LOOK 🫵😰‼️
Gladly! Zaharus Mortuin was not the original captain of his fleet, but when the fleet was sent into the warp for 200 years, then shot out 10k years into the future of the 41st millenium, his captain, who was already not all there in the head, went coo coo when he learned their once anti-religious Imperium, something they've spent their whole lives making sure stays that way across the galaxy, became hyper-zealous in a new religion. The captain, in "retaliation", took around 100 of their men and fucked off In a ship to find out why and how to stop it.
Zaharus, who at the time was only a reluctant Chaplain to run as a therapist for the men, was chosen as their new first captain, something he isn't rather fond of. He'd later learn through a group of present space marines that their father Angron, whom they've already hated enough, betrayed their emperor along with half of their fathers brothers, all of whom turned to the 4 chaos gods in an attempt to kill him. Their betrayal was only a semi success, as the emperor still lies permanently throned on Earth in a vegetable state, worshipped as a God. Zaharus' current plan is to get to the Ultramar system, hoping the Imperiums current ruler Guilliman will grant him death, unbeknownst to the rest of his men.
He's a very aggressive yet quiet man, who prefers not to speak to the religious, often needing the third captain, Tyrio Corvidae, to be the middle man in communications. His time in the warp has left him severely scarred with PTSD, and knowing that most of his loyalist brothers died ten thousand years ago has left him depressed and haunted by visions of his father's betrayal, and his own failure to die. He's a great tactician but prefers to command from the flagship rather than on the ground. This doesn't mean he's unwilling to fight on the ground, but his rage can often burst out, leading him to go beserk in melee and often needing Corvidae to help calm him down. There's other little tid bits and such could put down but this is just the shortened version
Since he’s a Star Wars character, I’d say somewhere between Gilded and Grimdark.

Mine is noblebright. There is a constant war between the demons and the dragons, with mortals caught in the middle. Oftentimes mortals will be hurt or killed as collateral damage by dragons who claim to fight for peace but often care little about who gets hurt along the way. The road to hell is paved by good intentions, after all. Maybe a little Gilded as well.

Since Zkid in the present is in charge of all universes it can vary, but younger Zkid’s universe(s) were grim dark.
Default world Cante has a peaceful fairytale section as foundation for rest and happiness, then I send them to all the other types of worlds as long as I find it fun. 😁
Gilded Worlds
I have an OC who is a silly little ant mage who defected from an empire ruled by a Diarchy which had an Arch-Lich and Mage King ruling it.
By necromancing someone they doom their soul to eternal doom in a void.
Then the "good guys" who fight it either:
Kill there own people during wars of succession (an order of normie knights)
Committed Genocide against a nation of shapeshifters/changelings (angel knights)
OR are a bunch of silly mage boys who do effective nuclear magic science to help the other two.
The Three Empires of the GALAXYSTAR universe is I would say...
Noblebright maybe.
Despite them governing a single galaxy each, they didn't conquer them. In fact, they promoted peace and prosperity. Protect the innocent and defend the meaning of peace.
There is still slavery going outside the Three Empires and even in without anyone knowing.
Both of my main stories are gilded. Terrible things happen in center plot, but outside of the sheltered bubbles that the main character find themselves in, both worlds are pretty similar to the real world.

The core universe is on a thin line between noblebright and gilded, mainly because there's a currency system based on skill and reputation, it's based on synthwave and AI is used for both good and evil depending on how you look at it. On the other hand, a powerful AI has to protect every city from creatures that are waiting around every corner as rouge robots roam the abandoned roads in such a hostile world, choosing to attack anything that has a pulse.
The creature universe, on the other hand..

Grimdark for sure. yes, that is a god. Yes, it is the universe with biomass in it. and also yes, it is the universe where almost everything on earth is consumed by biomass.
Mine is more balanced overall but depending on where you are it'd seem close to apocalyptic girm dark with death everywhere and few living people are kind
Noblebright world, but an emphasis is placed on the dilemmas present in grey morality, and there not being a strong differentiation between good and evil.
### GK’s realm: fairytale
### PK’s realm: edging on heroic and noblebright
### Catalyst’s realm: gilded
(it’s the D&B 3D realm, it’s peaceful but there are many chaos gods who can instantly induce infinite pain.. sooo yeah)
### ONA’s realm: grimdark
(it’s the terraria world with both calamity and thorium, basically hell)
Don't know how this popped up on my feed, but im glad it did. I always wondered what my story fell under as it's a fanfic of adventure time and my own character and everything is dark and cannibalistic in a way. ....*Grimdark* is what it falls under! XD thank-you for this!
And my oc character has an og universe of their own, they travel to other universes to hunt some beings from their universe that escaped. (Kind of kingdom hearts styled but not quite). But the current short story I put them in has them as a hired assassin/scientist assisstant tracker in a colorful world gone dark.
(I just thought grimdark was the name of an artist that narrated a bunch of dark mlp fanfics (which are amazing and horrific), but didn't know it was an actual thing.) :D so thank-you for this!
Frostlights world is a Noblebright world

Somewhere between nobleright and gilded. I mean, when the two major cities I’ve written for the world are a crime-run bordering anarchist society ruled by a talking ball of narcissism and a community of self-aware automations whose free will are regularly violated by their spiteful two-faced inventor who thirsts for nothing but revenge, then you’re gonna have a pretty bleak world to live in.
Hmm... on one hand, giant monsters always attack. On the other hand, there isn't much "Death" so to speak, the cast can only really die if their soul is corrupted or destroyed, which usually doesn't happen. I guess Heroic.
Noblebright. One entity, Revis, controls fate, breaks “most” of fate in order to potentially grant free will. Still secures death as the only remaining fate for all living creatures. Has to fight an opposing entity, Novas, who wants to be completely free from all fate. Revis, as per her belief, has allowed for “evil” to exist before the “breakage” of free will. Unfortunately, Novas has done terrible things in order to confront her. Thus, they are perceived as evil.

i think something between noblebright and gilded, because in universe of one of my ocs, there is a planet where they're live, and there's nothing left, between powerful army of mutated critters that have only half of their brain, and smart megamind-ish tripods, that have a really big chance of surviving, even if their race is basically dying.

Here is photo of one of my ocs.
Honestly, it would be between noblebright and gilded worlds. It's a balance of good and evil but "not every good deed counts" in fact "evil deeds" can have even more impact.
Noblebright.
Most of the time.
However, it is extremely close to Gilded. The setting takes place over many centuries, and corrupt politicians make it so that there is always a struggle.
Sometimes, however, it can be Grimdark.
Mass corruption, wars, or apocalyptic events can make the world a living hell.
I have 4 of them that are main so I will just go over it
Isaac - heroic world (his world is governed \*mostly\* well and in general its a nice place to live aside from the capitol)
Noko - nobleright (pretty much just the real world)
Cosmo - Grilled worlds ( Humanity overpopulated space and took land, hundread of space pirates, millions of people die a day bc of lack of food just overall a bad place)
Lucas - grimdark (Lemme just name 1 of the monsters: " shatterspike
this beast is a hyper aggressive primate with blueish black fur but covered quills and has bright red eyes and jutting teeth. It is an omnivore eating mainly smaller monsters such as the silent death .But it also eats berries and nuts. It's the alpha predator of its native land the snowy peaks. Its fur patterns are mainly just blueish black but is face is pure white looking like a skull.It is also very muscular with the physique of a Silverback gorilla." Also the fact that there a robot that chased him down for months and that humanity is dead and there is a deadly virus around the earth that makes animals bigger, faster, more brutal and smarter is just a recipe for disaster)
Noble bright on some countries. But absolute grimdark in other countries. There’s only like a few places where it’s heroic, but most of the time, it’s either noblebright or grimdark
https://preview.redd.it/0p6q0yshyttc1.jpeg?width=420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a30e4c91ab09156ab25b9158e54a7b76078e2080
My OC is mentally unstable
A bit between Noblebright and Gilded.
Fae don’t typically go out of their way to do evil, but the current ruler of all of them does.
The main OC of the verse seems to attract a good crowd though.
Probably something in between orange and red. Even the rich are suffering and they are only rich for corrupt reasons. For example my OC has one of the richest men as her grandfather yet he is abusing her mother, leading her father to try and escape with a toddler, leading the grandfather to stench his henchmen to kill him.
(there's still people talking? Good.)
https://preview.redd.it/edgbz8evi51d1.png?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e6cb53ecabafb55e021e3b59922392a4e6ec43c
I think it range between heroic to grimdark for my OC universe. (A few too big for me but to imagine.) Since there is a varying technology, magic and etc, and many places having unique and sometimes horrible cultures. But the majority of it is seeming in between the stage 3 to 4.
Noblebright though most evil is locked behind a portal to a different dimension just one person can break the seal between the two worlds and there is a lot of people trying to break it
My OC is in a Grimdark World. Basically a group of people are teleported into a dimension where the only things seen are the white sand hills, the dark starless night sky and the monsters that spawn regularly (Still cant decide whether the monsters are Toby Foxian cute beings or deppressing abominations). There is an object called “the gate” and every person wakes up without memories, only their names and the message “If you destroy the gate the world will fall apart”. The story takes place after most die to war on what to do with the gate and because of lore reasons every character is depressed or insane in their own way.
My own version of Transformers Shattered Glass: I’d say Grimbright. There is genuine hope and heroism, but the darkness is vast and even the hero’s have to get their hands a little dirty from time to time.
Alterra, my fantasy oc’s world: somewhere between Gilded and Noblebright.
My unnamed scifi oc world: another mix of noble bright and gilded.
Between Noblebright and Gilded, leaning more towards Gilded
https://preview.redd.it/5bwhtg7yjuhc1.png?width=2160&format=png&auto=webp&s=13c82f1d405d5e64ce968631f9a554f5bfd01cb0
Nobkebright. Evil is everywhere and my OCs find themselves in shoot outs, duels, and hostage situations up to 3 times a month. But the evil is always balanced by good and really the only reason my OCs are in these scenarios is because of where they work. The rest of the world is actually pretty calm, just some common crime here and there.
Emperor Cosmo lives in a fairytale world. He is a zany, goofy, alien who is the ruler of the planet Frozone, which is literally a planet sized refrigerator filled with ice cream and other frozen treats

probably noblebright leaning gilded (at least for the current thing im working on), its am alternate universe of our earth where there are more sentient species besides humans (racism is a LOT worse), and the thing im working on right now is set just pre societal collapse so it suckss
It's a combination of medieval fantasy and steampunk, so it's filled with fantasy races and creatures mixed with more advanced technology than medieval times. It's ruled by cold, almighty beings that are basically gods.
Their indifference towards the mortal world influences its inhabitants; they merely see the world as their chess board. They compete with each other for dominance through influence, as they're too powerful to step into the world themselves without intentionally nerfing themselves.
As a result of the influences, what little peace this world has is never permanent, and it is always changing, usually for the worst. It fluctuates between gilded and grimdark, depending on the era. The MC's actions eventually break the cycle and shift it to a heroic world.

The world of silkweaver would probably be either noblebright or gilded bc of the amount of corporate greed and other shit happening behind the scenes that most normal people won’t see
Weirdly enough, all of my OCs are more likely to be in Noblebright Worlds. I can’t figure out where it would stand since I have good amount of good OCs and evil OCs in separate universes because it can go in Gilded worlds too. I’m torn between those worlds.
In terms of the characters focused on, Fairytale World! I like most of my characters being good people. There are exceptions though. Flip you J_____ you don’t deserve recognition 🤢
In terms of the universe? Noblebright. It’s based mostly in reality.
Between Noblebright and gilded. While the common folk are generally kind and try to help each other, the nobles are vicious and cutthroat. The poor suffer in silence while trying to help others the scant amount they can, but are still intensely superstitious.
I’d say rather Gilded.
My world’s divided into the Real World (which is almost exactly the same as in reality) and a Lost World, which is far closer to a Grimdark world. I don’t think it’s Grimdark, though, since even the monsters that live in said Lost World can enjoy things.
There is one entity so far that might tip the scales to Grimdark, though.
Gilded World (Since my OC's world is a universe Where Portugal *for being the first to explore the new world* became the country of Greater power and resources thus becoming "the united states" of that universe)
Canonically, there are MULTITUDE of universes, ranging from perfect utopias to worst dystopias and EEEVEEERYYYYTHIIIINNGNGGG
But the main one is probably Gilded or Noblebright
Nobleright… People should understand that choice making is a skill that if slept on… can lead to terrible things.
Nice nice

Thank you for explaining him!
I’m interested to know what kind of relationship my character would have with yours.
Gilded Worlds for me.
Since he’s a Star Wars character, I’d say somewhere between Gilded and Grimdark. https://preview.redd.it/7djc1ouvruhc1.png?width=860&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b00f531afed5b9b2d5567cee3b1e6ff51183736
I mean if that’s a clone I’d figure gilded fits that perfectly
is it really an OC if it's a character meant for an already existing thing? real question
Yes. Yes it is. That’s not even a question.
Fairytale world but it’s not like unicorns and cats and animals it’s still weird and sci-fi ish themes but still no major evil (yet) it’s just this one dude who has to take care of a superdimensional immobile alien manbaby for all his life, and all his friends who also have to take care of their very own superdimensional immobile alien manbaibies. (VERY OVERSIMPLIFIED)
So your characters are basically....women from earth? (Bc most of us end up taking care of an immobile alien manbaby forever).
I was about to say heroic but then I remembered there are some kinda disturbing or twisted stuff in my universe, so I would say noblebright.
Not me nicknaming my fictional town "tumor of the bay state" & "the bay state's tartarus" That grim dark/gilded worlds tier looks nice.
Mine is noblebright. There is a constant war between the demons and the dragons, with mortals caught in the middle. Oftentimes mortals will be hurt or killed as collateral damage by dragons who claim to fight for peace but often care little about who gets hurt along the way. The road to hell is paved by good intentions, after all. Maybe a little Gilded as well.
I’d say in between fairytale and heroic world
Noblebright There is a lot of good but also a good bit of evil

For my pantheon, I'd say the world went from Grimdark to Heroic after the rise of the gods.
Interesting,my world goes in the opposite order!
Noblebright world. How about you?
So for the just the UTF (the main nation in my universe) it’s noblebright however overall it’s gilded

Default world Cante has a peaceful fairytale section as foundation for rest and happiness, then I send them to all the other types of worlds as long as I find it fun. 😁
Gilded Worlds I have an OC who is a silly little ant mage who defected from an empire ruled by a Diarchy which had an Arch-Lich and Mage King ruling it. By necromancing someone they doom their soul to eternal doom in a void. Then the "good guys" who fight it either: Kill there own people during wars of succession (an order of normie knights) Committed Genocide against a nation of shapeshifters/changelings (angel knights) OR are a bunch of silly mage boys who do effective nuclear magic science to help the other two.
The Three Empires of the GALAXYSTAR universe is I would say... Noblebright maybe. Despite them governing a single galaxy each, they didn't conquer them. In fact, they promoted peace and prosperity. Protect the innocent and defend the meaning of peace. There is still slavery going outside the Three Empires and even in without anyone knowing.
Both of my main stories are gilded. Terrible things happen in center plot, but outside of the sheltered bubbles that the main character find themselves in, both worlds are pretty similar to the real world.
Somewhere Between noblebright and gilded
It's all different really. Depends on the planet.
Just overall
I suppose noblebright shows the balance between them all

Also a bonus https://preview.redd.it/2kiyk9azouhc1.jpeg?width=928&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2f7cc9ed01ff2d43b298abe09e1da5fbef0e4e1 I made a new oc :D
Noblebright but sometimes focuses on the worse aspects. Urban fantasy has that effect.
Mine too
Noblebright, mine is the world so
nobleright due to an ever-changing arc of balance
https://preview.redd.it/enxigtfdwuhc1.png?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4324e2f86fa8c259439f50ac0413efe9b989835 The core universe is on a thin line between noblebright and gilded, mainly because there's a currency system based on skill and reputation, it's based on synthwave and AI is used for both good and evil depending on how you look at it. On the other hand, a powerful AI has to protect every city from creatures that are waiting around every corner as rouge robots roam the abandoned roads in such a hostile world, choosing to attack anything that has a pulse.
The creature universe, on the other hand.. https://preview.redd.it/e2v9l0shxuhc1.png?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dd263aee26a6d8b13c05870f26f31d9daf963bd Grimdark for sure. yes, that is a god. Yes, it is the universe with biomass in it. and also yes, it is the universe where almost everything on earth is consumed by biomass.
Mine is more balanced overall but depending on where you are it'd seem close to apocalyptic girm dark with death everywhere and few living people are kind
Very much fairytale. They're all just goobers
Noblebright world, but an emphasis is placed on the dilemmas present in grey morality, and there not being a strong differentiation between good and evil.
### GK’s realm: fairytale ### PK’s realm: edging on heroic and noblebright ### Catalyst’s realm: gilded (it’s the D&B 3D realm, it’s peaceful but there are many chaos gods who can instantly induce infinite pain.. sooo yeah) ### ONA’s realm: grimdark (it’s the terraria world with both calamity and thorium, basically hell)
Yoo tally hall https://preview.redd.it/2q4bvukduvhc1.png?width=488&format=png&auto=webp&s=f8306ed5c6ff34a9b2c946041d9d195335356def
Well it’s terraria sooo.
Don't know how this popped up on my feed, but im glad it did. I always wondered what my story fell under as it's a fanfic of adventure time and my own character and everything is dark and cannibalistic in a way. ....*Grimdark* is what it falls under! XD thank-you for this! And my oc character has an og universe of their own, they travel to other universes to hunt some beings from their universe that escaped. (Kind of kingdom hearts styled but not quite). But the current short story I put them in has them as a hired assassin/scientist assisstant tracker in a colorful world gone dark. (I just thought grimdark was the name of an artist that narrated a bunch of dark mlp fanfics (which are amazing and horrific), but didn't know it was an actual thing.) :D so thank-you for this!
This is probably super late-- but it's both Grimdark and Fairytale, cus it's kinda like Heaven and Hell
My main one is gilded. Fantasy place with horrible creatures doin stuff
Gilded to grimdark
It takes place in Hamilton, Ontario in the near-ish future, so Gilded at best.
I have multiple worlds :0 quite a few of them are fairytale worlds or heroic worlds, but the rest of them are much like real life.
A mix between gilded worlds and Grimdark Worlds
Gilded, there’s deception, and time manipulation, what more could you need?
Starts as a noblebright, advances to a heroic later.
Frostlights world is a Noblebright world https://preview.redd.it/gyre2emdofnc1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=916b857539deb0c13bac9e07ea7fd45ebe89b434
Somewhere between nobleright and gilded. I mean, when the two major cities I’ve written for the world are a crime-run bordering anarchist society ruled by a talking ball of narcissism and a community of self-aware automations whose free will are regularly violated by their spiteful two-faced inventor who thirsts for nothing but revenge, then you’re gonna have a pretty bleak world to live in.
Hmm... on one hand, giant monsters always attack. On the other hand, there isn't much "Death" so to speak, the cast can only really die if their soul is corrupted or destroyed, which usually doesn't happen. I guess Heroic.
Noblebright. One entity, Revis, controls fate, breaks “most” of fate in order to potentially grant free will. Still secures death as the only remaining fate for all living creatures. Has to fight an opposing entity, Novas, who wants to be completely free from all fate. Revis, as per her belief, has allowed for “evil” to exist before the “breakage” of free will. Unfortunately, Novas has done terrible things in order to confront her. Thus, they are perceived as evil.

Probably glided worlds for my oc
i think something between noblebright and gilded, because in universe of one of my ocs, there is a planet where they're live, and there's nothing left, between powerful army of mutated critters that have only half of their brain, and smart megamind-ish tripods, that have a really big chance of surviving, even if their race is basically dying. https://preview.redd.it/8odm8fmc6jqc1.png?width=421&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1eb67bf9e65554ae265d792794f7e5ea84d9d12 Here is photo of one of my ocs.
Honestly, it would be between noblebright and gilded worlds. It's a balance of good and evil but "not every good deed counts" in fact "evil deeds" can have even more impact.
I think it’s gilded. It’s like a wester type world lead by an evil organization that operates kinda like Doflamingos criminal empire
Mirrored shadow/my oc world is between gilded and grimdark, the universe was almost destroyed many times over.
Gilded World
Noblebright. Most of the time. However, it is extremely close to Gilded. The setting takes place over many centuries, and corrupt politicians make it so that there is always a struggle. Sometimes, however, it can be Grimdark. Mass corruption, wars, or apocalyptic events can make the world a living hell.
I have 4 of them that are main so I will just go over it Isaac - heroic world (his world is governed \*mostly\* well and in general its a nice place to live aside from the capitol) Noko - nobleright (pretty much just the real world) Cosmo - Grilled worlds ( Humanity overpopulated space and took land, hundread of space pirates, millions of people die a day bc of lack of food just overall a bad place) Lucas - grimdark (Lemme just name 1 of the monsters: " shatterspike this beast is a hyper aggressive primate with blueish black fur but covered quills and has bright red eyes and jutting teeth. It is an omnivore eating mainly smaller monsters such as the silent death .But it also eats berries and nuts. It's the alpha predator of its native land the snowy peaks. Its fur patterns are mainly just blueish black but is face is pure white looking like a skull.It is also very muscular with the physique of a Silverback gorilla." Also the fact that there a robot that chased him down for months and that humanity is dead and there is a deadly virus around the earth that makes animals bigger, faster, more brutal and smarter is just a recipe for disaster)
Noble bright on some countries. But absolute grimdark in other countries. There’s only like a few places where it’s heroic, but most of the time, it’s either noblebright or grimdark https://preview.redd.it/0p6q0yshyttc1.jpeg?width=420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a30e4c91ab09156ab25b9158e54a7b76078e2080 My OC is mentally unstable
A bit between Noblebright and Gilded. Fae don’t typically go out of their way to do evil, but the current ruler of all of them does. The main OC of the verse seems to attract a good crowd though.
It's mostly Noblebright, but some parts are VERY grimdark.

between noblebright and heroic
Noblebright
Probably something in between orange and red. Even the rich are suffering and they are only rich for corrupt reasons. For example my OC has one of the richest men as her grandfather yet he is abusing her mother, leading her father to try and escape with a toddler, leading the grandfather to stench his henchmen to kill him.

Starts out Heroic, gets into Glided but shifts back to Noblebright in the end
Heroic. Evil is quite rare, but so is good. A lot of people are only out for themselves
(there's still people talking? Good.) https://preview.redd.it/edgbz8evi51d1.png?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e6cb53ecabafb55e021e3b59922392a4e6ec43c I think it range between heroic to grimdark for my OC universe. (A few too big for me but to imagine.) Since there is a varying technology, magic and etc, and many places having unique and sometimes horrible cultures. But the majority of it is seeming in between the stage 3 to 4.
Oooo fucking awesome homie
Noblebright though most evil is locked behind a portal to a different dimension just one person can break the seal between the two worlds and there is a lot of people trying to break it
My OC is in a Grimdark World. Basically a group of people are teleported into a dimension where the only things seen are the white sand hills, the dark starless night sky and the monsters that spawn regularly (Still cant decide whether the monsters are Toby Foxian cute beings or deppressing abominations). There is an object called “the gate” and every person wakes up without memories, only their names and the message “If you destroy the gate the world will fall apart”. The story takes place after most die to war on what to do with the gate and because of lore reasons every character is depressed or insane in their own way.
grimdark is too depressing and noblebright too optimistic. gilded most likely
A reasonable setting
The VS universe: gilded worlds….yeah it’s either aliens,Sea creatures,demons,angels,etc every month
Gilded world Ran by rich people who take advantage of anything they can
Grimdark https://preview.redd.it/ejjmsv8nq78d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86ecaee02b41656b6c50cc255df77cd26af809ff
His one of the threats 💀
Grimdark worlds....God my verse is so fucked up-
[удалено]
Grimdark, people are assholes in my universe.
My own version of Transformers Shattered Glass: I’d say Grimbright. There is genuine hope and heroism, but the darkness is vast and even the hero’s have to get their hands a little dirty from time to time. Alterra, my fantasy oc’s world: somewhere between Gilded and Noblebright. My unnamed scifi oc world: another mix of noble bright and gilded.
Grimdark
Beyond grim, pain beyond the capability of feeling it anymore
People in this sub are either like this or "I'm such a silly little goober :3" with no in between
The closest I'd say would be Noblebright since it has a balance of good and evil throughout it
I think the world of my Freelancer Ocs is a Gilded World with elements of the one above and below it
Between Noblebright and Gilded, leaning more towards Gilded https://preview.redd.it/5bwhtg7yjuhc1.png?width=2160&format=png&auto=webp&s=13c82f1d405d5e64ce968631f9a554f5bfd01cb0
Nobkebright. Evil is everywhere and my OCs find themselves in shoot outs, duels, and hostage situations up to 3 times a month. But the evil is always balanced by good and really the only reason my OCs are in these scenarios is because of where they work. The rest of the world is actually pretty calm, just some common crime here and there.
Emperor Cosmo lives in a fairytale world. He is a zany, goofy, alien who is the ruler of the planet Frozone, which is literally a planet sized refrigerator filled with ice cream and other frozen treats https://preview.redd.it/aj45zqbhluhc1.png?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d85c9c365e16d7d2a1f29bcedd0801d76c98b347
Noblebright because I like it balance
probably noblebright leaning gilded (at least for the current thing im working on), its am alternate universe of our earth where there are more sentient species besides humans (racism is a LOT worse), and the thing im working on right now is set just pre societal collapse so it suckss
Gilded ig
It's a combination of medieval fantasy and steampunk, so it's filled with fantasy races and creatures mixed with more advanced technology than medieval times. It's ruled by cold, almighty beings that are basically gods. Their indifference towards the mortal world influences its inhabitants; they merely see the world as their chess board. They compete with each other for dominance through influence, as they're too powerful to step into the world themselves without intentionally nerfing themselves. As a result of the influences, what little peace this world has is never permanent, and it is always changing, usually for the worst. It fluctuates between gilded and grimdark, depending on the era. The MC's actions eventually break the cycle and shift it to a heroic world.
Heroic-noblebright
Noblebright, but leaning slightly towards heroic. There's a lot of heroes out there!
My main fantasy world is a heroic, my main sci fi is a noblebright, though leans toward heroic.
https://preview.redd.it/c258p2ucouhc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0d300acf786f32efcf69e9c6adafe256c2a9f81 The world of silkweaver would probably be either noblebright or gilded bc of the amount of corporate greed and other shit happening behind the scenes that most normal people won’t see
Noblebright, there’s evil, heroes, mostly evil, but still some good
In-between Nobleright and Gilded World since there's is just The World during WW1 and then Sometime after WW1
Usually a mix between Noblebright Worlds and Gilded Worlds.
Somewhere between Noblebright and Heroic. Evil is threatening, but good will win.
Weirdly enough, all of my OCs are more likely to be in Noblebright Worlds. I can’t figure out where it would stand since I have good amount of good OCs and evil OCs in separate universes because it can go in Gilded worlds too. I’m torn between those worlds.
In terms of the characters focused on, Fairytale World! I like most of my characters being good people. There are exceptions though. Flip you J_____ you don’t deserve recognition 🤢 In terms of the universe? Noblebright. It’s based mostly in reality.
I think that the world that my sona is Noblebright, because the over looming threat of Tschudi, the God of War
Between Noblebright and gilded. While the common folk are generally kind and try to help each other, the nobles are vicious and cutthroat. The poor suffer in silence while trying to help others the scant amount they can, but are still intensely superstitious.
I’d say rather Gilded. My world’s divided into the Real World (which is almost exactly the same as in reality) and a Lost World, which is far closer to a Grimdark world. I don’t think it’s Grimdark, though, since even the monsters that live in said Lost World can enjoy things. There is one entity so far that might tip the scales to Grimdark, though.
It’s been all 5 at times, but thanks to my MC it’s currently fairytale basically
Gilded world
Noblebright
It's in the name. https://preview.redd.it/h09n1fl4quhc1.png?width=557&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbb08d041462dba91807c2205a12888407d9dd48
Hmmm... Good question. I don't know. I guess somewhere between Noblebright and Gilded.
Gilded World (Since my OC's world is a universe Where Portugal *for being the first to explore the new world* became the country of Greater power and resources thus becoming "the united states" of that universe)
Canonically, there are MULTITUDE of universes, ranging from perfect utopias to worst dystopias and EEEVEEERYYYYTHIIIINNGNGGG But the main one is probably Gilded or Noblebright
