Lore Dump

Very epok indeed

Dashboard - My Universe

Welcome to a peek into my mind. Everything on this website is canon.

This is Lore Dump, a compelation of whatever I’ve managed to write down at this point in time. This project initially started as a private discord server and this is the v1.0 release of the website!

Due to the structure of the website, there are multiple functionallites that rely on javascript, so I recommend not turning it of for this site

Please note that this website is very much work-in-progress, so a lot of content is missing at the time of witing.

The font is copied from Fancade.css, but appart than that, everything on this website, including the site itself, was created and compiled by Mr. Carrot using tools such as:

Clarifications:

The Universe of Madness terms #1

“Soul” - The embodiment of a being who lives inside said being. It has feelings, but no memories and cannot by any circumstance die (it can however, be trapped/sealed). The will of a soul is absolute, nothing can truly defy it. The souls can be merged if both of the souls agree to it. When a soul’s vessel dies, it is released and travels to find a new suitable vessel

“Magical/Psychic Energy” - The embodiment of whatever is around it (eg the magical energy in an active volcano is based on heat/fire)

“Crystals” - “Crystals” refers to a transparent type of crystal witch grows in caves. They are uncolored when that are first formed, but under normal circumstances it quickly gain color because of its properly of being able to naturally absorb magical energy. When it absorbs enough of the same type of magical energy, it’s hue changes to represent the element it can be used for (eg red for fire blue for water white for ice etc)

“The First God” - Was an incredibly strong being without a face who could weild all elements. They gave up four of elements to their closest allies (fire, lightning, nature and light)

“The Second God” - The first god was eventually killed and the first god’s soul merged with a chosen successor. That successor became known as “the second god” and was a woman in her 20s. She had a strong desire to protect the universe of madness and thought it would be better if her power was more evenly diveded across it, instead of being concentrated at a single planet. So she set out on a journey across the universe in search of determined being that could act as protectors with elemental powers. According to the legends, she gave away her powers until she had nothing left to give and slowly faded away.

The Universe of Madness terms #2

“Soul Manipulation” - Commonly called “magic”. It refers to techniques that uses souls (in most cases the soul in question will be your own, but there are numerous exeptions) in order to manipulate magical energy. The reason why people want to manipulate souls is because the will of a soul is stronger than the forces of nature itself. For example, elementals soul contains the power to control a single element. Almost everyone else have to rely on ancient artifacts or custom made magical items with crystals to be able to manipulate the soul.

“Vessel” - Something that can contain a soul and let said soul be 100% free

“Crystal Golem” - (often shortened to “golem”) If a crystal with sufficient magical energy contained within it, bits of surrounding terrain naturally “sticks” to the crystal and starts forming a body. When this occurs, it’s classified as a vessel and will gain some level of consciousness if a soul enters it’s body. However, due to its crude design, they aren’t capable of thinking on the same level as, for example, a human. The golem’s size is directly correlated with the amount of magical energy that it contains. It is not uncommon for golems to gather crystals in large piles in hope that a bigger golem will eventually emerge from it (since more crystals lead to a higher cap of the magical energy that can be contained within)

The Universe of Madness terms #3

“The Council” - an orginasation of powerful individuals whose goal is to stop mass destruction of the universe of madness. Most of the beings in The Council are elements.

“Elementals” - Beings blessed with the power of an element that originated from the first god (including the ones given by the second). Their powers are contained within their soul. When an elemental dies, their soul sets out on a journey to find a successor. There are two ways of this can end up; 1: the soul finds an uninhabited vessel (usually before it’s born) or 2: it finds a vessels that already has a soul, in witch case the souls merge in order for it to inhabit the vessel. The second option only works if both souls as well as the vessel agrees to this. Despite that, it has become the more popular approach (especially in The Council), going so far that the other elements set out to find a suitable successor as soon as a fellow elemental dies.

“The Cult of Noface” - A cult who chose to remove their faces in order to imitate the first god and strip themselves from any of the personality or feelings they had before. They collect unique hats in order to extract their powers and their new personality is almost fully dependent on the unique hats they wear. Shortly after word got out, a new group of people who chose to oppose them appeared and they do whatever it takes to prevent them from meeting their goals.

A most likely incomplete list of all UOM arcs

The (chronological) beginnings of UOM:

First location arcs:

"Main" UOM arcs:

Titan arcs:

A lot of these have sub-arcs, but that's a future me problem

Soul manipulation:

Practices commonly referred to as “magic” boil down to a few categories: ‘true’ soul manipulation, contract magic and external soul manipulation (or “object magic”).

Souls & Brains

Souls do not have memories, but they do have a will. This will is strong enough to move it from place to place as well as posses a suitable vessel and animate it in accordance to it. However, its control is not absolute and is almost always in conflict with the brain, which function is to control the body. Many humanoids are trained to resist their desires and instead listen to logic and reason from an early age. The fact that it works is proof that the physical determination of a brain is greater than the mental will of a soul. There are exceptions to this, but in the most cases that’s due to being trained in the opposite way. The discrepancies between Determination and Will often of an individual causes conflict within it when raised in the brain-first like manner described above.

Titans

Titans are huge creatures that come in many forms, but what they all have in common is their unique biology, they are all made out of “titan parts” and “titan armour”. Their “design” is modular, they can replace their body parts as well as expand on their existing ones without much issue. This has lead to the leading theory about their orgin being that they were artificially created. However, because of their strength that in a number of cases outclasses the elementals, beings many concider to be gods, or at the very least successors of gods, most find that hard to believe. Two unique abilities of the titans are that they can host two different souls without them merging or causing internal conflict and maybe even more impressively, they can survive indefinitely without any soul at all. There has been no records of a titan dying due to age or malnutrition, they seem to live until someone does something about it.

“Complete Titans” are defined as a titan with a head;

Incomplete Titans are titans that lack a “proper” head. They might have something else in its place, but if it the “head” looks like something else (for example a foot or armour peice), then it most likely is an incomplete titan. Most incomplete titans lack a soul.

The Abnormal Titan

Physically, it’s a unusually higly developed lesser titan. It does not lack any limbs, but it doesn’t have hands or feet, the legs attach directly to the golden shoes. One of its armes are regular two-jointed and has a small armour piece in place of a hand which is capable of shooting fire like a flamethrower. The other is also two jointed, but it uses an unusually short segment for the first and one with a 90° curve as its second segment. It has a long orange and transparent armour piece attached to its throat. Its “face” rotates and its personally reacts accordingly. One other unusual aspect is that it shows no difficulty talking, even when it doesn’t have a mouth. Its personalities are as follows: {

‘Content’: “can’t we just go to a mountain and live a happy life?” ,

‘Show-off Hybris’:“DESTRUCTION! WE NEED TO SHOW THEM WHAT WE’RE CAPABLE OF, THEN THEY’LL NEVER MESS WITH US AGAIN!” ,

‘Calm’: “Please we don’t need others approve of us, they’re clearly reaching for what we already have acquired”,

‘Joyous thinker’; a chill dude (the first voice that entered the vessel, he was “alone” for about a year): “Is this why people are striving to get heads? To eliminate internal conflict? But then which one of us will remain if we get one? Or will none of us be in control anymore? I don’t want that…”, “let’s beat that shithead.”; “I’m not sure how much I can help, but it was wise to not take him down yourself. Man, you would’ve been so screwed” }

Spear guy

Spear guy is a hypothetical game that I mentioned in floriverse once. Characters: - Spear guy (the protagonist, prince of the kingdom of spears) - The Spear King (who gets murdered in the opening sequence) - Raven of the Night (the antagonist and one who murdered the Spear King. His usual approach is diplomacy, regardless of what kind of creature he runs into. However, with the current situation he didn’t see any other option than to gather a rebellion in order to overthrow the monarchy) - Council members may visit towns because their dress code for travelling is quite consealing and it’d be funny if the protagonist (and maybe the player too) thought that it was always the same person. They could also serve as optional boss fights if you’re daring enough to attack them. - “the innocent farmer” who’s secretly the one who makes carrots come to life with his experiments.

Platformer combat with spears. You are the Prince who’s father got assassinated with a magical knife. As a result knifes are now banned as well as any weapons except spears, because you can’t hide them. You now weild the spear of destruction which is capable of destroying any and all weapons. Your goal in combat is to destroy your opponents weapons. I also want to include a sequence where some random guy’s carrot farm’s carrots transform into hellish carrot creatures (similar to my Halloween carrots, but like when they are rouge and are brutaly consuming people alive)
