WORLDBUILDING LET'S GOOOO-

__________________________________________________________

The universe, made of matter and inhabited by minds of all forms, is controlled by 3 semi-sentient forces: Chaos, Order and Time. They all exist in all worlds everywhere in evey moment.

Chaos is change, irregularities, warmth, unstability. It takes the form of a dense, gray liquid- present exclusively inside of water- that tends to collect in areas hit by intense calamities.

Order is stillness, perfection, cold, stability. It takes the form of a smooth, colorful sphere, constantly floating a few inches from ground. It appears in the least populated areas of the world, where there are little to no living beings, and only for a few moments after the physical Chaos that formed in calamities dissipated.

Time regulates how the other two interact with the world. it gives them a rythm to follow, so that everything flows smoothly and keeps changing in a regular way. It has no phisical form.

...

Chaos found a body by pure case. An earthquake, consequence of a massive volcanic eruption that was about to begin, shifted the land and the pristine cliffs where a person was walking. The stone crumbled under her feet and she fell in the sea- right into the Chaos that was starting to collect due to the disaster. It seeped into her skin, slowly and painfully absorbing her body. Her mind though lingered, since her body didn't properly die, and ended up taking that fraction of Chaos as her new body. When she came to her senses she couldn't remember her past life, and her mind- used to having a more solid body- molded the Chaos into the form that is now her standard one.

When Chaos found an incarnation, balance in the world shifted. It looked like something little, just one living being in the immensity of the universe, but that single living being held the power to change everything around her- she simply had no way to access it yet. Calamities became more frequent, and so the apparitions of Order- who lingered more and more everytime to compensate for the presence of Chaos. As civilizations expanded, truly empty places became fewer and fewer, but the imbalance in the world made Order appear nonetheless. In the end, someone found it. It appeared straight in front of him, after he almost died in a sandstorm. It lingered for so long, he had the time to ask himself he should run or try to understand it. Curiosity pushed him to touch it, and suddenly the pressure that Order was put under due to the instability found an exit. He was enveloped in Order and froze completely, his body going so still it instantly turned to dust. His mind took over the piece of Order he got stuck into, the matter adapting to the mind's nature painfully fast.

Now that 2 of the 3 forces had a body, balance was even more thrown off. While the two sort of balanced each other out, Time had to handle the presence of two extremely heavy beings. Sometimes things went too still, sometimes changed so fast nobody managed to keep up. Time had no physical shape, so the unbalance had no way to be compensated in material manifestations. It kept stretching and stretching, until the fabric of reality started to rip open. In one of the most densely populated cities of the time, a crack appeared. It lasted for so little that nobody noticed it. Nobody but the unfortunate person that was sucked in it the millisecond it appeared. For a moment it was just a mind existing in the nothing, dangling between life and death. Then Time took over the mind and used it to get a shape, so delicate and indefinite it took another few years to stabilize and finally appear in the world we can see.

THE BEANS

Each incarnation indirectly influences the other two with their presence. When divided, all the traits related to the three forces get amplified to the point they have to try acting in the opposite way to compensate.

__________________________________________________________

Emily

Emily is infused with Chaos. She can shapeshift and heals pretty quickly. She's from Greece, around the 300BC. She remembers nothing of her life before Chaos.

She tends to be very chill. Chaos is energy, it's moving, running, shouting, fighting, and when she has nothing to counterbalance all that energy she has a hard time evaluating situations and holding back. She actively tries to avoid conflicts and doesn't come off as a very energic person.

She lives in a small town close to a lake, where she works as a barman from time to time. She does it for fun, mostly: it's a simple work, she likes messing with drinks, and you get to meet different people on the rare occasions that someone visits her town.

Her only limits to shapeshifting are size and category. Due to Chaos being closer to water, she's unable to turn into anything that can fly. Also, she can't get bigger than 10 square meters (about the size of a room) or smaller than 10 square centimeters (about the size of a rat).

Teleportation to her is a consequence of her unstable form: technically, she's constantly moving from our world to all its parallel universes due to chaos existing everywhere at once. She is visible and can interact with only one world at a time because her mind isn't made to handle more than that. Sometimes this "moving" gets really intense (especially but not exlusive to when she's in need to move quickly, for example escaping from somewhere) and after a moment it completely freezes, throwing her to random coordinates on earth.

She is the only one of the three incarnations that forgets things with time.

__________________________________________________________

Joseph

Joseph is infused with Order. He cannot be hurt, since a wound is like a modification to his body and therefore goes against the nature of Order, and can fly. He has butterfly-like wings for that, he usually keeps rolled up under the clothes (nerd moment: did you know that butterfly wings keep open due to the "blood" (not blood but I can't remember the name rn) pressure? They have all the teeny tiny veins that go through the wings that kept them tense. Joseph can control the blood flow in his butterfly wings and decide when to keep them closed and when to open them). He's from the beginning of the Renaissance.

He remembers bits and pieces here and there, mostly about things unrelated to who he was- like his religion. Joseph was, and still is, catholic. He is convinced that what happened to him was caused by God, who wanted him to understand the world to a deeper level. It can't be said if this is true or not.

This human-like form is an alternative one: he has a second one that's technically his "true" one, a lot less human. Joseph doesn't change his body, he merely changes how the world perceives it (in the final result it looks like his body morphs, but TECHNICALLY it doesn't). THE ONE UNDER HERE IS AN OUTDATED DESIGN THAT I HAVE TO FIX.

His presence into multiple worlds at the same time (and so his teleportation) is a little complicated. Unlike Emily, he simply is present everywhere. He doesn't shift around like her, he is ever present everywhere but his mind can only exist in one world at a time. Sometimes he happens to focus his presence in the world he is in (moments of panic, existential crisis and similars) that he completely freezes, almost stopping to exist in all other worlds. This brings a massive shift into balance, that forces him to get back to the other worlds, throwing his mind off to a random position.

__________________________________________________________

Dawn

Dawn is infused with Time. Since they barely have a physical form, they can turn partially or completely immaterial. They are from the middle of the 19th century.

The marks on their head are their face. They can change the pattern at will, making it look like whatever they want. They could make it look like a face, but it felt extremely wrong everytime they tried. Like that face did not belong to them. Like they were stealing someone's identity. When sleeping, it's just a straight horizontal line.

They know everything that has happened in the past, and everything that is happening in the present. This knowledge is absolutely too much to handle for Dawn's mind, to the point that it heavily slows down their thinking. They have millions of thoughts every second, but they manage to put into words only one or two and with a little delay.
