- Whispernyan when he mean

The current appearance of Whisper

Whispernyan is the Owner of Super Smash Central. Joining the server shortly after the November 2018 Smash Ultimate direct, he's part of the "golden age" of the server. Whisper, as he is commonly known as by the others on the server, along with his good friend Oof have worked themselves up to become pretty essential members of the server. He was even an Admin for a time.

## **Role:**

Whisper is the Owner of the server, and as such pretty much has to do everything. He's the one whose made the current layout of the server, current server icon (which is mostly edited from the one Evo made), and so on. He's even been the one to introduce a large amount of the server emotes to then server.

## **Achievements:**

As one the longest lasted active members on the server, Whisper has reached many milestones. He, along with his good friend Oof, were promoted to Mods at an early age. Whisper eventually became an Admin, but was then reverted back to a Moderator after some difficulties.

Whisper was the first member to achieve reaching 100, 000 messages on the server. He held this for many months until Evo eventually also suppressed this in January of 2020. Whisper still holds the spot of most messages on the server which an impressive lead.

Whisper was the first member to achieve reaching 200, 000 messages on the server.

Whisper is now the owner of the entire server.

## **Smash Bros:**

Whispernyan started his days of playing smash in Brawl, but didn't get anywhere till Smash 4. Whisper who was smart and didn't buy a Wii U, spent a lot of time in the Smash Amino, challenging others in generally pretty casual battles. While he's fairly alright at competitive, most of his enjoyment of the game comes from playing with items and just having fun with friends.

**Mains:**

In Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Whisper decided that only having a few mains is over rated.

Whisper spends most of his time playing on Random, but if he had to limit it, his mains would include:

## **Likes and Dislikes:**

Whispernyan enjoys video games, especially those from Nintendo. His favorite gaming franchise is the Yo Kai Watch series, and has based his online persona around an OC he made about the game. He also enjoys many modern cartoons such as Gravity Falls, and Steven Universe. Whisper regularly plays on his Nintendo Switch on games like Super Smash Brothers, and Pokemon Shield.

Whisper dislikes most anime, because they aren't cartoons. Whisper also hates none Nintendo games except for the ones he doesn't.

Personality
Chemical

This is his current profile picture

## **Who He Is:**

Chemical is a regular on the Super Smash Central discord server. He's a fairly old member of the server, and a known Persona fan (thou honestly not sure how people got this intel). He's well known in the community for posting random nonsense and memes in General chat. You'd think by now he'd have gotten some type of punishment but he manages to avoid such acts everytime with his smooth talking.

## **Role on the Server:**

He's a regular, so he uh, regulates how good general chat can be by flooding it with memes whenever discussions get too serious.
Wizenheimer

> !d bump
>
>

-wizenheimer every 2 hours of his life

Some of wizen's art

## **Who He Is:**

Wizenheimer, who is often referred to as Wizen, is a regular on the Super Smash Central discord server. He is most known for being food at making digital artwork. He is a known fan of the Super Mario World Televison program (which has a character named Wizardheimer), and first major interaction on the server was reciting the Team Rocket Motto from Pokemon with Whisper.

## **Role on the Server:**

As a regular, Wizen has proven to be a loyal and active member on the community. Wizenheimer is famously known for being one the most consistent Bumpers on the server, often competing with others just to do it first. As mentioned above, Wizen is also known for drawing digital artwork. He uses paint.net because it's free and good. He's made many amazing pieces of arts, and is an inspiration to many on the server. Wizen was eventually promoted to a moderator on the server for his consistency in being a stellar member in the community. He gets along well with many of the members on the server, and is generally considered to be one of the best current members.
Aób: History Lessons Through a Game of Cards

This article teaches how history can be told through games, using Bassett's fictional world as an example. The game he uses to tell the history of his world is known as *Aób*, which is a card game influenced by the tension between *Ceppic* imperialist soldiers and *Darijet* native people. There are two art pieces in the article. The first is a map, and the second is an illustration of some of the playing cards.

### Fun Fact

Adam Bassett works with Smunchy Games as a game designer.
Leafy

> @Whispernyan
>
>

## Who He Is:

Leafy is a relatively new member to the server, joining on the 9th of July (2021). Since then, he's quickly became the new troll of the server, and everyone's least favorite person to be around. He constantly provokes members of the community, and then getting upset anytime he gets a taste of his own medicine. He constantly states that he "is pro", but this couldn't be further then the case. He is not even just a noob, but unfortunately English lacks a word to truly describe what he is, so I'll leave that to your imagination. The best I can came up with came from Wizenheimer, who called him "mega anti-pro"

## Role on the Server:

As the Server Clown, he does all the actions you could expect out of a discord troll. He pings people for no reason, posts memes when not appropriate, and in general is just a rude individual to be around. He was not raised the best, so he constantly tries to 1-up members of the servers to establish dominance, but saying that they backfire would be an understatement. He's definitely overcompensating for something, when I asked him what he wanted on his profile, he replied "I have 3 helicopters in my backyard and a skull of a lion". That isn't true, it's not true. He's lying and he knows it. He doesn't take anything serious.

## Smash

Leafy, much to one's surprise, is not the worse smash player to exist. He's decently competent at the game, and primarily plays as Steve, where he preforms lame, but effective combos. He also apparently mains Timmy Turner.

## Likes and Dislikes

As a young child who is probably underaged to be on Discord, he has the types of interests you can imagine. He enjoys Minecraft, constantly pestering members of the server to 1v1 him on Bedrock Edition. He also likes Pokemon, once again pestering members of the server to help guide him in a baby game. He vastly dislikes being called out, and will often result to sarcastic bottom text memes.

## Notable Server Events:

He was formally introduced to many members of the server on a particular night where he had convinced Whispernyan to join a VC with him. This created a large chain of events eventually resulting in many members of the server all joining the VC, including many members who had been inactive for months. During the duration of the VC, the Jackbox Party Pack, and Among Us were played, the former provoking Leafy into getting upset as he was unable to join due to his lack of a usable PC. This event also inspired Pie to rejoin the server.

Aaryan Balu

## Meet the Staff (V2I6)

My name is Aaryan, a second-year student at the University of Virginia. I’m more of a writer than a worldbuilder, but like any self-respecting fantasy fan, I’ve put the time in to develop my skills in both areas over the last couple of years.

Along with Adam, I'm in charge of interviewing worldbuilders for the Showcases at the top of the magazine, and I write the odd article when I think I’ve got something to say. I’m actually pretty new to this operation and incredibly excited to be a part of such a cool endeavor.

I study biology and philosophy in school, both of which I like to think help my worldbuilding and storytelling. When I'm not working for WBM, you can usually find me reading, DMing, or writing my own fantasy stories. My current project, The Rogues of Coriau, centers around a team of thieves who infiltrate a noble household to rob the vault, only to get caught up in the sweeping revolution that threatens to overwhelm the entire city. My goal, ideally, is to paint the city of Coriau as a breathing character, a pre-industrial pot of chaos just on the verge of boiling. Since I’m unlikely to pull that off on my own, I’ve been relying on WBM to help build it up, little by little.

Youngtusk

Although Yountusk is credited as an artist for V1I1, it is unclear what art this user contributed to this issue.

This user was featured in the Meet the Staff section of the first issue, which reads:

"Works in advertising, plays in all things gaming. Originally started worldbuilding for homebrew RPGs, currently in the middle of fusing many worlds into the same universe. Has an uncanny ability of ignoring “start small” advice. Blogger of things sometimes."
SergeantPatrick/Patrick Walsh

As of V1I2, Walsh was the Art Chair.

Patrick Walsh is credited in the first issue as an artist and editor, though it is unclear which articles Walsh worked on.

Writers

## Writing Department

### Writing Department Chair, Deputy Chairs

The Writing Department leaders are generally responsible for updating Writers on deadlines, contacting any Writers who have not submitted in over 4 months, and onboarding new Writers. As a member of the administration they are not required to submit an article every 4 months, but it is strongly encouraged that they do.

Additionally, the Writing Department admin are responsible for bringing in Contributors (discussed below) and providing early reviews to anyone who is submitting for the first time. Early reviews should focus on developmental editing, working to improve the writing overall, rather than grammar and punctuation.

The Writing Department leaders are responsible for keeping track of Writer staff and organizing any required scheduling.

### Writing Department Staff

Writer staff are responsible for creating original articles, short stories, flash fiction, or other types of written material for reader’s consumption within Worldbuilding Magazine. If accepted, Writers are expected to respond to their editors in a timely manner. We request that Writers submit new content every 4 months (every other issue). If you cannot meet that, contact the Writer leadership. We would rather have you on the team and contributing a small amount than not having you at all.

*How to acquire this role:*Request it from the Writing Department Chair or Deputy and be prepared to share examples of your writing.

### Writing Department Contributors

Contributors are temporary staff who gain access to the editing channel to discuss and collaborate with their editors. Contributors only develop on a per-issue basis, and lose the role after that issue releases. They are expected to respond to their editors in a timely manner.

*How to acquire this role:*Request it from the Writing Department Chair or Deputy and be prepared to share a few pieces of your written work.

This article is the second in a series of articles about the collaborative world Postantera. The series is preceeded by an article titled "Welcome to the World of Postantera!" by UNoahGuy.

Similar to the first Postantera article, this one begins with a flash fiction piece and is followed by details of the world. In this issue, it explores the ecology, and features a character known as Emilia Clausen. She is an Aeternum, or an immortal human.

The next article appears in V1I4.
Revolutions

"Whether the world is modern, medieval, futuristic, or of another time period, revolutions have shaped some of the most important aspects of society. When creating history a worldbuilder can use revolutions to shape their civilizations, influence change in nations and ideologies, and create the conflicts that drive stories. This article will go over the various causes, aspects, and effects of technological and cultural revolutions, as well as how to apply them in a worldbuilding context."

Discerning Core Races

This episode can be found here.

## Episode Description

Join Tyler, Anna, Chris, Imachinate, and Inky as they discuss as they discuss the concept of the Core Races in fantasy. Be it Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, or Halflings we briefly touched on each of them to try and cover: who they are, what they can do for you, why they exist, and how to discern when to use them or to throw them out.
Batrouse

Batrouse is featured in the Meet the Crew section of the first article and is refrenced to as an artist. Batrouse's description reads as:

> Amateur artist who worldbuilds for fun. His world is a semi-scientific fantasy with a major focus on unique creatures, and their evolution. Specializes in animal design and lore. Canadian university student majoring in chemistry. Has a fascination with prehistoric life, especially Cambrian animals.

TheToastWithGlasnost's Slidgründe

uNoahGuy takes a look at u/TheToastWithGlasnost's world, Slidgründe, which is briefly described in the following way,

> Long ago, (1200~ years) the First Kingdoms (abbreviated as FKs), four empries using advanced technologies and magic, waged a devastating war that plunged civilizations into chaos, leaving magical war-besasts, abandoned cities, and dormant missile silos in their wake. Now, in no way is this world grimdark or anything: these days, people live pleasant, peaceful lives. But the year is 1251, or 2038 for us, 21 years after the wormhole between our words opened, and with the visit of a delegation of Earth people in a starship, the world is at a crossroads betweeen isolation, or taking a risk and playing with power again.
>
>
How Myths Reflect their Cultures

A quick summary of the article is easily made through the second paragraph:

> It is true that myths are religions have been created by their cultures, but many disagree on the purpose. So let's look into different myths and religions around the world and see what they can tell us about the culture that created them.
>
>

Examples looked at:

* Egypt's use of mythos to establish a divine right to authority for the Pharaoh.
* Pantheons via Greece, Athens, Sparta, and Hinduism.
* Moral guides through the Greek myth of Icarus.

uNoahGuy finishes the article with some thoughts on various ways of incorperating mythology into a setting.
LieutenantDebug

In the early days of the magazine, he was known as Debug200. At the start of the new volume, he changed his name to LieutenantDebug.

He joined the magazine as the Meta Deputy in V1I2. Two issues later, he was promoted to Meta Chair. With the resignation of UNoahGuy, many positions changed including LieutenantDebug's, who was promoted to Vice Editor-in-Chief for V2I5. He was later promoted again to Editor-in-Chief as of V3I3.
Blasting Off into Space Opera

This article is labled as a Genre Article and refers to Strongly\_O\_Platypus' article, "Tolkien About High Fantasy " from V1I1. LordHenry's article focuses on a subgenre of science fiction known as space opera. Described are some common and defining tropes of the genre along with a list of example works including:

* Dune (books, movie, miniseries)

Worldbuilding 101

This is the first episode of the podcast, *Worldcasting.*

## Episode Description

Join Dino, B.K. Bass, Hexarch, and Imachinate as they discuss worldbuilding for your medium—plus some general tips and tricks along the way!

## Transcript (WIP)

Intro: The roadways of worldbuilding... 'cuz you're always on them and you're never really gonna get off them. The destination is when you're done with the project. Even then you might get back on the road and you'll want to go on a different project with it. So it is the idea that it is continuous, and you're always going to be checking and making sure you're within bounds. And if something *has* to change, learning how to change it and go about changing it.

[intro music]

Taylor (Dino): Welcome to *Worldcasting* where we discuss real made-up things. I'm your host, Dino, and today you'll be joining me on a discussion of what is worldbuilding. Can we separate it from the medium in which it is used in for critique? And if so, how? How does the medium in which you worldbuild affect the finished product? And, how can you make informed choices while worldbuilding? Today joining me are B.K., Hex, and Imachinate. If you'd be so kind to introduce yourselves.

B.K. Bass (B.K.): Hi, I'm B.K. Bass. I'm an author of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, a writer here at *Worldbuilding Magazine*, and also a publisher with Kyanite Publishing.

This user is featured in the Meet the Crew page of the first issue, which reads:

> Well, his DnD group said that he could DM a game, and now he’s fallen down the rabbithole. Will he ever write something down about his worlds? We’ll see, but until then, he’ll be writing down his strange world ideas in his travel notebook, where he really ought to be recording his latest adventures on the high seas. A Canadian political nerd living abroad, he always tries to create interesting political systems, and still usually ends up with empires governed by grumpy tyrants. But at least they’ll make great villains if he ever runs a DnD game.

Volume 1

The first volume of *Worldbuilding Magazine* was originally called *Worldbuilding Monthly,* which was not changed until the second volume. The first volume consists of seven issues released in 2017. This volume is characterized by short articles (typically one or two pages in length) in compared to later volumes.

Thanks to a few ambitious people on the subreddit r/worldbuilding, the magazine was born.

Pictured below is the original logo for the magazine.
A Monologue on Mountains

This article focuses on mountainous biomes to help guide worldbuilders. The following is a short excerpt from the article.

"However, for the purposes of this article, I will be focusing on two distinct biomes oft found in mountainous regions: Taiga and Alpine Tundra. Taiga, or coniferous forests are found at lower altitudes and are distinguished by evergreen trees and a much lower level of diversity of plant life than other regions by comparison. Alpine Tundra is the region above the tree line on mountains, where the winds are intense and temperatures are so consistently low that trees and large plants do not survive."

Artists

## Art Department

### Art Department Chair, Deputy Chair

The Art Department leaders are responsible for updating Artists on deadlines, providing suggestions for what to illustrate for each piece that requires it, contacting any Artists who have not submitted in over 4 months, and onboarding new Artists. As a member of the administration they are not required to submit artwork every 4 months, but it is strongly encouraged that they do.

The Art Department is also responsible for managing cover art, layout, and providing feedback to all artists.

The Art Department leaders are responsible for keeping track of Artist staff and organizing any required scheduling.

*How to acquire this role:*Generally artists gain this position, since they are most familiar with what the Artist staff are expected to do. Should an opening appear they may be contacted directly, or an opening my incur an open request for volunteers. In this case one would be chosen from the list of volunteers, with final say from the existing Art Department Chair.

### Art Department Staff

Artists are broken into Artists and Layout Artists:

Artists are responsible with providing original artwork to accompany Writers’ work in Worldbuilding Magazine. This is most often done once Art Department Administration delivers instructions for suggestions as to what should be created for each approved article. If there is extra time or very few submitted works, Artists may work on extra items such as advertisements.

Layout Artists are responsible for assembling the written and visual content into the completed product. Each will tackle items separately, then one will compile them into the final issue.

Both are expected to create artwork/develop layouts in a timely manner. We request that Artists of both types assist in the process every 4 months (every other issue). If you cannot meet that, contact Art Department leadership. We would rather have you on the team and contributing a small amount than not having you at all.

*How to acquire this role:*Request it from the Art Department Chair or Deputy and be prepared to share a portfolio of your work for review. Additionally, if you are requesting a Layout Artist position, you must have Adobe InDesign.
