#malps lore

[lazdahuman]

after that recent reblog (thanks @serataph for the art of my ocs) i should mention some lore for anyone passing by

Lazuli, Zaryl, and Arekai are the Triplet Spirits, a group of demigods that control space, time, and the Void as the Lord of the Worlds, Ages, and Void respectively. (Laz is Void, Zaryl is time, Kai is space.)

Think of them like the Creation Trio from Pokémon, Palkia being space, Dialga being time, and Giratina being antimatter.

The roles of the Triplet Spirits are put upon people who are called by Aeros Temple and prove themselves capable of reaching and completing its trials.

Upon being given demigod status, the Triplet Spirits retain free will like the typical people they were beforehand, as the role isn't inherently good or evil - however, it has been historically used as a force for good.

The current ladies - called the Band Generation - learned about their roles as demigods while taking on the trials to attain said roles, and with that knowledge, formed a band named after the legend.

The Triplet Spirits (band) make use of Zaryl's time powers to create beats that would otherwise take years of effort and training to make by hand with little difficulty or risk of injury, giving them an identity as a band that can "TAS" their music live without physical tools aside from their instruments. They call their work "Magic-Assisted Live Performance," or MALP for short.

Hello and welcome to the lower decks of Atlantis. I made this blog because this is a long fic that’s going to be a little convoluted and very OC heavy. This pinned post will be up to date with everything you need to know about my lore so you can enjoy the fic to its fullest.

TL;DR- this is a long fic done in an episodic style that is heavily inspired by Star Trek Lower Decks. It started out as a joke, but evidently it is very much not a joke anymore.

"Ulli Reiter. A bright mind and a kind heart help Ulli in every situation to help Judit. He is faithful, obedient and perhaps capable of more. His shyness could be a plus in police work but it could be an obstacle to investigate. Right now he can be trusted, but his fate remains unclear..."

Atlantis Lower Decks: The Basic Premise

This egregious act of canon non-compliance is an episodic style long fic following a cast of original and minor Stargate characters. It’s largely silly goofy with very little regard for things like ‘canon’ and ‘the timeline’ so if that’s your bread and butter, I’ll save you some time and just say this isn’t for you.

The story starts with Atlantis filling support roles, the two main ones that the story follows being IT and Civilian Security. Both teams are make up of two people.

The IT is a set of siblings: Scout and Dan MacKenzie. They’re known for being difficult to work with, immature, and geniuses who could get a lot done if they applied themselves. They get into all sorts of goofy shenanigans and have ever since they sprang from the womb.

The Civilian Security team is a homicide detective duo: Nathan and Tony. They were picked as an afterthought because everyone kind of forgot the positions even existed. Because of this, they have very little concept of what’s going on at any given time.

These two teams meet on the Daedalus en route to Atlantis when they bond over being the only four people to take an entire box of donuts each rather than only taking one donut each. It’s at that time that they have a real recognizes real moment and they become unlikely friends. Their friendship quickly divulges into an alliance as IT loops the security team in on their plan to be the number one (see: only) supplier of digital media in all of Atlantis. In addition to the pirated movies, TV shows, music, sports games and other media, the IT team also has allies on earth and the Daedalus to get booze into the Pegasus galaxy.

Not wanting to lose out on the finer things in life, the security team allies with IT. The deal is that security turns a blind eye to the bootlegging in exchange for unlimited access to the digital supply and a sizeable portion of the booze.

Once they get to Atlantis, they befriend Ford (who is alive and well and not addicted to the wraith enzyme because I said so), Chuck (the Canadian sergeant in the gate room) and Jonas (who is in Atlantis because I love him). From there, the world is their oyster. IT builds up network infrastructure to give Atlantis their own internet which of course comes with their very own take on YouTube, Twitter and their own website which they use for the digital media empire. They also start their very own cryptocurrency known as LCBO Coin. LCBO (pronounced Lick-bow) is short for Lantian Central Banking Organization and is a play on the Ontario provincial liquor store’s name because they thought it was funny.

And yeah, so far the ‘episodes’ I’ve written include the theft of a MALP, a murder, a podcast all about life on Atlantis, a time loop, and a few off-word shenanigans. All these “episodes” follow the lower deckers in their daily life. The main characters from the actual show are effectively the bridge crew from Star Trek Lower Decks; they’re around and often feature, but they’re not the focus.

Anyway, I’m pretty pumped about this project. Unfortunately, it’s a) OC heavy, b) so deeply ridiculous that it’s a tough sell, and, c) I’ve thought about this so much that I’ve built up so much lore around it in my mind.

Because of all those points, I’ve started this blog to act as a bit of a starting point or reference for anyone who cares to be invested in this. Like I said, I know that this is NOT everyone’s cup of tea, so no hate if you just wanna ignore it or just casually try and read a chapter here and there. It’s very hard to get people to care about a project like this, so I know it’s not gonna do numbers. I’m just here to make the art that I wanna see in the world.

"Iris Knef is the face of modern style, the muse, and guardian of the entire Dadaist movement. Graceful and judicious, she curates exhibitions, helps emerging artists, and supports all artistic initiatives - not by calculation, but by nature. She commands respect and inspires trust."

"Natalie Meisner is an elderly and tired-looking woman who appears to rarely leave her flat. But if you look closely, you can see that she was once a strong and determined woman! Perhaps her previous career as a judge influenced her parenting of her son, Gustav Meisner, who is the polar opposite of his mother."

“Luigi Affini studied at the Police Academy in Rome, though his heart led him back to his hometown Porto Ceso after graduating. He now aspires to improve the city but doing that while working with Signore Cozzi is hard.”

"Hilda Landau is a reporter for the "Eure Tages". She has a pleasant appearance and a laid-back, slightly tolerating personality. The unexpected cruelty of the newspaper industry appears to be ruining her journalistic talent. Sven is condescending to her, and her bias interferes with her writing. Respect and attention can help her open up, so I believe she is definitely worth working with."

“Dierk Becker. A man of unremarkable appearance, average height, glasses, and slight gray hair. Outward mediocrity is the perfect disguise. A brilliant forensic expert: one of the smartest members of the Zürich police, deeply committed to his work and meticulous in his attention to detail. You learn something new every time you're in his lab about the world of clues and fingerprints.”

"Ruben Lefèvre. A gallant aesthete, an elegant weasel, a member of a local artistic movement. He hides a sly smile beneath his bushy mustache, and his expensive suits mimic local society. "French, seductive, but trustworthy."

"Sven Lange... He knows the price of a word, this man owns the order of the line. A gloomy look and stern disposition hides under the thick veil of cigar smoke. Businesslike, straightforward, sophisticated, and neat."

“Otto is the first character you will meet in the game as he is the owner of the hotel in which you will start your adventure. He is naive and kind though it seems even Otto has his own secrets...”

“January 25 This evening over a cup of tea, Otto told me the story of his family. He was married and had a son. During the Great War, his son heroically died in the Battle of Verdun. Leon was fighting on the Germans’ side...”

“𝘖𝘵𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴. 𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘵 𝘎𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘪𝘮𝘢 𝘥𝘪 𝘝𝘳𝘦𝘯. 𝘎𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘯, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘖𝘵𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦...”

Here is all of the information on Otto that has been posted on the Facebook page so far. If anyone’s interested, I could do this for other characters, too. Luigi will probably be next since he’s a fan favorite.

“He was born in Zurich to a wealthy family, but after completing his studies, Hanz decided to become a priest. His path finally led him to a quiet town where he peacefully lived his life, up until the Murder in the Alps...”

“Hans Lenz is a kind person with an incredibly sad past. He was born in Zürich, into a wealthy family. As a quiet and meek youth, his only friend was his younger brother, who, unfortunately died of cancer in 1894. All that Hans has to remember his brother by is an old photograph, a small toy, and an endless longing... ...Tired of the horrors of war, Hans deserted the army in 1917. Afterwards, he began traveling around the world, preaching peace, love, and faith in God.”
