#LORE -> Worldbuilding & References

[dunmeshistash]

Do you have anything on the clothing of fashion of different races? Specially half-foots, but all are appreciated!

The new adventurer's bible and kui's blog have some pages about clothing! But there isn't much about half-foots specifically, theres pages about tallmen elf and dwarf fashion. I'll try to put everything I have here with the translated versions for the ones I can find (without much organization hope that's ok)

[filurig]

i decided to change a little bit about the bäckahäst humanoid form, and realised that they have some superficial similarities to skogsrå, so heres a thing ironing out their differences a little

[miollo-blackberry]

your art is so gorgeous please infodump about your ocs

I completely forgot about this question!!!

Here is information about my oc!

[shaylogic]

DBDA Afterlives Theory

Charles & Edwin = Heaven and Hell

=> Charles = also possibly reincarnation ["Oi! We don't know what my afterlife looks like"]

Kashina = Reincarnation

Monty = Neitherlands [also probably where Niko's going]

Sandman Universe ==> It's not what you do in life that matters, it's who you believe you are. Amount of choice for afterlife. Can't go to Hell if you don't believe in it. Cultural relevance to afterlife

Speaking of cultural relevance ==> Crystal's ancestors?

Neitherlands from the comics ==> Bird Bone Snow, half-alive/half-dead, in-between space of mortality

How alive is Monty, really? Ripped apart at least twice, crows associated with death/transformation/crossing realms [Morrigan]

Heaven and Hell ==> Catholic School(?) Boys

Charles' Crucifix earring [even in Hell to get Edwin]

Charles English & Indian [Jayden's Indian, Jamaican, English]. Based off the pins Charles has, implied Charles has the Jamaican as well?

Kashi Indian(? forgive my ignorance. actor's Australian-American)

Charles' Night Nurse paperwork including a question about reincarnation ["Has this soul been reincarnated within 2 years...?"]

That may be true of all generic forms but we saw it on CHARLES'

Again, "we don't know what my afterlife looks like"

Charles' abusive white Dad, his Indian Mom [big angsty afterlife story to explore here, no?]

Parallels Crystal's white Dad and Black Mom, no? [more Crystal & Charles family stuff in season 2, like how they bond in the comics!]

I can't really articulate it all right now, but do you see what I'm saying?

Encom system reference

For writing, drawing etc. please add to this with more background/set pictures if you can. Legacy was a lot of peoples first introduction and still the lean for most of the fandom so it’s a bit. Harder to find both visual and worldbuilding references for Classic. I want to start doing more references/world building help and this is a small way to start.

It’s so ?? Gorgeous I need more—

Marmura!

"Do you understand what this power holds, my dear child? Having a planet all to yourself is no easy task."

INFO (SHORT):

Name: Marmura

Age: 70,000~

Pronouns: He/They/Star (Mainly uses he/him)

Gender: Omnigender

Orientation: Omniromantic

Height: 15' (~457 cm)

Species: Star

Title: God of the Stars

Status: Deceased

INFO (LONG):

YAYYYY FINALLY DID A FULL BODY FOR HIM!!! This was one of my most difficult designs to master, as he always had something changed to his design... this is so crazy I had so much motivation after drawing Veda's design

Marmura's basically the one who kickstarted everything, from convincing Sol, Selena and Emory to rule a planet to the creation of Vizion and Oculus. While in paper he seems like a good guy heeeessssss not

Star's a greedy, selfish bastard that is, used to shield behind the others when danger came around, willing to let any of them die for his sake while they did nothing, well that sure ended in karma huh?

Marmura was the first to shapeshift out of the first generation, opting for a more 'divine' look, where he gave up his two legs for a centaur look, mimicing the colors of the North and how Stellaris' rings shine to give that illusion

He was also the one to rename the planet itself, before he and the others came down towards the planet, it had a completly diffrent name spoken in an old and now lost language all ancient civilizations spoke togheter now lost for eternity. And also hes the one that convinved Selena and Emory to conceptualize and create the artificial moon, Octavian, ALL so he could create some servants outta that.

Etc etc, It'll be so much more to talk about JUST the relationship he had with both of his children YEOUCH!!! BUT ill save it for later mwaahahahahaha...

I MIGHT still change some aspects of the design, the whole 'Marmura's a centaur' is still fresh out of the oven and I might play around with the colors (although hes super shiny and reflects light that mames him pastel)

HERES A NO BG VERSION!!! VVV

Fun fact: Marmura's entire character was created because I just randomly imagined him one day and was like "lmfao what if I make them an awful person" LMFAOOO

OLD DESIGNS?!!! Ignore if they ugly af all of these are super old and not canon at all 😭

OK THAS IT ILY GUYS /P

[theart-dragon]

I need a name for this dude!

[hall0wedwyrm]

saying it now, before i forget:

If 'I Am All of Me' is NOT in Sonic 3... i am going to riot.

its SHADOWS SONG. and if they pull out some bs like 'All Hail Shadow' i will also be causing a fist fight.

Also extra bonus points if they somehow:

a. get Crush 40 to come back and cover it for the movie (they did the live tour thing and even covered it there so why wouldnt they do it again??)

b. get literally any emo or rock bad to cover it. My top and unrealistic pick is Fall Out Boy or MCR, but like I'll settle for them bringing back Kellin Quinn to do it. Please it would be really cool and also you guys did it 4 times for Frontiers please please PLEASE

i WILL NOT accept some dumbass rap song with some rapper ive never heard of. Thats not the vibe i think anyone wants. and its not Shadow's vibe, and this is the chance to get the younger audience into Shadow's character and story

that is all have a good day

🟣 OCs 🪽

Hello!! I'm dropping three "new" OCs here as well as some worldbuilding lore below ⬇️

First, Optima is a fictional nation in my little alternate universe. It's an island nation in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (a few hundred miles west of the Azores Archipelago, for small reference). A lot of my projects in this world either deal with Optima directly or have heavy ties to the place. 💜

Next, I'll be posting my latest project, The Black Herons, soon in October. So I figured I'd introduce these other major characters and some of the worldbuilding of Optima before I do anything else. (The worldbuilding is very self-explanatory in the story itself, so I won't go into too much detail here)

Okay, so these three...

Senator Warren Sun is the boss of the Cranes of the Coast, the organization of which the Black Herons are a part of. This man coordinates their missions, though he keeps everything undercover. He believes what he does benefits Optima.

Jake Agnes is the newly elected vice president of Optima, yet he disagrees with the current president's "ideals." This man is not only the primary catalyst of the Black Herons' story but also a very major/impactful character in my universe overall.

Alazne Fatalis is the new head ambassador of Optima. She's in a position that responds directly to outside nations, and works very closely with Agnes. She is a force to be reckoned with, though she keeps her darker side hidden from the public.

Ok, that's all for now! I have more characters to introduce later, but these three are too important not to share first. I'll share more about Optima later (especially after I start posting my story) 💜

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

I now have a Euclidian sona to project onto because I am obsessed with how their anatomy is

So this is the ref and an extra explanation of how it works

This is all i could draw today due to circumstances-TM

This is an angel-demon thing due to being inspired by angel bill art:

INFODUMP BIG LORE WARNING TEXT

Their story is that instead of destroying euclidia - while bill was in the process of “freeing them” - he miscalculted and what happened instead was he was pouring his life force into turning euclidians into 3d beings. Obviously, rewiring the whole being of, like, millions of shapes took much more energy than he expected; which he only realized about quater way in. Which was already way too late to change anything as he was being torn asunder into thousands of pieces.

The result of that was about a thousand of mildly empowered and very disoriented euclidians floating in the middle of space-nowhere, with only, like, a couple of them knowing vaguely what happened (due to listening to bill’s crazy public rants).

It took the survivors an unknown amount of time to gather together and compile a comprehensive picture of what happened and what to do next. [Insert massive timeskip here]

Billions of years down the line the now re-established euclidian society knows of the The Catalyst Event as such:

The legend goes: Once upon a time, when we lived in a world much more simple and pleasant. Sometimes - a shape with mystical powers was born. Some had unnatural strength - to lift things much bigger then themselves, some could bend light to their whims. Such things were very rare, and Cipher was one such shape. His ability most unusual of the rest: he could see into another world. Built so unlike our own - that it was impossible to conceive, nevermind describe. In our native world - the concepts he brought up - such as stars and “up” were considered immensely absurd; And thus he was known as the crazy councilman’s son.

We do not know much of the in-between time, but those who saw it say: “For long he talked about made-up things in the middle of the street, most of us thought he’d been on drugs. However we hoped he might’ve calmed down after not being seen for some time. And the next thing I know - the image of him is superimposed all over my vision. It was everywhere. I could not look away. I think i understood in that moment what he meant by “up”, and yet at the same time it was incomprehensible. Everything swam, but everything was on fire. Blue fire that flowed like the ground and like the people around me. Their organs dripping out of their body through the holes that arent there. Their screaming was all I could hear, but mine too, joining them in the neverending chorus… And through all of it, him, the crazy councilmans kid, he was in “the up”, screaming with us, breaking into pieces. I was more, I was cold, I was burning alive. There was something inside of me that was foreign, it was taking up the space that I didn’t have, too much, too much. I couldnt handle it, i screamed and screamed, for that was all I could do, hoping that would be enough, that if I flailed a bit more - the visions would take pity on me. But I was too numb, I couldnt think, I couldnt bear to move, praying to the unmerciful triangle that his apparition kills me sooner than later… And I woke up. My vision hurt, however strange that sounds. Couldnt feel anything in my body other than that. Only me that did not feel like me anymore, And an infinite void, sparkling with something, and my thoughts. It hurt to think too, for a while.”

Needless to say, we dont tell this part to kids.

After The Event - those of us who survived (and kept most of their mind intact) - did their best to find each other. We found almost a thousand, if there are more - they would be very lucky to be found in this infinity. We did our best to organize ourselves and make plans to rebuild whatever we have left. Nothing good came out of that mind you, travelling together as a monolith kind of group was unsustainable at best and a horrid idea in general; And we had no base to build anything anywhere, as our memories and bodies were all we had left. We were also all different people, too different, and keeping any sort of communication is impossible out here, with nothing to make, and the only way to communicate being face to face - to the disappointment of many - the only way we could progress and survive is either in small groups, or alone. Going to explore the nothing for any news and help at all, hoping we will find each other and reconvene once again in some future.

And so it went. The multiverse became familiar with a new nomadic species - weird flat shapes with stick-like limbs, that had various magical abilities: some more powerful than others. They were categorised, and labeled a bland name, “Shape demons”, for how they are shapes, for their disturbing shared ability to be summoned as if corporeal spirits, and for being able to forming binding magical contracts. Each of those creatures has an different affinities and power, so it would be wise not to mess with them and be specific when negotiating.

It is happy that some were able to come across and pass on a terms of infinity communication; so while not all, a lot of us formed a sort of disjointed community at last. A social media for the lost; Looking if there is a place to make a home.

So much time passes, none alive could measure it. And yet we live and we remember. Searching for nobody knows what. However only but three human centuries ago, just one square, certainly smarter than most for sure, found a place to rest on a plane inhabited with very complicated and gross creatures. But only after a bit discovered that they couldn’t leave a small village, prevented by a barrier. Of course, asking the locals proved futile as neither understood each other, and the creatures with houses were either fearful or hostile, never-mind the aggressive fauna and flora! The smart square was very fortunate to have found one resident that is quite reasonable, and it was smart too! Together, the genius minds taught the other their language, and worked towards many great things. The pair built a portal into the multiverse for easy access to resources and contact with other shapes, then, with other found alien minds to weigh in, they figured out how to break the wretched barrier. It was not considered, then, that such action would also let out the hostile and difficult to handle flora/fauna - that, as it turns out, did not exist on the rest of the planet! That was a mess and a half to handle, thats for sure.

In “modern” times however, humans have worked hard to acclimate to the onslaught of the supernatural. A shaky truce was established in the last 50-or-so years; non sentient creatures handled by a special task-force, the sentient ones have forced through a negotiation of “human” rights (they worked, and still work, for freedom alongside the marginalised and dehumanised groups of humans. Who surprisingly, for the most part accepted their aid). Shapes that have decided to settle on Earth of this universe are… very few. It is a rarity to see one, usually an occasion of seeing a shape demands a selfie and a blog post at least.

As for Euan, their story is not complicated.

A travelling Shape demon couple had an unintentional offspring. They travel a lot, and frankly - care not for wasting time and energy on raising a whole new person. Earth-08356 came up on their radar, a fine place to look for any bleeding-heart creature who longs for a young of their own. A spiritual human was recommended a ritual by a friend of a friend, for a guardian spirit - that, for a price, can grant any wish. The woman couldnt carry one of her own, as a miscarriage too many made it too dangerous. She partook to many religions in search of an answer, a cure, but despite the supernatural and the weird now permeating the planet - there were none. The ritual was supposed to be one of many, yet it became a solution. The shape couple answered the summons, ‘perfect, just what is needed’. The never yet mother begs for a magical cure, for fertility and health to carry a small one to spread her love and want that she could not contain. The Demons respond, ‘ you will recieve a young all of your own, to love and raise, and it will love you in return. We will not demand payment, yet for a neglect of some of your wish. The child will not be of your blood. It will not bleed red, nor be a human child at all. Your want is of a mother yearning for a helpless little person to love without condition. So the deal is such: You will gain an offspring of your very own, it will love you eternally, you shall teach it all you know; But can your love be pure? To love still, an alien so far removed from any creature you have seen? It will love you for as long as you love it, yet it will be hard, many do not like that which is different. Will you accept it? Can you protect it?… Will you? ‘

And thus a human gains a child. It is cute, it loves, and it is loved. The demons did not lie, Euan was a challenge after challenge. In fact, the challenges do not seem to stop. It is hard, and very taxing on every resource she has. The child is good and full of warmth, but by the infinity do they not fit into human society, no matter how hard they try or what is done - the only saving grace is that mental illness is similar in such different beings.

—

That is all lore-talk for now, now onto more technical stuff:

Their parents’ ability is to make ones body into liquid, and the other ones is to fall apart into smaller copies of themself/ or grow when enough energy is consumed. Euan, thus, can usually shapeshift their body like a constructor of two triangles, and manipulate their facial features and limbs to a disturbing degree. Yet they’ve always felt dysphoric for… something.

I have not yet figured a way to do this, but I planned for them to somehow get infused with a copious amount of energy (like, idk, spontaneous wormhole be upon ye) - and unlock like, near infinite shapeshifting. Or something along the lines of danny phantom aka unhealthy amounts of multiverse magic radiation exploded with them in the middle and now they can walk throughwalls disappear andfly- take any form and rip space matter apart due to being everywhere and everything all at once.

Extra ref with the infinity bag and some glitches?? not sure where I was going with this…

[nevgig]

Epimethius and Prometheus, twin "gods" who seperated themselves from the god circle to just...go ahead and do whatever they want. When Adonias gained self awareness they split into two beings, who are know in a worse mental state then they started in. Later on in centuries, they would come back together to form Tipios.

Introduction to Iego - The Diathui

With an endonym meaning “People of the Diathim,” Iego’s indigenous near-human ethnicity is shrouded in secrecy and mysticism. Hailing from the original human inhabitants of Iego and the Diathim who ventured beyond its moons, the Diathui are an ancient race with a proud history. 

In ancient times, during the era of rudimentary space travel, a human sleeper ship crash-landed on the planet; in the ensuing chaos, the population separated into multiple warring bands that ultimately evolved into the legendary Twelve Tribes. It became the precedent for the tribes to be led by half-human, half-Diathim hybrids. As time went on, the majority of each tribe’s population eventually all had traces of Diathim ancestry, often as a result of each chieftain’s expansive harem–at least, according to legend. While the tribes themselves have long since disappeared, individual Diathui will often claim ancestral ties to a certain tribe, although the only real value to this is bragging rights. Individual cultural distinctions of each tribe have fallen into obscurity, and it can only be assumed all their attributes evolved into a single overarching–yet still small–culture.

There are few Diathui left on Iego, numbering only in the thousands, yet their mysterious reputation is firmly cemented in the minds of the wider galaxy. Often referred to as “fairies” or “elves,” these epithets are regarded as patronizing at best, fetishistic at worst, and overall derogatory. Stereotypes about them are quite widespread, mostly surrounding their mystical heritage and religion. For example, one common misconception is that Diathui are immortal, citing their Drolic healing practices, angelic ancestry, and generally longer-than-average lifespans. They’re regarded in a way similar to both the Ghostlings and the Dathomirians; they’re infantilized and made into objects, like the Ghostlings, and are viewed as esoteric tricksters, like the Dathomirians.. For the most part, however, the Diathui are seen as purely fictional, much like their parent species–little more than magical beings from a fairytale.

The rumored supernatural abilities of the Diathui are the primary focus of the stories surrounding them. All Diathui have baseline features stemming from their Diathim ancestry–faintly glowing skin, mild radioactivity, a wider spectrum of vision–but only females inherit the sacred powers, save for the legendary Drolic prophet who united the Twelve Tribes. Details surrounding these abilities are closely guarded by the triyi, who are selected from among those who display the most prominent powers. These sacred powers are indeed manifestations of Force abilities, although a handful of which are most likely exclusive to those of Diathim ancestry.
