Rent Free Info Dump
Rent Free is essentially House of Dark but expanded because I cannot stop myself. For those who don’t know House of Dark, it was a comic series I did back in College.  Basically my persona, Dark, would share her home with the characters she adores and just… live life.  No big plots (aside from when Dante left her alone to go visit her parents), no big enemies (aside from a massive snowstorm), nothing but living as a college student. Rent Free is similar, though I do plan to have some plots (a few relationships have subplots, as well as a few connections between students at the Academy and Kaiju in the Range), some enemies (looking at you, Salem) and a lot of slice of life. But there are a lot of characters. Nearly 11,520 canon characters of various shows, games, etc.; Just over 1000 OCs; and, counted separate, over 1000 animal characters that, essentially count as pets.  Honestly, I know that list will grow, as I cannot control myself. As such, it made more sense to create a city rather than just a single household.  All that said, this document will provide needed context for whenever I post any fanfiction that takes place in the Rent Free AU.
Point 1:  World's End World's End is the name given to the world that was created to house all of these characters. The name World's End comes from an original (and unfortunately shelved) work of mine, and because I had a blast making the city, I decided to honor it by moving it to Rent Free.  It is a mix of magic and technology, and is centered around one building: the Apartments. World's End also has an elevator within the Apartments and other important places of note (such as the Academy) that takes folks to an area with a "paradise under the ground" feel called The Range. The city portion has all the amentities needed: a hospital (vet included), shops and restuarants, clubs and casinos, and a school called The Academy.  Outside the city, is a military base, shipyard for interdimensional travel, and farm lands, among other things. One thing to note:  Transformers is among the fandoms involved in this so the city is big enough to accomodate them but also provides mass displacers in a variety of places.  The military base also hosts a place for Holoform use. Aside from The Apartments and Academy (which will get their own points), the most well  known areas of interest (read as the most used areas) are as follows: - The Fast Break Nook - a cafe run by Dark's gf Jaden which is right next to - Thank You Oven Bakery - a bakery run by Dark's "daughter" Tessa - The Jasmine Tea Shop - A tea shop and cafe run mainly by Iroh and supported by Chloe Battenberg who also runs a tea related store called Triple Sweet - Triple Six - a karaoke bar and nightclub run by the demon Sorath - Queen Department Store - a massive store owned by multiple Isekai villainess protagonists working together.  Though unlike other department stores, they support the smaller businesses around the area. - Emerald Fields - A collection of Farmsteads run by different folks that focus on different forms of farming - Pavel Labs - Originally called Stoica Labs, it was renamed after the original head was discovered to be a massive scum bag.  His ex wife, Curia Pavel, has taken over and, with her assistants, uses it as a testing ground for artificial limbs, both magic based and technology based. - Applegate Counseling - A collection of therapists, counselors and psyhologists who assist those with trauma of any kind, owned by Maria Applegate - The Archives - Not a traditional library, this facility is run by Login, and allows folks to essentially watch the media that they originally come from.  It also acts as a portal to other worlds but only if Login allows it.
Point 2: Â The Range
The Range, as stated before, is an underground world, home to multiple animals who are not domesticated. Â They hunt on their own and have few interactions with humans, aside from a select few (the Rangers, obviously). Â Their food sources are usually brought in from the universes they are from.
The area is split into nine areas, with magic barriers in place to keep most predators and prey in one selected area to prevent any turf wars. Â Currently, Dark is taking time to introduce creatures to each other, but in a safe manner to ensure survival. Â The only creatures allowed to move between the Sectors are the Predacons and Maximals.
Each area has multiple water sources, one mountainous area and at least 2 to 3 outposts for when inspections need to be done, unless a ranch is specified. Â In order to travel to any of the Sectors (minus Sector 7, 8 and 9), at least one Ranger MUST be present.
Area 1 is called the Drac Sector, home to most fantasy creatures, such as dragons (mainly from Dragalia Lost), griffins, and monsters from Monster Hunter (Dark has a soft spot for Rathalos).
Area 2 is called the Zeno Sector, where species not native to Earth live. Â It mostly consists of species found in James Cameron's Avatar (and this is the ONLY thing from Avatar in Rent Free) and some from Ben 10 and other scifi shows.
Area 3 is called the Kaiju Sector and is the largest of the 9 sectors. Â It should go without saying that, based on the name, Godzilla and his crew mainly inhabit this sector.
Area 4 is called the Jurassic Sector and is the smallest. Â It houses only a few creatures, the two main ones being Rexy and Blue. Â Dark is debating of getting a few more dinos or if she should try to introduce the ones she has to one of the other sectors.
Area 5 is called the Safari Sector. Â It's home to the monsters of Digimon, Pokemon, and Monster Rancher, along with a few other series. Â All of these creatures are allowed in World's End proper, but this is for the monsters that want to roam free or do not have a tamer yet. Â There are a three ranches currently, but no specific owners.
Area 6 is called the Far Sector. Â The sector houses the Slimes of the Far Far Range, as well as a portal taking you back to that world. Â This is one of the only areas to house four ranches, run by Beatrix LeBeau, Mochi Miles, Ogden Ortiz and Viktor Humphries, respectively.
Area 7 is called the Huaguo Sector. Â This area was maded specifically for Sun Wukong, his clan and his allies. Â Asena also lives in the area with her wolf pack. Â Unlike most sectors, this area allows visitors from World's End without a Ranger present. Â The known outposts are Sun's Temple, Blue Wolf Homestead and The Portal Tree, the last of which leads to the realm of Deities, Angels and Demons from Mythology around the world. Â (This realm will only be mentioned as only a select few can actually go into it. Â There is also a portal in the city proper, but it's hidden to keep people from going in without knowing it.)
Area 8 is called Mustang Sector. Â As the title implies, the sector is home to horses of all kinds and also home to where the hardier breeds of cattle, sheep and other farm animals. Â Striker, along with his partners, have a ranch in the area called Bullet Ranch.
And finally Area 9 is called Royal Sector. Â This is the main base of operations for the Range. It contains the main elevator and barracks for the Rangers as well as the Control Tower. Â While it is not a "zoo", it does contain aspects of a zoo so that visitors can learn about different species living in the Range. Â The sector also contains a large village, home to those from different fandoms that prefer living in the woods compared to a city, and a griffin hatchery.
Point 3: Â The Apartments
The Apartments, also known as the Complex, is the largest building in World's End and houses everyone living in the city. Â The building also contains most of the Government Offices, minus the Postal Service, which is handled off site. Well over 10,000 doors each lead to their own mini pocket dimension that forms into the ideal space for each tenant. All tenants have a key card that they can use in the elevators to get to specific floors, including a common area for breakfast, reading and other social activities. Â The key card also allows for visiting friends on different floors. Any changes usually need to be approved by Dark and her team. By changes, she usually means moving to another floor, adding more rooms due to growing families/new roommates, etc. Rent is handled differently depending on the tenant. Â All of this is in a dimension that Dark essentially made herself, so money is of little need to her. Â BUT. Â She does need to pay her workers. Â So if Rent is handled with money, anything she gets usually goes to those who are working for her in any capacity. Â Another way Rent is handled is doing favors for her (nothing sexual, that is the QUICKEST way of getting kicked out to the Range for a month). Â Many of her military teams do missions and as payment live in the complex (they obviously get paid enough to buy food and other amenities but Rent is not required in this case). Utilities come free. Â The complex itself handles water, internet/cable, electricity, and gas if needed. Not a bad place to live. Point 4: Â The Academy If there are going to be kid characters around, obviously there needs to be some kind of education system. Â That's where the Academy comes in. Run by one of Dark's right hand men, Reign and Ms. Toriel Dreemurr, The Academy is pre school up until senior of college. Â While the students for the most part study the same topics and classes, there are a few other classes that specialize in other fields. Â Let's take Judai Yuuki as an example! Â In his original world, his classes mainly consisted of Duel Monsters. Â In the Academy, he can still take those classes, while also taking more normal classes with students from other worlds. The campus itself has multiple buildings and features, such as a sports field, ice rink, library, large cafeteria, a large assembly hall and playgrounds for the younger students among other things. Dorms are, because of the Apartments, not needed. Students are allowed to room with each other (ex. Lloyd Garmadon is roommates with Mike Chilton) and are given access to school resources even off campus. Dark makes sure the kids in her charge don't get any special treatment. Â She may practically run World's End but she's not raising any spoiled kiddos. Â They get detention for acting out like everyone else.
And that's most of the background info that I feel would be most important to know! Â If you have any addition questions, feel free to drop an ask.
