All of these are -pretty much part of the "larger picture" of my multiverse, some having been -around since 1997 when I first started writing stories. - -This file will be deleted once the currently undergoing lore refining is -complete, as it won't be needed afterwards. - ---- - -## Corporations - -### Akari Labs - -Founded in 2010 by child prodigy Saya Miyamoto. Akari Labs advertises itself -as "a fountain of innovation". A major part of the technology used at the time -comes from here, they were the first to kickstart FTL travel, along with safe -teleportation energy ("after the UAC first fucked it up", according to the -founder). The labs once faced controversy due to the failure of the army -funded "Red Oni" Supersoldier project (UnSX 4 backstory). Recently, they've -started the Demolitionist program in order to develop AI-driven combat bots to -defend Earth from invaders (SWWM GZ). - -Another main export of Akari Labs is their "Adopt a Maid-Bot" service. It is -entirely free, and guaranteed to provide the perfect maid for each person. From -energetic, workaholic maids that do their job without asking questions, to -tender, motherly maids who take special care of you and encourage you to -improve your lifestyle, that one being a very popular choice among NEETs. While -it's not something publicly advertised, the bots are also equipped for "love", -and miss Miyamoto winks extra hard whenever she mentions that. - -### Blackmann Arms Ltd. - -What was initially a small father and son gunsmithing shop rapidly exploded in -popularity and size once they moved to the States in the wake of WWII. They're -mainly specialized in unorthodox shotguns and very high caliber rifles. Indeed, -Blackmann is the name when it comes to big guns that can kill things very dead -very fast. - -Their slogan is "if you can imagine it, we can build it", and so far there has -never been a single weapon they couldn't build, no matter how crazy the request -of the client was. - -### Mr. BIG SHOT Industries - -A mysterious corporation that popped up out of nowhere, led by a very reclusive -individual. Most of the time it just gives funding to Blackmann Arms or -commissions very specific weapon designs from them, or just buys a shitload of -ammunition and other supplies. - -People say that the man might be "preparing for the apocalypse", what with all -the high tech material he buys. - -### Decade Mechanics - -This was the name seen in documents found in the decaying ruins of an abandoned -factory deep into the barren planet of Sunkaeze. The place is plagued by what's -pretty much "evil spectres" according to some. Although it cost many lives, a -lot of ancient alien tech was salvaged from there, including very high end -weaponry. - -### Forx Aeronautics - -Founded by Harold Forx, this is the #1 company when it comes to high grade -aircraft engineering. It is famous for its innovative jet engines that are -powerful yet miraculously efficient. - -### Imanaki Research Foundation - -The name of a private research center located deep into the ghost town of -Kereshnovka, somewhere in Siberia. They have secretly been experimenting with -interdimensional travel long before the UAC, and have also delved into -combining human and demonic technology. - -Unfortunately the company went under in 2009 after the "Hellbound Incident", -when one of their routine teleports was hijacked by an unknown third party and -the facility was destroyed by an unidentified alien species. Since an UAC (UAAF -at the time) task force had been sent there, they managed to get their hands -into a lot of the research material and the rest, as they say, is history. - -### Munch Innovations - -The registered name for everything made by a crazy inventor that challenged -himself to "create as many guns as I can in one week". Most of his repertoire -is very unorthodox and perhaps impractical, but whenever one was a big success, -it would enter mass production and sell like hotcakes. - -### Symnatek - -A manufacturer of construction tools and heavy machinery. More popular than -Mixom (at least in Australia), despite most people not even knowing its name. -Also makes basic military equipment, such as knives and other close combat -weapons. - -### Tach-Engine Technologies - -Described as "the second largest tech conglomerate on Earth", right behind a -certain evil international tech company known mainly for its search engine. -Tach-Engine Technologies covers pretty much everything, although it's -most known for its work on fusion energy... and for its weapons (of course). - -### Unissix Crafts - -A small weapons shop run by members of the Unissix family of warriors. While -mostly specialized in blades and hammers and whatnot, sometimes they've done -firearms by request. It is led by Unissix Bokurou Azadeku, who also organizes -the "Unissix Tournaments", a gladiatorial sporting event. - ---- - -## Individuals - -### Doom Marine - -The lone survivor of the demonic invasions of the UAC bases on the moons of -Mars. Kind of a living legend. The events of SWWM GZ happen more or less in -parallel to his actions during Doom 2, so if you're playing vanilla it'd be -more or less as if you're "racing him to the finish line". - -### Doom Slayer - -A universe-hopping demon exterminator. Appears to bear some resemblance to the -Doom Marine, not much else is known about him. - -### Harold Forx - -The owner of Forx Industries, a "self-made" millionaire who started his life as -an orphan scavenging in junkyards and restoring old jet engines. Always boasts -about his successes and is overall a very arrogant and obnoxious man. - -One story that most will not forget, was that of his attempt to close down -Andrew Foster's orphanage, where he was raised in, in order to build a new -factory. A long legal battle ensued, but eventually nothing came of it. Then -one day, enraged, he decided to take matters into his own hands and walked -right through the doors, screaming for Foster's name. Seconds later, he came -back out, in tears, and with a bright red hand mark across his face. The -factory was never built, and the orphanage still stands to this day. - -### Hermann E. Ischer - -The current owner of Blackmann Arms, great-great grandson of its founder. Ever -since he started leading the company, he's made a rule that every weapon that -comes out of the factory must have some method for emptying the whole magazine -at once. Most people's attention is immediately drawn to his gigantic eyebrows. - -### Ibuki Miyamoto - -The result of Akari Labs' "Red Oni" Supersoldier project. A tall, sexy and very -well-endowed woman who's half snark and half charm (and also a nudist). Of -course she was intentionally made this way by her creator, Saya Miyamoto. -Suffice to say, the military contractors who paid big money for the project -weren't all too happy with this... until they saw how she performed in the -field. She was immediately sent to America to see if the situation with WW3 -could be turned around. As it so happened, she wasn't very helpful, as shortly -after deployment, the United States fell (off-handedly mentioned in UnSX 4). - -### Janus Locke Hoodth - -A mad scientist shut-in who sometimes creates "toys" that are hilariously -deadly. Younger brother to Häzel Hoodth, the "mad doctor" of Kereshnovka, who -is rumored to have conducted all sorts of cruel experiments on humans in search -for "the essence of immortality". After an explosion near the abandoned oil -refinery west of the town, some of the locals have mentioned seeing an odd, -floating figure roaming the area (It's Dark In Here). It is said that his -madness may have something to do with the death of his brother. - -One day, after being fed up with all the negative feedback his products keep -receiving, Locke attempts to take over the world. Unfortunately for him, he -doesn't succeed (UnSX 5). - -### J.A. Tachmek-Smith - -A man who, if all reports are true, would be over six thousand years old. -Claims to be the "true king of Egypt", among other things. He's also the -founder and head of research at Tach-Engine Technologies, and a notable -philanthropist. - -### John "Bigshot" Gunns - -A man who claims to be the "son of Benellus" and "born of shotguns". Created -Big Shot Industries in order to prepare the world for "the greatest battle -humanity will face, and the greatest face humanity will battle" (crimes_m). - -### LS - -The founding parent of the floating island of Sankaideriha, home to all magic, -who holds the title of "Blackfire manipulator", for having mastered an odd form -of pyromancy where flames absorb light and emit cold. Commissioned the creation -of the weapon known as the "Blackfire igniter" from Unissix Crafts. - -There is not much else known about them personally. They tend to always stay -out of the public eye. It is very rare for them to ever act in any situation, -unless it is something very exceptional (UnSX 6). - -### Maester Mekes - -Documents found in the ruins of Decade Mechanics show that this was the CEO of -that company, cross-referencing with historical records from that time also -show that he was involved with the "mad dictator god" Nedoshiaan and -kickstarted the incident that would result in the first recorded assassination -of a deity. It is possible that that incident was related to the facility being -abandoned, as still living witnesses of the event declared him dead. - -### Nedoshiaan - -The "mad dictator god", who ruled a world bearing his own name. Associated with -several artifacts found within the massive crater where the heart of his -empire once was. Among them the most notable are the "Nekrodero", "Ynykron", -"Kyshyje" and "Mykradvo" artifacts, four weapons that would have been used by -his personal elite knights, known as the "Warriors of World's End". - -After his assassination, a massive crater was found where his throne once -stood. And the various artifacts were found nearby. No traces of life, or the -remains of anyone were ever found, including those of Sirumat Ky, the man who -activated the device that killed him. - -### Parker Munch - -Some guy who can't stop inventing wacky guns. Not much is known about him -personally. Some people say his name sounds "oddly like something I've heard -somewhere else". - -Many people have attempted to dig up any information regarding who he is and -where he came from, but all have come back empty-handed. Suffice to say, he at -least isn't the type to attempt any sort of hostile takeover, he just likes -to invent stuff out of boredom. - -### Reubens C. Karnanaiahmani - -Youngest son of king Marc P. Karnanaiahmani. A prolific inventor, known for -innovative gadgets such as the "Gravity Suppressor" or the "Hammerspace -Container", among others. A very nerdy looking lad, though his looks are quite -deceiving as he is also highly skilled in several martial arts, as well as -being an excellent sharpshooter (UnSX 4). - -### Saya Miyamoto - -A child prodigy known all over Japan, in part because she's the middle daughter -to Nana Miyamoto, the woman who shook the country when she claimed to be -"a descendant of Princess Kaguya". People have remarked on the fact that they -don't seem to ever age, which only further reinforces Nana's words. - -Saya is often called "Not-Tomoko" around the net, in reference to a similar -looking character from a popular manga. In terms of personality and looks, the -resemblance is definitely there. She is well known for being quite blunt when -talking to people, and also for being exaggeratedly flirty around attractive -women. - -Her favourite colour is red, favourite animal is the otter, and favourite dish -is pepperoni pizza. She also enjoys drone metal. Likes baggy clothes, refuses -to wear skirts, only pants. Uses Arch, favourite editor is vim, favourite -programming language is haskell. Her top "turn-ons" are well-endowed women, -maids, femboys and heterochromia. She doesn't use deodorant or cologne, -although people around her remark that her BO is "kind of nice actually". - -She has an older brother, Taro, and a younger sister, Yui. Thanks to the -immortal blood of her mother, her aging "froze" at the age of 25, and -absolutely hates the fact no longer growing means she's stuck being 5 feet and -having a cup size of B. - -Among other hobbies, Saya really enjoys writing. Her first foray into manga, -"My Maid is a Sex Robot", became successful enough to get an anime adaptation. -She is also very popular on social media, and once attempted live streaming, -but dropped it because she was "attracting creepy basement dwellers". - -### Tetsuya Imanaki - -The founder of the Imanaki Research Foundation and last surviving member of the -Imanaki family after the Onoke Mansion Murders (Horror Show: The Scary Side). -He spearheaded the initial expeditions to Hell during the early days of the -foundation and even managed to strike some deals with the head of the royal -family. - -After the incident that led to the destruction of the research center on -Kereshnovka (Hellbound), he pretty much disappeared from the public eye. -Although some say that he probably just ran away, got lost in the forest, and -became food for the ghouls, or worse, became one of them (Hellbound 2). - -### Unissix Bokurou Azadeku - -Known as the "little enterpreneur" of the Unissix family. She builds all sorts -of things through the "Unissix Crafts" brand and is the main supplier of -equipment for the town. She's the mother of Zanaveth III, a self-proclaimed -"good-evil" supervillain. - -In addition, she, along with other notable personalities in arms manufacturing, -led the creation of the Unissix Tournaments after years of boredom with the -lack of "thrilling, action packed arena combat" in bloodsports at the time, -which were dominated by the "free-for-all battle royale in a large environment" -format (UnSX series). - -Azadeku shares her name with a mythical being who is said to have been the -"first god of the world" (Project .Blank). Her younger sister, Deneva, says -that if she ever has a kid, she'll also give them that name (The Hiikyan War). - -### Zanaveth Nekuraku III, "The Corruptor" - -A "criminal mastermind" who attempts to take over the world during the events -of Doom II (Total Madness). Her plan is to construct an army of augmented -hellspawn that only she can control. It all falls apart when the man she picks -for the job of gathering all the required items for this task betrays her. -After a humiliating defeat by blowing herself up with a defective, untested -prototype of a semi-auto Spreadgun, she goes back into hiding. - ---- - -## Technology and Materials - -### Akari Labs CuteEmotion Display - -The CuteEmotion Display is a system that allows robots to form simple readable -facial expressions to further enhance communication with humans. It is equipped -with an user-expandable library of images that can be associated with any sort -of emotion the AI may want to convey, whether it's happy or sad, excited or -bored, calm or angered... - -### Akari Labs Loudboi Voicebox - -Also built with AI in mind, and for those building on a budget or needing very -small and lightweight vocal capabilities. The Loudboi Voicebox allows an AI to -speak in any programmed language using simple speech synthesis. - -### Blackmann-Forx Rapid Jet Compensator - -These proprietary, miniature jet engines were designed with the capability to -compensate for the humanly unbearable recoil of very large caliber Blackmann -rifles (1.050 and up). - -### Blackmann Ultra-High Caliber Bullets - -Somewhat inspired by a certain other weapon designer, Blackmann Arms decided to -jump into the big boolet bandwagon, which resulted in the "Silver Bullet" -series of ultra-high caliber rifles. Initially starting with the .850 BIG and -.950 BCG, they kept going, following up with the 1.050 FCB and then the 1.150 -XSB. When people thought that they couldn't go even further beyond that point, -they devised the 1.350 TAF, although at that point things were starting to -become way too cumbersome (and excessive) for normal use, so they stopped. - -### Blackmann Spin Motion Wedge Bullets - -The quite unique ammunition of the "Puntzer" family of weapons. Screw shaped -bullets that spin rapidly and easily penetrate even the toughest armor. - -### Biosparks - -The name given to the "living ball lightning" that comes out of the weapon -retrieved from the Decade Mechanics facility. In its most advanced forms it -even seems to have some level of sentience. - -### Explodium - -An odd and unexplainable material that combusts violently when ignited or -struck. A single gram of the stuff has the explosive yield of a standard-issue -hand grenade, which makes it very useful in the creation of small bombs. It's -rumored that such devices could have been used for the assasination of a -certain rich Japanese family. - -### Forx JetBurst Impulsor - -The JetBurst Impulsor is a flexible, portable propulsion engine that can allow -increased mobility on power armor or even heavy vehicles. It is however not -capable of sustained levitation, but that is being worked on. - -### Hammerspace - -What once was thought as mere fiction. Hammerspace is a system that allows for -the link between a specific container and a large pocket of isolated -space-time. It allows for the storage of all sorts of things, and can keep food -fresh practically forever. Storing living things in Hammerspace is however not -permitted and will immediately void your warranty. - -### "Kraut Deep Space Magic" - -The term used to describe the Wallbuster's unique internal mechanisms, -referencing how it is even more mind-blowingly insane than the G11's. The -ludicrous level of complexity of this weapon makes it not only very expensive, -but also only repairable by members of the Ischer family, personally. - -### Nokron, Kinylum, Purom and Puronokorokinylum - -Exotic materials of undisclosed composition that are capable of reaching plasma -state at relatively low temperatures. They are mainly used to drive fusion -engines, but they also have some uses in weaponry. The combination of all three -results in a highly unstable and volatile mixture that can potentially tear -holes in space-time if misused. It was, therefore, the ideal choice of -ammunition for the Ynykron Artifact. - -### Omnisight Mapping Unit - -Simple devices used for storing mapping data on a specific location, and ready -for use in most targetting arrays, as they're pretty much plug and play. - ---- - -## Locations - -### Kereshnovka - -A "ghost town" located in "the middle of nowhere, Siberia". Impossible to -locate on maps or triangulate with GPS, as it appears to somehow exist within -some sort of "barrier". The town is known for the "ghouls" that roam around its -forest and other surrounding areas, which make travel dangerous to outsiders -(they appear to ignore the natives). It is also almost entirely inhabited by -refugees of a humanoid alien species known as the "Qurensniv", who fled their -homeworld escaping the genocidal wrath of a mad king. Their native language -has some surprising similarities to Russian. - -### Nedoshiaan - -The personal playground of the mad dictator god Nedoshiaan, or at least what -remains of it. After his assassination, most of it was completely obliterated -and a gigantic crater stands in its place. At the very bottom of it, various -items were found, among them the "artifacts", one of which is a weapon in this -mod. - -### Sankaideriha - -The land of magic. A large island floating in an endless ocean of pure magic -energy. The vast majority of its inhabitants are magic users. Noteworthy people -born here include Saniuke Okusainaya, the first technomancer, and Kana Sankai, -head of the Counter-Inquisition, which strives to protect magic users living -abroad from persecution. It is also home to the last surviving members of the -Pynn race. - -### Sunkaeze - -A dead planet on the outer rim of the Xathar system, thought to be entirely -barren and inhabitable, until a lone building was found, a factory, built by -the old mechanical demigod Maester Mekes. - -### X'Animen Coalition - -A group founded by some of the Warriors of Ix, and formed of several -interconnected planetary systems, most from the Zen planetarium protected by -the goddess Anakauser. Its members include: - -- Xathar: A system located within the Andromeda galaxy, and the most populated. - - Junifh: Scorching hot planet with many underground communities. Home to the - Onkou, and to coalition co-founder Ix Konro. - - Hebeku: A warm, mountainous planet, inhabited by the Votrexxians. - - Nahkami: Icy moon of Hebeku, inhabited by the Nukuri. - - Karnanaiahma: A world of large oceans, home of the Qurensniv. - - Buran: Formerly lush planet now covered by the matryoshka brain structure - known as the Bleaknet, inhabited by the Burakan. -- Zenna: Second most populated system, located somewhere within the Triangulum - galaxy. - - Dhetis: A planet brimming with diverse lifeforms, home to countless - species. - - Ixxeney: Large planet orbited by the fastest known moon. Home of the - titanic Xekkians and the draconic Devanikans. - - Nekemekya: Semi-artificial planet covered by a large metalic shell, home to - the Mekyon, a race of mechanical beings created by Ix Nemeke, co-founder - of the coalition. - - Xeryuga: Highly hostile magma-filled hellscape planet, inhabited by cute - bunnies, and home of Ix Xeuriges, co-founder of the coalition and creator - of the many gates connecting these worlds. - - Unukugoshuenike: Giant crystal planet, home of the Goshun. - - Unuenishe (former): Destroyed homeworld of the Mishe race. -- Kryudon: Third most populated system, also from the Andromeda galaxy. - - Lok: Dark, fog-covered planet, home of the Lokans and the Rokana. - - Kayo: Overpopulated planet-city, homeworld of the Kyon. - - Kantharo: Dwarf planet, home of the Kanethes and the Aldabura, and to - Ix Pyskou. - - Kruon: Ash-covered volcanic planet. Home of the Kruniin, ruled by Dread - Overlord Nuoma. -- Mondakan: A system from the neighbouring planetarium of Kyu. - - Mon: A planet with odd similarities to Earth, home of its namesake race, - the Mon, plus many others. Also home to Ix Xekkene, coalition - co-founder. - - Kuranite: Rocky planet, home of various species. - - Nedoshiaan (former): The old planet of mad dictator god Nedoshiaan, now - completely barren. Former home of the Izuna race. -- Sumayon (former): A system from the Milky way, used to house one lone planet. - - Senekeye Keinukyenei Bhekeyuni: Homeworld of the Keinun and former home of - Ix Sumai. Shattered and pushed out of its orbit after a great cataclysm. -- Human Solar System (candidate): Our world (duh), located in the Milky Way. - - Earth: A planet that, despite its name, has more water than land. Home of - the Humans. - - Luna: The lone moon of planet Earth, inhabited by the Lunarians. -- Rimm (candidate): A remote system within the Milky Way that has attracted the - interests of many races due to the vast amount of Tarydium found in one of - its planets. - - Na Pali: Lush planet known for its precious mineral resources, home of the - Nali. - ---- - -## A loose timeline of events - -This is in no way accurate, and it's hard to make much sense of all of it since -SWWM GZ effectively blends Doom with the UnSX universe (which was itself -already blended with Unreal). Note that there are BIG SPOILERS for some stuff -in my games here. - -Hollow timeline ("real world"): - -- February 29, 1992: Waratsuki Emimaru is born. -- August of 2021: Hollow begins. -- September of 2021: Hollow ends.
