Children of the Stars

Origin, Continuum and Finality

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

The three children who upheld the foundation of existence and presided over the multiverse from the Sea of Stars, better known as Klotho, Lakhesis and Atropos. However, they’ve long since perished when skyfall tore the heavens and everything they stood for.

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

What is the Corrosion?

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

A destructive, corrupting phenomena that defies the order of time and space with its countless forms tied to a similar objective; to tear down the multiverse. For reference, think of the Black Tide of Amphoreus, or the Honkai Beasts and Herscherers.

The victims' prolonged exposure to corrosive substances leads to the destruction of their self and their core code. It infiltrates their soul and leaves nothing but hollow vessels twisted into horrifying creatures. In its earliest, it's reversible but not completely curable. Those infected by it would be scarred. If exceptionally powerful individuals become corroded into Heralds, or if they’ve been left to their devices for an exceedingly long period of their existence; this is when the Pillars need to step in. need to intervene and counter them.

These otherworldly creatures were responsible for the disaster which brought down the Children of the Stars, and are trying to bring down the Pillars who now stood in their place.

Who are the Pillars?

The Demigods of the Multiverse

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

In the death of the Stars, these children were chosen to become the embodiments of the concepts who hold the multiverse together, and sever dawn from dusk, preventing the second skyfall.

The following characters were arranged in order of the constellation’s recognition, not just the individual’s birth order.

I. The Conduits of Imagination

Ars, the Pillar of Creation; Ink ✍︎

Lathos, the Pillar of Destruction; Error Sans 𖥔

@/comyet and @/crayonqueen

The Founder of the Unified Council, and the Monarch of the Noxius Legion

IV. The Peacekeepers

@/dokudoki

V. The Inflexible Order

Chronos, the Pillar of Time and Space, Timekid Sans ⴵ

@/perfectshadow06

VI. The Exception

Only the bygone stars bore the authority of selecting demigods. While countless souls seek the throne in the sky, there is one exception who unintentionally soared through the clouds due to special circumstances.

Cœur, the Pillar of Evolution; Abyss Sans ᛝ

The Interdimensional Voyager

MORE NOTES

Despite their similarities in appearance, there’s only three Sanses in this list.

Vitaelli, Mors, Elio and Noctifer were born from divinity, and thus, grew into their respective roles.

Ars is the oldest Pillar who ever existed since the beginning of time.

Speaking of, the role of Pillar of Time has been inherited through generations regardless of the death of the stars. Timekid Sans is its recent successor, inheriting the name Chronos due to how much he resembles the first.

Timekid and Abyss are the only mortals who became demigods without losing themselves.

Abyss becomes the Pillar of Evolution during the first act of the series.

The Prominent Factions

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

The Unified Council of Judgement 𖤓 ✍︎

An interdimensional and intergovernmental organization founded by Ars and Elio, with the objective of protecting the peace and fostering collaboration with others in order to fend off the darkness. Its members consist of characters originating from corroded timelines clipped from their original universe, preventing further deviation and destruction.

The Lillium Sanctum 𖣂

A paradise nurtured by the Pillar of Life and the other demigods from Reapertale. The sunlit courtyard donned with golden flowers promotes healing and recovery for the broken and corroded.

The Timekids ⴵ

In the records, they were originally known as Timekeepers who uphold the order of time and prevent external interferances. This generation consists of a merry group of children who set off throughout time and space to continue their legacy.

XTALE @/jakei

A group of outstanding soldiers with high corrosion tolerance led by Lord XGaster, one of Ars’ companions and followers, who possessed excellent qualities in becoming a demigod.. were it not for the exception—

The Omega Timeline ᥫ᭡

This community consists of unaligned characters who choose to flee conflict and seek residence in the Omega Timeline overseen by Core Frisk, who tirelessly kicks off the corrosion idling behind their doors. This too, serves as the Peacekeepers’ hub of operations.

The Noxious Legion ☾

A longstanding legion of puppets and chess pieces controlled by Lord Nightmare, whose darkness shelters the lost and broken. He orchestrates despair and sorrow throughout the entire multiverse to empower himself indirectly.

Inconvenient they might be, the Legion is no exception in the eyes of the corrosion, and they're no stranger to the threat of corrosion either.

The Verdant Spire

In the midst of the multiverse tormented by the corrosion, there is one organization who exploit this epidemic without consequence.

A cult of doctors who use the corrosion to climb the spire of godhood regardless of their methods, for the end justify the means.
