#overworld lore

✦ Overworld is an (ongoing) original story about 4 debatable teenagers growing up!

It has everything from coming of age awesomeness, self discovery (BEING WOKE!!), slice of life episodic bullshit, psychological horror, themes of abusive relationships, religious trauma, the cycle of inevitability and fate, and also BEING WOKE!! Its great i promise :w

as of now theres not much in the world building department because i work very very slow when it comes to writing anything new and cool,.,, but im so working on it !!

The main characters make up a ragtag group called "Malum", where their ultimate goal is to become god and make the world a better place, under their rule of course! Though really only one wants to become god, the rest are just kinda going with it lol

✦ INTRODUCING THE MAIN CAST... starting with their leader (duh!!!) ✦

✦ MIRU ADELHEID ;

Miru (any pronouns!) was once a victorian ghost named Alister, though due to unforeseen circumstances, he died!!! He vowed to become god so he could make a world a better place, where the weak won't get bullied by the strong, and where everyone will live in harmony under him. aint that just swell!!? How he ended up as an albino kid? Alister convinced the original Miru to let him borrow their body for a bit (aka forever)! Now at the start of Overworld, she enters Good Heart University as the new but weird kid,

✦ YOKO KASAI ;

Yoko (she/her) is a social, popular type of kid at Good Heart with a mysterious past, literally. Nobody knows where she lives, who her parents are, or how she even got enrolled into such a prestigious university without money or a scholarship, but she's cool so nobody really questions it. Miru convinces her to join Malum by sheer force of will aka using apples and bribery, and she's been a part of it as Miru's right hand woman ever since. She's mostly in it for fun if anything, though she's keeping a close eye on Ani.

✦ ANI SHIRYOKU ;

Ani (he/him), the odd, adopted heir of the Shiryoku Tech company with 0 public appearances, definitely a topic of discussion among his peers even though he wants 0 part in it. He's soft spoken and non-confrontational, opting to sit in the corner and do some good ole people watching instead of talking. Don't get him wrong though, he likes people-- he's just not very good at talking to them! Through bribery using the promise of snacks, he's been turned into Miru's loyal dog groupmate! He does his job well, but eating people isn't easy, so he always looks forward to his pay comprised of cake and meat.

✦ RILEY ROLLER ;

Riley, the non-popular, totally normal straight a, goodie two-shoes teenager who got in with a scholarship. His adoptive family isn't very well off, though he manages. How? By selling some drugs on the side, of course! Little does anyone know, he's got a whole drug-selling empire on the side, just a little side hustle to get the money rolling in, y'know? Except Miru does know. Of course he does. Why wouldn't he? Using some good ole black mailing and money, Miru manages to convince Riley to join their little rag-tag group of friends, completing the group of 4! Riley himself isn't very pleased with this arrangement, as he usually ends up as the strategist and the straight (hah) man for the group, though the pay is good so he won't be too pissy for long.

Aaannd that about summarizes everything you'd need to know about Overworld to actually kind-of understand my posts about them lol

This is Khetshi, the Spymaster of the second court. He thinks he's cool and above it all. He's not. In fact most of the party finds him weird and annoying. He's also a nosy bitch and will try to dig up as much information about someone as he can, but he'll refuse to share anything about himself if he can help it.

"Overworld" is just the title I'm going with for this project (and I hope to god no one else has dibs on it).

The setup is as follows: It's an isekai that takes place in a pocket dimension created and run by an entity that can most accurately be described as a demigod. This particular demigod is infatuated with the fantasy genre and the medieval era, so he has created his world to reflect it. The laws of his dimension run on RPG mechanics and logic, and have a central hubworld known as the Kingdom.

This entity takes people from the real world and puts them into non-human bodies that bear his brand somewhere on their skin (or closest equivalent to skin). These people are then assigned one of five roles, and dubbed "Heroes." The individual Heroes are then made a part of the Kingdom's Royal Court, which is in essence an RPG party.

Sechen here is the name of this mysterious entity. He's not a part of the court, and is more like their DM than anything. He controls the world they live in, and creates quests, challenges, and tasks for the party to confront and overcome. That being said, he does not have total control over everything in his own dimension, as there's a particularly dangerous glitch he's spent decades trying to patch and has made no progress on it.

None of the people who have been taken into the Kingdom know much of anything about Sechen. What they do know is that he's extremely powerful, incredibly childish, and impossible to reason with. For this, the Royal Court feels nothing but animosity and fear towards him. He is completely oblivious to their feelings and believes everything he does for them is for the greater good. After all, these poor souls can't be trusted with their own devices.
