Hey, everyone!

Since we just released a new story that takes place in the same universe as our other works, I thought it would be a great opportunity for everyone to share their worlds in this thread!

Don't hesitate to talk about your ideas, characters, places, and anything else you think it's worth mentioning!

As for us, we have three stories that happen on the same continent and are intertwined in something bigger.

Check them out!





Now, let me hear about the universe you created!
I'm sure it will be fun!

slaps down "Red Shift"

Thank you for the thread! I always love seeing your work and universe. I write a dark sci-fi New Gods series I do all the art, music, animation, and writing for. Industrial? Check! Biohorror? Check! Red? Check?



Haha!
I'm already a fan of your work. The world-building of yours is just amazing.
Love the lava vibe it has!

so, i have three universes at the minute - but one of them is pretty much just regular old earth.

misfortune mirai universe - the way that your life plays out is all determined by a single tattoo you earn once you turn 11 years old. for example, the tattoo of a crow means bad luck and death in your life, whereas the tattoo of an angel might mean you have a blessed, relaxed life. some tattoos even go as far as finding soulmates; if someone has the matching tattoo to you (normally interlocking hearts) you become soulmates. theres also pretty advanced technology in this universe, things like dna modification to create 'designer' illnesses and diseases or to enhance the athletic abilities of a person.

witching hour universe - witches and witch hunters exist in this universe, though not like stereotypical witches/witch hunters. witches don't need anything like a broomstick or wand, but they do like to mess about with a cauldron every now and again. most people admire witches, and a common activity to do on a night is to go watch magical displays. some people, however, despise witches and find their existence both unnecessary and a nuisance. these people most likely are very judgmental or had a bad experience with a witch in the past.

wOw, i didn't think i wrote that much, but alright then.

Eventually, I want to go deeper into the creation of artifacts and how the museum was founded. I am also planning on exploring the history of the curator position and the "others" that Alex referenced in the season finale. I also can't wait to explore Jamie's history and her mother's backstory.

Nice. Time to fry some gray matter.

So my comic Plot Armor Academy2 takes place in a world where fictional characters reside before and after their publication.

Rule of thumb is, as long as someone thought something up, it exists within it.
You made a doodle today? That doodle is now a resident of "Stick figure village."
Someone ripped off My hero Academia again? Their OC most certainly went to school in my universe.
Had a nightmare the other night but already forgot all about it? Threat not, for that eldritch abomination you ran away from still terrorizes the citizens of the metaverse.

Fourth wall breakers like Deadpool or Rick, who can enter other peoples mediums are seen as dangerous mercenaries, who could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of fictional characters.
Retired characters or the ones already in the public domain teach the newer iterations of themselves how to behave like ... themselves once they hit the shelf.
Every single conspiracy theory about the government or scientific breakthrough that turned out to be nothing but someone's delusion is completely real and definitely a thing somewhere within this metaverse.
The outer gods created by H.P. Lovecraft and mythological beings from around the world fight for power every single day with no one able to stop them since many of the DC, Marvel and Disney characters strong enough to stop them are being forced to stay published and outside the public domain, as if on purpose.

Long story short. It's a brutal universe where everything from rule34 to the fanfic you posted several weeks back is an actual location, ready to be explored, and the most valuable resource, Plot Armor, is being highly regulated and guarded by the large corporations and ancient fictional families that resided within this world for eons.

Enjoy sleeping tonight :smile_cat:

LEGEND AND LORE1 ... briefly. :smiley:

Fantasy/Action/Comedy Comic Series

Not going to lie have you heard of a series called Warehouse 13. It's an old syfy channel series and it is phenomenal. This sounds super similar. If you are ever looking at a way to brand it just brand it as Warehouse 13's little sister. XD

I'm actually a big fan of Warehouse 13. It's an awesome show. There has been a few series that deal with magical artifacts, my series is my take on the subgenre.

Mine is a universe that takes place in current time on our earth but in alternate version. One where gods of my own creation exist unbeknownst to humanity. A couple of our gods get enter-tangled in my main characters lives. There is actually an expansive storyline told over 5 novels in my main universe. But then I have a secondary universe that intertwines into my other one. My fans and friends say I created a subway map.

In total there will be 10 books that take place in the universes I created that make up the cosmic mass that is my storyline. For these two series. The rest of my novels if I ever get out of this universe expansion will take place outside of this existence.

I always like when creators don´t forget their universe and expand it in different ways - because for me a story is never only just the characters and their struggles but the overall :slight_smile:

Maybe that is a reason why the story I am working on, is not your typical "good vs. evil" (tbh, there is no real evil) but more a journey through a world where the main character, after being connected to something from the past, starts to journey through her world and tries to find out more about the mysterious past of it and begins to see things, people have forgotten. And what this has to do with a war hundred years ago, a war that seemingly nobody seems to remember and isn´t written down.

Great idea! I have a big universe which encompasses every story in what I call my 'Dragonfeathers Project'. (Of which Blue Star Rebellion is one such story.) I'll put the elevator pitch for the universe below!


In the very oldest of Elven tales, passed down from the time before written history, there are legends of a group of immortal beings. Each the vessel of a specific elemental essence, it was their duty to roam from planet to planet, preserving the Leystream - the magical energy which flows through all the universe. They were known as the Keepers, and they made their home on a floating archipelago in a sea of stars within the hidden heart of the cosmos.

Throughout the cosmos there exists evidence of prior civilisations, destroyed in what is known as the Cataclysm; an enormous burst of energy which destroyed buildings, technology, and nearly every living being it touched. Entire worlds were cast back into the dark ages. History was lost, knowledge forgotten, and the time before the Cataclysm fell into legend, and half-forgotten history.

What caused the Cataclysm is the subject of much debate. Common legends from worlds light-years apart warn of wars, corruption and decadence summoning forth a force called Scrios, which tore the fabric of the cosmos asunder. These legends describe a great sacrifice; a Keeper of Light who flew into the Leyspring - the very heart of creation itself - and, by splitting her essence into two halves, stitched this fabric back together at the cost of her very existence.

This sacrifice saved the cosmos, but it was not without cost. The resulting burst of energy did not - could not - discriminate. Some worlds were luckier than others. Some recovered faster. Others did not recover at all. It has now been two thousand years since history was reset. The intercosmic community is blossoming once more, and while many planets are peaceful and co-operative, not every civilisation view the cause of the Cataclysm in the same way.


Jade Kingdoms is actually the first work in a trilogy. Jade Kingdoms: The Age of Silent Time is what I'm working on now, with her webcomic series of short comics teasing bits and pieces of what happens in this book, and what might perhaps show up later.

Jade Kingdoms tells the tale of the three remaining Primal Races. Beginning with the opulent Jade Kingdom, which is one of the three remaining strongholds left on the planet where life can thrive. The home ground of the Vritra, keepers of the Sentient Mind and descendants of the primordial Dragon, they offered their walls as a safe ground for the Lesser Races.

High in the skies thrive the Garuda, the upkeepers of the Living Flesh and masters of the physical realm. Unwilling to let her people roam the world free, Queen Minerva amuses herself with gladiator battles and dire gauntlets as she awaits the day death is returned to her people.

And surrounding both, is the scarred and battered planet itself, the World’s Bones. It’s sentience was long ago taken by a High Blood Priestess, whom successfully managed to fuse and become the new incarnation of the planet’s soul. She holds the Lifeblood prisoner, and caused the planet to decay and erode making it uninhabitable.

The Primal Races live separately, having ended the Genesis Trinity’s original purpose of having Sentience, Flesh and Bone unite as one and live under the same banner. But something stirs within the rich walls of the Jade Kingdom, a tiny whisper reaching the ears of its Jade Princess, Suren.

The Sentient Mind comes with pressure and pain, and for millennia Suren’s people (and she herself) heaved under it’s weight. But the whisper is urgent, and the Jade Princess followed it’s distorted footsteps in the far East Kingdom, where she learns of a frightful vision where none of the Primal Races exist in time.

Breaking with the traditions their creators couldn’t manage to right, Suren rises up to find an alternative to the cycle of downfall that is intent on plaguing the people of the world.

Starting, with bringing light to her kingdom.

My story takes place in a world/universe similar to ours except that supernatural beings exist and as a result it adds some little layers of fiction to actual historical events and wars, as well as the existence of fictional places and historical heroes.

That sounds really cool. Can you link to it? Also my universe doesn't really have big baddies either just people who seem like big baddies. XD

That woulda won me over and made me want to just sub and read forever... But I already am. So what can I do. Does Tapas have a sub twice?

This is such a fun promotion!

I have two current comics.

Milord and the Tailor is a webcomic in the Kingdom of Leaves. It is a magical place with colorful charactered based off different tea blends and herbs. The main religion is to the five celestial faeries but some people pray to one or all of them.

The Red Kettle Spell Shoppe
The other one is a blend of Eastern and Western folklore in a whimisical island called Yamakiri where magic and non magic beings some what co exist.

Our world as we know it. Except that it ended. It's freezing and everything is covered in dust and grime. You can't see more than half a mile in any direction for the smog. Everything smells bad, especially what few people are left. Said people are broken, egotistical assholes. They huddle round a fire and tell the stories of their lives.

My universe takes place in one very similar to our own but with different historical events - also 1000 or so years into the future.

The year is 30XX. A millennium ago, the human race was nearly wiped out by a nuclear apocalypse. Through a combination of cybernetics and genetic mutation, humans have evolved and gained astonishing abilities.
