Dimensional Reality Universe Identification System (D.R.U.ID.S)
Welcome to D.R.U.ID.S, aka the Dimensional Reality Universe Identification System, an experiment in universe and multiverse identification. Some of you may have noticed us reblogging some posts and assigning and ID to each. This is the start of our process of identifying and cataloguing universes throughout the Omniverse.
(Please note, any universes catalogued are not of significant importance unless stated otherwise. This is purely an experiment in multiversal identification. The IDs assigned are up to the original creators to ignore or embrace.)
Each universe ID can be broken up into three parts for ease of categorizing and search up in the system, here is how to make sense of the universe ID.
First part - Class. A letter abbreviation of two or more letters which denotes the story, franchise, or multiverse the universe is a part of. Ex: Undertale universes have a class of UT. Please refer to the cataloged for universes which might share an abbreviation (ie Deltarune and Dangaronpa both being able to be abbreviated as DR)
Second part - Type. A three digit number which denotes the type of universe. Ie; prime, role-swap, edgy/fell, etc. Ex: Prime universes have the type 317. Swap AUs (alternate universes) have multiple types depending on the type of swap. Role Swap A (in which personalities are swapped along with roles) is type ID 713. Role Swap B (in which personalities stay the same and only roles and situations are swapped) is type ID 137
Third part - line/subtype. A four digit number which further denotes the specific universe. This number is often randomized, but may also relate to a significant number or date related to the universe, such as it's creation. Ex: the line/subtype of the main Marvel comic's universe is 0616, as that universe is known as Earth-616 within that Multiverse.
Once combined, the full ID tells you all you the base information you need to know about a given universe. For example, Undertale-ish, an AU of Undertale we've been keeping a close eye on has the ID of UT-514_9198, so you can tell it's an Undertale universe from it's class, the type tells that it's a crossover of related franchises (in this case, Undertale and Deltarune), and it's line/subtype tells us that is it is specifically the universe known as Undertale-ish.
This system/catalogue is not yet complete, and we do not claim it to be full-proof or gain wide spread notoriety. We are simply using it to identify universes we come across and hope it might be of some use to others. We will attempt to compile our current catalogue soon and link it here. If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments about this system, please submit them to our ask box and we will try our best to answer in due time.
Thank you for your time and we hope to have your support as we continue to develop the D.R.U.ID.S
