''X-DREAMERS'' is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover PlayByPostGame hosted on ''Website/DragonCave'' forums.

Something has happened to TheMultiverse: Worlds are crashing into each other and heroes are getting tossed out of time and into different places. In the resulting chaos, enter the e'''X'''tra-'''D'''imensional '''R'''estoration '''S'''quad ([[FunWithAcronyms XDRS for short]]).

Of course, this is all easier said than done. HilarityEnsues.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: In a multiverse, a lot of stuff just ''is''...
* AerithAndBob: Inevitable with a multiverse of people.
* AffectionateParody
* AllStoriesAreRealSomewhere
* AllThereInTheManual: Most of the information for each character is on their respective wikis, or in the case of [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]], scattered across the Discord chat. Headcanons also get used liberally, without specific mentioning of what they are.
* AlternateTimeline: Some worlds are divergences from existing worlds.
* AlternateUniverse: ...And some worlds are completely alternate versions of existing worlds.
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: While there is theoretically no limit to how many characters can go on a specific mission, all players are limited to three characters, with a much awaited fourth slot unlocking in the near future... However, the three slot restriction is open for LoopholeAbuse.

* CommLinks: A communicator is distributed to every (Veteran) agent thanks to Pascal and her AppliedPhlebotinum. They are cube-shaped and easily fit into the palm. Unfortunately, she didn't manage to deliver Yusei's in time before he left...
* DemotedToExtra: Any PC that turns into an NPC.
** AscendedExtra: Any NPC that the players get attached enough to make into permanent [=PCs=].
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight]] is the founding member of the organization, even!
* GuestStarPartyMember: Everyone piling into the fight VS Kyurem, or, more broadly, the concept of the NPC loophole.
* HealerSignsOnEarly: Averted! The dedicated healer for XDRS was conspicuously missing for the entire 'tutorial' segment as well as the first mission.
* HubWorld: The Gateway is where all the agents comeback to rest and recover.
* InterspeciesRomance
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Unfortunately, a natural result of throwing in so many different characters and media together. Unwritten rule is that if someone else is taking in the same media that relates to a person, then spoilers are kept to as low as you possibly could.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Over 50 and counting!
* LoadsAndLoadsOfSidequests: Not even counting the overarching missions and personal quests, the characters could ((and in some cases already had)): Join a [[Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy rebellion]], collect {{empathic weapon}}s, go shopping, acquire new powers, the list goes on.
* LoopholeAbuse: The aforementioned "NPC loophole," which is demoting characters to {{NPC}}s when not needed, is a way of technically owning more than three characters without going above the ArbitraryHeadcountLimit.
* {{Magitek}}
* MoodWhiplash: Sometimes
* MundaneUtility: Everyone asks [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Xander]] to use his dragon vein to terraform things for their convenience. While he hasn't made a pool for the gang yet, it's only a matter of time.
* OhMyGods: This ''is'' a multiverse, after all.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The agents are a motley group, to say the least.
* RandomNumberGod: Sometimes, the only way to make a decision is to ask a bot to choose from a list of options. Sometimes played straight when doing battle rolls.

* TitleDrop: One of the names for the XDRS. This similarity is lampshaded during Twilight's tea party.

* Unobtanium: Most of the metals in various worlds used to craft armor and weapons and things.
* UpToEleven
* WarpWhistle: Pascal's communicators have a function that sends the holder (and whoever they're touching) back to base after 7 seconds.
* WhatsUpKingDude: People forget that Xander is royalty, but it doesn't seem to mind the casual tone. Cistina might be even more egregious--AllThereInTheManual states that she's part of the clergy, but apart from her haughtier tone of voice, she acts like any other agent would to the point of needing to remind herself how to act like nobility for a ruse.

!! Mission arcs provide examples of:


[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Prologue: "Tutorial"]]

* ExpositionDump: The Tea Party, when Twilight gives an overview of the problem concerning the multiverses crashing into each other, how to prevent that from happening, and what the XDRS's goals are. More condensed versions are given in-character to anyone that appears at the gateway.
* FishOutOfWater
* MiniBoss:Duke tries to be one just to "test out the capabilities of the newcomers". He generates a maze with invisible walls and challenges them to solve it, but only Twilight and Light actually attempt to solve it while everyone else is too busy thinking how stupid the whole situation is.
* UFriendOrFoe:For Duke's efforts, a battle-happy bot takes a long detour to try and pull a DungeonBypass, only to miss the end of the "Miniboss" and the subsequent ExpositionDump. When she finds him again, despite technically being on the same side, she happily stabs him because she was sure the "fight" was still going on.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mission 01: Ash and Sand]]

Set in the city of Luthadel, from [[Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy Mistborn: The Final Empire]], the agents are tasked to secure an anchor that generates dangerous sand all while navigating a dangerous world of downtrodden people, deceitful nobles, and an oppressive tyrant.

* CrapsackWorld
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: In the beginning of the mission, Duke and [[VideoGame/TacticsOgre Cistina]] take the time to debate about inciting rebellion among the [[Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy Skaa]] because of the terrible conditions they see around them. Amusingly, both of are {{wide eyed idealist}}s, but with different ideas of what constitutes as right.


[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mission 02: The Otherworldly Bazaar]]

Pascal needed to get some spare parts from [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts Cid]] and get some food for all the exciting new people, and she thought it would be a good idea to bring everyone along for a shopping trip.

* BazaarOfTheBizarre
* BalefulPolymorph: One effect of the Cat Box is that it turns everyone who touches it into a cat or a cat person. Anders is stuck in ShapeshifterModeLock.
* {{Cameo}}: Many, many characters from all different media show up, if only briefly, in the many creatures mingling in the market.
* GlobalCurrency: Conveniently, all the vendors at the market accept Galactic Pixels, the unified currency originating from [[VideoGame/Starbound Starbound]]. They also are open to bartering other items.
* MoodWhiplash: The characters get scattered throughout the Black Market with little to no idea of what anyone not in their group is doing. As a result, you could see tense fighting juxtaposed to silly fluff, sometimes within the same post.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Aeolus runs off after hearing a Kyurem's telepathic voice.
