AETHER HARBOR
nestled on an island in the atlantic ocean, just off the east coast of the united states, is a tiny city-nation by the name of aether harbor.
this idyllic town is rife with all sorts of people, drawn in by the almost utopian infrastructure and the prospect of peaceful big city life.
some come to retire, some come to get a fresh start; regardless, each and every one of its native citizens would boast that aether harbor is the single most peaceful place on planet earth...

...or it was.
when the rifts first opened, no one was quite sure what was happening. one moment, the world was fine and normal and made sense – the next, a massive hole in spacetime ripped through the air at the center of the city, though it was there for only a second. in its wake, it left behind a person: a human being, just like anyone else, disoriented and homesick. someway, somehow, time and space had wrapped its tendrils around this person and tore them away from the cosmos. and then they were here in aether harbor, alone and confused and with no way back home.
it was a strange day. but the aether harbor natives took sighs of relief as the sun dipped down on the horizon. it was a strange day, but at least it was over.
and then it wasn’t over. over the course of several months, more and more rifts opened at the city’s heart. from each tear, another off-worlder appeared, each one as confused as the last and each one from a different universe altogether. not one person could make any sense of it. no scientist had any answer. one day the world made sense. the next, it didn’t.
instead of leaving the off-worlders to suffer on their own, aether harbor put together the off-worlder loan (or owl), a subsidized funding that would provide the off-worlders with free food, medical care, and shelter in order to get them on their feet. it was – and remains – the only thing theycould do for them, until a way to send them back home is discovered. but as time continues ticking and more rifts continue to open, it’s hard to say when, if ever, that will happen…
➤ welcome to aether harbor! this is a friends-only oc sandbox that takes place in the cozy city-nation of, well… aether harbor! it’s an idyllic big city with that small-town peaceful feel. people know each other and there’s a great sense of community, but there’s still plenty to do around here and actually good infrastructure (such as public transportation, for example)! the only thing is that, recently, people from other universes have begun to pour into the city through tears in spacetime called “rifts.” these people are called off-worlders.
➤ off-worlders are characters pulled from any universe. it can be their main-verse, it can be an apocalypse au, it can be whatever! you can even use a fantasy-based character, and they’ll still retain whatever supernatural or magical elements they had in this new world. all off-worlders are given a one bedroom apartment in the cosmos apartment complex at no cost to them. they are also all afflicted on and off with something called “homesickness,” which involves some light nausea, fevers, headaches, and glitching. totally normal stuff.
➤ you can be whoever you want to be! if you’d like your character to be an aether harbor native, they can be! if you’d like to pull your character from another universe and make them an off-worlder, you can do that! it’s entirely up to you and what you want to do. the world is your oyster!
➤ this is a sandbox, which means you have pretty much total free reign over what you do with your characters. that said, we recognize that it can be a bit boring to roleplay in a sandbox with no stakes or story, which is why we will occasionally host events! events will really be just about anything, from fun festivals to evil giant flowers to your characters suddenly having to investigate a murder scene. there’s no telling what could happen! but anything that happens here will be just for fun, with no pressure to participate if it's not your thing. it’s just to give you some sense of direction and character development.
➤ aether harbor is an idyllic city, but it’s not a utopia. there’s still crimes, corruption, and evil a-plenty, so feel free to throw your serial killers and terrorists in here too!
