The poll is up and here's a summary of the options. Keep in mind that this does not limit how NG operates over there. We can build on that once we decided how we even got there.

Different Dimension

The Champions Universe is a completely different world from ours yet some smiliarities exist. This world also has a Next Gen even though it may differ from the one in Paragon City. The people of this dimension might be aware that the COH Universe existed but they aren’t from it and have their own story.

Exiles:

Same as Different Dimension but this world’s Next Gen was actually founded by member of Paragon’s NG that have fled through an immensely powerful portal to escape the failing reality cluster around Primal Earth. These are the same characters, stranded on a new world, trying to rebuild.

Millennium City Moving Company :

Paragon City was destroyed in a terrible event but the Next Gen branch in Millenium City survived. Yes this one claims we are still in the same world, just moved to a different city.

Reality Rewritten:

Next Gen’s original timeline was one in which mutants and humanity waged a terrible war. But they traveled back in time, rewriting all of history. People lived completely new and different lives. Now they pay the price for their hubris and reality rewrites itself again. The Champions Universe is not a new world. It is our world but the timeline has been rewritten. Some people are the same, some are not. This would be along the lines of reinventing ourselves in the way of storylines like X-Men alpha or Age of Apocalypse.

Pod People:

Gal or Dayrunner manage to make the transition(along with a substantial/most/all of the NG staff/peoples), along with a big chunk of tech. However, the changing of realities(not just dimensions, since the multiple portal corp dimensions were all one super-reality that was CoH) drained most of the members, but left Gal/Dayrunner/Lightnyng/whoever 'awake'(probably whoever pushed the portal button) long enough to find a CO Grim(could even be CoH grim) and explain that, at the very least, it's terribly important to protect this stuff from her Sister reality. Also, she now has access to a big chunk of escaped tech, except only about 30% of it works, and of that, she has no idea how to use it! The rest of the group is put into a sort of rejuvenation pod that keeps them alive and stable while they recover, adapt, etc. to the new reality. Of course, anyone who wants to start fresh could simply make a new version/alt of the former mutant, and the CoH-version is just asleep in a pod. Which could be fun when the original wakes up....

Interdimensional Space riders:

Gal/Dayrunner/CoH Grim/etc. create a base on Mars/Moon/Pluto/Asteroid ala Magneto's space colony-thingy after arriving from CoH-verse. They then slowly release NG members from cold sleep and help them adapt to a world with less mutant hate, No freedom phalanx, and weird ugly bug people instead of Rikti. At the same time Purgatio could do the same as well, so we could bring villians too yay! Co/CoH grim is made leader of a new NG in Detroit(since it fulfills the same basic geographic location as Paragon does), which is about the same as the old one. Someone using a front-company that makes money off of smart investment in mutant heroes/etc. while secretly being a dimension-hopping/future-tech shadow organization. And Grim would still be the leader, just with shadowy overmind characters that you don't get to see cause Tbirdy and Gal like to nap a lot!:P

Geez, these are all good options...

"Pod People" covers everything. Still not very keen on the idea that the existence of the CO universe is contingent on NG screwing up a different universe. "Your universe wouldn't even exist if not for me" is the sort of thing that makes me /ignore people in Pocket D. Caprice. You know what I mean. It would make me feel dirty.

So, spending some time thinking about it... should anything other than the new dimension origin be chosen, why wouldn't Dayrunner quickly start selling any and all tech the company owns for gold? I'm not Dayrunner and I would start doing that! Then, whenever he could, he'd be shipping the gold over to the C.O. reality in preset safehouse locations...

Hey Tirex, do you know how to join a global channel in Champions? You can join "Next-Gen" and pretty much reach us any time there.

As ofr the vote we seem to have a pretty decisive direction towards different dimensions and pod people. In this case I'd suggest going with Pod People as Eli had worked out that suggestion in such a way that it pretty much includes Different Dimensions. Anyone can play either the alternate reality version of their alts or be one of the orignals from the pod. That plan sounds fair to everyone to me.
