could you tell me more about each reality?

YES. Thank you SO SO much for the ask, you have no idea how much this means to me.

Ahem. So, since it's only a WIP, not all of the realities are complete, but I do have at least the outline of an idea for each. A thing about me is that I LOVE seeing religious simbolysm represented on media (even though I'm not religious at all, I actually have repressed religious trauma lol), so I tried to add that to my creation. That being said, each reality represents a deadly sin:

Suphertimius= pride;

Pludialtus= envy;

Alianthus= lust (the name Luster was very obvious, wasn't it? Lol);

Fenariens= gluttony;

Assephidita= greed;

Segnitem= sloth;

Nocionith= wrath.

That being said, it also explains a bit about how I depict each reality. For example, Nocionith is the most dangerous one due to the fact it represents wrath. Now, we can get to actually giving a summary to what I've created so far about each one of them.

Pludialtus.

Pludialtus is the Second Reality, and in a way, it's very close to how our reality works. The habitants that live there are mostly anthropomorphic animals called Zoaphinos, each species living in their respective continent, country, state, etc. There are a lot of different regions inside of Pludialtus, where you can find rainforests, camps, deserts, etc. The animals all wear clothes, and their culture varies according to where you are in the map, but generally speaking, most of them have a lot of social codes and morals that they follow assiduously (is that the word? Idk). One vastly understood and accepted society rule in that reality is that no predator should ever show their fangs in the presence of a prey, much less towards said prey, unless on very specific cases like in self defense or to defend someone else.

There's also another species, though I haven't given it a name yet, but it's basically the second most dominant in that world. They're also anthropomorphic animals, except they're more "animalistic" than the others. They suffer a lot of prejudice from the Zoaphinos, even though they're like the "origins" from where the Zoaphinos came from. They can still be just as elegant as their successors, opposite to what their stereotype says. Don't listen to what any conservative tells you, they also wear clothes, have jobs and are just as friendly. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Just because they appear different, doesn't mean you shouldn't treat them with respect.

Pludialtus isn't very different from our world, except for the fact that there is much, muchhhh less deforestation, and a lot of buildings look like they just spawned in the middle of nowhere in a forest, due to the lack of a paved street near it.

There's a lot of social issues there, aka racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia (even though in most realities no one really gives a shit and gender concepts and roles are practically non-existent mainly due to the existence of hermaphrodite species), problems involving preys and predators, prejudice, etc.

But hey! There's also good things and nice people there! Three characters of my main cast on this universe are natives of Pludialtus!! So give it a chance!!

Alianthus.

The Third Reality. I haven't created much of this one yet, except for their main and dominating species, that still doesn't has a name, but for now I'll call them Cannibal Angels™. That species is basically a type of humanoid bird-like creature, and they are around the size and height of a human adult (I haven't decided on that yet, but they're supposed to be really tall). They have bid-like hindlegs, long long arms with claws, feathers, wings, tails, but most importantly, they don't have eyes on their faces, and instead have a single eye on the middle or their necks. It can vary on the region, but they mostly dress in a gothic fashion, just like their archteture. The colors of their feathers and other phisycal traits also vary with the area you are in, for example, on colder parts of Alianthus, most angels have white feathers, etc.

Now, onto the cannibal part of their name. For this part, it is very important for you to have in mind that every specimen of these angels are hermaphrodites, so they have both the male and the female parts (another reason why they're called 'angels'). Basically, the reason why they are called cannibals is due to the fact that in their culture, during the mating proccess, both partners must try and devour the other alive, so it's basically a veryyyy erotic fight to see who impregnates who first. Once it becomes clear which one of them is going to lose, they impregnate the one who's going to stay alive, so that they can carry their child. The winner devours their partner entirely, leaving only the heart (which they put in a box to keep for the rest of their lifes, but not without putting a spell over it first so that it never rots while they live) and a bit of their blood, which they keep inside a piece of jewelry (earrings, necklaces, rings, etc) and wear it every day, in a way to keep their partner with them until they die.

Another specie from that world are the Oculangels, which are basically eyes with wings. They live in packs, and aren't predators, so they wouldn't be dangerous if it wasn't for their defense system. Every time one of those senses that they're in danger, they emit a high-pitched, shrill sound so loud it can burst any predator's eardrums. So yeah, it's not recomended to go near a pack, unless you are a professional or is accompanied by one.

But! As much as the Cannibal Angels™ may seen dangerous, do not fear (pun intended), for they are actually very friendly and only each others from their species during the mating proccess, which is a very sacred ritual in their culture and can only happen once, in the most traditional version. So feel free to interact with them, for they are not interested in your flesh!

Fenariens.

I haven't created practically anything about this one, except for the fact that their main and most dominant species are humanoid slug-like creatures. I'll probably post it later when I finally create more about this one, but for now, that's all I have.

Assephidita.

I also haven't got much on this one, except for the main species, which are fairies of all kind; tooth fairies, bone fairies, fire fairies, you name it. It's also from where the Tooth Fairy comes from (yes, THAT Tooth Fairy). She's basically the mother of all the other smaller, weaker tooth fairies. She also established the economic system in Nihall, that uses human teeth as money. Each tooth has a specific price (canine teeth= 50, etc), and they get it from children that put it under their pillows at night, corpses, etc. Remember when I said you can't access Suphertimius through Nihall? Yeah, only specific workers can, and the tooth fairies are one of those. They have special portals that can get them there, and they use it to collect teeth.

For now, that's all I have on that reality, but I'll create more later.

Segnitem.

I also haven't got much on this one, except for the fact that it's a completely submerged reality. Yes, the whole thing is just water, water and more water, with very few land. All kinds of water. All the species that live there are aquatic humanoid creatures. And while yes, Pludialtus also has aquatic zoaphinos, Segnitem's are different in much more noticeable ways, as in the Zoaphinos' ones are a lot more humanoid and most of them can also breathe out of the water, while the ones from Segnitem can't (at least, most of them, since that place also has oxygen). The first species I thought about for this one are sea lion inspired, though I don't really have a concept for them yet.

Nocionith.

Out of all the realities I've explained about here, one could argue that this is the most dangerous one. Even then, the dominant species is quite friendly, and that would be the famous (principally among weirdcore spaces) object heads. These are not really their names, though I haven't created the official name of the species yet. They're basically the same as a human, except for the fact that their heads are replaced with objects or even human organs, like mouths, ears, noses, TVs, hats, cameras, etc. They make up the most part of Nihall's public workers, and that is mostly due to racism and prejudice (since they are the closest to humans without being them in all seven realities).

Other species that also exist in this place are:

• Skinwalkers

• Wendigos

• Mimics

Etc, though that might change too since this is a WIP.

Nihall.

I thought this would also be interesting to add. There are species that are only born in Nihall and nowhere else, even though one would think all of Nihall's species come from other realities. They are called getomas, and they're basically born from the concentration of magic in a certain object or area, that accumulates and gains power over the years, until they generate a living being. Getomas can be the mix of two or more species, or be even their own, which makes them quite unique. One of the characters of the main cast is also a getoma.

Their birhts usually happen due to the fact that since Nihall is the junction of all realities, it also has magic from all of them, making it a place filled with magic literally everywhere. There's really no escaping from it, lol. And if over time, a small concentration of that magic makes itself present somewhere and continues to grow, it will make itself into a living, conscient, magic being, which is extremely magically powerful due to it's nature. Getomas are some of the purest magic manifestation of Nihall, a true miracle.

Even then, they're some of the most judged and outcasted species of that world. That mostly happens due to them having such different appearances, and the fact that their magic is much more powerful than everyone else's scares people away, and that fear turns into hate. It also happens that some getomas are born as really aggressive creatures depending of where they are born (the majority of getomas that come from Asmus or anywhere alse near The Abiss tend to be quite animalistic), and that only helps to fuel even more hatred and prejudice against them.

I'd also like to add that everyone, from all realities, have their own magic, that is basically a magic only them can do, or a specific type of magic that they're naturally incredible at. On a similar note, everyone has a thing called monster form, that's basically their most powerful yet most aggressive, scary looking and chaotic selfs. The monster forms work in a way that's basically since everyone including getomas are separated in preys and predators (even though it's pretty much illegal to eat other people), they are a type of primitive version of that creature, wheter they're a prey of predator. Which means that if you are a predator, your monster form will be more aggressive, most likely acting like a hunter. That makes monster forms very hard to control, but not impossible. That's why it's illegal to use them against someone else, unless in specific scenarios, like self defense

I could yap more, but this is already way too long and it's taken a lot of time to make (I'm so sorry for replying so late btw). So, thank you very much for your attention, and have a great day!! Thanks for the ask :3

Nihall.first version !!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! YIPPIE!!!!

SO. There's a lot to explain about this one. Like. A LOT. But I'm gonna try and explain it as quickly as possible.

Since the beggining of time, there are a total of seven realities: Suphertimius (the human reality, aka where we are living right now), Pludialtus, Alianthus, Fenariens, Assephidita, Segnitem and Nocionith.

Nihall is a secondary reality that exists between all of those. For example, if you want to travel from Pludialtus to Fenaries, you have to go through Nihall first. And as much as Nihall could be seen as a merely waypoint, it is also it's own secondary reality, since it is the junction of all the others (but at the same time it's the most absolute nothing), and you can live there if you want. Inside of Nihall, each reality has their own region, and people can choose where they wanna live. The regions are: Simius (Suphertimius), Rainforest (Pludialtus), Luster (Alianthus), Gumes (Fenariens), Nextia (Assephidita), Limawa (Segnitem) and Asmus (Nocionith). Each region is composed by a fraction of the reality it comes from, having their own climate, states, habitants, etc. Nihall is composed by all of these togheter, but it also has it's own fraction: The Station, also known as The Lobby, and The Abiss, considered the most dangerous place in that reality. The Station is the place where you first spawn when you go to Nihall, and you can find all the seven portals for all the seven realities there. All you have to do is walk into one and alakazan, you're at your destiny. The Station is basically a huuuuge train station, and not only can you use a portal to travel to another reality there, but you can also take a train to go to literally ANY region inside of Nihall's territory. Meanwhile, inside the regions, it's more common for people to travel using buses, which can take you anywhere inside of a region.

The Abiss is basically Nihall's territorial limit. It is exacly what the name says: a black, dark and infinite abiss. Nobody knows what happens if you fall inside of it, but a lot of Nihall's cultural legends and stories revolve around it, not only due to its mysteriousness, but also because the closer you get to it, the dangerous the environment and entities around you become. The nearest region of The Abiss is Asmus, which is also known for the agressivity of some of its entities and creatures are, being the most dangerous threat one can face in Nihall.

Thank god we have the hunters! Their job is basically to hunt down and kill/capture any aggressive entity around the area! They work a lot like 911, and their services are free, but you can also pay for a private one, if that makes you feel safer (though they're usually very expensive).

Also! Remember when I said you could go to all the seven realities from Nihall? I lied! You can't go to the human reality, nor can you reach Nihall while being at Suphertimius! That's because many many years ago, humans started a war with allll the other realities, and obviously, they lost! Because of that, a Sealing Spell was created so that humans could not only no longer access Nihall ever again, but so that they couldn't remember it ever existing! They also can't use magic anymore! How fun and lovely!! Humans aren't welcome!!

That's basically just a small part of it all, but if I were to yap about everything about this universe, we would be here alll day. But if you want to know more, feel free to send another ask! I'd love to answer your questions. Tysm for your attention, and I deeply apologize for my terrible grammar. English isn't my first language, and even though I'm bilingual, writing can be really hard sometimes.

Have a great day!! Thank you for the ask!! :3

“In contrast to Bihter, who knows a little bit of everything, Nihal knows little but she knows that very well. She is an accomplished and gifted pianist”.

From Robert Finn’s book The Turkish Novel: 1872-1900

This is lowkey how I picture Nigar’s knowledge vs Ibrahim’s knowledge @ohhmichelettoohh (though Ibo doesn’t even have the courtesy to “know little”, the wonder kid)

Nigar is more this:

“Bihter too, knew a little bit of everything: enough Turkish to be able to flick through magazines and read the stories in them, enough French to use in Beyoğlu shops, and even a little Greek learnt from the servant girls who were always being procured from Tarabya. She played waltzes, quadrilles and romances on the piano; if required to, she could quite beautifully accompany her dignified, expressive singing on the oud which she had learnt almost entirely by herself.”

(Chapter 1)

And Ibo is more this:

“There was one prelude by Chopin in which, as she played it from memory, with her eyes closed, she would see the shrouded horizon of one white night, one last living night in her soul. This nocturne had such a power of inspiration for her — she knew not why — that whenever she played it she would imagine, in her mind’s eye, a white night that enshrouded the whole universe, a night composed of darkness and light, clouds and sunshine, but the dead night of a dead world.

White! White! White!.. This night had great, tall trees that lifted and shook their white heads and white arms. A sea was rising, its waves flinging the white foam from their white hair, rising between mountains whose bare faces appeared through rolling clusters of white clouds. Far above, a white moon, paused in its fall behind snow storms… Then, processions of shadows running across all this whiteness, clouds that engulfed this white world in a deadly breath, and all about, a great silence; not one small melody in the clouds, not one faint murmur in the waves, nothing, nothing… only from far away, from who knows where, perhaps from beyond this world, a voice lamenting existence itself, falling upon this dead night. Finally, one last wail, heard from beneath the shroud, poured upon this sorrowful judgement day like the merciful waters of paradise…

As the only observer of this last night of the universe, she was seeing herself at the edge of these scenes that were frozen under all their snow; one person, alone in this dead world!.. Was this not how it was now? All alone… Then she would shiver with the similarity of her dream to her reality, and she would want to shrug off the consolations of this music that brought death even as it healed.

Her numb, failing nerves would need to be shaken and jolted to return to life; suddenly, the instrument that had had been wailing a moment before would grow mad and frenzied. Before the sorrowful laments that had been scattered to the air a moment before had breathed their last, the hurricane of a speed drill would burst forth, and drown all traces of the melancholy lieder with the awful din of their repetitions.

Nihal would long to become stupefied by this clangour, to be unable to think so that she did not have to think”.

(Chapter 13)
