#Worldless Headcanons

[skewewe]

Hi *throws my worldless headcanons at you violently*

- Edda and Aven are simblings. Or at least act like ones. (Edda is the older and Aven the younger.)

- Aven remembers abt hurting Edda in their first encounter, and sometimes still apologizes for hurting her.

- And Edda tells him to not apologize for his bad fighting as a joke

- Edda "grounds" Aven when he does something stupid.

- so he tries to hide in the water to not get grounded. (He still gets somehow grounded)

- Aven Is allergic to the North-west area's flower thingies, and Edda bullies him for It (As a joke. She actually gets scared for him sometimes)

Thats all for now 💥💥

Okay so here's my idea based on the unused White Realm (Which will actually be today's Angeltober prompt!)

So basically, it might be called Pearl Gardens? Or something to that effect. It's a dreamy, ethereal realm, locked away from Worldless' gaze for quite a long time. And because of this... there's many unique starfolks and things that aren't found in any of the other realms.

Despite being associated with the colour white, it also have quite a bit of pastel colours too, as well as iridescence stuff. This realm is mainly comprised of Sky islands and clouds, with a large ocean beneath the cloud layer... which is ANOTHER hidden realm called the Abyssal Fields. There's many bridges and buildings, with stained glass windows being practically everywhere.

Most starfolks don't look like anything in the known realms, many of them here resemble medieval beasts, extinct animals or even be completely alien.

Some good examples would be:

Dracos- Resembles Medieval dragons. Comes in both polarities.

Hippalectryons- Dark

Pegasus - Light

Peryton - Dark

Jackalopes- Light

Barkscreech - Resembles thylacines. Comes in both polarities.

Cheepers - Resembles dodos. Light polarity

Skyblockers - Resembles Passenger pigeons. Dark polarity

Aricapeep - Resembles a "raptor" type dinosaur. Comes in both polarities.

Of course, this isn't an extensive list, and that's not talking about the Abyssal Fields.

Of course, being sealed away from Worldless' gaze, as well as the conflict itself, resulted in something... odd happening. The polarities amongst these starfolks seemingly got thinned out, resulting in these unique starfolks living in peace instead.

And maybe...

They're the only ones standing after the Universe was recreated...

Have a very funny idea I got out of nowhere:

Worldless what-if where the Duo gets thrown into Modern Day earth and accidentally becomes cryptids-

Cue a few people, camping deeeep in a cold forest..

Taking about the horror of the supposed black slender humanoid figure that has claws and a scarf, who supposedly hunts down people~

But then they hear- rustling

"OH NO- RUN IT'S THE CRYPT- oh it's not doing anything"

"It's chirping at us in curiousity, well guess it's harmless"

"Aww I didn't think you were harmless, we heard there was another humanoid feminine white silhouette"

Aven tilts his head in curiousity

"Oh no the myth wasn't that she hunted people, the myth is that taking some of her hair and making it into a trinket will bless children with good luck"

*Edda spawns, clearly offended that her myth wasn't as terrifying as Aven's, she decides to do something about it...

"OH FU⚡️🪓"

[starwaffle345]

hc that adaptation (shell-less form) makes sensory slug noises when they move

[octahedral-chaos]

OUGH... another lesbian duo peep!!!! That's so cool.

Also yeah. Edda our favourite feral starfolk-

I got an ask from @octahedral-chaos and Tumblr isn’t letting me answer it for some reason so I’ll answer it here !

Tbh I just really picked up on the games story and characters (also I learned I accidentally discovered the secret boss and assumed ?? It was the first boss ??), so I don’t have much, but imo I reject the idea of woman-man for those two and instead have Lesbian relationship where neither are technically women but it still works

(Also just based off me playing the game Edda is the more dangerous one .)

And hello !! Glad to be here, I really didn’t know if this game even HAD a fandom, I am so glad to be proven wrong . Definitely got more art along the way

[aroaceheadcanons]

Edda and Aven from Worldless are both Aroace!

Reasons why I think this:

When together, they almost create the Aroace flag colour palette!

Aven is also an acronym for Asexual Visibility and Education Network, one of the major Asexual forums!

We never, EVER seen them do anything romantically to one another. Plus the way they act seems more like friends to me

They're stars, so space themed

!!!

[h0ped3lusion]

So.. Affectionate Aven?

So me and Aven (aka @/octahedral-chaos) had a bit of a discussion and I really love the idea of Aven being quite affectionate towards Edda, kinda like a cat :3c

I love drawing them holding hands, tho of course I see their relationship being mostly platonic, but it is quite a deep and affectionate platonic bond

[octahedral-chaos]

@mystic-131 and @sleepless-tea look!!! A third Retelling!

I've been marinating my own take on the whole retelling Worldless shtick lately. With that, I've been mulling over designs for our duo, so here's a possible take on Edda (Aven is lined, but I can't render both of these goobers in one sitting, so he'll happen tomorrow sometime).

I wanted a more...paladin/warrior-y vibe for her, since she specifically wields the traditional weapons for such, but I also wanted her armoring to be light enough that she can move with relative ease.

Also... I have no idea what to call this AU, so that's a detail in progress-

[skewewe]

Gave Edda that flowers from the North-west area :P

Starfolks and Colour Variant: A Basic Summary

(AKA finally decided to go ham with my Spec-Evo stuff for them)

As seen in this post, I briefly mentioned the colour variations amongst starfolks, so here's a longer version that goes more in-depth.

Mask/ Core Colours

A Mask, also known more informally as the Core, is the bright, luminous spot at a starfolk's "face." It may act like the face itself, or appear as eyes. As a result, it is heavily believed to act like photoreceptors in organic beings, such as eyes.

In terms of colouration, we have several variants, from dominant to recessive, they are:

Light type: Blue - Light Blue - White

Dark type: Orange - Red - Yellow

Dual/ Hybrid Type: Green - Purple

As seen above, "Natural" types seems to have three types of alleles of the Mask gene, while Dual types seem to only have two types of alleles.

Mask genes are designated as "M," with the colour variants, in order, being designated as B, C, W, O, R, Y, G and P.

So, if a dark starfolk with the alleles M(OR), it would still appear as an orange-masked starfolk. But if the individual has M(RY), it would appear as a Red-masked starfolk, and only starfolks with M(YY) appears as yellow-masked starfolks.

This is a basic rundown, as starfolks can have mask colouration that are atypical to their types, which is seen in the "Mutations" section.

Body Colouration

Just like masks, a starfolk's body colour is usually linked to it's polarity. These are the Colouration, from dominant to recessive.

Light types: White - Light Grey - Light Blue - Light Pink

Dark Types: Black - Dark Purple - Dark Green - Brown

Dual/ Hybrid types: Green - Teal - Yellowish Green - Purple - Grey

As seen above, starfolks tend to have a wider variety of skintones compared to their mask colours. But it should be noted that colouration depends on factors like environmental conditions and general health before adulthood. For example, a starfolk that was extremely stressed during childhood would have a duller and more desaturated colour than a starfolk that has a relatively stress-free life. But this can vary and is more complicated than this.

Just like core colours, the more dominant colours masks the more recessive colours in a heterozygous individual. The genes for body colour is designated as B, with colours being W, G, C, P, B, Pr, Gr, Br, Gn, T, Yg, Pu and Ge.

So a dark starfolk with colour combination B(BPr), they would still appear as black, but an individual with genes B(PrGr) would be dark purple. And of course, an individual with genes B(BrBr) would be brown.

Mutations

Now this is were it gets fun!

Mutations often arise from abnormalities from genes, other recessive genes or even fusion. There are two types: Genetic and Fusion mutations. Genetic is, of course, inherited and is present during hatching. Fusion is where a starfolk absorbs some of another starfolk's essence, and often genetic material, resulting in it taking on new characteristics.

First off, the most common (and arguably the prettiest) one: Iridescence.

This can appear on any starfolk, regardless of type or colouration. It results in a rainbow shimmer on the starfolk's skin. It is, surprisingly enough, a dominant gene, although it is unknown why almost all starfolks have the recessive gene...

Iridescence is denoted by I, with matte being i. A Ii starfolk would still be Iridescence, but a ii starfolk would have no Iridescence at all.

Then there's points, which results in a mainly dominant body with the actual colouration on the extremities. It is designated as Po.

For example, let's take our B(BrBr) starfolk, and let's say it has two copies of the Po gene. It would appear as mainly black, with brown face, arms, legs and tail, if it has one. Of course, it can vary depending on how much limbs, heads, etc the starfolk has. It should be noted that this is written as B(BrBr)-Po.

Reversed Points is the same thing, except with the dominant colour being the extremities, while the base colour is the main colouration.

This is signed as RPo. For example, our B(PrGr) individual from earlier would appear as dark purple with black extremities if it was a B(PrGr)-Rpo individual.

Leopard (Leo) is basically when there's spots in a darker shade than the original colour. In black/ white starfolks, this may be in the recessive colour (Heterozygous) or completely absent (Homozygous).

Thylacine, Quagga and Tiger-Stripe are all the same gene (Tig), but different intensities. Thylacine results in stripes from the lower back to the base of the tail (if it has one), Quagga results in stripes on the head to the lower back, and Tiger-Stripe is full body stripes.

Countershade (Cs) is exactly that, a lighter shade on the underside of a starfolk. Absent in white and black individuals.

Ticking (Tk) is where there's a lighter (or darker in white light starfolks) shade of the base colour mixed in with the base colour itself. It does not affect the extremities.

Metallic, or Akhal-Teke (Akt) is where the body has a metallic sheen. Very, VERY visible in dark starfolks, with B(BB)-Akt (Or black with Metallic) starfolks appearing almost silver in the right conditions, but can appear in any other polarity.

Somatic, or just Soma for short, is both a genetic and fusion mutation. In fact, it is commonly believed to have originated as a fusion mutation from failed Dual-type starfolks, before becoming a proper gene. It results in starfolks of one polarity having visible colouration of another polarity, and can be mostly observed in "Natural" starfolks.

This is marked as Soma, with "ranks" of I to IV. Ranks are used to determined how much colouration is of the opposite polarity, with I being least amount, while IV is almost indistinguishable from the opposite polarity.

So, a Rank I dark starfolk would only have a small patch of white on its leg, while a rank IV dark starfolk would have a almost, or even pure white, body with blue mask.

That's right! This gene affects the mask colour too! In fact, it is somewhat common for Rank I Somatic starfolks to have a mask that is partially or completely the opposite polarity's colour. So a dark starfolk with blue mask could exist!

Albinism and Melanism are also mutations found in starfolks, except they present differently from Organic Beings. Albinism in starfolks could appear as pure orange body and mask (Dark), pure blue body and mask (Light) or Pale green body and green mask (Dual-type). Melanistic individual would be dark blue, dark orange and dark green respectively.

Of course, there's more mutations than this, but I think this would be a gold point to stop for now. If you want, I can do a more in-depth post on other Starfolk mutations and marking types.

Also imagine:

Worldless AU where Edda gets turned into a similar starfolk to Angel because why not?

AKA AU based on that one response you made for the "Edda with wings" ask

This'll be either the result of Edda absorbing Angel (like she did with the ice starfolk) or she'll get it some other way and have a cool duel with Angel from one winged starfolk to another

And given Edda's chaotic nature of using absolutely everything- including her shield- as a weapon

Thus, the only sane conclusion is that she weaponises her wings too, to knock enemies into the air for instance

Hell, she'd probably turn herself into a SPINNING BEYBLADE OF DEATH just to smack her enemies with wings. Of course assuming that her wings = more mobility = more chaotic motion.

Also I wonder if her wing feathers are alll tinyy little blades...

[octahedral-chaos]

As someone who is currently sneezing quite a bit because of dust and illness:

YES

I support this headcanon-

currently caught in a sneezing fit n remembered that one video/gif of some guy sneezing out fire

anyway yeah i think if aven sneezed hard enough fire would come out (also assuming he can sneeze in the first place)

[frontaliscraniumpart1]

Also silly thingy but... got any silly headcanons for Aven?

I feel he could like using his silly wind or fire powers like Chosen one from ava! I also hc that he'd be cat person🌽

[starwaffle345]

random projection headcanon go

edda would bite/peel her nail whites (or whatever theyre called) bc she becomes incredibly uncomfortable when she's aware of them existing

[your-blorbos-are-queer]

aven from worldless is aroace and gendervoid (headcanon)

[octahedral-chaos]

Awwwwwww... Aven truly is adorable here.

The wildlife one and the sleeping one is adorable. Also the fact that Aven is both skittish yet playful is just... absolute perfection. Also the fact that he's more flighty is interesting too.

Silly thing about your version of Aven,

But I love the fact that he has freckles!!! They look like little embers and it's so cute????? What????

*Ahem* Anyways, got any silly headcanons for everyone's favourite starfolk that you didn't mentioned?

Eeeee I'm glad you like the freckles! I had fun with that detail.

And...er.... I'm not 100% sure I know which starfolk you mean, and I really should, but I'm having a dumb ;-;
