>>> BaSiC CaNDY iNFoRMaTioN >>>in this thread, each planet will be more thoroughly explained. >>> candy shape relevance <<<
;; sphere : common - core domain, abilities are simple, generally physical/weapon-based and non-magical
;; cube : uncommon - mixing pot, abilities are either magical weapon or single-type magic
;; pyramid : uncommon - on point, unusual specialized abilities
;; diamond : rare - fairy court, the upper crust
;; gon-family : rare - parade, royals
the shape of the candy determines the origin of the monster, and partly dictates their abilities
the otherworld is divided into an orbit of small planets. core domain is the largest and central planet of this orbit where many of the monsters originate from. it is like a metropolis, a thriving city filled with anything one can imagine. it is also the most chaotic and disorderly of all the planets in the otherworld.
mixing pot and on point are respectfully to the east and west of the core domain. mixing pot is a highly cultural planet and one of the smaller planets. they are very rooted in traditions while maintaining a very diverse multitude of smaller communities which leaves the monsters from here sturdy in their morality and other beliefs though they may vary.
on point is a bit like wild country and semi-large in size. though it may be bigger, its population is spread out across all the odd sorts of different environments of land. it is known for its odd climate, as it may be blistering winter on one border but a few feet away may be a boiling desert. monsters from here tend to follow their own rule, which makes them unusually difficult to cooperate with.
fairy court is to the south while parade is to the north of core domain. ironically though the fairy court is considered 'the upper crust' it is 'below' all the other planets. it is of a well-proportioned size and is considered very 'exotic'. though they are a step below royalty, they consider themselves higher class and deserving of admiration. in fact they tend to rival the true adorned royals. however their abilities are unknown, but some rumors are that some can turn into majestically mythical creatures. other rumors say they have deep magical roots connected to ancients.
parade is the least known about planet so far. all that can be really revealed is that they're royalty and seen as the feared rulers of the otherworld. their bond to each other is strong because they care greatly for each other, considering each other 'family' though they are not all related.
>> technology of the otherworld is on some levels far greater than on Earth, but in some places there is no technology at all. it tends to vary. because of their great technological advancements, especially on parade or perhaps solely because of parade, it is possible for communication between planets to occur. however it is usually parade that is sending messages through holograms to the other planets, as they are the ones in control of the technology to do so. they are not known to be very dictator-like in their ruling, in fact they usually let each planet do its own thing though this mainly pertains to mixing pot and on point. they simply keep watch over things and ensure that they remain in power, however the only ones to challenge their authority have been the fairy court. this is the true main rivalry between planets.
as for how the other types feel about each other, opinions vary. sphere types mostly are indifferent or are too concerned with their own interests to bother with 'status' such as who is a stronger or weaker type, due to the fact they are always in each others' faces in such great numbers that things such as type pride has difficulty surviving.
however, the dealings between core domain and parade are quite different. there is a bit of 'flexing their muscles' going on over core domain, as they need a hefty amount of support which is provided by parade. it seems as though they are harmlessly helping a fellow otherworld planet, but under the covers there is a price to be paid known as the Tourny. an event forcing participation of core domain monsters in a dangerous series of tests and 'games', which the main purpose of is to entertain parade. majority of core domain are ignorant to the politics of the matter, but even if they learn to acknowledge their situation there is not much they can do to change these matters.
type pride though is very different for the other planets. pyramid and cube types hold such great pride in either their ability or their heritage that gives them an aura of arrogance. because each of their respective sources of abilities are so unique, they will always have the argument of who is better. so visiting each other are very uncommon not because there are no ways of reaching each other, but because they have no interest in doing so.
as for the dynamic between these two and the rare types, it can get politically complicated. though simply put, they tolerate being under their rule because their rule is just like not being ruled at all anyway. why fight it unnecessarily?
currently note that only sphere/cube/triangle types are available at the moment

>>> CoRe DoMaiN >>>there are two main places on this planet :
>> chaos city
this is where the majority of monsters on core domain reside. it is a diverse place with several different sectors in it, which leaves you plenty of room to be creative with your monster's background. they could be doing pretty much anything here, which helps it live up to its name of 'chaos'. as... pretty much anything really does go on here. there is no one truly in charge or overlooking things, how it manages to continue to exist until today is a mystery.
they manage to keep themselves orderly enough so that they can continue their lives of utter disorder.
think of any big name city in our world, and this would be very much like it except with monsters and far more pollution. darker and dreary with a gloomy smog looming practically everywhere. dirty streets with very little 'sunshine' to be found anywhere. however the buildings' lights and liveliness of the place will lead you to believe otherwise.
----- market street : this street isn't actually just a street, it is an entire district. and it's just as it sounds, a market. a market that sells anything. literally really, anything.
----- the coliseum : where the Tourny is held every year. though its name would imply that it looks like a coliseum, it looks nothing of the sort. there is a large underground hidden sector for the survivors last legs of the Tourny. above it is what looks like different kinds of fields of battle. what goes on in the underground levels? only the winners might divulge this information.
----- blue light district : this area is mainly for bars, clubs, hotels and all the night-life sort of business. skate rinks, cafes, restaurants, specialty shops and any other late night endeavors usually happen here.
----- bridge : an area of the city consisting mainly of bridges that lead from building to building, almost like an amazing maze of skyscrapers. it has great views of the outer city and riverbanks, which is desirable for residency.
----- sunset park : a park that exists along a no longer running elevated railway that runs along the outside edges of the city. it is the only green that exists in the city, and is generally well maintained for being the last natural beauty of the place.
----- bubble dome : a building entirely filled with water and aquatic life and/or monsters. it is exactly as its name suggests, a dome; an extremely large dome made of crystal.
----- school district : imagine a whole bunch of elementary schools and high schools all packed in together in a single district, and this is what you'll get! a ton of young monsters jumbled around in a crowded series of schools everywhere.
----- biker's lane : this area is actually not too far from the high schools of the school district, it is a hang out for the teen monsters. many of whom start gangs and fight over this particular territory.
----- the ferris wheel : the adult monster gang playground, where adult monster gangs fight and argue over territories. it's a very business type area with 'serious' looking shop fronts, so the kids tend not to stray near it often as syndicate type transactions occur often in these areas and can be dangerous. there is however an actual ferris wheel here too.
----- packing district : these are much like a ghetto or slums, where a lot of apartment buildings and homes are squished next to each other. it can become a bit cramped here.
----- port : this is where deliveries are made, as the core domain does not have a well sustained planet they must rely on the help of parade in order to maintain their lifestyles. here they receive supplies/food and other things necessary in order to survive. it is where the river meets the sea.
----- bus station : the public transportation of the city, it is actually an extensive train system. there are rails that run underground and above ground that reach every corner of the city, and there are two lines that run out to the wastelands as well. there are some communities living in the unused underground tunnels as well.
----- electric currency : the second dome of the city, which is an enormous power plant that keeps the city running. it is a powerhouse, and also a major pollutant.
>> wastelands
this is the outer lands of core domain where those who desire more isolation may choose to make their home. it is definitely quieter with less bustling and hustling of the city life, but it's called the wastelands for a reason. all of the main city's pollution and trash/garbage, unwanted things tend to end up here.
in essence, it is a difficult place to live. yet there are those that do it anyway.
---- hot spot : this area is filled with giant flat rocks with narrow bases which can shelter homes underneath the large surface area of the flat top.
---- problems with this however is that the rocks get extremely hot from the scorching sun and the narrow base holding up can often crack,
---- usually they will fall to their sides which means homes won't be squashed but there are the few occasions.
---- bedside : this is the area on the outer lands towards the parts of the river that are extremely shallow.
---- it is also an area mostly consisting of rocks which is hard to cultivate anything.

>>> oN PoiNT >>>
this particular planet is rich in diverse terrain, however those terrain are not rich in the typical sense of prosperous land as on mixing pot. these lands are either barren or constantly distraught by natural disasters. here you will find deserts next to ice lands, snow forests next to foggy desolate moors, rock mountains and dead woods. nothing in particular brings the monsters in each town together in unity like their focus on certain magical studies does on mixing pot. most of these monsters are generally independent, hence living in isolated communities :
>> ghost woods
this town resides in the 'dead woods' previously mentioned. they are called such because all the trees bear no leaves ever and once a year bloom with blood-red dripping flowers that produce a most succulent sweet fruit. on occasional nights of the full moon, one might hear the howling of a wolf but no animals live in this forest. the only thing existing in it is the small ghost town in the center where a group of dark-hearted and gloomy monsters reside.
if two colors can describe this place, it is dark brown and grey. even the soil procures the looks of something decayed while the trees remain an indifferent and unsuspecting loom. it occasionally rains.
>> mole
while traveling through the ice lands, one might wonder if anything resides here considering all one can see is blistering hail and ice everywhere. but if one is lucky enough to find it before dying of frostbite and cold, there is a single opening to a cavern that leads underground into icy tunnels which will eventually lead you to this town. it is named mole, after the large frosty mole that dug all the tunnels.
not much is known about it at the moment other than this.
>> dagger city
it is a town living on the cliffs of the perilous rock mountains. it was named dagger because of the ominous pit below the city on a cliff, which is literally a valley of protruding spikes of hard rock. the town is filled with various characters looking for their 'big break', many of the thievery trade or what might be labeled under the black market. it is said that if one can find away down to the pit, there are countless jewels to be found if one can break the unbreakable rock which has a dark grey granite texture. however, it is guarded by a scaly creature.
those are only the rumors though, few have dared to attempt this most unwelcoming task.
>> paris
don't ask how this town came across the name 'paris', it's information written on very old documents. and this is perhaps the oldest town of all on this planet.
it is the town of the 'magical' snow forest, magical because the entire aura of the place gives off this remarkable peaceful feeling and as though anything could happen of the miracle sorts. however if you stay too long here and are not originally from here, you may begin to feel strange and not like yourself.
the snow that falls here is always very soft, and it falls often. they have a lot of specials here, all relating to snow. things like snowberries, snow wars, snow theater and whatever else you can think of, they most likely have.
more to come soon
