#but ye tldr HR is just how i shorten hollowridge from the full title. its a headworld

Hi so I'm sure you've been asked this before but I was just looking at ur "hr insp" tag (hope thats okay) and I was wondering if u could share a bit more info about this hr oc of yours?? They sound. Interesting

They also remind me of my oc Mels

Oh hey!! This has not really been asked since "HR" is not a single oc, but rather a setting!

A little context: my # X insp tags are inspo for my headworlds/settings, and for ocs I use #[ocname]core instead so they are easily distinguished

The setting in question here is The Hollowridge Disaster, (that's my lore tag with all relevant posts in there, which I keep separate from my inspo tag)

BUT HERE'S SOME INFO ABOUT HOLLOWRIDGE !!

The setting is basically a post apocalyptic alternate earth where hyperadvanced technology almost brought about the end of the world before being shut down and forcing humanity to recede technologically. Because of the big knowledge rift and fear this event caused, most tech knowledge was lost to time and it all became warped into occult mystical stuff because people had no idea how it worked so it was essentially like magic to them. Machines and other artificial creatures still run rampant so mankind has learned how to fight them and keep them at bay but the biggest mechanical threats are still very unknown. The story itself is heavy with a lot of symbolism of all kinds.

Here's the main cast of the setting:

(Adriel is also my main oc and my #1 fave, he's the guy you'll see the most of)

And to elaborate a bit more on the mystical lens over the setting since that might be confusing: spell circles are basically programming code lines. Anyone who is a witch or a mage is just someone who knows programming. Rogue AIs are called Daemons. Things like that. Everything has both an old world designation (what it actually is) and a new world designation (what it has been interpreted as)
