Title

The Omniverse: the whole of Creation - like a multiverse but more complex. It contains myriad universes, some of them parallels/alternates to others. Every fandom I've written for exists as a universe within the omniverse, so that all of my stories and characters are connected. Usually this doesn't affect individual stories, but a few of them deal with or reference the omniverse's existence.

A Digimon with gigantic, jet-black wings whose true identity is unknown, she is theorized by some researchers to appear when the Digital World has been plunged into chaos and is meeting its end. Although she was originally an Angel Digimon whose role was to maintain order, she was said to have fallen due to her wrath and sorrow and fusion. . . Negative emotions themselves flow out of Ordinemon's wings, and a flap of her wings will spread miasma throughout her surroundings. The endlessly overflowing miasma is capable of eventually covering the entire world, resulting in the end of all life.

However, her true nature is one of kindness, a high-standing being who plans to save the world by first returning the world, which has lost its order, to nothingness.

The omniverse concept described here is blend of my own ideas with inspiration and elements from the following fandoms, and many others:

✷ H. P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle stories have been a huge influence on me, shaping my concepts of the Dreamlands in general, Serannian in particular, and the roles of Nyarlathotep and Kuranes.
✷ My concept of Hastur and Carcosa is a blending of material from Robert W. Chambers's The King in Yellow, Lovecraft's works, and Ambrose Bierce's "An Inhabitant of Carcosa."
✷ Stephen King's The Dark Tower and related works shaped my concepts of the omniverse's structure and of alternate universes.
✷ My Dark Ocean concept is a blending of the Dark Ocean from Digimon and the violet ocean outside existence in Twin Peaks.

Ordinemon's Guide to the Omniverse

The Dreamlands

The Dreamlands is the nexus of the omniverse. While there are many alternate universes in the omniverse, there is only one Dreamlands, shared by and connecting all the universes. Most beings can only reach the Dreamlands in their dreams, but a few (primarily tesseracts) have the power to come and go at will. Some other beings make their home exclusively in the Dreamlands and do not exist in any physical universe.

Notable Inhabitants

✷ Nyarlathotep is a tesseract chaos deity, messenger of the eldritch gods and son of Azathoth, one of seven tesseracts who were the first beings created. He moves throughout and outside the omniverse as he pleases, but he has taken up residence in a palace of black glass in Kadath, at the north pole of the Dreamlands.

✷ Hastur, called "The King in Yellow," is a tesseract, the cousin and high priest of Nyarlathotep. He divides his time between his own kingdom of Carcosa and the temple to Nyarlathotep in the Dreamlands, located in a place called Sarkomand on the Plateau of Leng, in the north near Kadath.

✷ Randolph Carter is a human man who dared to defy Nyarlathotep - and won. He has learned how to travel among the universes at will but now spends most of his time in the Dreamlands. He is a dear friend of Kuranes, the King of Serannian.

✷ Luke and Jan Valentine are vampire brothers who were killed in a physical universe but somehow found themselves spending the afterlife in a bizarre, cartoonish place of which they are the only inhabitants. The area is somehow connected to the Dreamlands (possibly a pocket dimension of it), and the brothers can enter the Dreamlands for short periods of time. However, they are unable to remain outside their world for long, finding themselves popped back into their own personal afterlife when their time's up.

Serannian

Serannian is an idyllic city in the Dreamlands located on a island floating in the sky above the Cerenarian Sea. It is one of two cities dreamed into existence by Kuranes, a human who gave up his life in a physical universe to dwell exclusively in the Dreamlands. Serannian was the site of a great battle with Nyarlathotep, who resented Kuranes's abilities as a dreamer and the happiness of Serannian's citizens. Nyarlathotep succeeded in razing Serannian, but the small group of beings who opposed him called upon all the dreamers in the omniverse for aid. They dreamed Serannian back into existence, leading Nyarlathotep to realize that his cause was hopeless and retreat. Many sentient airships and balloons live in Serannian, and it is where the souls of balloons go when they pop.

Notable Inhabitants

✷ Kuranes is the creator and king of Serannian who divides his time between it and Celephaïs, the other city he created.

✷ Emily is the first being ever to exist in the omniverse, one of the original seven tesseracts. She opposed Nyarlathotep in the Dream War and gathered the group of beings who fought him and ultimately caused Serannian to be recreated. She is friends with Kuranes and remains in Serannian, although she keeps a close eye on Nyarlathotep.

✷ Poof the Drifblim is a key figure in Serannian's lore. A balloon Pokémon, he was brought to the Dreamlands by Emily to oppose Nyarlathotep, and Poof led the Just Balloons in their fight against him. Poof was responsible for calling upon the dreamers of the omniverse to restore Serannian. He now lives in the dream city and helps to protect it.

✷ Prospekt is a Drifloon whom Emily also brought to the Dreamlands, along with his Drifblim friend Bart. Prospekt is one of the Just Balloons and helped in the battle against Nyarlathotep. He and Bart remained in Serannian after the Dream War and are among the city's guardians.

✷ Szardiis

✷ Kyzer the Blimpmon. One of the Just Balloons whom Emily brought from one version of the Digital World (same one where Sabra lives). He now helps guard the city.

✷ Aerostat: He was a barrage balloon existing in the "real" world. When he was destroyed during WWII, he came to the afterlife in Serannian. He guards the city alongside Kyzer.

✷ Popped: a balloon who popped in one of the physical universes and came to the afterlife in Serannian.

The Digital World

Notable Inhabitants

Nonexistence

The space between the universes, sometimes called "Nonexistence" or "todash space," is inhabited by monsters and other bizarre entities. It is freely traversable by tesseracts, but most beings can only find their way there by accident and can easily be lost there forever. Throughout the physical universes are "thin spots" or "thinnies" where the universes' barriers are weak, and their inhabitants may be able to cross into another universe or into Nonexistence.

Notable Inhabitants

✷ Tak is an eldritch entity who dwells in Nonexistence, possibly but not necessarily a tesseract. He cannot take a physical form, but he has tried multiple times to exist in the physical universes by using other organisms as host bodies. He has been unsuccessful thus far and is currently trapped between alternate physical universes.

✷ Jowday is the embodiment of a formless "extreme negative force" from Outside, beyond even Azathoth. A combination of the Trinity Test and the casting of an occult ritual called the Babalon Working forced her to dream herself into a universe where she assimilated an approximation of a physical form. Jowday usually takes refuge in Nonexistence and is able to move between it and some universes, but she is in essence a prisoner, unable to awaken and return to her home Outside. She has the ability to manipulate time and space, and she can move other beings to locations and points of her choosing in the past and future, as well to draw them into Nonexistence.

The Dark Ocean

The Dark Ocean is the primordial sea from which all realities and universes emerge. It lies at the bottom of Nonexistence but also extends into the Digital World.

Notable Inhabitants

✷ Ordinemon

✷ Ysthli is an eldritch entity who takes the physical form of a massive blue oyster with a tri-lobed eyeball as her "pearl." She is worshipped by a cult of decapids (anthropomorphic squid), on the ocean planet of Moana orbiting the star Rigel.

Outside the Omniverse

Outside the Omniverse is the vast expanse that lies beyond the physical universes and the Dreamlands. It is where Azathoth dwells with his court, and is also the home of some other races of entities who lack a physical form as we in the omniverse know it.

Notable Inhabitants

✷ EASY is a tesseract who, upon orders from Nyarlathotep, she rescues beings who are near death in various universes and points in time, then places them in other universes where they gain supernatural powers and are known as Ends. EASY lives and works in a dark hallway lined with doors, each leading to another universe. Also by command of Nyarlathotep, she has taken a humanoid form.

✷ Murasaki, also a tesseract in humanoid form, is EASY's rival and another employee of Nyarlathotep. The beings he gathers are called Drifters, and Murasaki and EASY pit the Drifters and Ends against one another like living chess pieces. . . all for the amusement of Nyarlathotep.

✷ S'ngac is, to the perception of those from the physical omniverse, a violet-colored cloud who has devoted her long existence to study and learning. She is fascinated by physical beings and is friends with Kuranes and Randolph Carter. She has aided in their struggles against Nyarlathotep.

Key Figures in Physical Universes

✷ Sparky the Bob-omb exists in multiple Super Mario universes. This particular version of him lives in a self-contained universe known as the Castle Plexus, controlled by a mysterious entity who has caught all the Plexus's inhabitants in a time loop for unknown reasons. Sparky is just an ordinary little Bob-omb with no special abilities, but he's managed to break free of the time loop to a degree through his unselfish actions.

✷ Rip Van Winkle is from the same universe as the Valentine Brothers and was Luke's best friend before his death and relocation to the Dreamlands. She was killed by the vampire Alucard and became one of his familiars until they were all lost in battle. EASY saved Rip from destruction, and Rip agreed to join the Ends in another world, with the ulterior motive of finding a way back to her own universe to seek vengeance. She will ultimately reunite with Luke.

✷ Celeste the Drifloon lives in the physical universe from which Poof originated (specifically the Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum game universe).
