Sunlightverse things!

[askerian]

So I have decided! that:

1) I won't change the fanon names I made up or the little past I did develop, even if I haven't written about it yet. I'm not retconning the fanon I've already written down, so to keep everything coherent I'm going to keep the rest of it too. Interesting canon tidbits might find their way in a character's background but I'm not lifting Latula wholesale, awesome as she is, and Kheper Vantas will stay a manslut in every single version, no matter how much of a little SJ twerp he totally was otherwise. (he made way too many sadfaces when I mentioned going back to snip things out and making him celibate on Beforus. :X) I feel it'll be easier for the readers to remember that oh, hey, it's a fanon cast, if I DON'T have it half-canon and half-fanon to begin with. I got Jossed, that happens, imma just keep going.

2) Finally settled on titles for everyone! Stuck with canon where I could, in the end the only doubled-up title is for the Geminis which is appropriate 'nuff.

3) Decided that they DO have dreambubbles in the new world. Kind of. It's not where people go where they die, but it's a pocket world between this one and the next and some people when they die have to cross some of the gods' worlds, and some living people accidentally stumble onto one of the entrances and cross over and have to find their way out. This is pretty mythical. It's more of a parallel/not quite real world than a "next" world.

(I don't know if they have a final reward paradise plane of existence or if they have reincarnation. Leaning towar eventual reincarnation but they might need a bit of a rest in between. Hm.)

(also all doomed timeline versions are dead and gone and were not brought along, though some echoes of the most divergent ones might remain. There's a particularly creepy-Rose vibe from the one who stayed alon in the doomed timeline Davesprite came from. Light and Rain is not a comfortable realm by any means.)

4) Decided I had nothing better to do with my time than make up planets for the Ancestor crew. :X

List's underneath, titles included.

Sherat Megido (Witch of Time) : Land of Crystal and Metronomes - Flat expanses of blueish-pink crystal with rare bursts of crystal growths, and reddish metronome buildings and mountains.

Ruufio Nitram (Prince of Breath) : Land of Sand and Shamal - An oasis in the middle of a Saharan desert, standing in the eye of a storm. Dead people half-buried in the sand at the edge of vision. Consorts are sidewinders.

Xullos Captor (Mage of Doom) : Land of Fire and Brains - The land is on fire; player and Consorts can only move around jumping from brain to floating brain.

Kheper Vantas (Seer of Blood) : Land of Pulse and Glaze - Rivulets and rivers of red blood in between white grass and trees, glass bridges and habitations, some of them cracked or ruined or smoke-stained but glittering even so.

Asleha Leijon (Knight of Heart) : Land of Long Ceilings and Timber - A planet with scratching-post trees and dangly toy fruit, where the sky is all ceiling and consorts pounce from traps.

Zaniah Maryam (Maid of Space) : Land of Veils and Frogs - Forest-covered volcano, the sky appears to have veils of color hanging to the ground like an aurora borealis, and Frogs hidden somewhere on it. The veils clear when the Forge is lit.

Hesper Pyrope (Rogue of Mind) : Land of Thoguht and Cyphers - A Greek-looking labyrinthine town, with trick locks and levers everywhere and a sky of nerve cells.

Aranea Serket (Sylph of Light) : Land of Brigantines and Treasure - An ocean with ships moored to each other, sometimes moving off or attaching themselves each other with little warning, that has an antiquated map for a sky and no land in sight.

Nergal Zahhak (Page of Void) : Land of Cloisters and Shadows - An enormous system of caverns and waterfalls big and tall enough to contain churches and old cloisters.

Algedi Makara (Heir of Rage) : Land of Rainbows and Mirth - A colorful world full of art galleries and flashing lights. The trees are paintbrushes and the rocks paint pots.

Calion Ampora (Bard of Hope) : Land of Sirens and Greed - A monochrome world featuring Arabic palaces with the "harem"-style inner courtyards half drowned by overflowing pools and lamprey-faced mermaids.

Meenah Peixes (Thief of Life) : Land of Obsidian and Steam - A world of perpetually raging, rising seas and active volcanoes; consorts build houses on stilts and are constantly desperately racing to raise them before they are drowned.

Hesper Pyrope's Rogue of Mind thing works by making it so her enemies' plans and smarts work to her party's advantage. Master of making people go "yes but she thinks i'll do this, so i'll do that instead" where "that" was the hoped-for result all along. The cleverer you are, the more likely to run yourself onto the sharp end of your own wit. 'course sometimes that flips against her instead, see also Mindfang. D:

Ruufio's Prince of Breath, uh... destroyer of breath. Yep. John's already dealing srs damage being a Heir, but Ruufio is kind of ruthless about the great and varied ways to use his element. :X

now I need need NEED to write about some random OC accidentally tripping their way into idk who's personal realm. Hell, this possibly happens semi-regularly. Bitching sessions ensue. "goddamn it this is the fourth mortal I fish out of my grubtarded nasty blood oceans, what do they think they can find here, delicious blood sausage? iron *ore*?? Tetanus?????"
"man dont bitch about it i get to find mummified corpses on my platforms getting stuck in the gears and shit"
"yeah but at least you just have to tip them into the lava. ... uh. that might have been callous. Do you ever find any of them ... *alive*??"
"... :X"
"... uh you know what i'm gonna get that asshole who managed to climb the old crumbled castle down and kicked back out. yeah."
"OH, WELL-MET, Karkat. You would not happen to have any Hellacious Blue Gushers left in your Possession? I have a Mortal who cut his feet on my glass shards again... 9__9;;;"

Adi: ...WHY DO THEY NEVER FUCKING WEAR SHOES???
