Yo, thanks for stopping by! I’m Hero, a 30+ year old artist from the tropical swamp of central Florida, now living in the flower filled plains of northeast Texas.I have a strong passion for characters, designs, and silly scenarios, much more than the actual drawing process. I would create simple drawings of my ideas in my youth since I wanted my ideas visual, but began to draw art more seriously in late 2011.Some of my interests include evolution of life, prehistoric life (Dinosaurs and anything that came before or after!) Nature, plushies, stars and space, 1990-2000's nostalgia, gardening, and more!I'm not really a video game player, but I do actively play Spyro (Mostly PS1 and Reignited) And Pokémon (Mostly gen 1-3) I also play Pokémon romhacks that include the newer Pokémon!
General
This universe has been revamped many times and is currently pending a new name to fit its current idea! Despite some of the characters being fairly "cute" or innocent, this story is meant for an older audience and may contain themes not suitable for everyone including: Substances, sexual content, dark themes, and gore.It takes place in a big galaxy, primarily run by the antagonist; Queen Andromeda. Our main character is Astra, a small mammal alien who finds herself on the run and finds refuge on Earh, although that doesn't last too long either. On earth, Astra meets Thera, a drake with a shadowed past. This unlikely duo are connected by a delecate thread as Thera is untrusting and avoidant and Astra is loyal who dislikes being alone, with Thera as her first and only "friend" on earth. Thera finds herself entangled in Astra's mess and has no choice but to stick with her, although she tries to ditch her any chance she can. Now the two travel on earth, often finding themselves in very outlandish situations.
⋆⭒˚.⋆ Earth ⋆⭒˚.⋆
Earth is a recovered post-apocalypse setting, taking place in an unknown timeline; although the aesthetics and technology is very 1990s. Most mythical or fantasy creatures can be found here, like dragons, unicorns, mermaids, etc, living alongside humans. Places that were once populated by humans like large cities now belong to creatures, while humans live in scattered towns.When it comes to the rest of the galaxy, Earth is lesser known and exists near the outer edge of the galaxy.
⋆⭒˚.⋆ The Galaxy ⋆⭒˚.⋆
The galaxy is made up of different sectors labeled by color. Individuals closer to the center are known to have more powerful magic, which decreases in people the further out it goes. People without magic are native to the outer parts. Worlds are connected by a portal network run by the Celestials, as they are the only species in the galaxy powerful enough to create and open portals. Being a Celestial herself, Andromeda also has control over 40% of all the connected portals, sapping their resources, isolating them, or causing massive extinctions on these worlds unless they devote themselves to her. All worlds had become connected which formed the “Galactic Alliance Era” (GAE).Each world has a label to it depending on advancement and the life on it. City worlds, Kingdom worlds, Desolate worlds, Thriving worlds, and Entropy worlds. City worlds are self explanatory, they carry the most advanced technology in the galaxy. Kingdom Worlds have civilization but no technology. Thriving worlds are those with no civilization, but has thriving life. It could be only animals, or stone tool makers. Entropy worlds are those that have fallen to chaos, and are extremely unsafe especially for those who are not native. Desolate worlds are those who once had life, but have since become extinct. Desolate and Entropy worlds are often the doing of Queen Andromeda.It is a "dog eat dog" existence in this galaxy, often times literally. Larger species tend to see smaller individuals as a delicacy, which leaves the smaller folks more oppressed and vulnerable by these predators.
⋆⭒˚.⋆ Magic ⋆⭒˚.⋆
Not everyone is capable of using magic (For example, humans,) no matter how hard they study spells. Only those with the magic gene can use such power.Depending on the individual, powers can be a unique color regardless of the power itself (Green fire, orange lightning, etc). These colors represent the type of soul the user has.The most basic form of magic is harnessing an element, one per species such as dragons only having fire, and drakes only having wind. Babies of magic species have very underdeveloped power, which manifests into harmless little bubbles, which shifts as they age. Powers by default are not fatal regardless of what it is (Fire not being as hot as normal fire). Like physical strength and muscle, powers must be trained and exercised to reach their full potentialAlthough elemental power is the default magic power one can use, there are elements that are more rare and powerful than the rest; Light and Darkness. Light being a very extreme power of fire, and darkness being a very extreme power of ice. With proper training, these powers can manipulate the environment to a deadly degree, sometimes taking years for said environment to recover from.
⋆⭒˚.⋆ Soul Types ⋆⭒˚.⋆
Each soul is categorized by color and reflects the user's power color, and are often associated with stereotypical personality traits. The colors and types are:

⋆⭒˚.⋆ The Gods ⋆⭒˚.⋆
There are many gods scattered around the galaxy, but the main two represent life itself. Serenity represents all the good things in life. "Life finds a way", birth, pleasures, tranquility, anything that keeps one going. And there is Malevor, who represents the darker parts of life that is shunned by mortals, but is necessary; death, extinction, sickness, decay. The two create the circle of life.The pair are capable of reincarnating themselves into a randomly selected mortal species, where they lose their memories and power of their divine selves. Their purpose in this mortal form is to bring forth another god. Serenity brings in a "New world demigod" while Malevor brings an "Old world demigod". Or in other words, The "seven heavenly virtues" and the "Seven deadly sins".The demigods are born with abilities unique only to them. And if they are lucky can live for millions of years, like Queen Andromeda. The demigods typically reside at the core of the Galaxy, unreachable to the average mortal. Some among them, driven by an insatiable hunger for dominion, stake claims over entire worlds like celestial chess pieces in a grand cosmic game. When a demigod is killed, their divine parent reincarnates anew and the cycle starts again.
⋆⭒˚.⋆ The Pygnis + Esti's story ⋆⭒˚.⋆
Pygnis are small, female only, bipedal hornless unicorns who are hidden on a world close to the center of the galaxy. Their world radiates with magic, and is run by Queen Andromeda. Unlike the rest of the galaxy, Andromeda adores the Pygnis, and has built a relationship with, and has molded the species spanning thousands, if not millions of years back. Andromeda is deeply engraved into the species development that they have formed a one sided dependent relationship with her for food, protection, and even to reproduce. Pygnis reproduce by parthenogenesis, but it is triggered by a combination of Andromeda's deep rumbles and pheromones. They can also reproduce from sexual stimulation, but this is not often preformed. They are also capable of producing children with a male of different species, but this is also not often done.Pygnis are very helpless and are incapable of providing for themselves. Andromeda knows they are an exploitable weakness for her if known by her enemies, and keeps them a secret from the rest of the universe. They are only known about by Andromeda herself, and her closest followers; including Cynder and the Moondra species who also help care for the little creatures.Despite having a whole world, Andromeda keeps the Pygnis behind a walled in territory expanding miles across. The walls are meant to protect them from outside predators, and where she can keep a watchful eye on her pets. Her castle is located at the heart of this territory where she holds events and festivals for them.
Esti's story is a prequel to the main one with Astra and Thera. She is the mother of Astra.Aside from the Pygni people, Andromeda has another obsession. Which is one of the Life deities, specifically; Serenity. Andromeda has had a long time fascination with her. One could say, Andromeda was madly in love with the deity; so much so that she would seek her out while in mortal form. Andromeda would go out of her way to slaughter the new world demigods just to get Serenity to reincarnate into mortal form and find her. But by the time Andromeda knows her location, she had already passed on. All she could do was collect Serenity's personal items and create a massive shrine.And then one day, there was a Pygni. A Pygni who was different from all the rest. It was her. It was Serenity. But in this mortal form, she was known as Esti.Esti lives a fairly normal life. She has an overprotective mother who tries to lock her away at home due to her bad experiences from the outside world. Esti however is a free spirit who wants to see and experience the life she is oblivious of creating. Esti is good with making friends as people experience an intoxicating bliss in her presence. One day, Esti meets a Pygni named Cyndi, who is an "oddball", just like her, and the two hit it off and bond. However, this friendship would bring a drastic change to Esti's life...This friend happens to be the shapeshifter, Cynder, who sought to befriend Esti intentionally. Cyndi is a vampire, and has gained Esti's trust to feed off her blood. With Cyndi's bites causing drowsiness and weakness, Esti ends up not knowing that Cyndi is a parasite. This parasitic relationship then unexpectedly becomes something more, as both begin to develop romantic feelings for the other.Before this relationship could become official, Esti is discovered to be Serenity. Andromeda ruins any opportunity for the two to end up together, as Serenity has been her thousands of years long love and she is finally able to meet her after so long.
My fanonverse is a for fun hobby project based on my childhood fantasies; some of my all time favorite characters meeting each other, becoming friends, working as a team, and general shenanigans of having to deal with each other.It primarily follows Spyro, as he meets and befriends varies characters from different worlds (Based on classic CN + nicktoons mostly, as this was the era where the original idea started in. But maybe modern characters will show up!)The main stars of Realms Beyond is Spyro (Ps1 version), The Teen Titans (2003), CatDog, Beetlejuice (animated), and Samurai Jack. Other characters will also appear, such as Danny Phantom, The Powerpuff Girls, and more!Please keep in mind that my own interpretation of the characters will be sprinkled in. I want to keep the characters as true to themselves as possible, while also adding my own little personal twists to them. This doesn’t mean I believe it be better than canon in any way! It is purely for fun, and my own enjoyment and if others disagree with my ideas it’s totally okay!And lastly what you can expect is:Some characters will be aged up, by 1-6 years depending. This puts a majority of the characters in their early-mid twenties, with Spyro being a teen.I’m not a big ship person, so I don’t plan on shipping any characters with each otherAnd since people associate "aging up" with specific things, there won’t be any characters being sexual or suggestive in any manner.Mild languageMild blood
