I have a question!

Is the entirety of Daros the current landmass we are on?

Dex could probably answer this but since he's not doing well I'll cover it.

Daros is universe-sized, or at least galaxy-sized. In every living being in Daros and every nonliving artifact etc. resides a soul, called a "Destraiti". Souls actually take the form of worlds if they have a long enough time to form. Sometimes you can actually travel inside of someone's Destraiti. For example, right now we're in the soul of an unspecified thing/being, but we know that it's at least controlled and overseen by a Horror (see the explanation some pages back).

For a good analogy, see the Disgaea games and their "item worlds".

[Dexexe1234]

that was mostly correct, though it didn't specify where we actually are.

The area that ACoS is taking place in is known as a "Treasure Dimension". Much like how souls can have worlds within them, these are pockets of space that reside in the Daros Universe but isn't directly connected to it. Imagine you are holding a balloon, and you pinch together on one end of it, making a tiny balloon connected to the larger one. That is how a Treasure Dimension is to Daros. The key difference from regular Daros and a Treasure Dimension is that the regular laws of Daros don't work inside a Treasure Dimension, but rather those often have their own laws though those are also often a reflection on darosian laws of nature.

This is actually pretty intricate, isn't it.

FUNFACT: Daros is human for "God of Light".

[Caellath]

Yeah, the Destraiti system reminded me of Disgaea item worlds when I first heard about them.

On top of all that, even though there are 105 gods, they aren't even the most powerful beings in Daros.

[Dexexe1234]

The reason FFS and Burkhart knows stuff about this world preemptively is because I have them on my steam chatrolls, and I like talking about my world...

[llamamiah]

Hm... I thought it was mentioned early on that ACoS was in a Destraiti. Oh well!

...Now I'm wondering if Destraiti are how the Item Worlds in Creation Thunders work. But, hm, if the 105 Gods aren't the most powerful, what are? :3

The deal is that what Cube says, can be wrong, or a lie. Why would you 100% trust the first thing that talked to you in a completely new world? It could be a leech, wanting to devour you later on.

Also, Creation Thunders, for most of it, happened OUTSIDE of Daros, in the world of Hephaestus. It was a fan-venture of Tam Lin's Hephaestus series, heck he made me change the name to Creation Thunders from Hephaestus Thunders because he wanted to keep the name.

Also why should I tell you what the more powerful things are? Thats part of the fun Not telling that is.

[llamamiah]

Ah, that thing about Cube is true. Also, I knew that it was originally Hephaestus Thunders (Hell, you inspired me to make my own Hephaestus fanadventure!), I just thought that it was part of Daros because it got merged with Mineral Caper.

Also, I know of the Humans, Traxl, Niimha, Nymphz, and Monochromes. What are some other races of Dexothrolium? :3

[Dexexe1234]

not getting into that, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many to start on that discussion.

[llamamiah]

:<

...Could you list like, 1 or 2 planets, and their environments?

EDIT: OK, Dex said that I could change my character. Here goes! :3

Spoiler: Just one more level... (click to show/hide)

Player Name: Your Username on this forum.
Character Name: Zac Giers
Race: Human
Class: Striker
Basic/Note Data: 5'8", 102 lbs., Black hoodie with green markings on the shoulders and chest, black jeans with green chains hanging from the beltloops. Has semi-long brown hair and hazel eyes.
Bio: A denizen of Upstate New York, Zac was an avid gamer with little money, leading him to internet piracy. When some jerkwad called the cops, he proceeded to make his own thrown explosives, steal a fireax, and join the GREN team. Nobody really knows what GREN stands for, but they were going up against the idiotic YELW team, which had members that you or I would see as "familiar".
Changing Scenery: Zac was going up against a legion of IRN robots, when a Shinobi struck him down without warning. Instead of respawning as usual, he appeared here.

Advanced
Abilities:

• CRAFTING: Zac can take items, and merge them together into new weapons.
• EXPLOSIVES EXPERT: Zac is eerily familiar with things that go boom, and can easily make explosives from household objects.
• FACE IN THE CROWD: Due to his generally average appearance, Zac becomes invisible when in large crowds.
• QUICK REFLEXES: Due to a lifetime of gaming, Zac has the ability to dodge things before most would even realize said things were there.
• IMPROBABLY USELESS RANDOM DROPS: Zac can randomly get items after defeating enemies. However, only 1/18 of these drops are remotely useful, and half of them are for use by the opposing team!
• CAFFEINE EXPERT: Zac knows his way around an energy drink, so the brewing of buff-providing over-caffeinated beverages is second nature to him.
• AXEMAN: Zac is noticeably proficient with axes, seeing as they were easy to 'acquire' from public buildings are around town. God dammit, needing an ax is a legitimate emergency!
• NO VACATION IS PAID: If Zac dies in Acos, he simply respawns back at The Guuyversion.

Is there some kind of tone-refund when a hero dies or gets chested? Otherwise the game will get progressively more unfair as people buy skills and abilities.

[Dexexe1234]

@Tack: They should ask Grim.

[llamamiah]

@Derm: It's a long story involving a short-lived TF2 roleplay thing. In other words, complete awesomeness. :3
