Here’s a question for y’all.
When you make up stories about your MC’s (just generally not specifically OLNF), do you ever add world elements that aren’t there originally? And if so, what?
For example, I like to think that Lovecraftian (eldritch) horrors exists in my OLNF MC’s world.
Please tell me I’m not the only weird person who does this.
YOURE NOT ALONE BRUH 🙏🙏🙏
Runie’s world is directly connected to the bigger lore I have regarding his existence (like the fact that hes a fragment of some guy who scattered himself into many MANY parts)
It makes for fun visual novel MC ideas honestly because I can just say theyre also fragments LOL
also would love to know how your eldritch horrors live in your OLNF verse plspls
I think of my MC’s as fragments as well. But as fragments of myself. I take one part of my Personality and crank it up to eleven to make that aspect predominant for the character. At some point I’ll probably make all of these character fragments in ONLF.
As for the Eldritch, they’re usually reclusive, not wanting to be seen by humans. Some are always there watching from the shadows, some live in seclusion and cause strange phenomenon in the area. Oh, there’s also the normal Lovecraftian monsters as well as the “Other Gods” like Cthulhu or Nyarlathotep,
Your OLNF verse sounds very fun to live in, if I don't have absolute dog-shite luck and accidentally see an eldritch abomination- We could perhaps go sight seeing to see these monsters hehe >:D
(also a bit of a tangent)
Runie's case is a bit special though (im not gonna bore you with the lore because even I got confused about what I wrote TT) But basically genius mage dude die, shatters himself into loads of pieces, each fragment gets a blessing of his intelligence (how Runie got his unnatural super strength) and every visual novel MC that I created are connected to each other because of the fact that they're fragments of a shared consciousness.
but anyways, I would like to see more of your OLNF verse. I can see it has potential themes for horror and I love it :3
I CANT SPILL ANYTHING BECAUSE I GOT CONFUSED W MY OWN LORE TOO 😭😭
LIKE THE VERY HORRIBLE SUMMARY IS JUST THIS:
Intelligent powerful mage blessed by moon goddess go die cos of peoples greed. Shatters soul so no one finds him.
Currently 16 known Fragments each blessed with weird friggin powers that are mostly a hindrance. Fragments are ranked in percentages (on how similar they are to the OG consciousness)
Runie is considered as the 29%. While my other MC in OLBA (Rico) is the 32%
The one with the highest percentage (89%) is Romeo (an original character not for a visual novel) because hes closer to the main consciousness’ og universe and has more similarities of him.
Etc etc things that need fleshing out because im embarrassed of what i wrote, its literally all scribbles to me-
And ,, thats where my notes stopped I believe, because I think I almost had a stroke 😭
I consider myself the inter Dimensional dad of every Oc i make Thus Making the choices i choose ,just the manifestation of my Voice just guiding them on what to do on that moment, so in a way i am an anomaly that is able to shake the very Existence of their world yet i choose to guide the little ones throughout their stories to their inevitable closure where i can finally pass to the next Timelines to guide
So they are the manifestation of your Being devided into many.
The sad part about my Vision is the fact that most My ocs are only tied by their universe if one exists in that timeline it's because each one of them is their independent unique person, thus making their encounter a case of a paradox state, but for OL1 it's Just Miss Pam and Lani adopting a different child than the one that was adopted in the prior timeline thus leaving their child from an another timeline to be adopted by somebody else and breaking my heart in the process
hmm… i don’t know if it counts but i make Golden Grove a little but bigger than it is described as (more shops, more buildings…) but not to the point it’s like a city of course. it’ll always keep being a town.
i also connected my olba mc with my olnf oc; they’re cousins by their mothers. (pamela, to be exact. cause while im p sure canonically the girl is just white, but in my universe she’s korean) Zae, my olba mc, is also blasian like kojo, but he’s ethnically from Ivory Coast (bio mom) and Indonesian (bio dad.)
other than that most of my other stuff (kojo being a shady butcher, partial fantasy/hybrid au (avian qiu, satyr tammy) and a recent au im fleshing out which involves the supernatural/ghosts and stuff) are all considered alternative universes to me.
Obviously, most of my mcs are based off of me, so i guess he’s a ‘fragment’ in some way or another like Runie lmao 🙏😼
Maybe i’d add some form of supernatural in my main au cause in step two kojo likes to go ghost hunting with my non-mcs and shit, but at the end of the day my added stuff is not really all that big 😞💔
I added folklore and faeries, basically they exist in the forest and the MCs keep the fact the folklore is real a secret into my MCs world, Haruki and Maeve exist in the same world as Maeve as the romance MC and Haruki lives in the neighborhood were Renee.
Also Maeve’s bio father has a bit of elven blood so in the MC universe she can interact more with the faeries and creatures.
and the group goes on adventures in the forests and interacts and learns ab the creatures they keep in a scrap book
this is canon divergent idk if it six oeltely canon yet
lol that’s it
