World Information: Inactive Worlds
Different worlds impose their own limitations on a character's abilities and even basic form. Each world has natural limitations that are absolutely imposed on visiting agents. In other words, their world, their rules.
There are four categories when explaining how a world works. "Ability Changes" explain how a character's powers change in the world. For example, in the Bleach world, a character's powers will take the form of a zanpakutou with it's own sentience and in the world of a Gundam series, powers will take the form of a giant mecha. Players are free to decide how their powers are altered in any given world, but once the decision is made they cannot change it.
Note that characters who lack abilities or are otherwise ordinary in one world do not gain abilities in other worlds. Since just about every world has an "ordinary person," if you are regular in one world, you are regular in every other world. The exception to this is characters with a giant mech or monster companion, they gain the powers of their mecha or favorite companion or companions in other worlds (in general, a character cannot import too many abilities from one world to another if they have a wide variety of things to choose from, such as Summons in Final Fantasy or Pokemon). If the world has a requirement of supernatural abilities built into it, such as The World from the .hack games where everyone has a class, the character gains the bare minimum to exist there (so in this case, the character picks a class and comes in at level 1).
In general, there aren't any hard and fast rules on how your powers change, so feel free to have fun and be creative with it! So long as you aren't making your character too overpowered by playing fast and loose with interpretations, do what feels cool and thematic.
"Ability Limitations" are the general scale of power that are permitted in a world. In a setting with no supernatural abilities at all, characters will not have access to any abilities. In universes with lower power scales such as Gaia in Final Fantasy VII, where supernatural abilities are capable through materia, but are generally not world-altering, characters may have their personal abilities limited but have a variety of items that give them their regular array of powers.
"Form Restrictions" define the general shape characters take on in a world. For many worlds, the shape is humanoid, but it can vary, in the world of Star Fox, characters will appear as anthropomorphic animals, and in the Digital World from Digimon, characters may become Digimon or regular humans, depending on the character. Players are free to decide how their character's forms are altered in any given world, but once the decision is made they cannot change it.
"Social Restrictions" are general social standards characters entering a world are expected to uphold. For example, those entering the world of Axis Powers Hetalia must come up with a country to represent (characters are free to make up countries, and are encouraged to claim small islands in the middle of nowhere as where their "country" is located). Upholding social restrictions is particularly important for an agent, if they are not properly upheld there can be severe repercussions from the Council.
"Notes" are general additional information and warnings to help prepare a character for their entry into a new and foreign world.
Finally, "Gate Locations" simply describes where a gate to any given world is located and the points that a world can be entered and exited from.

Generally, talking bad about the military or any of the ruling families is a social taboo and may even draw unwanted attention.
Notes: Warning: Little girls are older than you. Warning: Don't mess with the military. Warning: Robots may not be giant, but they're still deadly.

They can manipulate a variety of elements to remotely view, such as glass, water, or electricity, but are not particularly strong combatants (and are thus often paired with contractors).

While acting 'The Crazy', they tend to be manic (joyous or angry depending on the situation), insanely charismatic, and tend to view everything as tools to their work. First-time Spark activation tends to be traumatizing. Those who do not become sparks may find their special tools or powers turn into Clanks or Weapons of the appropriate Gaslight Fantasy style.

The World Ends With You
Ability Changes: UG (Underground): In order to survive in this version of Shibuya, characters need to form a pact with another character.
RG (Realground): No changes.
Ability Limitations: Characters cannot use their powers effectively until they have a partner. This is because the Noise need to be defeated on two planes simultaneously. If entering via the RG, then all powers are stripped away IF they are supernatural. This does not affect physical abilities, such as how to use a sword. It’s because the only ones able to use anything supernatural in the RG are the Angels and the Composer.
Form Restrictions: Humans only.
Social Restrictions: The only way to interact with those who ARE NOT Players will be by visiting stores with a Reaper’s decal (black outlined in red). Otherwise, it’s just a normal version of Earth, minus the being dead part. However, if entering from the RG, then you will be unable to see anyone in the UG unless you can see dead people.
Notes: Upon entering the UG, you will somehow have a Player Pin in your pocket, which means that you are playing The Reaper’s Game (or the Game for short). You are essentially dead, and the point of the Game is to survive for a week and defeat the Game Master for a second chance of life. There is one mission per day, and there’s always a time limit to complete the mission. It doesn’t matter which team clears it so long as they clear it before time is up. If time’s up and the mission isn’t complete, then the Players are erased.
Also worth mentioning is that there is an entry fee for playing. The entry fee is anything your character values above all else. Angels, the Composer, the Conductor, and the Reapers are not affected by this.
If entering through the RG, then nothing changes, except for having no supernatural powers.
Additional Information: Everything in the UG takes place in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, Japan. Characters will be unable to go anywhere else because they are ‘dead’ in this world, and ‘died’ in the Shibuya district. And Josh’s word is law when you’re dead.
Characters are free to go anywhere in the RG.

Tag: [World: Multiverse (Magic: the Gathering)]
Ability Changes: Most abilities are unchanged, though they tend to be dominated by one of the five major spheres of magic, Red, Green, Blue, Black, and White, which tend to have their own associated powers (Red tends to involve direct damage invocations and flame, Blue is subtle psionic and countering powers, green is nature magic, black is neccromantic and evil, white is holy and pure).

Mushroom World
Paper Mario
Ability Changes: Magic is restricted to the Magikoopa race and certain rarer ones (Shadow Sirens, Magiblots, etc.) Non-mage races are restricted to using items (numerous, with many effects), equipping badges or calling on the power of the stars if they wish to perform supernatural abilities outside of their normal race features. The Star Spirits may not grant these wishes if these abilities are not used for heroic purposes. Badges and items can be used by anyone. It is recommended for non-humans to restrict their powers to 4 chosen key attacks.
Ability Limitations: Moderate. Most abilities will be toned down to items, badges, or star powers. Star power (wishing) is said to be near limitless in nature as long as the stars agree to grant the wishes. Normally, however, extremely powerful abilities will not be allowable. For lists of items and badges, see the Additional Information section.
Form Restrictions: There are an extremely large number of races available from which to pick as nearly everything in Paper Mario canon is sentient. Humans are rare in the Mushroom Kingdom and would likely attract attention. Toads are the default race. Becoming a powerful Star Spirit or Star Kid is also an option. Keep in mind that all beings in this world are 2 dimensional (highly tear-resistant and flame-resistant) paper and may utilize this to their advantage. For lists of races, see the Additional Information section.

Pokemon World
Pokemon
Ability Changes: Humans rarely gain or lose any abilities, nor do they change. However, for some people they can manifest due to someone telling the character that they have that power, or through heritage, such as people with psychic abilities. However, Pokémon are different. They gain new abilities as they train and level up, though the explanation of this is quite insufficient -- nobody has understood how this works. Pokémon 'evolve' as they grow stronger, and can learn new attacks, and in turn, can lose some moves (due to the fact they can only use 4 moves (in game, though anime breaks that rule) -- though they can use more than 4 outside of battle, it is assumed
Ability Limitations: Humans are only allowed to have either psychic abilities, aura, or small amounts of magic -- which is limited to transforming people into Pokémon and teleportation. None of the Pokémon, with the exception of Arceus and some of the Legendary Pokémon have any world-breaking abilities. However, if someone manages to capture a Legendary Pokémon, things go down.
Form Restrictions: Trainers travel with their Pokémon and use them to battle gyms, other trainers and other Pokémon. Some trainers become coordinators, who are trainers who use their Pokémon in a more 'spiffy' way. Pokémon are considered as friends, allies, and to the bad guys -- even as tools or 'a way to rule the planet'.
Notes: Pokémon Centers are used to heal your Pokémon after a huge (or small!) battle for free, and can be used as a place to sleep and sometimes, eat.

[[For a link to Earths post, go here; for links to Other Worlds post, go here]]
There are four categories when explaining how a world works. "Ability Changes" explain how a character's powers change in the world. For example, in the Bleach world, a character's powers will take the form of a zanpakutou with it's own sentience and in the world of a Gundam series, powers will take the form of a giant mecha. Players are free to decide how their powers are altered in any given world, but once the decision is made they cannot change it.
Note that characters who lack abilities or are otherwise ordinary in one world do not gain abilities in other worlds. Since just about every world has an "ordinary person," if you are regular in one world, you are regular in every other world. The exception to this is characters with a giant mech or monster companion, they gain the powers of their mecha or favorite companion or companions in other worlds (in general, a character cannot import too many abilities from one world to another if they have a wide variety of things to choose from, such as Summons in Final Fantasy or Pokemon). If the world has a requirement of supernatural abilities built into it, such as The World from the .hack games where everyone has a class, the character gains the bare minimum to exist there (so in this case, the character picks a class and comes in at level 1).
In general, there aren't any hard and fast rules on how your powers change, so feel free to have fun and be creative with it! So long as you aren't making your character too overpowered by playing fast and loose with interpretations, do what feels cool and thematic.
"Ability Limitations" are the general scale of power that are permitted in a world. In a setting with no supernatural abilities at all, characters will not have access to any abilities. In universes with lower power scales such as Gaia in Final Fantasy VII, where supernatural abilities are capable through materia, but are generally not world-altering, characters may have their personal abilities limited but have a variety of items that give them their regular array of powers.
"Form Restrictions" define the general shape characters take on in a world. For many worlds, the shape is humanoid, but it can vary, in the world of Star Fox, characters will appear as anthropomorphic animals, and in the Digital World from Digimon, characters may become Digimon or regular humans, depending on the character. Players are free to decide how their character's forms are altered in any given world, but once the decision is made they cannot change it.
"Social Restrictions" are general social standards characters entering a world are expected to uphold. For example, those entering the world of Axis Powers Hetalia must come up with a country to represent (characters are free to make up countries, and are encouraged to claim small islands in the middle of nowhere as where their "country" is located). Upholding social restrictions is particularly important for an agent, if they are not properly upheld there can be severe repercussions from the Council.
"Notes" are general additional information and warnings to help prepare a character for their entry into a new and foreign world.
Finally, "Gate Locations" simply describes where a gate to any given world is located and the points that a world can be entered and exited from.
Alpha Complex

Form Restrictions: Basically a “human” appearance. Those cybernetically altered or with a robot body will be unchanged.
Social Restrictions: Though there is generally a good deal of freedom in Aquila, there is a sort of military state that the world is under. Civilians caught with weapons (this includes rune inscribed cards) will be arrested, and generally people have to give a wide berth to military personnel on patrol. Generally, talking bad about the military or any of the ruling families is a social taboo and may even draw unwanted attention.

The World Ends With You
Ability Changes: UG (Underground): In order to survive in this version of Shibuya, characters need to form a pact with another character.
RG (Realground): No changes.
Ability Limitations: Characters cannot use their powers effectively until they have a partner. This is because the Noise need to be defeated on two planes simultaneously. If entering via the RG, then all powers are stripped away IF they are supernatural. This does not affect physical abilities, such as how to use a sword. It’s because the only ones able to use anything supernatural in the RG are the Angels and the Composer.
Form Restrictions: Humans only.
Social Restrictions: The only way to interact with those who ARE NOT Players will be by visiting stores with a Reaper’s decal (black outlined in red). Otherwise, it’s just a normal version of Earth, minus the being dead part. However, if entering from the RG, then you will be unable to see anyone in the UG unless you can see dead people.
Notes: Upon entering the UG, you will somehow have a Player Pin in your pocket, which means that you are playing The Reaper’s Game (or the Game for short). You are essentially dead, and the point of the Game is to survive for a week and defeat the Game Master for a second chance of life. There is one mission per day, and there’s always a time limit to complete the mission. It doesn’t matter which team clears it so long as they clear it before time is up. If time’s up and the mission isn’t complete, then the Players are erased.
Also worth mentioning is that there is an entry fee for playing. The entry fee is anything your character values above all else. Angels, the Composer, the Conductor, and the Reapers are not affected by this.
If entering through the RG, then nothing changes, except for having no supernatural powers.
Additional Information: Everything in the UG takes place in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, Japan. Characters will be unable to go anywhere else because they are ‘dead’ in this world, and ‘died’ in the Shibuya district. And Josh’s word is law when you’re dead.
Characters are free to go anywhere in the RG.

The Star Spirits may not grant these wishes if these abilities are not used for heroic purposes. Badges and items can be used by anyone. It is recommended for non-humans to restrict their powers to 4 chosen key attacks.

For lists of items and badges, see the Additional Information section.
Form Restrictions: There are an extremely large number of races available from which to pick as nearly everything in Paper Mario canon is sentient. Humans are rare in the Mushroom Kingdom and would likely attract attention. Toads are the default race. Becoming a powerful Star Spirit or Star Kid is also an option. Keep in mind that all beings in this world are 2 dimensional (highly tear-resistant and flame-resistant) paper and may utilize this to their advantage. For lists of races, see the Additional Information section.

Pokemon World
Pokemon
Ability Changes: Humans rarely gain or lose any abilities, nor do they change. However, for some people they can manifest due to someone telling the character that they have that power, or through heritage, such as people with psychic abilities. However, Pokémon are different. They gain new abilities as they train and level up, though the explanation of this is quite insufficient -- nobody has understood how this works. Pokémon 'evolve' as they grow stronger, and can learn new attacks, and in turn, can lose some moves (due to the fact they can only use 4 moves (in game, though anime breaks that rule) -- though they can use more than 4 outside of battle, it is assumed
Ability Limitations: Humans are only allowed to have either psychic abilities, aura, or small amounts of magic -- which is limited to transforming people into Pokémon and teleportation. None of the Pokémon, with the exception of Arceus and some of the Legendary Pokémon have any world-breaking abilities. However, if someone manages to capture a Legendary Pokémon, things go down.
Form Restrictions: Trainers travel with their Pokémon and use them to battle gyms, other trainers and other Pokémon. Some trainers become coordinators, who are trainers who use their Pokémon in a more 'spiffy' way. Pokémon are considered as friends, allies, and to the bad guys -- even as tools or 'a way to rule the planet'.
Notes: Pokémon Centers are used to heal your Pokémon after a huge (or small!) battle for free, and can be used as a place to sleep and sometimes, eat.

Earth
Where on Earth/In World is Carmen Sandiego

Ability Changes: Magic can be used in this world, though it can be assumed that so can other abilities. You're gonna freak a few people out with something world shattering, though.
Ability Limitations: No real ability changes here.
Form Restrictions: No form restrictions here. However, no one save a select few knows of other worlds, thus if you're gonna go in as anything other than a human, you'd better find a way to make sure others don't spot you lest they freak. The last time someone saw them, they tried to capture them. Glamor magic really works here.
Social Restrictions: No social restrictions.

The main one is Kandrakar, which is considered to be the center of the universe and where the source of magic for the five elements are held. The Oracle, formerly Himerish, now Yan Lin, can pretty much see anything that's happening, but they won't interfere, leaving that to the girls.
