Pyroverse

The Pyroverse is a series of projects directed by , which acts as an alternate universe compared to the Fantendoverse. Any Pyrostar-directed project or character is considered part of the Pyroverse, which acts as a Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired combination of all of the creator's work.
==Background==
The Pyroverse, akin to the New Fantendoverse, is a universe built atop the remains of another universe. However, this universe is implied to have been destroyed in a great calamity of some sort, and the Pyroverse's creator goddess, Tiera, is said to have been the last inhabitant of prior to its destruction.
The Pyroverse has existed for eons, with many unique civilizations blossoming across it over time.
==History==
===Creationary Era===
*0 TB - Original universe is destroyed and Tiera is born, remains unconscious and inactive for some time
*3 TB - Tiera fully awakens in the Creationary Plane, decides to bring about the advent of life with her new powers
*5 TB - Tiera, spurred on by a strange memory, creates Earth, planting the seeds for a new generation of human life to begin. Unbeknownst to the goddess, other life begins evolving first, with the plant-based Vampires becoming the first species to master the use of fire and simple tools.
*6 TB - Tiera continues creating life across the cosmos, creating the Cataloger race from scratch rather than waiting for them to evolve like humankind. The Catalogers are charged with monitoring all life in the universe, keeping tabs on them for their "Mother". She also creates the Lillius people as tools for the Cataloger's effectively creating a slave race.
*1200 TB - Tiera has finished creating a multitude of planets and lifeforms across the universe. Humankind has finally managed to ascend from apekind, though vampires have already begun a rudimentary civilization and the humans are soon drafted as workhorses.
*1500 TB - The first true settlement on Earth is born- the vampire-led village of Hachi. As the strongest warrior and fighter of the tribe, a vampire named Nisha is made ruler of Hachi, and under her rule, the settlement begins to expand. The use of clay construction becomes widespread as culture advances, and the first written language is developed.
*1527 TB - The first widespread religion appears, known as Hachism, which is a polythetistic religion worshiping a pantheon of deities representing various aspects of life and nature. Humans are often used as ritual sacrifices to these deities, even though they are slowly approaching the vampires in evolution and intelligence levels. Effectively, humanity has been reduced to a lower race than their more civilized brethren.
*1528 TB - On the faroff planet of Coronite, life emerges; specifically, the Coronid species, who are the first naturally created life that has not been crafted by Tiera.
*1539 TB - Far off in a small island chain, tropical birds begin evolving into the species later known as harpies, developing humanoid form and greater dexterity.
*1670 TB - The Hachi civilization has expanded into a vast empire, covering most of the eastern continent. Nisha's reign finally ends when she dies of old age, leaving her throne to her son, Nakuru. The Nisha bloodline continues to reign for many years.
*1689 TB - A human uprising begins, led by a man named Tubhek in an attempt to free humankind from their oppressors. Many humans are wiped out in the ensuing feuds, and many others merely return to working under their vampiric masters.
*1700 TB - Tiera's attention returns to Earth, and she realizes that her pet project of humanity is failing and being overrun by the naturally-born vampire race. As such, she crafts a plan to more or less "reset" Earth's state of affairs.
*1701 TB - Tiera creates the first fairy, Igni, as a means of ending Earth's civilization. The fairy is sent to Nakuru as a "blessing from the gods", who manipulates him into believing that the Hachist gods are angry at mortals; meanwhile, Igni's corrupting presence creates shadowy creatures, believed to be demons by those who see them.
*1702 TB - Frightened by the appearance of the "demons", Nakuru forces human sacrifices to the gods as a means of appeasing them.
*1717 TB - The second phase of Igni's plan emerges. Taking the appearance of multiple Hachist gods, they manipulate a sacrifice into becoming a powerful warrior known as the Sunborn and carrying out her will.
**The events of Sunborn occur.
*1719 TB - Having manipulated the Sunborn into possibly killing off most non-human sentient life, Igni assumes her true form and detonates, wiping almost all remaining life off the face of Earth. Tiera begins repopulating the planet with more humans, free of manipulation from the vampires. Unbeknownst to her, some vampires have survived the onslaught alongside Nakuru's infant child, Avera. These remnants of the Nisha Empire become the ancestors of the modern-day Nightshade Clan.
===Rebirth Era===
*0 RB - Earth is restarted anew, and humankind is placed intentionally evolved as the dominant lifeform. These new humans have implanted memories of sorts that supply them with very limited knowledge of Tiera- as such, no attempt at a polytheistic religion is made. Remnants of the Hachi empire are made available to humans on the eastern continent, leading to quick adaptation and advanced tool creation.
*1 RB - Growing hatred and malice from the vampires- and the survivors of other fairy-induced destruction across the Pyroverse- begin to merge with a singular lost soul and form the first Yokai, who takes on the identity of Yokai King Inversim. Inversim begins roaming the universe with the goal of taking down Tiera.
*257 RB - Built off of the remnants of the Hachi capital city, the nation of Chiqutl is founded. The surrounding areas are soon colonized.
*330 RB - The discovery of a large vein of silver in the western continent leads to the formation of a large colony of humans attracted by the metal, which then leads to the creation of the settlement of Noctur.
*331 RB - Harpies begin to reappear across the Crypta region.
*339 RB - A group of humans discover a vein of orange liquid buried in the ground- lifeblood of Igni from before her detonation. Studying this substance gives rise to the human ability to perform magic, leading to rapid advancements in science, astrology, and technology.
*543 RB - The Coronid, after studying for several centuries, manage to unlock major secrets of their own bodies and develop the ability to generate energy based off of nervous impulses, which then is developed into plasma energy technology.
*552 RB - Plasma technology ushers Coronite into a new golden age of society, with the efficient energy leading to improved environmental status and efficiency. Though they remain isolationist, life is peaceful.
*622 RB - The Catalogers go into hiding, leading to the Lillius establishing their own government and believing that they are long rid of their former slavemasters. Unbeknownst to them, the Catalogers remain in power, occasionally abducting Lillius citizens for use as servants.
*820 RB - The first ocean-faring vessels are invented on Earth, leading to explorers venturing from Chiqutl in order to colonize the nearby islands, which become known as the Shiansu region. Meanwhile, an large inland sea becomes home to a group of settlers seeking lush feeds for their livestock, leading to the founding of the Equilibra region, who live peacefully under the protection of the Noctur Empire.
*972 RB - The assassination of Noctur emperor Artorus Noctur and empress Deva Noctur leads to a feud with the nation of La'Neqa, who are traced back to being the nation who sent the assassin. The feud leads to the advent of the Western War, a battle that winds up destroying the Noctur Empire. The empire is assimilated into La'Neqa's domain.
*1008 RB - Tiera's eye returns to Earth, and once again, she is disappointed with the path humanity has taken. She creates a new fairy, Aroma, and sends her to Earth to fulfill Igni's task once again. Going by the pseudonym "Mint", she tricks La'Neqan Magequeen Argana Kiurala into believing that the world will end. However, Argana attempts to circumvent this by creating a golem servant capable of storing souls, in hopes that the coming apocalypse will be thwarted.
**The events of Masquerade occur.
*1009 RB - With Masquera's soul-storing powers, she is able to perfectly preserve the nation of La'Neqa and become the first being in the Pyroverse to succeed in killing a fairy. As Tiera believes them unbeatable, she does not bother checking back in on the planet, and merely leaves it alone for some time. Masquera sets off from her creator to help rebuild society as it once was.
*1012 RB - Noticing the might and power of the La'Neqan people, Inversim is drawn to Earth, where he seduces Argana and has a child with her. The child grows noticeable horns, leading to the birth of the first Herald and yokai hybrid, Nyxiel. Alongside Nyxiel, Inversim creates a new group of yokai to act as his allies and servants.
*1068 RB - Masquera succeeds in restoring the world to perfect balance. Her task fulfilled, she constructs a tomb for herself and seals herself away, creating a sacred site on a small island in the middle of the ocean. This tomb becomes known as the Citadel of Masks.

*1300 RB - A unknown Yokai blacksmith, given a prophecy by Nyxiel, sets out to craft highly powerful weapons for a future battle. These relics become known as Arcanum, after the mother of Nyxiel, and are scattered around the land of Equilibra.
*1307 RB - The Yokai blacksmith creates Infinitum Temple on the border between Equilibra and Osinine, also in preparation for the foretold battle. The blacksmith's whereabouts after this point are unknown.
*1458 RB - Two opposing religions- the Order of Light and the Order of Darkness- arise in Equilibra. Their origin is unknown, and they are dedicated to destroying each other.
*1642 RB - Galanta sends multiple sailing vessels across the world. While many manage to find the western continent, most remain rather than return to their home due to declining quality of life. A group of three ships carrying noblemen and noblewomen, alongside servants, arrive at a small patch of land that they dub Floranum, a sovereign nation designed to be ruled by the rich. One lone ship manages to shipwreck upon a previously discovered island, leading to the discovery of Crypta Archipelago and the harpy species.
*1678 RB - A mishap involving time magic ends the Galantan empire in one fell swoop. Few survive, and those that do are changed and scarred.
**The events of Infinity Limit occur.

*1775 RB - A group of individuals from across the world decide to join forces for the purpose of scientific advancement and the study of magic, travelling to a mysterious location in the middle of the ocean- the Citadel of Masks. Over time, the tomb is converted to a city and laboratory named Palacio de Sol, and a ruler is elected- Alchetect Prizma, Chief Scientist and Sunset Prominence Investigator. Among the group's most intriguing discoveries is the revelation of Sunset Prominence, or SP, a strange form of magical radiation that is able to bestow miraculous effects upon humans, effectively allowing for eternal youth and unique powers.
*1811 RB - Prizma's wife, Ozula, becomes an SP engine known as the Sunset Maiden in an attempt to understand the origin of SP. This creates the first known Angel, who bonds with Ozula's young daughter, Mayla. Prizma then replaces Mayla's heart with the Angel's control core, leading to a forced symbiosis between the two.
*1892 RB - An experiment gone wrong causes Palacio de Sol to crumble into nothingness, releasing hideous Angel monsters and mutating many remaining scientists. Prizma's soul is trapped amongst the ruins, and he takes on the identity of Penance, attempting to drive away anyone who dares come to Palacio de Sol. Mayla is one of the only survivors.

*1999 RB - Floranum and Orenia fund a group effort to colonize the arctic regions of the planet, creating the colony known as Sezirks.
*2018 RB - Sezirks declares independence from its founders, renaming itself to Cesserx. Cevar Omegance is elected ruler of the newly founded colony as land disputes arise, with debates over who can lay claim to the arctic landmass ongoing.
*2044 RB - Tiera, after years of ignoring Earth, finally realizes that Aroma was slain and her mission unfulfilled. Enraged, she creates a new fairy, Naga to finish the job. Naga arrives in the Crypta Archipelago and attempts to follow in Aroma's footsteps, manipulating the harpy population into trying to bring about the end of the world. However, the harpies are immediately suspicious, and led by a heroine named Coatil, they manage to seal Naga in a spiritual void.
*2046 RB - Cesserx discovers a massive deposit of a strange mineral under the arctic ice; seemingly related to the phenomenon of Sunset Prominence, the mineral is given the name of Synergium Z. Cevress Katarina orders experimentation on what the Synergium Z is capable of, and after some time, it is discovered that exposure to the mineral can cause side effects in humans, such as granting superpowers. Some test subjects mutate into strange creatures, which are actually the same Angels found in Palacio de Sol.
*2048 RB - Naga awakes from her slumber and out of revenge, attempts to manipulate a human hunter into capturing and killing the harpies. One young individual named Quetz manages to escape, and after defeating the hunter, succeeds in killing Naga once and for all.
**The events of Quetz's Adventure occur.
*2060 RB - Armed with the SYNERGY agency of superpowered soldiers, Cesserx declares war on Chiqutl and Orenia in an attempt to garner power and resources. While Floranum allies with Cesserx, much of the world unites against them and their supply of superpowered warriors, leading to the advent of the Trans-Arctic War.
*2074 RB - The Trans-Arctic War ends, with Cesserx ultimately losing. Their supply of Synergium Z is confiscated and stored in underground vaults by multiple nations, and the throne of Cesserx is overtaken by Baroness Celina, a puppet ruler allied with Orenia, with Katarina and the agents of SYNERGY vanishing from combat and unable to be found. The nation is forced to pay up major amounts of money to other nations to account for war expenses.

*2123 RB - With increased funding and determination in finding people with strange abilities like her, Malphea uses Hextermina Labs as a major source of funding for the Boundless Tournament.
*2130 RB - Scientist Eisengrad Lox is used as a conduit for summoning a yokai spirit across the universe- this causes an astrological effect known as The Ripple, which Yokai King Inversim, alongside Nyxiel, manage to use to link to the New Fantendoverse. Interested to see what lies on the other side, Inversim sendsa scout named Geki to the other side. However, the Ripple soon closes and Geki is permanently trapped away from her home.

==Inhabitants==
===Humans===
The most common inhabitant of Earth and the ones most similar to the original incarnation of Earth. Humans are the most common sight across the planet, and primarily function socially in a similar way to the standard Earth society. Though they have extremely similar genetic and bodily structure to standard humans, their mental state is typically less aggressive.
As it turns out, this reduced aggressive attitude is the result of years of genetic and social breeding by creator goddess Tiera. Though only faint memories inspired her to create facsimiles of the humans from her original universe, humanity's seemingly genetic desire to grow and prosper has lead to massive conflicts in the past, which has lead to Tiera utilizing a fairy on more than one occasion to nuke the species to the ground and start anew, breeding the new take on humanity to have fewer and fewer traits that would incite these mistakes in the future. Eventually, she grew tired of humans and began leaving them to their own devices, leaving them in the state they are now.
Humans have no inherent powers or abilities, but after years of genetic and mental tampering, are quite malleable and versatile in the types of mutations that can occur to modify them. As such, humans have occasionally been known to possess some form of superpowers that sometimes require a catalyst to trigger. They are also capable of breeding with any of the other species present on Earth, though it appears that human DNA is inherently recessive in these instances.
===Vampires===
Vampires are a humanoid species descended from prehistoric venomous plants, and appear to have reached sapience prior to that of humans. While they closely resemble humans, they can easily be differentiated by their grey skin, glowing red eyes, thorned fingertips and fang-like thorns that replace their teeth. Vampires do not appear to possess an internal skeleton, instead having thick skin similar to the cellular walls of a plant.
Despite the name, vampires do not drink blood; they can, however, inject toxins via their teeth or fingertips, similar to some toxic plants. Among other powers they possess include access to some arcane form of dark magic known as vampyrance, which relies on illusions to trick and confuse others. Vampires do possess the ability to transform humans into vampires via blood transplants- typically performed by self-injury before injecting the blood into the victim- but this has become increasingly rare and is now only performed in marriage between humans and vampires, rather than being unwilling. Vampires also have incredibly long longevity, with lifespans lasting approximately 600 years.
Vampires actually developed society sooner than humans did, and for a time, utilized them as slaves. This, however, was ended in the event they refer to as the First Cataclysm- Tiera's first attempt at resetting her pet project to improve upon humans. She largely ignored the more developed vampire species, forcing them to go into hiding as humans became more and more powerful. To this day, however, vampires have had major influences over the events of world politics and other affairs, and are mostly concentrated in the country of Pyrance, named after their illusory abilities.
===Harpies===
Avian humanoids that are largely relegated to tropical areas of the world, most concentrated in the Crypta Archipelago. Believed to have descended from tropical birds, harpies take on the shape of humanoid figures with avian wings in the place of arms, as well as clawed feet similar to that of birds. Most visible, harpies are covered from head to toe in brightly colored plumage, which tends to grow more wildly or change colors in the cranial region to take the form of something resembling hair. The skeletal structure of a harpy is similar to that of birds, possessing hollow bones with many holes in order to reduce body weight, and they seem to have a squid-like beak in place of human teeth.
Compared to humans and vampires, harpies are extremely primitive and limited in terms of their technological and social advancements. While they have managed to master weaving and have been able to create both nets and simple cloth clothing, they are largely unable to master other forms of craftsmanship, possibly due to the physical differences between them and the more standard-shaped humans and vampires. Harpies are usually not seen as civilized despite their distinct nature and ability to craft tools, possibly due to their tribal nature and the physical divide.
Harpy gender ratio is skewed heavily towards females, with an average of 12 females to every 1 male. Inversely, harpy society tends to be largely patriarchal, with the males having longer wingspans and typically being able to fly longer. As such, male harpies typically lead migrations to new homes, as well as typically acting as craftsmen. Females are more avid hunters, typically collecting food to feed the nest.
Aside from flight, harpies possess the ability to manipulate the wind through some unknown means, a technique they use to both assist their flight passively and as an offensive weapon. Harpies are also known to have a ritualistic power known as "adoption" which they are able to perform, which is an unexplained skill that seems to have the ability to mutate others into harpies. This technique only works on younger individuals, and it is unknown how exactly they have obtained this skill.
===Aquarid===
Though alien in nature, the Aquarids effectively act as Earth residents due to the only living specimens residing in the colony of Pacidris, located on the ocean floor. Being primarily aquatic creatures, the Aquarid are most closely related biologically to electric eels, having a similar skin texture and ability to generate electrical impulses. Generally, Aquarids tend to have green skin with a lighter face and underbelly, and fin-like constructs resembling hair.
Aquarid society is generally isolationist, though not by choice; until their discovery in Iliad Online, they had not actually known there were other sentient creatures on Earth, believing human wreckages they had discovered to be remnants of an ancient civilization. Despite this, they remain largely wary of humans, though their queen Phorine maintains near-constant contact with humans. The Aquarid possess a monarchical society lead by a duo of "royal families"- though only one true ruler may exist at once, members of both families exist as cooperative parties in their rule. They are master hunters, and are skilled in the use of their custom electric spears.
Along with the expected undersea breathing abilities, Aquarids possess the ability to generate electrical impulses for both offense and defense. Though generally limited, royal Aquarid such as Phorine are noted to have a higher degree of control over this ability, and have increased electrokinetic capabilities. While Aquarid can survive on land as easily as in water, they require saltwater to thrive, and as such must have a constant intake of sodium on land.
===Yōkai===
The Yōkai are a generally-defined race of chaos spirits that reside across the Pyroverse, taking on a variety of forms and guises throughout existence. Yōkai are essentially the equivalent yet opposite reaction to Tiera's existence, being creatures formed of chaos and entropy in contrast to the goddess being a living embodiment of order and stability. The species sees themselves as destined to bring down the reign of what they see as a cruel dictator, and are among the most common advocates for her destruction. The Yōkai see themselves as saviors as a result, and will typically do everything in their power to defend other civilizations from Tiera's "divine judgement"- as they are formed from the natural flow of chaos, the race essentially cannot be exterminated, and will last as long as the Pyroverse does.
Yōkai are naturally capable of manipulating elemental energy due to their ethereal nature, and as such, are freely capable of intergalactic travel without the need for specialized equipment. As spirits, they themselves are largely spectral and have no ability to actually perform tasks or carry out their goals on their own. As such, they will typically undergo possession and have sexual relations with a physical creature, resulting in a Yōkai-hybrid child the spirits themselves refer to as Heirs. Possessing limited power related to their spiritual parents and the physical body and intellect of their other parent, Heirs are typically seen as leaders, and Yōkai will follow them loyally. This often leads to younger rulers who are nevertheless seen as strong and wise, such as clan leader Geki. Heirs will always possess horns, regardless of whether or not the original species did, and these horns have since become synonymous with Yōkai themselves.
