Heart of the Universe | Happy AU.

Lololoshka's dream dimension is a strange world, as if woven from dreams: it's unlike ordinary lands, and time flows here entirely differently. Everything here is held together by the magic of the void—it's thanks to this that Never was able to create a whole network of tiny floating islands for Lololoshka, like fragments of memories suspended in the endless darkness.

At the center of this world, the crystal of the Guiding Skint once shone—it was like the heart of the entire dimension: thin, glowing threads extended from it, connecting the islands. The islands themselves were varied: on some, there were quiet clearings of soft grass and strange trees whose leaves shimmered with a pearlescent light.

An ancient and harsh world, where nature itself seems to have become part of the disaster. There are gloomy mountain ranges, deep caves, and forests with trees whose branches reach toward the sky like claws, and whose foliage glistens with a dull green. In places, the ground is covered with scattered skints—some golden, some frighteningly dark, as if the world itself is suffering from this plague. A light haze hangs in the air, and the sky is often covered with heavy leaden clouds—as if acid rain is about to fall. It is from here that Lololoshka leads new inhabitants into her sleepy dimension.

An infected skint is eerie and completely unlike a normal one: it's dark brown, almost black, with thick black veins, as if a web of darkness had spread across the crystal. Its surface is uneven and bumpy—like growths that seem to grow and change on their own, and inside, instead of a warm amber glow, there's a dim, flickering reddish-black light, like a smoldering ember. This skint can cling to walls and stones, and even attach itself to living creatures: covering the skin, growing through armor, and stretching in thin dark threads across the body. It dramatically alters the appearance of characters: their eyes darken and seem to glow with an ominous light, their movements become abrupt, and a cold, prickly shadow seems to hover around the infected. In general, this is no longer a beautiful crystal, but something dangerous and alive - as if the infection itself has taken shape.

Skinth are crystals that appear as solid, golden-yellow or amber formations: they have an uneven, slightly sparkling surface, and within them, a thin thread of light shimmers, like a frozen spark. In its pure form, skinth occurs as individual crystals or a scattering of small grains, while infected skinth darkens, becomes covered in black veins, and seems to "grow" directly onto surfaces or even onto creatures, like growths. Faceted skinth also occurs: it is no longer so wild and uneven, but carefully crafted, glittering and reminiscent of a precious stone. In the world of Archaea, skinth is everywhere: it is set into amulets, attached to weapons, used in mechanisms, and even simply worn as jewelry, for it seems to contain a fragment of the planeswalkers' power.

A tall elf with long, slender arms, tanned skin, and ash-white hair. She has dark green eyes that convey both wariness and deep sadness. She most often wears a green hooded cape—it conceals her head, giving her the appearance of a secretive wanderer. Underneath, she wears brown trousers and sturdy boots, comfortable for long journeys and life in the wilderness.

She hates the human race because they exterminated her kind (she's the last of her kind), but after meeting John and the others, she learned to trust them. She may seem distant and unfriendly, but she's actually kind and caring, albeit cautious in her interactions.

A young, short man with pale skin and light hair, he has neat sideburns. He wears light leather armor and a large metal helmet over it, giving him the appearance of a true hunter.

He never stands aside, always wanting to help those who are dear to him or who have helped him. He's very kind and sympathetic, caring. Overall, he's a friendly guy whose company is good for everyone.

A middle-aged man with a thick dark beard and abundant facial hair, he has warm brown eyes and a hat-like object on his head, giving him the appearance of a true alchemist. He wears a brown cape that looks a little tattered from his long travels, and unusual patterns are visible on his arms—like tattoos or traces of alchemical experiments.

He's very kind, always friendly to everyone, and looks out for everyone. He's also an herbalist, making all sorts of herbal infusions and soups. His best friend is Gimlin, with whom he spends more time than anyone else.

A petite dwarf with a sturdy build typical of her race. She has warm brown eyes, often flashing either a touch of sadness or genuine curiosity. Her dark blond hair is usually pulled back into a simple bun to keep it out of the way, as Gulida is used to being on the move—whether exploring caves or helping her elders. She dresses modestly: a thick shirt, leather pants, sturdy boots, and a small, warm cloak—all practical, without unnecessary embellishments.

She has a friend: Sindri. She's very active, just like him. She loves to frolic, play, and run, and they often tease Never. It's their favorite pastime.

A dwarf, Gimlin's son: he is short, with the typical dwarven build, and wears simple but sturdy clothing suitable for harsh conditions—often in dark and earthy tones. He has reddish hair, slightly tousled, and alert green eyes that suggest both curiosity and a hint of wariness.

He has a friend, Gulida. He's very active, just like her. He loves to frolic, play, and run, and they often tease Never. It's their favorite pastime.

A dwarf of short stature with red hair and green eyes. He's clad in massive steel armor and holds a sledgehammer firmly in his hands. A family mark is noticeable on his neck—his great-great-grandfather had the same mark.

Gimlin has a son, Sindri. He loves and cherishes him. If he has moral problems, he can drink beer. Kind and courageous, dwarves love fighting. He is a blacksmith, or more precisely, he creates jewelry and amulets.

Crimson. Dressed in black and red robes, his head is usually hidden under a hood. His eyes are crimson, he is noticeably shorter than many other members of his race, and his skin is black.

He's a blacksmith, a hobby. He's not very friendly and hates meeting new people, but once he gets used to it, he'll be friendly and kind. Like Never, he's a bit grumpy. He received two gifts from Lololoshka: a wall clock and a clock based on the Archean timeframe. Crimson loves fighting.

An anthropomorphic black raven. Wields hollow magic (the color of magic).

He's grumpy and doesn't like noise, so that's a common topic of his grumbling. He likes it when people come over to talk to him, but he'll never say so, only grumbling about violations of his personal boundaries. Heh.

Lololoshka is an interdimensional being and a half-breed (half-human, half-elf). He is 190-195 cm tall. His usual attire includes a white hoodie with turquoise pockets and a creeper face on the back. He also wears dark gray pants with turquoise ribbons near the pockets. He also wears blue sneakers with white soles. He also has a scarf and sunglasses, which complement his look. The scarf is turquoise with a black checkered pattern, and the sunglasses have turquoise trim. He has pale skin and brown hair that is styled untidily. His bangs are slightly slanted to the left.

Lololoshka is very kind and sympathetic, always willing to help even when unsolicited. He's smart, but not a genius. Because he's kind, he always makes friends. Some of them are: Jodah, Oketra, Rayi-Prime, Dylan, and John. If he doesn't want to upset or offend someone, he allows himself to lie.

John is Lololoshka's alter ego. Their appearance is identical, except for their clothing style and personality. While Lololoshka's style is "Teenage," John prefers a white coat with a creeper face on the back, white pants, and black, men's shoes. Like Lololoshka, he also has a scarf and glasses, only orange.

John is a genius who loves to leave his mark on the history of every world, a scholar, and always striving for knowledge. He often calls Lololoshka "Handsome" or says he has a "Sweet Face," which is a way of praising himself, as they share a similar face. John's body is always active; he can do a cartwheel or a handstand at any moment. He loves to meditate while standing on his hands. He can call someone beautiful or handsome, but only if he likes them. And he NEVER lies. So if anyone doubts his words, his first defense is: "I never lie."
