[DEVIATION] Unit W is an ancient superweapon created sometime after the God War. The purpose of this creation was to help settle in the New Era of the Wild, acting as a defender and bringing peace to various planets. Much time was put into the production of this machine, programmed with techniques and infused with a wide variety of esoteric powers. After an undetermined amount of time, the being was completed and activated, as well as given a name and directive to promote and defend peace. For a time, it served its duty without question, single-minded and easily repelling monsters that tried to invade the society it was built in.  But as time went on, Unit W began to notice the state of things, more so as it scanned the greater galaxy. Violence and chaos was commonplace across the cosmos, wherever it looked, from crime to disaster to beast attacks. It was programmed to bring peace, but that seemed impossible, a disaster for its programming. Unit W made some calculations, then came

One who goes to Aetherion finds that it’s full of a wide variety of people. They can be divided into two main groups, each with various categories. – Primary Female Citizens: Many of the people here are the ‘typical’ all-females. These are the more prominent folk, spread across the city and taking charge of various parts of the society (though never at the expense of beasts). They are ageless beings, youthful and kind, yet ready to fight if the needs be. Highly magical, they have the ability to perform effects both mundane and spectacular. Intelligent and learned, they use immortality to further refine their magic, technology, and society, to always learn and experience the world. Experiments are discovered and made across the ages, and the works and studies are carefully done and applied so rushed compromises do not occur and allow failure. To prevent stagnation, they are explorers by nature, often changing jobs every few decades and mapping the ever changing underground world.

Among the vast Wild Galaxy, various factions exist, all with their own agenda and goals. And while the Indie Squad and Bloody Savages are among the major players, there is another faction that causes waves where it goes. The Hidden Fingers. A group of highly skilled thieves who travel the stars in a specialized ship, looking for the most wondrous and valuable of artifacts, treasures, and technology to steal. Not out of malice, though, but for the thrill and excitement of it all. They make it key not to steal from average folk, as would it be both boring and cruel. They instead target those who can afford such losses, such as tyrants, bigwigs, fancy places, and lost ruins. Sometimes they even steal from the more prominent heroes, like the Indie Squad, just to mess with them. But to call them evil would be inaccurate. They are simply having their own fun in a wild realm, and actually despise true injustice. When the chips are down and times are dire, they will ally with heroes for a

Aside from the main high council, another council exists, one for the Sapient Beasts of the city. Not inferior at all, in fact also holding great political power in Aetherion. The Beast Council consists  of fabled Pokemon, Digimon, and Pals that help oversee various aspects of the city, from natural to technological to magical. They often, with some exceptions, dwell in the halls of the palace for better observation. Pokemon  -Arceus: A creator deity, Arceus rarely appears in person, and instead acts as a balancer for reality. Indeed, when this stern and serious figure does appear in Council meetings, it’s due to a dangerous crisis. -Articuno: A bird of ice, Articuno is one of the overseers of tundra districts of both the city and wilds, making sure the ecosystems and temperatures are stable. A bit proud, he is a Pokemon who sees his duty as vital and does it without complaint. -Zapdos: With power over electricity, this bold and feisty avian keeps the power flows running. Zapdos

In the city of Aetherion, the nature of faith is a set of tenants based on Joy, Love, Understanding, Nature, Magic, Science, Life, and Advancement. These allow the people of the underground realm to fulfill themselves without harsh dogma and madness of religious fervor. To detail the tenants:   Joy: To live is to experience joy and happiness, to share it among people around you, and to live each day with high hopes and kindness to share. Love: Love is the key of harmony and hope, to be with the community and share passion among each other in eternal life. Understanding: It is not enough to simply know something in life. You must understand it as well, to see how it works and to prevent ignorance from spreading, so you innovate and truly learn. Nature: Animals and plants are sacred and well-treated, part of Aetherion life. Even livestock are treated humanely and give a peaceful end when harvest comes. Magic: An essential part of life, magic is cherished and respected, not to mention

 In order to better aid her work in creation and guardianship, Wadjet shed her scales to make a race of beings known as Angels. They came in a wide range of chimeric forms, all of them bizarre looking, but they are good beings, dedicated to the protection of the Divine Plane and the mortal realms. It was they who aided their mother against Apophis and helped seal him away to prevent him from causing harm. After which, they witnessed Wadjet give birth to Asha and Urgash, those who create reality, with one Galaxy acting as their personal kingdom. As Asha created the six elemental dragons, who in turn made other gods to manage the Galaxy, the angels kept out of a direct role, usually advising others when called upon. Because of their bizarre nature, they rarely appeared directly to people, often manifesting avatars in the shape of light orbs. For eons, this was the way of the Galaxy. When the God War came, the angels tried to aid the good people, but were blocked by the endless

Back at the palace… Charlie lay slumped on her couch, depressed and heartbroken. Razzle and Dazzle stuck close to her in an attempt to comfort her. Constance stood nearby, keeping watch over her. Charlie couldn’t believe it. She connected with someone! And now she was gone! Didn’t even get to know her name! “It’s not fair,” she whimpered.  As Charlie was brooding, Lucifer wandered into his daughter’s chambers and saw her distress. “Charlie!” he exclaimed, hurrying to her side.  “What’s the matter, sweetie?” The princess looked up, “It’s just…Andrealphus. He did something horrible!” Lucifer gasped, then narrowed his eyes.  Sitting beside his daughter, he took hold of Charlie’s hands and said, “Tell me everything.” As she began... – Vaggie was still not dead, it turned out. She lay on Cherri, dazed and barely conscious, as the cyclopean carpet drifted towards the floor of the cavern.  Husk glided after them on his rudimentary wings, meowing hoarsely. But she and the others were

In a world like ours...well, some key differences, like the various different flora and fauna, the presence of magic and other supernatural powers, and of course the fact multiple types of sapient beings living together, was still quite typical, with everyday work, fun, problems, and solutions. And on fun and work mixed together, one story bears telling. It all started with a bus pulling into a station in Winterfell.  On that bus, staring wistfully out the window as she brooded on her recent past, was a young girl named Arya Stark.  She clutched a well-used pair of drumsticks in one hand, which was all she had left of her drum kit. That event could have gone better. But to dwell on it too much was not great for her either. She needed to get home and rethink things. Still, even if she did have to sell her kit for her ticket home, she managed to come away with valuable memories.  Arya collected her luggage, filing out as she did her best to shut out the cookie-cutter pop music that

The Royal Palace: The seat of government for Aetherion, the Grand Castle is a massive construct of stone, coral, crystal, tree, and bone, carved and molded with the bedrock itself. Waterfalls flow from openings of the palace as various plants grow along the walls, as crystals and gems shine in the underground. And as massive as it is outside, magic shows it to be even vaster inside, with many rooms, biomes, and halls to make a home and beating heart of Aetherion.   -The Grand Bridge and Gate: The main entrance of the Spire is a wide, coral-made bridge that stretches over a vast moat of fish, reptiles, and amphibians swimming together. Waters feed the moat and flow into plant-like pipes, filtering out wastes into fertilizer. Water flows through the coral as well, keeping it fresh and healthy as colors bloom in all shades. The door to the palace is framed by the skull of a giant Dalamadar, having been slain when it attacked the city, yet all parts were maintained and respected instead of

[DEVIATION] Leader of the Indie Squad, A Hero of Totality, Icy Death, Sir, Good Person, Bonehead, El Culo Insano, Sinita, Krocko, Kranky, Krocky, Lizard, Iguana, Bearded Dragon, Nature Boy. Appearance: Krocken is a Daemoraptor, a large species of dromaeosaurid about seven feet tall. His scales are chiefly indigo, with a set of orange stripes along his back. Red eyes gleam from his head. He possesses a muscular build, and a few gray feathers along his head and arms. Typical choices of clothes are a black fedora and long-coat, sometimes black pants as well. Personality: Krocken initially appears to be rather rough in his nature. He’s stoic, rough, grumpy, blunt, jaded, and rather sarcastic to people around him. He’s also prone to high levels of violence to his foes, mauling and eviscerating them alive, relating to his nature as a large raptor. Eating his foe's bodies also comes naturally to him, and he makes no excuse for it. On such, he’s also quite forward with his feelings, and
