Fam,it's time to stop pillaging for toilet paper and pay attention to what "Big Boomer Papa Goverment" is up to! From what I've gathered the "Earn it act" would force sites to pay unreasonable fees merely for displaying/endorsing adult content and make attempts to maintain one's own privacy thru encryption illegal. Not surprisingly they're trying to rush this passed us during our lovely Pandemic in the hopes we're too busy panicking to notice!


I'm not sure these chuckle-heads have thought about the ramifications. Like how encryption protects us all from malware,viruses,hackers,and doxers. (In other-words,make encryption illegal and watch the internet burn!) Obviously law abiding citizens would be the most vulnerable and the most "screwed". (The same way they'd be fucked in the ass without lubricant if gun-phobic lunatics took away all their fire-arms!)


Regardless methinks it might be a good time to write in to your senators and congressmen!

I haven't commented on the whole Onision/Chris Hansen situation. Probably because mostly I'm happy with how it has gone. (Mostly) Greg is like that sly douche-bag who always gets away with the worst shit imaginable so it's fun to see him squirm and sweat under the collar! Granted, I'm kinda scared for his kids and wonder if they're going to be taken into child protective services if Greggy goes to the big house! Just imagine being Greg's daughter! Lordy!


But this blog of mine isn't specifically about Greg or "Have a seat" Hansen. Rather it's about how I'm tired of everyone justifying their stupid and cruel actions when they were teenagers because they didn't know better. It's the new "victim pageantry get out of responsibility free" card and I'm just sick of it.


Yes,big brained scientists are now saying we're more or less "incomplete people" mentally until we're 25 but to me that smells of horseshit. To me it's a ludicrous concept we're "in flux" that long,just 5 years away from being 30 at that point. Now it is true I actually didn't truly find myself wholly until I was 32 or so but you must factor in I was from a broken home,had arrested development issues,originally had trouble separating reality from the fantasies I created on the internet,and at least for awhile took pharma medications for my mental illness that unfortunately made things worse for me instead of better. You could say I got a "late start" when it came to becoming an adult.


All that on the table, I had a fucking conscience by the time I was 14. I knew right from wrong. I had enough common sense to refrain from copious amounts of drugs and alcohol,to not become the next school shooter,or run away with some rock n roll babe twice my age. My dad and I argued and screamed at each other but neither of us ended up in the hospital.


So imagine how I feel when some dumb moron starts posting with the usual "When I was 17 I was with a 20 year old guy and I liked it but now the thought of it makes me puke!" Girlfriend, say what? There was only 3-4 years age difference between you and you CHOSE to be with that guy probably because he had transportation,had weed,and you thought he was hawt! Don't play the "young and naive" bullshit because by 16 if you don't know right from wrong or actions have consequences your parents have failed you!


Look, I get it. It's easier to put all the blame on someone else because we all want to feel like we're "good people". But the truth is we are all hedonistic monsters beneath our masks of etiquette and rationality to the point only our minds with their capacity for restraint,belief in a higher power, and morality keeps us from becoming metaphorical vampires and werewolves. If you liked your "bad boy" you knew why you liked him and what "those types of guys" usually want. Being a teenager is not the same as being retarded,fam! Stop infantilizing yourselves just to come up with excuses for your dumb choices! Grab the bull by the fucking horns and take responsibility!


This of course does not let that person who was with you at the time completely off the hook either. If said individual really was an abusive controlling asshole you have my deepest sympathies! But to be frank a teenage guy can be every bit as much of a manipulative "groomer" sex-pig as a guy in his 20's! Do you honestly believe teenage guys have no "game" because trust me, when I was a teenager I saw guys my age PLAYING girls every other day to woo them enough to get a little hanky panky! If anything there's no one more driven to get passed second base than a horny teen dude who has "pussy" or "titties" as his end goal so I really don't wanna hear your bullshit about "older men" always being the villains in your stupid-ass pity-party recollections!


As Dave Chapelle puts it, "How old is 15 anyway"? My answer? Old enough to have fucking spacial awareness,common sense,and to move before being peed on by R Kelly! Peace bitches, I'm out!

So I goofed. Put up an adult rated illustration under "E" because I forgot to reassign all those dots with various levels of purity & debauchery! I was thinking perhaps of a "remedy" to this. Aka,what if tag-words used automatically adjusted the rating? For example if you simply put in "Sonic" "Games" "Cartoons" and "Sega" it would be an obvious "E". But if you used more "NSFW" words it would bump it up to "M" or "A". Aka,the more graphic the words the more "Rule 34" the rating. I know algorithms like this are doable but it probably takes a lot of programming skill.


Regardless,sincerest of apologies. I'm a pervert but I understand how precious our youth are and see the positive benefits in shielding them from subjects their minds simply are not ready for. Granted I think by the time we're all 16 we've seen the very worst and sauciest of perversions on the internet but the line has to be drawn somewhere!


In the future I'll be much more careful.

Guide: Best read in this order!

-Lore

-Terminology 1

-This Page

-Creative licensing stuff


iu_101038_869871.jpg

Further terminology (Including supernatural types/races,etc.)


Esperlin: Supernaturals with demonic and draconic traits, they often get mislabeled as hell-spawn. Of all supernaturals esperlin tend to get the most discrimination. Esperlin can feed on and draw nourishment from the strong emotions and passionate desires of others. Having two hearts,esperlin are strong,hardy,and known for their endurance both in battle and in the bedroom!


Djinn: Simply a type of esperlin that can grant basic wishes when asked. (Manifesting material objects upon request) Most Djinn also developed mastery of a specific element depending on their interests and temperaments. Many Djinn died in the great genie wars as various power-hungry sultans enslaved them and used them as living weapons..


Oni: Esperlin known for both their strength and cunning who bred with and mixed their bloodlines with titans,ogres,and greater devils of larger size. Often depicted in Japanese folklore and myths. It is believed The Fukazawa family has oni blood in their ancestry.


Broodlings: Esperlin who have not reached maturity and who are still children. Broodlings can look like any number of imps,small devils,fire sprites,horned winged reptiles,gremlins, under fey, and tentacled beasties from various folklore. Exhibited stripes,colors, and patterns across their bodies often give hints indicating a broodling's family lineage.


Moon-touched: Lycanthropes that shape shift every full moon or via use of totem spirits. "Werewolves" tend to be the most popular example but "others" exist. (Including were bears, were felines,were foxes (Kitsune) and rabbit folk whom refer to themselves as pooka.)


Nagah: Supernaturals with snake traits. Can be as subtle as a tongue that picks up on pheromones or as blatantly obvious as having a serpentine lower body! Many nagah can “shift” between full snake, half snake, and full human forms at will. Despite having their own classification, there's a high probability they are merely another kind of moon touched.


Dandalion: Supernaturals with insect traits and an affinity with insects. Dandalion have a “hive conscience” but still function as individuals. Each Dandalion princess still has her own agency and her own diverse personality.


Swarm-kin: Dandalion who serve their mostly human looking princesses, they are entirely insect in appearance, come in varied types, and are very large. Swarm kin tend to “go berserk” and attack humans and humanoids in places where nature is being defiled due to pollution and over-population. In general they’re quite peaceful though!


Nihad: Aquatic esperlin who usually keep to themselves. They appear as gelatinous masses (living slimes or jelly-fish) but they can re-mold themselves into whatever shapes they wish. (And will become very beautiful idealized versions of the race of whoever they want to mate with or devour!)


Najin: Aquatic symbiotic race from "Sector 42", they commonly look like elongated jelly fish. Naijin can use their tendrils to possess a host and even rewire the brain and nervous system. Some Najin want peaceful coexistence with their host but others want complete dominance over their most recently acquired bodies. A sensual race, they possess other sentient species to experience "new sensations".


Sarena accidentally merges with a captive najin when her and her foster father Vincent James were creating new technologies for area 52 under the deception they were developing new break-thrus for NASA and cybernetic limb replacements to help wounded veterans. (In truth their inventions were being used by Daudalus to begin creating The Woke)


Regardless,the najin symbiote helped Sarena remember her life from Avanguard as well as its' many technological marvels. Later on when Sarena and Knoss (Liam) have their first female child they name her Vivian after Sarena's foster sister (Vincent's real daughter) and the najin symbiote is responsible for giving Viv the effortless ability to bedazzle and "charm" those around her. (Similar to Amy's fey glamour but much MUCH more intense.)


It is unknown how Najin "reproduce" but some believe it's thru mitosis then the host body leaves the younger split off versions behind thru perspiration,sexual ejaculate, or excrement of waste.


Justoth: The "life force" of any given planet that can support life. Can appear as raw energy or simply a huge behemoth of a creature. The healthier a planet,the healthier its' Justoth. (No two Justoth are alike.)


G'nars: G'nars are the Justoth's children. On earth sightings of these mammoth beings are often likened to the Lochness monster and other myths about large land roaming, flying, or sea dwelling monsters tied to specific areas. The Japanese call G'nar kaiju.


Sylph: Similar to the nihad,sylph are gelatinous moving blobs in their most natural state but can shape-shift to mimic anything or anyone. Unlike the nihad who inhabit oceans,sylph seem to move more often upon the land but depending on their "elemental affinity" some sylphs can be oceanic as well or even exist within magma filled volcanoes. An intelligent and sensual race that can rely emotions and pleasurable sensations thru touch, they have much in common with the nihad only seem to be a "purer breed" that did not intermingle with esperlin as heavily. Many speculate sylph are the extraterrestrial ancestors of the nihad and created "rift gates" to slip-stream between worlds and other dimensions.


Fey: Term for elves in general. Fey often use fairy glamour to blend into human society and tend to be in positions of wealth and power because of their physical attractiveness, mysterious allure, and long life spans.


Sub-humanoids: General term for goblins,trolls,orcs,fairies,and similar races. The "sub" in this case doesn't mean "less than" but rather refers to their preference to live in subterranean underground caverns and tunnels shut off from "the above" so they can maintain a more free spirited and tribal way of life. In cities they have flourishing populations in abandoned subway stations and in the sewers. More polite terms for them is "under-folk" or "under-kin". They often share their territory with broodlings and adult esperlin who do not have the necessary glamours to pass as human.


Averials: Hollow boned humanoids with avian wings who draw their power from the eidolon of belief and devotion. Often mistaken to be biblical angels.


Phoenix born: Otherwise known as “star-children” phoenix-born can resurrect after dying and tend to have an affinity with fire and solar energy. Usually phoenix-born can conjure fiery wings or fully take on an exotic bird form. Phoenix born’s souls are linked to different stars so they can have very long (Or very short) life spans. While "fire-birds" are the most common phoenix-born other variants were created during the big-bang as well,reputedly to help with various other tasks.It is said after "ascending" phoenix born shared the astral plane with the A'tar (A race of very powerful psychic beings) but a war broke out when the A'tar wanted to merge the elemental realms with the mental psychic network realm via an arranged marriage between their races. Things fell into immediate chaos when the princess of the phoenix born fled the scene of the wedding via a planear and space folding vessel with a few A'tar cruisers following the fleeing bride in hot pursuit. The A'tar and phoenix born eventually still came to a truce after the disastrous failed "joining ritual" but unfortunately by then many lives had been lost. At present the highest ranking phoenix royals still rule the elemental realms within the astral plane whereas the A'tar still reside in the realm of the akashic records. (That embody philosophical thoughts,ingenious ideas,dreams,nightmares,creative musings,and break thru spiritual epiphanies.)


Babel: The dead shared language of Avanguard all the first races once spoke to each other. When Avanguard and The Will Of Creation were shattered the singular language and singular dialect became "many". Phoenix born believe their natural ability to speak and learn many languages was a gift departed to them from a piece of The Will that had specialized in creating the Babel codex. As such many phoenix born see themselves as intergalactic messengers with the divine purpose to someday reunite all the first races.


Cocktrice: Rare phoenix type tied to the earth instead of a star. Their bird-forms tend to be large and flightless yet very fast running with long legs and sharp talons as well as complimentary beaks strong enough to crack stones. (And cocktrices literally eat stones with various minerals to retain their health) When in human form they are very well muscled, brown skinned, and tall. Being submerged in mud or sand will heal a cocktrice's wounds and bring them back from death.


Crono phoenix: Rare phoenix type that can manipulate the passage of time. Upon expending great amounts of energy they begin aging rapidly but a beloved keepsake on their person can return their youth to them after enough life vitae slowly refills within the aforementioned item.


Dusk phoenix: Rare phoenix type that can communicate with the dead and ferry lost souls to the underworld. Usually they are accompanied by willow-wisps that absorb latent left over ectoplasm that feeds the dusk phoenix as nourishment. In bird form dusk phoenixes are graceful black swans or ravens. In human form they're stunningly beautiful with pale skin and dark lustrous hair. (Usually female) A Dusk phoenix cannot truly die as they already partially exist in the realm of the dead to begin with.


Bird of paradise: Phoenix that can control wind,lightning,and rain. In bird form they have long colorful feathers,curved beaks,and large intelligent eyes. (Competing with the standard fire-birds in cuteness!) In human form they tend to have bronze skin with a healthy sheen and look very South American or Native American.Upon resurrection birds of paradise create powerful storms in their wake.


Atar: A psychic race that protects the akashic records and the universe's collective psychic network. When in "our world" Atar look like pale humanoids with somewhat expressionless or disenchanted (though still very human looking) facial features. This coupled with their proclivity to gravitate towards wearing blacks and drab greys often gets them mistaken as "goths' or "emos". When on the astral plane Atars are much more powerful and take on their "true forms" of sentient fluctuating multi-colored balls of swirling energy,each one resembling a mini-cosmos in motion! For the most part Atar are benign observers though certain "rogue Atar" may have more sinister motives. 


Necros: A broad term that encompasses all undead from vampires and zombies all the way to ghouls, liches, wraiths, or animated skeletons. Within the Ultranet-world's earth setting it's suggested many necros were created by Caine's symbiotic armor night-savior but "voiders/husk wearers" are actually something else entirely despite certain similarities to pure strain undead. Non-Cainite "pure" necros are often risen by necromancers, turn themselves undead via elaborate forbidden rituals, or linger in the mortal realm to complete tasks that were left unfulfilled when they died.


Normies: Slang for standard run of the mill humans.


Supers: Short-hand for “super-naturals”.


Flip/s/: A "flip" is slang for someone who changes gender during their soulmorphisis (Awakening). Some in the supernatural community find the word offensive but others could care less! Most flips dealt with gender dysphoria daily before finally going thru their change phase.


 Soul knotting: The ability for supernaturals to share their potential mystic energy,combine their powers to create more powerful attacks,and synchronize better during battle or other dire situations. Soul knotting is only possible between people with exceptionally powerful emotional and spiritual bonds be they friends or lovers. "True love" be it brotherly,sisterly,or romantic is a requirement for this most sacred of techniques.


Threads: "Threads" is the term for indviduals who seem especially influential when the fate of the universe is concerned. They also tend to "weave together", their friendships,rivalries,and love affairs drastically effecting the reality around them.


Malicide: An energy residue that reacts strongly in places saturated with negative emotional trauma where many unfortunate events have accumulated over time.


Remnants: Nightmarish phantasmal creatures that form from residual negativity,embodying the sorrows,twisted desires, or phobias of the people who used to live in the areas where malicide has built up. Usually it takes some sort of "trigger" to stir remnants into motion.


Homunculi: Unlike necros whom rise from the dead on their own, a homunculus is a lifeless body (or several lifeless bodies stitched together) given life by a necromancer. A more affectionate term for a homunculus is a "doll". (Usually reserved for homunculi who are still very beautiful and retain much of their former humanistic qualities.)


Edenites: Humans who could use sorcery via understanding and absorbing the information of certain crystals and "urr stones" found within pieces of the remaining Vulcan's Hammer life ark that rained down upon earth with the crystal children.


The founders of the edenite civilization were Lilith (A crystal child and esperlin herself) and Adam,a human who had been exposed to some of the energies of the ark's power source thus becoming almost immortal himself. (This core would eventually be sunk beneath the bubbling marsh of Eden,creating the "life pools" which greatly prolonged the life-spans of any who submerged themselves within them.)


It is rumored the edenites lived in peace for thousands of years but eventually Adam became corrupted by a certain urr-stone containing Jehovah's soul essence. (Certain scriptures refer to it as the dark gem) Jehovah was able to take over Adam's body as his own and Lilith was reputedly imprisoned and used in experiments to create powerful creatures. (Possible demonic variants of the first homunculi) Eventually Lilith was rescued but not before undergoing physical abuse, heart break, and immense psychological trauma. Certain scholars hypothesize she went into a deep sleep,creating an impenetrable outer stone shell around herself to heal from the torture she underwent.


Eden was scorched and blackened by war between various fractions,the sheer turmoil causing Pangaea (centralized continent) to divide into many lesser continents.


Supernaturals, shamans, chi-users,psychics,nephulim (Rogue averials) and druids sided with Lilith whereas alchemists,necromancers,averials,and human purists sided with Adam. Adam's followers eventually created the Red-Cross whereas other edenites eventually helped create the Silver-cross.


Descendants from edenite ancestry are extremely healthy,long lived,impervious to diseases, and have certain mystic or psychic attributes. (Even if they are in no way "supernaturals" themselves.)


Vulcan's hammer: The largest drifting chunk of the remaining ruins of Avanguard, it was an asteroid saturated with many shardlings (crystal children) and remnants of Avanguardian technology. It is rumored pieces of Vulcan's Hammer that broke off from the main asteroid by being pulled in by earth's gravitational field started the age of Eden.


Ysidril: Lilith's bio engineered life tree that gave birth to younger supernatural races such as elves,orcs,goblins,trolls,fairies,dragons,wyverns,and gryphons whose ancestors emerged from the tree's large pods. Later when Adam took control of Ysidril for himself he used it to create the first homunculi and "other" monsters spliced together specifically for warfare. (Whilst he was possessed by Jehovah thru the dark gem.)


The Woke: Mostly mechanized cyborgs with human brains and complimentary military hardware who were originally created by Daedalus (Mad inventor allied with Jehovah) to enforce a globalist regime (G.U.E.S.T) and to "hunt down and capture" supernaturals.


The great synchronization: During the Woke invasion Vivian James manages to serve as the vessel for humanity's "greater psychic network", linking her consciousness with millions of other "anons" to repel the soulless robotic gustapo. Not only does this destroy a large number of manufactured Woke but it also has the unforeseen side effect of bringing down the veil,causing millions of other unsuspecting "sleep-walkers" to go thru their soul-morphises thus becoming their true supernatural selves. At this point "the hidden world" is no longer hidden and humanity has to deal with the truth.


Spooky space: A term designated by that name By Max,Xander,and their friends when they investigated the disappearance of certain citizens during the 70's. It turns out killers were drawing people with supernatural powers into another dimensional space then agitating the malicide within this shadow-realm to create monsters (remnants) to savagely slay anyone now trapped within "the in-between". Investigations revealed "Spooky space" has the familiar landmarks of our reality but tends to be devoid of other inhabitants. (Well at least beyond the people unfortunate enough to find themselves lost there) The area is covered in strange red and purple foliage as well as large flowers that open and react to physical movement. (This same grouping of mosses and flora also quickly feed on and break down corpses making it the ideal way to dispose of bodies and evidence.) It was learned specially created tuning forks and their own sonic frequencies could teleport people into this zone and draw them out of it again. Max in particular stopped a plot to shift a whole town into spooky-space when a crazed extremist hunter guild was going to broadcast their special frequency using a radio tower.


Mocking tree: Trees within spook-space that stay in the same places but occasionally contort their branches and trunks into different shapes to confuse travelers. The long hole adorned leaves of mocking trees also roll up into large natural wind chimes so whenever winds blow it sounds like laughing or whispering voices.


Cawkos: Extra-dimensional scavenger birds with 6 eyes (3 on either side of their heads) and serrated beaks that at a distance might be mistaken for large ravens. Cawkos are very intelligent and one of the few living animals within Spooky-Space.


Dome of the interwoven martyrs: A huge dome,appearing to be woven out of miscellaneous fossilized corpses,some more human like and others more creature like. It is within this structure Blood-King (Sometimes referred to as King Burgundy) is imprisoned. It is located at the center of Spooky-space. (Or the in-between)


Pod Pumpkins: An organic botanical device in which people submerge themselves within pumpkin shaped pods called operator nodes as the neighboring replicator nodes (Which look more like giant blooming flowers) create green skinned dopple-gangers serving as sensory relay drones and malleable puppets for those still inside the main pods. Reputedly the fey used this device to live out decadent fantasies they'd be ashamed to do "in the flesh". As their heightened senses were linked to their dopple-gangers everything felt "real". The fey discontinued the growth of pod pumpkins when a modified version of them was used to mass produce thousands of pod-people foot soldiers by the unseelie (dark) fey. After the "battle of pods" the seelie (light) fey forbid their continued use and reproduction. It should be noted the life cycle of a "pod person/dopple-ganger" is rather short.


Tuning Tower (Stigmata point): Tuning towers for all intents and purposes look like and function as typical radio towers. However,they all are dug in at ley line nexus points,reverberating at a certain meta-harmonic frequency to maintain "The Veil". During the energy backlash of The Great Synchronization quite a few tuning-towers get overloaded and damaged severely thereby weakening The Veil in the process.


The Veil: The Veil is a harmonic energy field that subdues the supernatural and paranormal. It makes it more difficult for extradimensional and interdimensional beings to cross over into our reality and any miraculous displays of magic,psychic abilities,or shape shifting are often forgotten or "remembered differently" by observers due to The Veil's constant influence. There are certain places where The Veil is weaker and they are often considered "haunted" or "off limits" to the general public. As expected,supernaturals find it very difficult to use their abilities where The Veil is strongest.


Noise: Slang for weird whispers and "otherworldly sounds" that emanate from various electronic devices from time to time. Many academics believe they're ghosts trying to communicate with us and there are brief moments of crystal clarity when we can ease drop on other dimensions and other planes of existence.


Split-head-suit: The split-head suit is a creature that usually dwells on the psychic plane "phased somewhat out of synch with reality" to remain unseen whilst feeding on negative emotions. It tends to prey upon people who are mentally ill because when they're brains are over-taxed by mania or depression their energies are too low or too erratic for them to put up the proper mental defenses to fend off a Split-head's psychic vampirism. After a person is sufficiently drained by multiple feedings a split-head-suit can control them like a puppet. This is usually at the point the victim is encouraged to commit suicide as the split-head-suit gets to feast on their soul expulsions which are far "richer" for their diet than merely snacking on intense feelings.


It is believed these creatures were created as "silent assassins" by the atar during their war with the phoenix born that took place on the astral as well as elemental planes. Most of them were destroyed and decommissioned later on but a few survived. As expected their weakest point are the fleshy tendrils that emerge and thrash about excitedly from their faceless heads that "split open" when they're about to feed. "Ironically" when an autopsy was done on a rare split-head corpse found deep in the Glendale national forest it was discovered their DNA was more plant-like than animal-like.


Memory Merigolds: A strain of mystic exotic flower Elizabeth Mackleigh created after studying the surprisingly very plant-like DNA of a fallen split-head suit. These flowers sprung up all around Gutterdelve,all connected via vines to the "central brain flower". Betty used this "organic memory implantation device" to change the memories of certain citizens. Many previous alliances and friendships were torn asunder by false recollections of "being enemies". This chaos was to help Elizabeth's mentor Daedalus secure control of the town quickly amidst the chaos. (Whereas he'd typically be met by "unified" opposition otherwise.)


Husks: Symbiotic beings created by "The Crimson One" (Blood King/Burgundy King) "husks" work by attaching to "voiders". Voiders are individuals who thru great trauma or simply surviving thru difficult times lost apart of their souls so the husks move in to become a sort of "surrogate substitute" for that particular deadened spiritual fragment. The problem is with that comes a fetish or acute "hunger" that must be indulged in by the husk-bearer on a regular basis. Failure to feed will weaken both the husk and their host alike. Regardless, "the act" that reinvigorates the husk usually has much to do with what aspect of humanity a voider "lost" or denied to partake in along the way. For example ,a lonely scholarly shut-in who avoided the carnal sensations of the flesh will need to have the most sordid,kinky, and naughty sex imaginable to sate his or her symbiotic partner. A warrior who put down his sword for the peaceful life or as repentance before God will suddenly have the urge to slay the wicked and fight worthy foes nightly. Some may even need to eat flesh,consume blood,or feed off "Psychic energy"akin to the necros. (undead) However a husk-bearer is not truly undead. They are an incomplete person suddenly made whole by the shadowy otherworldly being now residing within them. Husks can take on many forms from armors,to weapons,to capes and cowls,to imaginary friends from broken childhoods, and even monstrous representations of a person's own inner psyche. There's always an aspect of the husk that seems "living",moving, and organic.


Though the Blood-King originally created husks to gain direct control of those whom would merge with them, husks all became "sentient", each one possessing their own wants,desires,and goals. This was an unforeseen evolution of their kind and much to the chagrin of their maker whom simply wanted them to serve as "strings" to manipulate potential puppets.


During the "husk rebellion" a knighthood of husks and voiders sealed Blood-King away within a great dome made of their own fossilized woven together bodies, sacrificing themselves to become his eternal prison. Once Blood-King "almost" escaped but was driven back into the hollow dome by Duncan Smith,Max Hemmingway,Xander O'Sheely,Jason Redding,Wendy O'Sheely, Rahman Aigiri,George Mackleigh, and Diane Redding.


Reputedly night-savior is one of the oldest and most powerful husks to ever have existed and proceeded to bind with Adam's son Caine. Akin to other husks, "nightsavior" can plant "husk seeds" within other voiders,impregnating their incomplete beings with infant versions of itself. (In other words,Husk "children".)


Blood-King (Burgundy): Keldor's "creepy brother", Blood-King (More modestly referred to as "Lord Burgundy" by close friends and colleagues!) is not even mentioned in the Avanguardian records. This is probably because he had no interest in The Will Of Creation what so ever but rather preferred to create more grotesque and macabre "things" within his own self created abyss. If Keldor is the stars you could say Blood-King is the darkness between those stars. Regardless, "conflict" and "chaos" fascinated Blood-King and he always detested when things were too orderly and too peaceful. Some say it was Blood-King whom tempted Jehovah and Dahwak into trying to over-throw the whole council but if so, no historian from the "time before time" ever referenced such meetings or conspiratorial suspicions.


The creation of our universe was a nuisance to Blood-King only in so far as it expanded to the point it infringed into his personal domain. Yet Blood-King also saw this as an opportunity to cause ever more chaos and discord,watching at a distance as whole civilizations and species warred with each other to the delightful cacophony of anguished screams,vital fluids spilling upon the ground,and big brilliant explosions.


Blood-King created beings called "husks" to possess and take control of those who would serve as his puppets but in the end the husks developed their own sentience and came to love those they symbiotically bound with more than their original maker. In the "husk rebellion" Blood-King was betrayed by his own children,locked away within an impenetrable dome created from the interwoven fossilized bodies of husks and the hero martyrs merged with them whom sacrificed themselves to cut him off from the material plane.


Though Blood-King has come close to freeing himself from the dome of interwoven martyrs on a few separate occasions, he was always stopped by do-gooding meddlers.


Despite his adversarial relationship with his brother Keldor, Blood-King does not truly desire his demise. He simply likes jumping atop of cosmic mud-puddles to create cataclysmic ripples to see how his sibling will react to the situation. To mere mortals like us that translates as literally hell on earth!

Fractions and important events


UNITY: Splinter-sect of the Red-Cross hunters, they are new executioners who believe supernaturals create negative anomalies and plunge the world into chaos merely by existing. Unity acolytes tend to be atheists, expressing a zealous dedication for what they perceive as “collectivist justice”.


They have a strong hatred for gamers due to an extremely high percentage of gamers actually being sleep-walkers. (Supernaturals who have not experienced a triggered awakening just yet)


Perceiving themselves as “uber progressive” Unity members also harbor contempt for Purity, the red-cross’s more traditional and religious sub-sect.


Tending to consider doll-making (necromancy) as “old hat” Unity prefers to augment its’ hunters with cybernetics and genetic alterations. Some unity members are even supernaturals who have been duped into seeing their own kind as the enemy.


Unity believes the purge of supernaturals will be the death of the old world of superstitions and witchcraft. From those ashes a eugenic united scientific utopia can be created.


PURITY: Considered “out-dated and frigid” Purity none the less still has a rather impressive power-base. It’s members are very religious and bringing “supernaturals” into their ranks is considered a grave violation and breech of their staunchest of protocols.


Purity members use their knowledge of doll-making (necromancy) to create powerful undead servants called homunculi and occasionally to even enhance their own abilities.


Whereas Unity congregates at “scheduled conventions” Purity prefers the sacred walls of cathedrals and churches. (As they are hold-overs of the Red-Cross's more traditional values.)


S.O.U.L. : (Supernatural Outreach Unified League) Named after the popular game franchise “Soulmorphisis”, Soul is a rag-tag underground resistance dedicated to protecting and hiding supernaturals from those who would do them harm.


The group was started after Unity and Purity both became more aggressive.


Soul’s main base is Elysium, a parallel realm that exists just outside of mundane reality. Certain special arcade cabinets can be used to travel between our realm and the Elysian realm.


SILVER-CROSS: Despite being as religious as the red-cross, silver-cross members are egalitarians, trying to keep peace among both humans and super-naturals simultaneously.


It was the first silver-cross pope who ended the hundred year war between norrmals and supers. Silver-cross followers tend to be kindhearted and generous to all innocent people in need, even those whom do not share their own beliefs.


Whereas Unity and Purity are very loosely allied by their overall disdain for supernaturals, The silver-cross and SOUL are aligned by their like minded pursuit of tolerance, equality, and freedom.


Yet even with The silver-cross’s best intentions some supernaturals hold a grudge against them because of The Veil. Though The Veil was created to hide supernaturals from the prying eyes of normals with the goal of ending persecution, it also greatly restricted their powers, leaving supers vulnerable against hunters who can still somehow sense their presence…


RED CROSS: Originally "the red cross" (Sometimes known as the red hand) were the remnants left over from the So'Jin order who served Adam even after he became possessed by Jehovah thru the dark gem. Many believe it was this fraction that started the roots of the Abrahamic religions though later there would be arguments between these So'Jin as to which belief understood "God's will" with more clarity.


The Red Cross was united in its' fear and hatred of magic users, chi users, and supernaturals. Muslims, Christians, and Jewish Zionists all wished to "purify the filth" though they would often declare war on each other whenever there was the opportunity to acquire more land and resources.


However a younger generation in the mosques and churches began sympathizing with supernaturals as they realized their enemies had emotions,hopes,fears,and aspirations the same as pure blooded humans and averials (angels) did. Under Pope Christoph and the shia Sultan Azeer's kinder rule, the silver cross (Known as the silver crescent in the middle east) was formed and dedicated itself to ending the bloodshed against the supernatural people. (The silver cross also found hidden scrolls of All-father Keldor's true teachings and thus now saw him as "the true messiah" instead of Jehovah)


No longer perceived as "the hand of god's judgement" the red-cross were usurped of their power and scattered to the wind. However, their knowledge of high technology,alchemy, and necromancy would ensure they continued to remain a threat well into the modern day.


When Jehovah's advisor Daedalus realized the red cross was losing membership as religion became less popular compared to atheism, he suggested that Jehovah create a new order under a new ideology which none the less held the same goals and encouraged the same zealous fanaticism. This was how "UNITY" came about.....


HAZAAD: The Hazaad were So'Jin who defected from Adam's ranks and swore allegiance to Lilith after he became corrupted. Their greatest hero Enoch (One of Adam's very own sons) was able to defeat his father in a duel and save Lilith from Jehovah's clutches. However, the war between warring So'Jin disturbed the natural life flow of the planet so much Pangea was torn apart into smaller continents due to the aftermath of cataclysmic seismic activity.


Whereas the red-cross went on to influence and create the Abrahamic religions, The Hazaad gave rise to other beliefs which often focused on inner enlightenment,channeling chi, the worship of many deities, and the harmonious trinity between man,woman,and nature.


The remaining Hazaad are on peaceful terms with the silver cross but still abhor the red-cross.


LOKI: Network of trolls and hackers who use the internet to organize events and keep in touch. They do everything from humorous pranks to online vigilantism. Many are disenfranchised youth and "old timers" disenchanted with the present state of authoritarianism. LOKI wages a constant war against political correctness and censorship.


THE BUREAU: The elusive "men in black",they are spooks in suits who handle the government's dirty laundry whist also dealing with supernatural and extraterrestrial threats to security.


Dark-horse: Dark-horse is "the protagonists" whom have formed a supernatural investigative guild to pretty much prevent a foreclosure on the O'Sheely manor. While the group starts out humble by merely looking into ghost haunts and creature sightings,eventually they are forced into confrontations with Unity,Purity,and even the covenant of supernaturals. The name "Dark-horse" was chosen because it represents something mundane and normal (a horse) yet simultaneously something mysterious,unknown,unseen, fantastical and otherworldly.(Dark)


NIGHTLIGHT: When George Mackleigh first defected from the red-cross hunters guild he was apart of, he wanted to create a group of homunculi to actually protect good supernaturals whilst weeding out and slaying the bad ones. The name of the group was going to be christened "nightlight" and it's pretty much a given Robby,Nathan, and Deidre were being trained as night light's first agents. However, when Betty's scheme messes with the memories of the residents in Gutterdelve, George and his wards are given more adversarial "false recollections" of dealing with the other characters making them believe they are still loyal to the red-cross with their sole purpose being to hunt down and eliminate all supernaturals. However, Betty's plans to initially "mentally reprogram" the town and her very own family backfire when it is discovered she not only manipulated everyone's memories but she's also been in league with Daedalus for many decades (And it was Daedalus's suggestion that she marry George and report back to him on his ex apprentice's various projects and experiments.)


COVENANT OF SUPERNATURALS: Mistreated and misunderstood for thousands of years, it's understandable why certain supernaturals would have extra large chips on their shoulders from all the abuse carried out by prejudiced "normies". Unfortunately not every supernatural resolves this by seeing a therapist! Some of them outright take their rage out on humanity,literally declaring a war on mankind.


The origins of "the covenant" date back to the elf-king Oberon who had united many of the supernaturals against the churches of Europe. It was a dark time of suffering for supers as many of them were burnt at the stake as witches,hunted and paraded as trophies, and even gang raped by soldiers if they so happened to have an unnatural allure of fey beauty. Oberon took advantage of this,offering sanctuary to his own while giving supernaturals a chance for revenge.


However,as the war dragged on Oberon became "insane". Many began to see the true madness behind his cracking charismatic facade and thus they left the covenant to create their own fractions. What Oberon ordered to be done to the humans was so perverse,cruel,and genocidal a large contingency of his own troops defected,unable to partake in

the worst of atrocities they were told to carry out.


One of these 'covenant turn-coats" by the name of Lachesis was able to have a peaceful talk with Christoph. The young beautiful sorceress and the kindhearted pope were able to end the war with the help of the silver-cross. Shortly thereafter 'The Veil was put in place to create the illusion both humans and supers were one and the same.


Yet even centuries later into modern times there are rumors the covenant lives again and is reorganizing itself under a new overlord...


SO'JIN: The most ancient order of Edenites, So'jin believed in "the flow" (a current of soul energy that connects all living things) and declared themselves enemies of "the hubris". (name given to the negativity that suppresses the flow as it causes stagnation,suffering,destruction,and decay.


Whereas the silver-cross and red cross developed advanced technologies based upon the knowledge given to them by the pieces of Vulcan's hammer,So'jin preferred the use of chi energy, magic,martial arts and psychic powers.


The most iconic features of the so'jin were their "soul armor" and "soul weapons". Though a so'jin's weapons and armors were made of normal materials at first, as they would chip away and take damage those holes and cracks would be substituted and filled in with eerily glowing "spiritual essence". Thus the so'jin who had seen the most combat would end up encompassed in armor and wielding weapons formed entirely of their own mystic life forces, reshaped via use of will power, devotion,faith,chakras,and imagination.


Today the numbers of the so'jin are very few though a few secret cabals and hidden temples still remain.


Magi-tool: A cylindrical object edenites used to channel and shape their magic or psychic energy into various tools made of raw energy. Slang for a magi-tool is a "wand". Less experienced So'Jin would also use magi-tools as conduits to form energy based weapons but these tended to be less effective than a more experienced so'jin's "soul" based armaments.


Area 52: Underground facility that supported experiments that would be considered unconventional" or "inhumane" by the Geneva convention. Not only did Area 52 support the creation of futuristic weaponry, war-bots, security AI, and bio-weapons but it was also known to gather research from captured supernaturals and captured extraterrestrials. Eventually Area 52 was dismantled after a raid conducted by the FBI under Roy Ferguson.


Grim-hold: Island fortress prison Daedalus created as a "rehabilitation camp" for people with political views opposite to his own,hackers against his globalist regime, or supernaturals at large. As you may have guessed, cruel experimentation, psychological torture,sleeper-agent indoctrination, and death via firing squad were normal procedures there. After The Great Synchronization,the prisoners riot and are eventually returned to their homes by the national guard. (After-all, most "political prisoners" are merely innocent people being contained for controversial opinions or information that could be harmful to the current narrative. Aka,"anyone" opposed to Daedalus's tyranny and his ideology whom simultaneously know many of his dirtiest secrets.)


Geo-Don: Geo-Don (Or Geodon) is a global conglomerate that masquerades as a pharmaceutical company whilst conducting research into paranormal activity,military technology,cross dimensional travel, and the creation of more powerful bio-weapons that can effectively be used against supernaturals. One of their biggest blunders was creating a "health supplement energy drink"(Branded simply as "The Juice") that literally turned some people into flesh eating zombies. (Yes,they share a lot in common with Umbrella but Umbrella does not exist within Gutter-Delve's particular reality!) Geo-Don's symbol is two cupped hands gently holding the planet earth. It is considered one of Daedalus's most prized business ventures.


Whimsy Studios: Started by chain smoking animation guru Jacky Duval, Whimsy studios eventually became an entertainment power-house and is responsible for many of today's best movies and cartoon series.However, at some point is was "bought out" by Geo-Don and at present is merely a way to generate a lot of money whilst syphoning additional funds into Geodon's more questionable experiments. Since this unholy merger the once beloved shows and characters have been turned into "propaganda machines" and mouthpieces for Daedalus and his elite underlings. There are rumors certain theme parks apart of the Whimsy studios brand have "secret underground lairs" which are the equvilent of "wrong-think detainment facilities" and mad scientist laboratories. For now based on current intel this can neither be confirmed or denied.


Pantheon: Cultists who use their collective wills to bend reality to their whims and to create their own living gods and goddesses by subjecting certain gifted people (Usually supernaturals) to painful near death rituals whilst binding them with bloody sacraments etched into their flesh to make them loyal to the "hive-mind" of the group. In this way the cult can share their energy with their selected deity,increasing the choosen's powers one hundred fold. (All this while said gods or goddesses cannot turn on their masters and mistresses due to the scriptures carved into their bodies making them divine slaves similar to djinn and genies.) Other names for Pantheon are "The Miracle Society" "The Ordained Circle" "Green Glade" and simply "The Order". On the surface Pantheon members seem to blend together a lot of ritualistic symbolism from Judeo Christian beliefs, Celtic paganism, Native-American shamanism,Buddhism,and Hinduism. As such it makes it easy fot them to assimilate into other cultures. Pantheon is directly against Jehovah and most other preexisting deities as they seek to replace "the old gods" with their "new gods" to bring in a glorious "new" age.


Cadence: A hodge podge of military mercenaries,ex-government agents,supernaturals,and monster slayers who banded together to handle other-worldly threats and paranormal anomalies to keep earth safe. They are very identifiable by their grey body armor with red or blue highlights and tend to have technology similar to the U.S. military. (Albeit a tad more futuristic.) It's rumored Cadence is often the sword arm of the Silver-Cross but they are none the less independents whose goals merely align with those whom they help. Their slogan is "Many voices,one song!"


Legionaries: "Legionaries" were elite soldiers that the modern Vatican church trained to slay supernaturals who had become "monsters" due to their atrocious actions done against humans. (In defiance of the UN peace accords) Legionaries were greatly respected by the Red-Cross but when Daedalus cut funding to the Lazarus project to build The Woke, the legionaries felt betrayed they were being replaced by machines so they defected. The very first legionaries who abandoned the church were the forefathers whom created "Cadence".


Lazarus armor: Trademark holy "power-armor" of the legionaries that can only be operated by someone who has undergone the proper "baptism" procedure. (In which they literally "die" for up to 10 minutes before being brought back from the void) The armor is especially effective versus direct magical and psychic assaults whilst simultaneously offering protection against more "standard" bullets and explosives. Many members of Cadence wear variants of the Lazarus design.

Avanguardian God War


"In the beginning there was the All-father Keldor & All-mother Ohna. Between them they created "The Will Of Creation", a giant crystalline entity made of amnellium that could solve complex equations and create life.


From The Will Of Creation, the first races (The first children of Keldor & Ohna) came to be.


The angelic averials were law makers and justicars, charged with the task of ruling over Avanguardian politics with fair impartiality.


The demonic esperlin were miners,blacksmiths,inventors,and builders, Avanguard's proud working class. With their knowledge of "devil forging" they could modify themselves with extra limbs,membranic wings,powerful barbed tails, and horns to increase their profiency. Additionally esperlin women (succubi) were very beautiful and erotic,often seving as concubines and entertainers.


The Dandalion grew Avanguard's sprawling gardens and forests, using their knowledge of cross pollenation and genetics to create a plethora of new plants and animal life. Though most dandalion merely looked like mixed variations of giant insects, their queens often took on attractive humanoid forms in order to negotiate and delegate with the other Avanguardian peoples.


Whereas the Dandalion had created the great gardens and great forests, the moon-touched were charged with maintaining them. A tribal people, moon touched had both humanoid and animal features, using their natural affinity for gathering,hunting,gardening,and agriculture to create a thriving society harmoniously in tune with their own environment.


Lastly were the Alu, the rarest race of all, a people who had the traits of averials and esperlin,both angelic and demonic in either appearance or their abilities. The Alu were in charge of maintaining balance and blending in with all rungs of civilization to observe its' inner workings. Many believed the Alu were "the first race" and may have been the species Keldor and Ohna actually hailed from themselves.


At first all the races got along and shared their knowledge,building a Utopian society. Unfortunately this was not to last......


The arch angel Jehovah and esperlin devil-forger Dahawk used their combined knowledge of politics, demonic soldier enhancement, technology, and tactics to create an oppressive army. Their goal? Take The Will Of Creation away from the senate to become the ultimate rulers of all of Avanguard.....


Yet this deadly alliance was met with resistance by Dracon Aluvia Knoss, an Alu freedom-fighter who struck down both his half brother Dahawk and Jehovah.


Wanting to distribute The Will's power equally amongst the people, Knoss used the star-shatter-hammer to shatter it into many shards so it would not remain in the hands of tyrants and despotic dictators....


Yet this very act of defiance and desired equality caused a cascade effect, destroying Avanguard as all Avanguardians were encased in amnellium crystal themselves,left to drift thru space.......


Simultaneously our universe was born into existence from the aftermath of Avanguard's fall as many planets and layered dimensions spun into an intricate tapestry across the cosmos. As stars burst into life this also created the phoenix-born,children of the stars who could wield cosmic energies and speak in any tongue......


 Avanguardians and phoenix born would be found on various worlds after raining down from the sky. Upon awakening they would be worshiped as gods and goddesses or reviled as monsters.


On earth Avanguardians and phoenix born bred with humans creating many strands of new mystic races which our historians would label as "supernaturals". Upon the stage of history a new saga is born as Avanguardians, phoenix born, normal humans, and supernaturals endure periods of struggling for peaceful coexistence or genocidal dominance throughout our partially hidden and "classified" time-line. This is perhaps where your story begins......."

Eden lost


The multi colored glowing crystals rained from the sky. Wherever they struck ground lush sprawling jungles and strange geological formations would rise around them. Soon the bewildered humans encountered the shardlings, beautiful male and female deities encased inside these crystals. As these shardlings were worshiped, the crystals around them cracked and fell away, freeing them from their long slumbers.


Among the shardlings, the beautiful demoness Lilith remembered the most from "the forgotten time". From her we learned to grow bountiful harvests, use technology, and hone our bodies and minds to psychic and magical perfection. Within the valley of Eden those within our civilization lived thousands of years,nourished within the mystical life springs that had emerged from some of the sky-rocks that had cracked open.


We were told the shardlings were the remaining remnants of the first races. The Averials (Angels) had been the overseers. The esperlin (demons) had been the forgers,entertainers, and builders. The dandalion (space faring intelligent insects) had been the life carriers, the beast folk had been hunters,gatherers,and agriculturists, and The Alu (Who had the traits of both angels and demons) had been "the council", ensuring the rules and edicts created from the averial overseers were fair to the other races.


Together the races had created a sprawling floating utopia and at its' center had been "The Will Of Creation", a giant crystal shard of infinite possibilities. At first all had went well but unfortunately soon a war erupted as three distinct fractions fought over how The Will Of Creation would be used. This conflict destroyed the 1st city and the great shard yet ironically this very act had birthed our universe as well........


Lilith and the other shardlings had been refugees from that great conflict,encased within smaller crystals and put into hibernation as an after effect of The Will Of Creation's shattering. It was the remnants of that event that rained down from our skies, seeding our world with mystic energies,slumbering Avanguardians, and the damaged machines of the gods. Additionally the cascade of the big bang created the phoenix born,cosmic travelers and star children who could speak in many tongues.


Soon we helped Lilith create Ysidril, and from this great life tree other races were born such as the fey,dryads,nympths,gyphons,wyverns, dragons,goblins, and orcs. Still other races came into being when shardlings copulated with chosen human mates. Indeed, Lilith had fallen in love with a strong tribal chief named Adam and from them the lilim seers were born.


Yet even our age of peace and prosperity was not to last. Lilith's dear friend Sharea who had been a Dandalion shardling was driven into a grief striken frenzy by a painful mutating virus that soon spread among her hive. Creatures of pure devouring instinct and rage , these "turned dandalion" would become known as "the phage" and were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Edenites.


Though Adam had trained a contingency of valiant and resourceful male and female knights the so'jin were not quite prepared for their battle with the phage. Many fortified walls fell and many settlements were completely wiped out.


Going on a solitary quest Adam sought the answer to stop the phage once and for all. By this time he was a loving father of 3 daughters and 3 sons and he was not remotely ready to yield in defeat. During a dangerous climb up the side of a volcanic mountain, Adam found the dark gem, an unusual sentient stone. The gem said it would give Adam the answers he sought "if" he allowed the stone itself to lodge itself into his forehead. It was in this way the war-criminal and arch angel Jehovah who had started the great war in the 1st city was able to obtain a new host, Adam's body becoming the new battery for his own life force. Yet Jehovah was as good as his word, sharing schematics of "new weapons" that would help the so'jin and Adam in ending the phage threat once and for all....


With the final blow struck against Sharea by Adam's soul blade, all that was left to do was for Lilith to mourn the death of her once friend. Holding Sharea in her arms, Lilith wept stroking the hair of the woman she had loved like her own sister....


It would seem as if civilization continued as normal. We rebuilt our walls and our settlements. The mutating effect the phage had inflicted upon the animal and plant life had resided and our harvests once again flourished.


Yet a dark shadow had fallen over Adam's disposition. He was no longer the loving father and caring husband he had once been. All his energy went into using Ysidril to make living weapons so as to ensure future threats against Eden could be dealt with swiftly and proficiently. At least that what he told the citizenry. In truth he wanted to have obsessive compulsive control over every aspect of Edenite society right down to the smallest most inconsequential details. Jehovah had begun worming his way more into Adam's thoughts, manipulating the chieftain in such subtle ways he did not even realize it.


The so'jin became a fascist regime, extracting harsh punishments for the smallest of transgressions. Those who spoke up against Adam were outright silenced and slain.


Lilith could no longer sit idly by as Adam descended into madness. Secretly she gathered the so'jin who had expressed discontent and dismay over the change in their once gallant leader. These so'jin became known as "The Hazaad" and began organizing a grass roots rebellion against Adam,creating their own underground network. In the meanwhile Adam had grown so cruel and so merciless he had begun experimenting on his own wife,using Lilith's life essence and Ysidril to create ever more powerful bio-monsters under his command.


A violent civil war shook Eden to such an extent our primary content of Pangea was broken apart into smaller sub continents. The hero and young so'jin Enoch was forced to fight his father Adam in a bitter duel to save his mother Lilith. Though he had succeeded our once proud civilization lay in ruin. We would never be as prosperous as we had once been......

Human versus Supernatural 100 year war


"During the medieval ages the holy church was fighting a long drawn out war against the supernaturals. It was a time of bigoted fear-mongering when people were swayed by propaganda and petty superstitions.


Caught in a dead-lock and losing land to their enemies, the inquisition of the puritan order had divided into two fractions,each with their own outlooks on how to handle the situation. The silver-cross had grown sympathetic to the suffering victims and casualties lost from the endless battle. They suggested on reaching some kind of truce with the supernaturals and began devising plans to help supernaturals integrate themselves into human society.


However, the red-cross believed all supernaturals were hell spawn abominations. They insisted the only way to end the dark-ages of pestilence and plagues was to slay every-last non-human to ever have been born. They also believed in the theory of "Luring",that sentient beings of inherently magical or psychic origins attracted monstrous invaders and evil spirits into our realm from other dimensions.


Yet under the wise and progressive strategies of the kindhearted pope Christoph,the hundred year war between humans and non-humans finally ended. Priests used special malachite statues to create "The Veil", a mystic barrier that could make supernaturals look like normal humans. In this way they could live without fear of judgement and persecution. Under The Veil even paranormal occurrences would seem more mundane and less threatening.


Disgusted by the harsh actions of the blood thirsty witch-hunters,Christoph disbanded the red-cross. They were cast out as honor-less vagabonds and war criminals. But the red-cross did not die as it should have. In secret red-cross members created new cabals and plotted revenge both on the silver-cross and the supernaturals that had once been their quarry and sport. Soon many of them managed to infiltrate all rungs of society. Delving into the black arts, necromancy, and perverted alchemy, the red-cross learned to create homunculi and mimics,obedient undead shape shifting creatures who could smell out non-humans even through The Veil.


Unknowing of their own ancestral powers,many innocent supernaturals were slain by the reorganized red-cross hunter's guild and their loyal monsters. The very Veil that had once saved the lives of non-humans now locked away their means to protect themselves, becoming a lethal detriment against their overall survival....."

Modern Times


"In the 70's a loving married couple started their own game. This game was called "Soulmorphisis" and it used a combination of beautifully illustrated cards and a series of maps and miniatures that allowed young people to role-play out their wildest fantasies within a strategy format.


Soulmorphisis sold phenomenally well and during the 80's the Japanese company Pretendo bought rights to create video game counterparts of it. Soulmorphisis became a household name and gamers began to host large conventions and gatherings. However,tides changed with the tragic suicide of Wendy O'Sheely,the woman who had done the illustrations for Soulmorphisis up to the day of her death. Xander O'Sheely (who had designed the rules and created the lore for Soulmorphisis) fell into a melancholy grief-stricken silence after his wife's passing.


During Wendy's funeral gamers from around the world attended en-mass to show their support and to pay their respects. Strangely enough,Wendy's pale face and body within the opened casket looked just as young and vibrant as the day her and Xander announced the first Soulmorphisis publication in 1975.


Following this turbulent event, a series of strange occurrences suggested certain individuals who played Soulmorphisis regularly began developing strange unexplained powers and abilities. The press kicked up mass hysteria, resulting in a total recall of Soulmorphisis card decks and videogame cartridges from store shelves.


Shortly thereafter,the media declared war on gamers while promoting a negative image of gaming as a whole. The possession of Soulmorphisis paraphernalia became highly illegal. Yet the gamers rebelled,continuing to play Soulmorphisis in secret whilst fighting back against the slander simultaneously.


A game that awakens the dormant paranormal potential within its' players.....did Xander and Wendy create Soulmorphisis to give supernaturals a way to resist The Veil's constraints to fight back against the red-cross hunters? That very well maybe the case......."

The Place

iu_100704_869871.jpg

Known as a mining town,Gutter-delve was put on historical maps of importance for discovering a "strange meteorite ore". Supposedly the otherworldly new elements extracted from the ore could cause unusual supernatural phenomenon such as hauntings and dimensional rifts,especially where ley-lines crossed into nexus points. By 1904 it was speculated the deep valley the town was constructed atop of was initially a huge crater left by a piece of asteroid that had impacted in that area millions of years ago. Additionally the town is known for Blugoo lake (So deep in some places it has tunnels and trenches leading into magma hot pockets and subterranean caves ),abandoned theme park island from when Whimsy studios fell on difficult times, and has reputation for being a "safe haven" for unusual folk with strange talents.


In times past the most powerful families in the region kept a fragile peace,forming a council to protect its' eccentric inhabitants from outside influences. However,trouble within the Mackleigh household has possibly perked the curiosity of a sinister outside influence that has a troubling history with that lineage's current patriarch...........

Introduction

iu_100703_869871.jpg

Gutterdelve: closet cases (Bump In The Night) is its own unique setting. It's a dark version of earth where the supernatural and paranormal are less "hidden" and more brazenly up in our collective faces!


Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds due to found extraterrestrial artifacts and simply having to go toe to toe with other-worldly eldritch threats.


Being a "supernatural" comes with longer sustained youth and great power but with creatures and even hidden organizations that hunt them relentlessly, there's still plenty to be scared of for people who have psychic,shape-shifting, and magical aptitudes.


Most humans aren't even aware of the secret wars and skirmishes happening around them. However, those unlucky enough to get caught up in the horrors and chaos behind the veil of normalcy tend to come out of it changed forever or simply become another unsolved missing-person statistic in the event they meet a grisly demise.


Still, there are precious things worth living and fighting for....love,friendship,romance,and the erotic night-life of sex,flesh,spirit,and strange sensual secrets....


***************************************************************************

Setting & Political Climate

iu_100706_869871.jpg

In the modern day atheism,agnosticism, and social engineering have gained more leverage than religion and conservative values. Even though the supernatural world exists,people tend to be much more skeptical. The realm of the paranormal is perceived as "meta-physical-super-science" which simply has not been completely analyzed just yet. (But any day now "the labs" will have the answers!)


The civil rights movement of the 50's-70's ushered in freedom and humanitarian aid for minorities,homosexuals,and women. In the beginning this was a good thing that brought about many wondrous and long needed reforms to the labor force,public housing,educational system,justice system,and hospitals. Humanity as a whole advanced by leaps and bounds....


Unfortunately, certain members of the Global Unitarian Equality Syndicate Triumvirate began becoming radicalized, creating resentment and bigotry between different groups of people by using divisive language,identity politics,targeted hate campaigns,and revisionist history. "Morality Policing Extremists" had waved the flag of peace while simultaneously sewing the seeds of war. Without knowing it these zealous idealists had become their own monster,no better than the racist & bigoted pundits they once claimed to abhor.


Some believed this was done to destroy democracy,to shoe-horn in authoritarian martial law by ripping apart the family unit to make everyone more reliant on the government. Others believed that the rich and opulent feared that the midde-class and poor might unite against them due to a failing economy so they utilized their puppets to spread paranoia and distrust among the common wealth,making citizens segregate themselves into smaller more manageable sub-cultures.


It wasn't before long that the G.U.E.S.T. regime realized that "entertainment" could be used as propaganda. Measures were taken to manipulate musicians,celebrities,directors,writers,artists, and game designers into creating content that pushed their radical ideology. Works of fiction and historical records that didn't coincide with "the narrative" were burnt into piles of ashes,locked within vaults, and sunken beneath the ocean's turbulent waves . Imaginative creators who refused to promote a certain narrative were belittled,bullied,and vilified into silence and obscurity.


Only something unforeseen happened...."the gamers" fought back. Those who were considered anti-social,geeky,and weird yet "harmless" refused to let their hobby come under-siege. Most frightening to the opposition,gamers HAD NOT bought into their spin. Gamers were diverse yet united. They were every gender,every race,every creed,every political affiliation,every sexuality,every age,and every nationality yet "something" had strengthened their bonds of camaraderie exponentially.


Lackeys tried intimidation,insurrection,diversion, and terror tactics but the gamers would not budge. To the government it was a minor nuisance but to the hidden shadowy organizations behind the curtain "this" was a real threat.


"Gamers" tended to be sleep-walkers,supernaturals whose powers were held back by the influence of The Veil,a harmonic field that subdued psychic and magic energies. Yet the card-games and role-playing games based on "Soulmorphisis" By Xander and Wendy O'Sheely were subconsciously teaching gamers how to hack through the Veil's frequency to manifest their powers in reality.


Despite a recall and ban of all Soulmorphisis products,the gamer under-ground was still finding ways to distribute them quickly via the internet and more dubious shipping routes. The war between supernaturals,fascists, and "hunters" has begun.....

Even in the geek community we worship the human form like the Greeks did! That is to say whether it's anime,comic books,or videogames I can confidently say most characters are attractive in some way. I used to not have a problem with this. In a world of super humans and eldritch horrors it stands to reason you'll live longer if you're in good shape! You're also going to have a hyped up metabolism if you fight world ending level threats everyday.


Still, when all our precious hobbies suddenly went mainstream I feel as if "normies" didn't understand why these characters were so appealing. Sure, I've seen many females cosplay as Chun Li,Wonder-woman,or Storm but I doubt they all deeply empathize with why we as nerds "truly" love them. Chun Li is caring,unrelenting as an Interpol agent, and at one point even helps run an orphanage. Wonder-woman is strong yet still demure, courageous yet simultaneously earnest. Storm often conquers her fears with fierce will-power and has always been one of X-men's better leaders. Sure, you can hit the gym,get a tan,and technically look as "hawt" as any of these fictional women but that doesn't mean you can imitate that special spark that gave these pop-cultural icons such loyal followers.


Recently "Project-Melody" exploded onto Chaturbate and rose up the rankings of most popular E-fap girl. You would think this would not be a big deal but apparently certain cam-girls got really pissed off someone in a VR suit with an anime avatar could snag more viewers. Curious I watched some of Melody's material and at first was a bit underwhelmed. Certainly as an artist I appreciated her design. (Very futuristic night-club noir mixed with Jem & the holograms and just a drop of cyber-punk dystopia!) But nothing she did was "amazing". Then it hit me. Melody was talking to her audience. She was laughing at their jokes and discussing everything from favorite anime to other more every-day trivialities. I know I'm going to seem hackneyed for typing this but "kindness" is something many people treasure. In this fucked up world of "social media" we are all put thru the meat grinder then scrutinized and judged both for our online histories along with any absurd "micro faults" silicon valley spun algorithms and anal retentive self proclaimed internet vigilantes and witch-hunters come up with out of the blue on a daily basis. So yeah, maybe it's pleasant to talk to someone who doesn't see us as degenerate freaks for our sexual fetishes or outright demands that we give her money because she's "so much better than we are". Melody is winning because she projects a personality that's equal parts fun tom-boy,optimistic nymphomaniac,best friend, and "awesome milf". In this cold nihilistic age where everyone is about themselves or out to shill for a fast buck Melody radiates a warm aura of nurture,familiarity,patience,acceptance,and sanctuary. She's the same kind of nostalgia as going to one of those much smaller and more old skool game cons,comic cons, or anime cons back in the day where it really was just us geeks and nerds and no one else!


If you are a "pretty cam girl" who feels insecure about losing your patrons to a virtual personality perhaps you should do some soul searching and ponder the following!


-Are you entitled to people's money?

No,you're not! While you certainly have the right to "ask" for money and "thank" anyone nice enough to fork over some cash the harsh truth is you're not a "superior being" entitled to the credits other people have earned thru their own sweat and toil.


-"But I work out to look this good!"

Yeah welp,no one is forcing you to do that at gun-point. If anything you should exercise for health reasons even if you do not have an audience to show off your assets to.


-"Why do trolls leave me mean comments?!"

That depends. Are you "nice" to your audience or do you treat them like shit? Do you have contempt for your audience and secretly despise them? (Because trust me,people will pick up on that after awhile.) Do you hurl your pets at the nearest wall with the same intensity as Captain America throwing his shield? If responses are souring there's usually legitimate reasons for that! (And this is why developing a nice personality is just as important as using your thigh-master!)


-We sacrifice our reputations and our bodies so YOU can get off!

Oh honey,do tell! Because I have access to free porn 24/7 and can draw my own waifus getting railed any way that gives me a raging erection! Aka,you are certainly not sacrificing yourselves for me! As for the guys and lesbian gals who "do" donate to you? You played with the box and "they" came. Again,you're not the victim,this was all your choosing! Also,how are you "sacrificing yourselves" eating healthily and working out? Last time I checked those were beneficial activities that prolonged your life spans! (Unless you're doing some hardcore heroin,meth,or crack to "ease your guilt" or "get a rush" in which case you should get clean and not go into something that secretly makes you feel bad about yourself in the first place. Duh!)


-Yas Queens slay FOREVER!

Not really......Melody already proves that as well as sex dolls,potential sex androids in the future,sexy holograms,and the friggin wall! (Because there ain't no one "human" whom looks young and beautiful forever!) Better learn some valuable practical "job skills" as well as "socializing skills" to fall back on during those lonelier and more difficult cat-lady years!

"Oh Morrigan...you are so beautiful to meee,can't you seeee?! Lulz!"


When I was an aspiring illustrator both Marvel and Capcom (Hurr!) played a pivotal role in how I typically designed my own original characters. Whether it was X-men,Spiderman, or Capcom's Street Fighter franchise (A terrible snes port of SF Alpha 2 being my favorite most played brawler for the longest time!) I owe a lot to these companies as an illustrator and creative story-teller. When attending Schenk Job-Corps I'd be exposed to other "positive insanity" such as the Resident Evil franchise (Which back in the 90's looked more realistic and terrifying than anything else at that moment frozen in my memory save for Silent Hill) and later in college I'd pick up Rival Schools,Resident evil Nemesis, Marvel Versus Capcom 1, and Vampire Savior,the third Dark-Stalkers game for my PS1. As unbelievable as it seems I preferred MVC1 over MVC2 for rather silly reasons such as thinking its' soundtrack was superior and Onslaught was a much better boss selection than whatever the heck that "thing" in MVC2 was! Yeah, MVC2 had every character on that ridiculous roster you could possibly fathom but by that point Capcom had already been guilty of recycling sprites (Both from the Alpha series and the previous Marvel entries) so that coupled with the fact there was no story line or endings what so ever reduced MVC2 merely to a passing amusement for me I'd play in arcades yet I wasn't really set on owning it for a console. A good thing too as it probably pushed the playstation 1 to its' absolute limits! (Aka, the arcade version was likely the best version so I doubt I missed out!)


Anyway, "fast forward" a few decades and here I am at 42, having experienced "the good times" and "bad times" of both the comic book and gaming industries. I never thought I'd see an era where comic books got used to push "woke agendas" about gender pronouns,identity politics,the evils of capitalism,how loving your own country makes you a fascist,and "social justice" but alas, here we are! (I also didn't expect all those "game journo pros" to start talking smack about their own audience as if true gamers were nothing more than lepers, literal Nazis,poor wretches with internalized misogyny,pervert neckbeards,incels, and pariahs that should be sent off to the nearest gulags!) Luckily MVC3 was still made within a safe microcosm of that turbulent cultural climate when Stan Lee was still alive whilst Capcom retained enough "common sense" to continue to cater to its' core consumers as opposed to a bunch of easily offended pumpkin latte slurping fake cry-baby fans whose "support" of these companies usually ended after buying a cheap T-shirt with Wolverine or Megaman on it!


From MVC1 we have a return of a story and actual ending for characters. It's not that deep or riveting but I give props because it is there. Additionally every character has their own theme-song and most of them range from awesomely powerful Metal riffs to memorable wind chimes and flutes. Aka,most of that awkward "jazzy-jazz stuff" is gone though when you go into training mode that god-awful riff of "I'm gonna take you for a ride" is still present and as grating as ever! (I know some people "love" that beat out of nostalgia but c'mon, does it really belong in a game where heroes from different universes band together to stop the ultimate evils from destroying planet earth? To me it would be more at home in Craxy Taxi or some other zany driving simulator!)


By now most of you have studied the roster and it's a good one! Not quite as chunky as MVC2 yet unlike "Infinite" we do have actual X-men here and a few of the odd balls actually prove themselves to be exceptionally effective. (Even C-Viper who is one of the few characters introduced in SF4 I did not take an immediate shine to and that random Shape-shifting Skrull guy who none the less looks really fun to play as!) The DLC characters are thrown in including Jill Valentine whose absence even on the best console versions made me originally give this game a hard pass. (Yeah, I adore Jill that much!) Also, if your are a fan of capcom's somewhat more obscure titles this game will put a massive smile on your face! I mean we have Phoenix Wright representing as well as Viewtiful Joe,Arthur,Firebrand,Frank West and Amaratsu! That's pretty darned sweet! I was somewhat saddened there was no Samanoske from Onimusha but frak it,the Inclusion of Dante,Trish,and Vergil made it up to me! Not to mention in addition to Jill I get Wesker,Nemesis, and Chris Redfield! Lastly I realize Megaman fans are gonna feel gyped the Blue Bomber is not present but I was so happy to see Zero and Tron Boone! (Did I mention that there are Dark-Stalkers characters beyond Morrigan too? Why hello Hsien Ko and Felicia!)


What really saves this game though is the game-play. MVC as a series already upped the ante with ridiculously over powered special attacks,higher jumping,and the ability to "dash in" to close distance quicker between you and your opponents either in the air or on the ground but now there's the "X-factor" that can charge up even your most deadly of deadly techniques and it's always fun to chain ultimate super moves together between all three of your choosen characters! (As expected it's easy to switch allies in and out as well) Even on a potato relic pc such as mine MVC3 looks beautiful and runs perfectly. Whereas certain fighters of mine stutter during certain stages or during certain fights I've not once encountered that problem here. Capcom's choice to use a streamlined simplistic yet pleasant to look at graphic style really benefited them in this endeavor as the frame rate is pure silk!


My only beef is there's not much "meaty content" for the less competitive offline crowd. Yet to be honest, fighters were originally meant to be social events that bring people together. (Be it online or in real life) There is simply something about an unpredictable human opponent whom gradually learns from his or her mistakes that the CPU cannot emulate. Nothing is quite like the thrill of beating your long time rival at the arcades as you later bond as friends over nachos and soda! MVC3: Ultimate is that type of experience. Again,despite the lack of modes I'm still having a lot of fun! (As I grew up with all these characters and the gameplay itself is very addictive.) Whether you Get MVC: Ultimate on sale or for the full 24.99-29.99 price tag it's definitely worth it.


The good

+Frame-rate is as beautiful as Legolas surfing down snow-swept peaks using a dwarven shield as his boogie-board!


+Very robust roster,throwing in characters who previously could only be gotten as dlc.


+A superb selection of "character themes" that are mostly catchy and memorable 


+ A box of nostalgia for any comic book or capcom enthusiast


+A good art gallery


+Character profiles for lore-lovers


+Solid tried and true mechanics


+ A "simple mode" to ease beginners into the action without any hassles


+Reasonable system requirements


+Galactus is the perfect "End boss" for this kind of cross over (Though he can be cheap and kill you off with one or two hits with his super moves)


+ Actual endings and an actual story


+Game is simply nice to look at from the characters themselves to the various exotic locales in which they do battle


+Can "unite" boomers,zoomers,doomers,and shroomers


The bad

-Not many modes beyond "mission" (Same as SF Ultra 4) and training except for an awkwardly implemented card game. I would have been happy with "endless survival" instead!


-Makes Infinite look like trash by comparison! (Though I guess that could be percieved as a "+" too??)


- No Blue-bomber (Wot?!)


-Oh sure, put in C Viper but not M Bison or Cammy


-Galactus has SNK levels of "cheap boss syndrome"!

Recently more information came out about The Finder's cult. Pretty much it was a child trafficking ring that the CIA was involved in that used "new age mysticism bullshit" and "Satanic show-boating" to lure in wealthy easily manipulated idiots bored with their lives whom wanted a "little taste" of that sweet decadent dark-side to spice things up! (I smell Epstein's corpse from here!)


But even if you know about these jerk-faces and this horrendous cult it was NOT what The Satanic Panic was for most "normal people". For a kid like me I was simply angry at the politicians,evangelicals,and soccer moms trying to burn my books,unplug my video games,ban my music,and attack my movies! In other words, those in power once again used easily offended and outraged idiots to drum up a controversy over harmless nothing burgers while behind the scenes the CIA was abusing and trafficking missing children. Imagine if you will all that wasted effort actually put into punishing the perpetrators of this monstrosity instead of government funds uselessly whittled away to put black bars over nipples whilst forcing musicians to have a "safe word version" of their latest hit singles! "This" is why I hate outrage culture and virtue signaling. The mob bitches over inconsequential minuscule micro-aggressions all the while our alphabet soup agencies are helping drug cartels and doing God knows what to our kids!


This is the equivalent of having a gestapo storming my house for hentai,offensive memes, and "crude music" while next door real life orphans are slaving away in a sweat shop and giving out blow-jobs just to survive!

Want to thank my case-worker and her supervisor for being patient with me and finally explaining all this new-housing-program jargon to me in a way I finally could understand. (Third time is the charm!) I've always been grateful for HUD and its' subsidiaries for keeping me under a roof and off the streets, it's just the bureaucracy,paper-work,and sudden changes that whip me into a panicked frenzy sometimes! I apologize if I came off as overly critical of the people helping me,it was merely the stress of having to deal with additional routines I was not yet accustomed to.


Fear and anxiety can really bring out the worst in us sometimes.......
