Main objective

Build three connected worlds together:

1. A fantasy world(Name TBD) that runs on magic.

2. A sci-fi world (Yokea) that runs on physics.

3. A merged world(Name TBD) where the two have collided and now coexist.

Both worlds used to be one. They split apart, and now they are coming back together. The merge threatens to destroy both of them. Our job as a club is to build each world deeply enough that we can tell the main story: the merge, and the people caught in it.

Cosmology

The universe consists of two worlds with different fundamental laws.

The two worlds share a common origin, so their fundamental particles and forces are broadly similar. Because the split was relatively recent on a cosmological scale, the particles of each world can still interact with those of the other.

Beyond these two worlds lie other realms, which are distant and unconnected. These two worlds are unusual because they sit close together, a consequence of having once been one.

History

The original world

(not confirmed It can be changed) Before the split there was a single world. It held both magic and physical law, and it was ruled by a family of gods. Humans and many ordinary animals already lived there at that time.

The split

(not confirmed It can be changed) A conflict among the ruling gods split the world in two. According to the most widespread account, the science god left and took physical law with him, which created the sci-fi world. The world that remained, the fantasy world, had no physics of its own and came to sustain itself entirely through magic.

Anything that existed before the split, including humans, retained its nature in both worlds. Anything that arose afterward is native to only one. Elves, for example, are a product of magic and have no counterpart in the sci-fi world.

Divergence

(not confirmed It can be changed) After the split, the two worlds developed independently. The sci-fi world became a galaxy of space-faring civilizations, empires and corporations. The fantasy world developed its own peoples, kingdoms and magical traditions.

The merge

In the present era, the two worlds are drifting back toward each other. The merge is a gradual process, not a single event. Its effects include:

• Glimpses of the other world becoming visible

• Portals opening where the worlds come into contact

• Aether leakage from the fantasy world into the sci-fi world

The merge is expected to end with the two worlds fully combined into one sci-fi and fantasy world.

Inhabitants

• Humans

• Ordinary animals

• Magical beings

• Alien species

Religion and the gods

The gods of the original world are, by most accounts, real, but they are not omnipotent. They are described as an extremely powerful race, not as transcendent beings, and they rarely intervene in mortal affairs. Within either world, there is no definitive proof of their existence. Different cultures worship different gods, and some of the gods that are worshipped may not exist at all. [this is still discussed though]

The Spacefarer's Intragalactic Commerce Guild (SICG) is a major galactic organization consisting of many megacorporations. It acts as both a quasi-political and commercial entity.

The SICG is a part of the United Nexus Federation.

The Guild is notable for its role in the blockade of Prax (PRX1130).

Internal Organization

The SICG is made up of many member corporations, which are contained in the Corporate Assembly. Each member corporation is entitled to two Corporate Representatives, who sit for Corporate Assemblies and determine how a member corporation's votes should be divided. The number of votes a member corporation is entitled to is determined by the member corporation's contributions to the Guild. (What a contribution is and how much a certain contribution is worth is rigorously defined in the Guild Charter)

In addition to the Corporate Assembly, there is a Premium Assembly, made up of member corporations that make contributions above a certain threshold. Each corporation in the Premium Assembly is entitled to two Premium Representatives, who each receive one Premium vote (two total per corporation) on matters before the Premium Assembly.

The Premium Assembly is headed by the Guild Office, which is led by the Guild Chairman. The Guild Chairman is an office elected by the Premium Assembly.

Obligations of Membership

While a variety of obligations are imposed on member corporations at a given time, almost every obligation is determined by a proposition that originates from the Premium Assembly.

Only two obligations are written into the Guild Charter and cannot be changed (excepting some political shenanigans).

1. Defense Obligation

   1. All member corporations must make a minimum contribution to the SICG's defense fund, which goes toward the SICG's Guild Defense Force.

2. Mutual Alliance

   1. All member corporations may not go to war against any other Guild member. Violating the Mutual Alliance clause results in expulsion from the Guild.

In order to maintain membership in the SICG, a corporation must meet all obligations.

This is a list of important characters that people have made in Yokea or the Fantasy universe.

Otto Brown is a human who was employed by the Spacefarer's Intragalactic Commerce Guild as a chemist to work on an Expeditionary Research Facility on Prax.

Radicalized by what he saw, he assisted the Revolutionary Unions by turning on the SICG and producing bombs and other munitions for the revolutionary effort. Brown was later captured and imprisoned by the SICG.

Due to his expertise and status as a prisoner, Brown was an ideal candidate for the unpopular expeditions into the various rifts that had opened across the galaxy. Brown agreed to go on the missions on the condition that the SICG would lift their blockade on Prax upon his success.

This is a list of minor or side characters that people have made in Yokea or the Fantasy universe.

Dana Lincoln and Leah Miller are human inhabitants of Prax, living on PWF-E 752, or The Big 52.

Dana is employed as a Union Forewoman, leading a small crew on The Big 52. She tends to have a happy, cheerful personality. Dana believes in making the best of any situation.

Leah, a Union Worker, is pessimistic and tends to be sour in personality. Her attitude is typical among the inhabitants of Prax.
