The ManicVerse

The Manicverse, a realm that seems to defy most underlying rules and fundamentals of existence, nonexistence, and beyond. The origins of what’s defined as the Manicverse is unknown to mostly anything and anyone within it, however, many have theorized and even attempted to discover the truth behind the Verse’s creation and purpose, though all attempts have been in vain. As for what the Manicverse itself is, in comparison to other types of verses such as Universes, Multiverses and many others, the Manicverse is on a far larger scale, a scale that’s in comparison to the Outerverse. The indefinite size of the Manicverse allows for stories of all natures, genres and types to emerge, though one type of story which has a relatively large influence on the Manicverse itself would be that of Undertale. It’s unclear as to why Undertale itself was chosen for the leading source of information and ideas, though because of this, much of the Manicverse and its functions revolve around that of Undertale and its AUs, or “Alternate Universes.” Something else to note about the Manicverse is that due to the nature of its creation, it also serves as a pathway throughout the very fabric of existence, nonexistence, concepts, and even fiction itself, meaning that there truly are an infinite amount of possibilities and outcomes.

The Manicverse houses countless stories, verses, and locations, most of which all have some form of purpose. The Database, for example, is the very heart and soul of the verse, allowing for it to function as intended. The Database itself is broken up into several branches of power, this being a safety measure to ensure that if anything, or anyone power-hungry enough to wish destruction across the entirety of the Manicverse, it’ll prove to be much more challenging to do so, as they’ll have to scavenge across the Manicverse to discover these branches of power. There are also several locations within the Manicverse that take inspiration from that of Undertale and the original Multiverse it resides in, and furthermore, due to the Manicverse’s unique generation, the Manicverse is an access point to numerous locations throughout fiction, acting as a hub of sorts.

### The Far Lands

The Far Lands is essentially the equivalent to the Manicverse’s own variation of the Undertale Multiverse, as this is where a majority of the Main Story will take place. The Far Lands are equivalent in size to several Multiverses and is supposedly still expanding in size, allowing for new Universes, Realms, Multiverses and other segments of existence and nonexistence alike to generate. The Far Lands, unlike most Multiverses, which reside more towards the center of the Manicverse, is more towards the outskirts, essentially moving out with the ever-expanding Manicverse. Due to this factor, the Far Lands were given their name and due to the amount of elements involved along with other things such as Dark Matter, radiation, etc. Many changes occurred within the Multiverse, as originally, the Far Lands was supposed to be a copy of the Original Undertale Multiverse, StaticTale being the Undertale, though after the events which unfolded within StaticTale, the Database would manifest what would be the proper Undertale.

In terms of constructs and properties, the Far Lands doesn’t stray that far from what’s considered normal, excluding the larger quantities of radiation, dark matter, and other elements due to the Far Lands being more towards the edge of the Manicverse at all times, this however also adds to the obscurity of the location, as many within the Manicverse have told stories of the Far Lands, as many also believe it's merely a myth. The Multiverses which make up the Far Lands consist of what can typically be found within a Multiverse: Universes, Timelines, Realms, Sub-Verses, etc. Within the Far Lands, there are several known “Glitches” or what most refer to as gateways that can led to what’s known as “The Other Side” something the Database still has influence over due to it remaining within the Manicverse, though is restricted due to its abnormalities and instability.

### The Threshold

Despite how far out the Far Lands might be, it’s still restricted by what’s known as The Threshold. Essentially, going beyond the Threshold is when most fundamentals begin to decay and break down, this being due to the fact that it’s near the “edge” of the Manicverse, which is rapidly expanding. Ajax was quite close to passing the Threshold, however, was denied and launched back into the many verses below, resulting in his appearance in StaticTale. There are some verses and realms that reside beyond the Threshold, but not many, as in most cases, they’re ripped apart or crushed into nothingness by the rapid acceleration of the Manicverse. The Threshold is also the divider between The Manicverse, and all the verses which rely on concepts to function, and the inconceivable madness which exists beyond it. To most within the Manicverse, they physically wouldn't be able to comprehend what the Threshold protects them from, however, many believe that if one manages to bypass the Threshold, they’ll be granted powers beyond what they currently find perceivable, making it a daunting challenge to take.

It remains a mystery to most as to who, or what created the Threshold, much as to why the Manicverse exists, and why it needs something such as the Database to function. Though it's believed that if someone is capable of harnessing the Database, along with all of its branching powers, they’ll be granted enough conceptual authority to bypass the Threshold, allowing them to truly step into the Outerverse or even that of the Metaverse itself.

## Verses

There are many Verses within the Manicverse and the Far Lands. These verses will help make up the setting for StaticTale's story. While each Universe may have several timelines, each one (under normal circumstances) will be entirely separate from the other timelines within said Universe. For example, under normal circumstances, a Sans from an Undertale Genocide Timeline won't be able to find their way into a Pacifist Timeline (unless there's some outer force at play). Verses are essential for anything to exist within fiction, they're the backbone of it all, so this portion of the page intends to explain the many types of verses so that you all may get a better understanding of how they'll function within the story.
