#to create the e/riverse

[erigold13261]

Oh! Yea sure! The Eriverse is pretty complicated but also just a stupid (/pos) jumble of a bunch of things. (also this might get a tad bit long so buckle up lol)

At it's core, the Eriverse is literally my hyperfixation with the game No Straight Roads (NSR) gone wild lol. It was a game I LOVED for so long to the point I couldn't care about any other media unless I connected it to NSR.

I ended up really liking Psychonauts and the Spiderverse movies, so I did what any one else would naturally do and just plopped those two media into the NSR universe (which is why everyone is colored in strange ways lol). From there I just kept adding onto the universe with either full media or just concepts from other media (so sometimes I'll have the full character cast list and other times I will only have the magic/power system from a world)

The Eriverse is cut up into a few different parts, but there are 4 main ones at this point in my writing (which the 4th part just recently got created so it's still heavily in development).

Name may change, but for now they are known as "The Past," "The Revolutions/Age of Revolutions," "Post Timeskip," and "The Era of Rebirth." Technically there are 3 more sections, but those are more for exposition than for story telling (before The Past, during the Timeskip, and the time between Post Timeskip and The Era of Rebirth which is a 1000 year timespan).

Anyway, the major points go as follows!

-"The Past" is mainly made up of Psychonauts characters and the older generation of NSR characters. This is actually the most established part of the Eriverse because I was creating the past for NSR characters for like years before I delved into creating an expanded universe.

So most of The Past is set in stone and won't have extra media added onto it except for easy stuff I can plop into the timeline (such as Miguel from Spiderverse being friends with Yinu's mother and father from NSR).

-"The Age of Revolutions" are a like 6 year timespan where 3 major revolutions happen (each 2 years apart from each other). The Rock Revolution (which is the events of NSR), the Power Revolution (which is the Eriverse's version of what happens in the Spiderverse franchise, as Nueva York is a company that suppresses people's natural powers and so Miles and the rest of the Arachnikids and Hidden Inventory/JJKgang cause a revolution), and the Tech Revolution (which is the events of Hi Fi Rush).

The Tech Revolution was going to be connected with the Robot Revolution, but instead I changed that to happen after the first Timeskip which would include Hi Fi Rush and the Robots movie from 2005.

-"Post Timeskip" is the period after a 10 year timeskip after the Tech Revolution. Right now this is the area of the Eriverse that I am focusing on the most as I have added the MOST media into this part of the story.

Basically, during the 10 year timeskip, wild magic of the world built up too quickly and started to create creatures known as entities (which is a concept like how Curses from JJK are made). Entities encompass a LOT of creatures from ghost Pokemon to Minecraft mobs, to JJK curses, and even Hatsune Miku lol. Basically anything I can't justify as human/human adjacent or a robot gets turned into an entity (and the classification for human is very broad in this world).

This is probably the hardest part to explain because there is so much and a lot of lore and relationship are reliant on knowledge of the past acts of the Eriverse, but it is SUPPOSED to be a complicated mess that allows for a lot of relationships to play out between characters from different universe. Like Satoru, Suguru, and Shoko (JJK) being kinda sorta adopted kids of DJ Subatomic Supernova (NSR) or how Miles (Spiderverse) is in a relationship with Gwen, Ganke (Spiderverse), and Kento and Haibara (JJK).

Very mess but very fun and a lot of intermingling between characters thanks to both circumstances (such as being sent to Nueva York or working at NSR) and realtionships (a lot of characters are either related or know someone related to someone).

This is also where lore about the magic of the world comes out to the majority of humanity, as well as things like the Culling Games and the Shibuya Incident equivalents happen (I say equivalents because they aren't going to be 1-to-1 or set in Japan. The Culling Games happen over the whole world and the Shibuya Incident happens in Vinyl City which is Malaysia equivalent).

-"The Age of Chaos" (and other titles). This is the 1000 years between Post Timeskip and The Era of Rebirth. It's also called the "Age of Corruption" and the "Centuries of War" which should be a good indicator of what this time period was like. Very chaotic and messy and was also the time where humans ended up falling as the the ones who were dominating Earth. Now it's mostly entities, with humans and robots having to fight for their lives. Not much story is going to happen here other than retellings from other media (the Great Diamond attack from Steven Universe and Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony happen during this period).

-"The Era of Rebirth" is the new age of story telling after the Age of Chaos ends. It's supposed to be mainly about Mana (the rebirthed Mahito who died before the Culling Games happened), Steven Universe, and Princess Luna coming to terms with what they/their former selves had done while also trying to help bring peace to the world as best as they can.

Magic in this part of the world is much more powerful. Before, like in The Past, magic was very weak and basically only applied to the person themself and couldn't be used on others unless they were very powerful or were boosted by music magic. Now, in the Era of Rebirth, music still reigns supreme but also magic is everywhere to the point that humans can use magic very easily.

This is why media such as My Little Pony, Freiren, Avatar the Last Airbender, and other heavily magical series are placed here!

Anyway! That is the just the technical lore part of the Eriverse! Like which media is where (I didn't even go into the whole list of different shows and games that I have planned to be here).

There are still plenty of actual plot points I could summarize as well as in-universe history about how the world works. Things such as Elementals, robots, how magic came to be, Tengen being the first ever Entity, the mutation of magic into the human race that even allowed for things like psychics and elementals to exist.

And THAT'S not even talking about how this world culturally differs from ours in how words like "human" are much more broad and relaxed compared to how IRL live uses those words.

Same thing with Entities having different cultures such as the Trolls having a blood color hierarchy while gems have an entirely different hierarchy which is different from the curses.

All of this is combine to try and make the world seem a lot more fleshed out. I try to go all over the world throughout history while also connecting characters and stories all together.

It really is super hard to explain all in one post, and this is already getting SUPER long, so I will definitely try to make a masterpost connected to sections of the Eriverse where I can talk more in depth about each part lore-wise instead of just the technical stuff.

Hope this was a fun read for you and anyone else! :D

I need to make a new pinned post. Talking about the Eriverse, my random ass tagging system, and also letting people know I am pretty okay with being tagged randomly (though I won't get to every tag some days because of my motivation sometimes lol)

Also need to change my commissions to off because I just can't do those while working. I just can't. I'm not even working full time and can't do them. I plan to work full time so I KNOW I won't be able to do them later.

So uh, for now take this as my new pinned post so my commission page isn't the first thing you see when you open my blog! :D
