OVERVIEW

Welcome to the CV22. Something lies just beyond physical touch in this realm of understanding. Its the thunder in the sky when there are no clouds. Its the feeling that causes one's hair on the back of the neck to stand at attention for no apparent reason. Its that movement in the corner of your eye that swears it has seen something when your reality reveals nothingness - but it does exist.

The Plane of Echoes is a layer that skims the dimension of CV22 with its dimensional barriers. Due to their uncanny vicinity of existence, much of the physical foundations of the Plane of Echoes resembles that of the physical foundations of the CV22. Yet, it is a much darker place of grief and despair.

Due to the dimensional closeness, there are times when dimensions intermingle causing unknown phenomenon to many. For some unknown reason, anyone with the meta gene can see the disturbances and its inhabitants.

HISTORY

It was 1942 and the United States had just authorized the Atomic Bomb Project, known to many years later as the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Where the scientist were trying to devise a way to end the War, the project had an unattended consequence with its work with atomic particles. The energy generated from many of the test weakened the already thin dimensional barriers that existed between the CV22 and the Plane.

Everyone involved in the secret project just assumed the physical decay that began to appear within the project walls was due to the experiment itself. They did not know that they had opened a doorway into another dimension. With the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it opened more doorways into the physical realm with deadly consequences. By 1946, the initial gateway to the Plane of Echoes had been sealed and the Project had been shut down but cracks in the dimensional damn where already spreading more than they could handle.

The war had been won but life had been doomed because of it.

ENVIROMENT

The Plane of Echoes environment is the darkened shadow of the current CV22. It is always dark and dreary. The common blue and white skies of CV22 do not exist as only shades of gray and red line the sky. Where there should be rain of water, ash falls freely from above. Blight lines many of the vegetation where lush green forest and farms should exist.

CONSTRUCTS

The physical landscape of the Plane of Echoes parallels that of the CV22. All landmarks exist within its dimension. Though there is no advanced intelligent life, when a new building or even a parking lot is established within the CV22, the darkened echo of its physical manifestation sprouts within the Plane much like a weed or a tree.

Though weapons, buildings, and cars echo the existence from the CV22, there is no known fuel source to power such devices within the dimension itself.

INHABITANTS

There are no humans native to the Plane of Echoes. Inside its barriers lie what many would describe as monsters or demons capable of battle with many meta-humans

Any creature that crosses over, initially is not in phase with the CV22 dimensional properties, thus they first appear invisible or as a aberration that comes and goes, though their physical interaction fully exist. Within their own dimension, the inhabitants are fully visible, as are any outsider to the realm due to the CV22 being the prime realm of influence.

CROSSING OVER

Crossing over either way is possible. Established sites of an atomic collision will open a large enough gateway for transport either way.

Due to the many cracks in the dimensional barrier, random faults do erupt as evidence by dimensional intersection of the environment.

It has been hypothesized by the Weird Encounter Institute of Research and Development (W.E.I.R.D) that psychic travel can teleport a way into the realm though a gateway back is not established.

OOC

• The general populace of Earth is not aware of its existence and would be skeptical of it

• Destruction is allowed within the Plane of Echoes, but be aware that any damage would be reflected within the CV22 counterpart.
