Warning! Celestial Decadence is a Worldbuilding project in development created by MechRepto, although many events and elements in this project reflect real historical events or are scientifically based, C.D. should not be taken as a source for anything, be it historical, biological, paleontological etc, many of the elements in this project are purely fictional. Nothing on the C.D. should be used to spread fakenews, hate speech, racism, homophobia or apology for Nazism, fascism, dictatorships, wars, genocides and all the disgraces related to these topics. Many projects inside C.D. have an anti-Nazi and anti-war message as their goal!
I'm going to focus on the CD story only, the ww1 version is in a parallel universe that I might explore further, but that's probably only going to be in RPs or art, their official story is in my chaotic and nonsensical WorldBuilding called Celestial Decadence.
also, one more warning, my English is pretty broken, I used translator here, so sorry if something is not right or out of place. now... it's time for the big text
Divided by a great mass of dead and desolate land, Linus and Lorenz are two young soldiers and dreamers, Linus is a soldier of the North German Empire, Lorenz is a soldier of the South German Republic, they met in the Grey Zones and began to develop a friendship that later became a romance, their superiors did not accept this relationship, but a war against an unusual enemy allowed them to spend more time together.
And... it's time to give a lot of context, since I rarely said anything about the many Germanies in Celestial Decadence. we are in the 43rd century, the world is different and devastated, there are places known as "Dead Zones" or "Grey Zones", there is one that crosses part of Germany, dividing North from South, this place is a big no man's land, there are many abandoned and even inhabited trenches from previous wars, not many things are born and grow there, this place is dominated by Beasts and deadly Creatures, Mercenaries, bandits and other criminals make this place their home, many wrong things happen there, sale of drugs, dangerous weapons and artifacts with celestial influences, risks for the society, this place must be monitored and nothing must get out of there, so Soldiers from the North and South live in these zones, fighting against many different groups and preventing Austria from getting close, why? Because they went backwards, they became fascists (how? I don't know, I need to develop this man, kek).
Linus and Lorenz met in the Zone, at first it was just respect for each other, then it became a friendship and soon a romance, the two started sharing letters and whenever their squads met they were together, their superiors noticed these interactions and started to get worried, Obviously they didn't like this interaction, North Germans don't trust South Germans, and South Germans don't trust North Germans, they thought that one of them might be some kind of spy and asked them to stop these interactions, they were soldiers on duty and should act like it, but one afternoon would change everything.
It was getting dark, everything was starting to get in a bluer shade, a strong fog covered the desolate and destroyed landscape of the Grey Zones, trenches and more trenches, the North Squadron was a few meters away from the South Squadron, just monitoring the area, when suddenly shouts and shots came from the South, the South German soldiers were being attacked by some unknown enemy, the North Squad decided that they would wait for the dawn to come to investigate the situation, the suspicion was an attack of mercenaries or coming from Austria. The next day Linus was afraid, Lorenz might be dead, there was no sign of life coming from there, so they went to investigate, looking in every corner, tense and alert! Then they found a strange soldier wearing a familiar uniform, but at the same time new, it was a Nazi! Member of some SS, but where did he come from? Austria was Fascist but they didn't wear Nazi stuff, that soldier came from some unknown place, soon they found more and more of them, dead, together with South German soldiers, Linus was even more scared, was Lorenz still alive?
Exploring the trench further, the soldiers found the Superior from there, he was alive, but wounded, he had lost a lot of blood already, he needed medical attention as soon as possible, but Lorenz was also alive! He was barely hurt, helping his friends and comrades, Linus was relieved, but there was someone else there, one of those mysterious Nazi Soldiers, he was alive and unconscious, he was captured and taken to the Northern Squadron base. Upon interrogating the mysterious soldier, he said he came from another Planet, Hanrenthe! Where there was a nation called New-Germania, the New-Germanian Reich, they wanted to reconquer the German territory, after much discussion, bites and blood, the North Squadron together with the South Squadron decided that they would stay together for now, so they would have more chances against the New-Germanians, Linus and Lorenz were happy with that, they could stay more time together now! But still they were sad and worried, a New War has started, a war against an enemy that is still unknown, the only certainty is that they were Nazis and that they should be stopped at all costs!
Officially it was declared that North and South would help each other in this war, New-Germania was strong, they started to attack more and more, they wouldn't give up this crazy idea, but neither would the Germans, they wouldn't accept to lose in any way a war against Nazis... space Nazis by the way, Linus and Lorenz, together with their squads, started to work more together, punching Nazis in the face, putting them to run, but not only that.
And Yes, Celestial Decadence is kinda nonsense and I love it UHSUSHSAUHSA! So that's it for now, I tried to summarize this little story better, but I intend to make a short Comic about it, sorry if something got confusing or I didn't give more details of some things, it would be too LONG, but why Hanrenthe is inhabited? A long time ago some space colonies left the earth for reasons I will try to explain later along with other things. Sorry if something here bothered you, I really don't want to offend anyone, besides Nazis of course, I just want to tell the story of a decadent land where history repeated itself a few times, because it happens in real life all the time, unfortunately. If it's not clear yet, Linus and Lorenz are boyfriends! My gay couple! :D
..., btw, that's it for now, TSCHÜSS!!!
