Profile


listen im just trying to develop a universe for my anthro ocs to exist in 


  • big ass forest that's a barrier between worlds, one side of the veil and the other, as it were
  • for obvious reasons ( see; monsters, ghosts, demons, etc ) it's referred to as folklore forest
  • despite it's size and physical presence, it's quite difficult to actually find the place and no one is sure why
  • it's like it takes up space that isn't space, because stories claim it's anywhere from the size of a small city to the size of a continent, neither of which should be possible without some place on a map
  • and yet, it's nowhere to be found

  • Outsider
  • Outer Edge : Flora and fauna, few beings or entities
  • Inner Edge : those often drawn by the forest and less dangerous entities
  • Forest Proper :
  • Deep Wood : danger level at maximum. unlikely to survive without a guide, even then it's hard to say. 
  • The End : unknown. things without name or age. outsiders never return from this place. forest dwellers are hard pressed to.

  • The World Outside;
  • A false 19th Century run on magic and steam
  • Among the locations outside the Forest, there are Enigma Cities-- Cities connected to other places by dimensional rifts, which seem to exist in a different spacetime.

  • the forest has various guardians on both sides of the veil, but its first line of defense is Cassiopeia, who was chosen by the forest when she was born to become its protector
  • no one asked if she wanted this gig but here she is
  • half her family ostracized her and her parents for the mark she was born with, considering it an ill omen
  • mama cassi like physically fight me my daughter is a warrior
  • grandma cassi like come at me scrubs
