The Origin of Smash

The Beginning

In the beginning, there was only a void and one being known only as the Original One. Without time or space, he planned the seeding of an ever-branching omniverse, one that kept expanding from all of the possibilities that could play out. It would be one where new laws would be written as each universe evolved, and many universes would be created from the common ancestor.

There, in the endless void, was infinite potential. Good and evil did not yet exist, for there was no differentiation or form within the Original One's seed. With one grand motion, the Original One threw the seed of the omniverse into the eternal void, and it exploded into an uncontrollable frenzy of universe creation.

First there was one formless existence that was the expansion of the seed; then two, then three, then more; soon, there were dozens of new primordial universes being born. Ultimately, one would become the Mario universe; another, the Pokémon universe; and yet another, the Zelda universe.

These universes, in their earliest stages, they differentiated each other by their establishment of basic laws: their gravitational laws, their quantum laws, their energy laws, and their potential for what is known as "magic" along with the manipulative capacity of this magic. All these laws dictated how these universes worked at the most basic level, forming the frameworks of all their other aspects.

The Original One watched his creation blossom into many fractal forms, and was pleased.

As time began and went onwards, the omniverse began to take a more definite shape. Planets began to form, and afterwards, life and consciousness. Many of these conscious life forms then developed intelligence and technology.

As the omniverse was created from a seed of free will, tension was inevitable where intelligence developed. No matter what sort of beings had intelligence, they always eventually competed amongst themselves and each other. Philosophies and concepts of "good" and "evil", "order" and "chaos" universally arose.

Some civilized beings became aware of the existence of the Original One, albeit in many different ways, and they began to pray to him for power to vanquish the opposition. This practice grew over time; eventually, the Original One, a creator without any sense of the concepts his creations had established, attempted to comprehend them.
