| The endless desert, known as Otherworld. Otherworld is an ancient land, that not many know about. The desert sand is pale, and all seems dead. The two suns that always sit on the horizon, Astron III and Astron IV, never seem to heat or lighten this realm. They are so extremely close, yet don't do much at all. These suns are wild looking, and blue. Their solar rays lash out at all times, making them look monstrous and alien-like. The sky above, however, is much different. Funnel-shaped and swirling constantly, the upward sky is a mixture of exotic colors and shapes. Some believe this leads to heaven. Otherworld itself is only a plane, flat with an endless void on the outer edges. Sometimes, when travelers of this realm look past the edge, they can see the outlining of what appears to be a whirlpool below the plane of Otherworld. Most believe this dark and dense whirlpool to be Hell itself. Otherworld is where humans go after they die. Their souls come here after death, where they find their way to the large city of Xerxes. Xerxes is a giant, broken down dome that houses the slums inside. This world is harsh, and believed to be a trial. If you pass the trial, you will go to Heaven. If you fail the trial, you are sent to Hell where you will become evil incarnate and tortured for your sins among your previous two lives. Most believe Otherworld to be a second chance to atone for your sins in your Earthly life. In Earth years, the setting would be in modern day. Since they are living, humans from Earth cannot reside in Otherworld. They will start to deteriorate and go straight to heaven or hell. The entire realm of Otherworld was once a paradise, before the Universe, Heaven or Hell were made. It was inhabited by the Cherub, who used ancient Hebrew as their language. Long ago before the Universe the Earthlings know was created, the Cherub lived in a Utopian society. This desert was endless, and had a bright and colorful feel to it. A feel of happiness. They were the only sentient beings living here, and there were no other realms in existence.. until a group of cherubim people created Hell. Their intentions were set to rid their perfect world of the wrongdoings of other cherub. This act was considered tyranny and treason by the rest of the society, so the cherubim leader banished the entire group, and their leader to the underworld. The majority of the society were so pleased that they used the power of fate and manipulation of life energy, known as chi to us, as a catalyst to create a Heaven. For the following billions of years, the three worlds set in peace. What none of them knew, however, was that they were all slowly ripping eachother apart. This fissure, or tear in space, resulted in the massive nuclear explosion the humans know as the big bang.. it created the universe. The following 13.7 billion years were hellish on the four worlds. Otherworld fell into catastrophe. The Utopia that the cherub once called home collapsed upon itself in all sorts of major areas around the desert, and the making of the universe tore otherworld to the point that it was no longer endless, but the world turned flat and the edges were the only entrance to Hell. The skies above housed the Heavens. The great city Xerxes was the only thing left standing because it was in the middle of the desert, though at the time Xerxes was called Zahav, the hebrew word for gold. It was the capital.. even though the world was twisted and fractured, Xerxes still stood but suffered major collapses. It fell into disrepair and ruin. Eventually, humans that died in the universal plane known as Earth were said to have risen from the sand of the great desert in Otherworld, and made their way to Xerxes to live. The demons of Hell and the angels of Heaven were always waging war using their pawns known as Hellbenders and Godsend. Their powers trace from the use of ki, spirit energy in both worlds. Ki is dominant on Earth but here, the chi is. |
