My World
A small bit of worldbuilding!
The world I've made for my Ocs is a replica of Earth, same as Earth but just in the sense that there are non-human creatures living alongside the normal people. Some of these people can look human (ex. Xander as a Robloxian), but others are completely non-human with humanoid features (ex. Duke as a Shorka). This Earth replica has the same things happening in it that Earth does, however on a lesser scale.
There are seperate versions of Earth for each of my alternate universes my characters are set in to provide to the universe it's set in This means that sometimes the universe is different than the "core universe", or the main setting everyone is in. The "core universe" is the one described above.
This "core universe" is a house for each of the other universes inside of it, the universe that these people live in encompasses all of the other alternate universes as well just on different planets. I say "alternate universe" in the sense that these are on different planets and are happening at the same time as the core. For every new "alternate universe", there is a new planet associated with it.
To put it simply, "Universe" is an umbrella term for the main world and different worlds with different timelines.
- About the "Alternate Planets" -
The Alternate Planets are basically just different settings I have my characters in made as "AUs", they aren't different universes but function the same way. They are all encompassed in the core universe together with the main timeline. The main timeline is where the characters live normally, the other planets are their different "AUs" or seperate versions of themselves created specifically for that planet. Everything that happens on those planets are different than what happens at the core planet.
A core planet is what's described above. The main world for all my OC's original timelines if they exist in the core planet. If they're made for a different thing, they are on the different planet and exist only in that singular universe. This means that the OC in the different planet does not exist in the main core planet, and cannot exist there unless I make them able to exist there on that specific planet.
