with impressive castles and strong walls, others that are far more modest. The usual suspects are in this fantasy world. Elves, Dwarfs, Orcs, and humans are the natives of this world, as is the case with many of these types of dimensions. However, because the barriers between it and other realities are so flimsy in some parts, there are strange creatures, people, and technology that occasionally integrates into their society. Legends still speak of the "black demon" with the long head and how it's blood was like acid. Or of the strangely dressed person calling himself a Captain of a "Starship" called Enterprise.
Whether your goal is to integrate and adapt to this new world, or find your way back to your own dimension, there is definitely adventure to be had here.

This is a multi fandom rp. Most any character is absolutely welcome. However, as you may have discerned from the teaser above, it is going to be a bit more complicated than just transferring the character from their respective world into the Feudal fantasy world of Orenda.
Mechanically speaking, this is an in canon way of nerfing super powerful characters and bringing everyone to a more even playing field. However there is a bit more to it than that.
Your characters will remember and know they had those abilities before, so not having them or having a severely weakened version of them will be an adjustment for them. I'll go into generals of how this is going to work here.
Characters who don't have powers and just are highly skilled: These types of characters will have the relatively easiest time adjusting. They will still have to learn how this world works and some of their skills may not be applicable in a society without advanced technology, but they will have an early lead in terms of usefulness. They also can learn the native magic if they so desire.
Characters who's powers are magic/mystical/spirit/ki/chakra/ect: The rules of magic, ki and the like are different in this world than they are where the character comes from. It will be like gradually learning a new language that is vaguely familiar to them, but they have to learn how to get over their proverbial severe accent (if that makes sense). This translates to a character being back to where they started, but they will learn under training easier than others.
Characters who are Mutates/Mutants/Super heroes/Comic book types: This will be on more of a case by case basis depending on their powers. I will say learning native magic that is functionally similar to their original powers will be easier for them to train. I have ideas for more popular choices that people tend to pick, so feel free to choose from this roster.
This is all in very broad terms. The basic goal is to have everyone start pretty much powerless. The characters personalities and how they would react to this vulnerable situation is what I'm going for here, not so much who can overpower who.
Characters who have technological weapons/super armor/ect: These technologies will likely not survive the crossover into this reality. They will be disabled and fried to the point of uselessness. If the person has the skills to make such tech however, they'll find a way to rebuild. If they are just a pilot, they may find their skills can be applied to types of magic.
On the topic of OC's: I'm less interested in these than I am with bringing in characters from various media. For one thing, if I do not know who the character is I can look them up and get a gauge on their powers, skills and such. It is not an outright no, but I would need the kind of hard and detailed information on this oc as I would get with a google search of a character from various media. Try to aim for canon characters first before we try for ocs.
"good" characters preferred: Not saying you can't pick a grump or an anti hero, but keep the alignment scale towards the good end. Morally Grey areas and ideological differences can be plenty enough to spark a fight without someone being outright evil.
Pick someone you think you can play in character as much as possible: Don't just pick someone who is super powerful (not that it matters much anyway in this context). Pick someone you know well enough that you think you can naturally write their dialogue or know how they would react to a situation.
