Character references coming soon!

Hey, have you ever think of inviting PokéMuses (namely those with ask blogs) for a RP Sleepover/Hangout?

I think I should wait until I have more experience running a tumblr first!

But if I did, I’d probably do a Pokémon themed one, I’d probably do it on my side blog, @mew-sanctuary

I’d need more potential interactions to do one here.

Praga is in a position where I could have people from all sorts of fandoms together, and that’s kinda by design.

Though as an original work, it will grow much slower than my fan work!

(If you haven't answered this already)

Where did you come up with the names of your characters?

Psy’s name is from psychic, the type of energy she is made of! She’s also an energi, the name of her species coming from “energy” but the last letter is changed.

Vaga’s name comes from vagabond, another word for traveler!

Nova is Psy’s nickname for the Novae she and Psy met. Novae is also just a slightly changed word to make a species name.

Usually I go though Behind the name to name characters, but I haven’t introduced any characters with more complicated names yet!

But I like to give characters names with meaning!

Traveler’s Log - Entry 5

Happy New Half Year!!!

Perhaps I should explain the strange name of this entry. For most dimensions I’ve been to, there’s one new year event.

On Praga, there are two.

It happens when your planet has a year over six hundred days long split between two dimensions. Praga’s planetary orbit has a massive dimensional portal right in its path.

According to records of conversations with Novae, it is the collision point, the place where the two dimensions intersect.

We have records of when it formed about 3,000 years ago, right on top of what used to be the fourth planet around the sun in our home dimension.

Many of the sentient species that call Praga home escaped Rahab as it imploded into the portal. My mom is one of them.

According to legends, the mana guardians sacrificed their lives to send as many people from Rahab to Praga. Only one mana guardian is still alive. He religiously guards the portal wasteland, an island where the Rahabians first arrived. Now, it is a jumbled maze of hundreds of opening and closing portals going to countless dimensions. I would not recommend going there unless you can sense dimensional fields. You can be on the island one step and in a completely different dimension the next.

I’m rambling again. I apologize, the time around the Traversal Festival is the busiest for Dimensional travelers.

Between strengthening the ley lines before, and then finding and closing any wild portals that open up during the cross-dimensional journey, I’m exhausted. At least the planet only experiences this twice a year.

I can see Psy tried to write a report about the creature that came through one of the Transversal rifts. I’ll thank her when she wakes up. For now, it’s best to let her continue to sleep in my mind. She’s a good teammate and friend.

Entry 4 - Psy’s notes

Vaga is asleep and this is im-port-ant to her, so I’m takin over.

Spelling is hard when I cant use Vaga’s mind to help. She’s the smart won. She makes shure I spell good. I dont wanna bother her right now, she needs rest. We are a team and I can do this.

But I’m being a good energi and takin care of my host. Im not old enouf to live with out a host like the older energi I no.

We battled a big monster to day, and she used up all her magic energy. Shell heal faster sleepin. The angrie thing was big and told a lot of power to push it bak through the portal it came from.

Dont worrie, I helped fight, from the safe tea of Vaga’s mind. I live there and protec her from mind damage and controll. Well, the best I can.

Negi easily beat me last time he tested me. But it was not fair! Hes a lot older than me! He and Posi dont even have hosts anymore! I cant live long without one yet!

…….I’m glad Vaga didn’t think I was useless after that. She nos im a babie in energi life span. Posi and Negi are adults, like super old adults. I live in her mind, i see every thing she thinks. Even things she hides from her self.

Im a mind energy energi! I failed where i should be strongest!

I will be strong and make Vaga proud one day.

I think im rambling. Am i? I don’t no how Vaga does this. I think i should include a picture of myself too.

I drew it myself! I hope Vaga likes it!

But in case you need more pics of my cute self, here’s a picture Vaga took of me once.

I was NOT stuck in that bubble.

And no I will NOT TAKLIE bout it.

Entry 3 - Deliveries

Being a traveler isn’t always adventures.

Today it was my turn to be on delivery duty, delivering reports and paperwork to the various branches across the planet. Thankfully the portal hubs are so convenient. Each of the ten major cities has a portal hub. I’m not sure how they work, but the portal gates are serious magic. The team that creates them are masters with dimensional crystals and magic from them. I think I heard something about them operating off of ley lines.

There’s definitely a lot of energy flowing through them. Do not try to eat it. It’s yucky.

Your energy tastes are kinda limited to psychic energy, Psy. But I would not recommend messing with the portal gates or the energy they run from.

They also serve another purpose, they keep extraneous portals from forming in the cities. At least, as often. There have been a few, but the natural ley line nets cities are built on are stable enough to repel or weaken the random dimensional holes.

Out in the rural areas, dimensional portals can be large and destructive. That's why it's so important for the guilds to patrol the planet. People still live out there, and the guild's job is to protect everyone on the planet, whether they're native of visiting.

Uncontrolled, the planet could collapse and destroy itself. The more stable we can keep it, the less annoyed the Novae are as well. They could easily destroy our entire dimension if the planet sends out too many unstable inter dimensional waves into their space. It's best to find, stabilize, and close any portals we can find to other dimensions, and help people and objects return to the dimensions where they belong. At least, the best we can. Sometimes returning is not an option, for various reasons. Thankfully those cases are rare.

Sometimes we get to go to other dimensions to rescue people! And one time Guildmaster talked about he had to go fight a crazy government because they were opening wild unstable portals so often they were going to destroy themselves! And maybe our home too!

Fight is a strong word I don’t remember her using.

That’s how I remember it!!

Ok, ok, fine, you can say it like that.

Admittedly, the cities are not perfectly stable, especially near the edges. I’ve filed and seen reports of small portals opening and random objects come out within the stable cities. Socks, letters, keys, coins, and other random, sometimes unidentifiable objects. I think one time I had to hunt down a book from mom’s library that a patron had fall through a tiny portal. The giant bird did not like me taking it back from their nest.

And it tried to eat me!

You were the one that brazenly charged in yelling about being a distraction. Besides, I don’t think that creature could eat energy beings like yourself. You were safe. I would not have let you go if it was something like an energious snake.

Thank you, Vaga

No problem Psy.

Entry 2

Today a small creature arrived, appearing right next to me. If she had been any bigger, she probably would have knocked me over, especially with how fast she was flying. However, she knocked herself unconscious.

I took her to the guild infirmary. If it wasn’t for the small portal she came out of, I would have suspended her to be a native mewn. But, her proportions are slightly different, with smaller ears and her twin tails don't fully split.

Psychic generously gave her a bit of psychic energy to help her recover. I don’t know if her energy was depleted because of the portal or if she used it to open the portal. I think the former, being able to open portals without dimensional quartz is a rare skill.

We can do it!

Yes, we can, as long as we work together.

But back on topic, the home locator spell identified her as from a Mon-class dimension. Part of me wonders if, like me, she is a trans-dimensional hybrid. My best guess is she is part mewn.

But it is entirely possible that the explanation is trans-dimensional convergent evolution.

When she woke up, she was initially panicked, but Psy’s presence helped her calm down. I think she saw Psy as a smaller version of her species. With a bit of strained telepathy, she introduced herself as Mew-A, then corrected her own pronunciation to “Mewa.” She definitely seemed confused when we told her where she was.

She called me a fellow Pokémon, whatever that means!

After some rest, we helped locate her exact home dimension and sent her home. Perhaps one day we can visit her again. She and Psy really seemed to get along.

I definitely want to play with her some more!

Entry 1

Today I had what I consider one of the luckiest escapes of my life.

This is a hard lesson about being precise with portal destinations. By Novae, I could have died. By hands…. err... might of a Novae.

I can count myself one of the few that have survived an encounter with them. Their might is so mythical they’re even part of a common expression on my home planet. They’re as beautiful as the stories say, and just as terrifying. Their eyes blaze like stars among their nebulous bodies with wings large enough to completely blanket a planet.

I named them Nova!

…. Psy named them Nova. Thankfully, they were more amused than angered. I think they were a young Novae. More curious than angered that I trespassed on their domain. The legends are mixed on if they help or not, especially people from my planet. The theory among my fellow travelers is that our planet’s precarious dimensional instability affects the inter-dimensional void they call home.

They also made a strange remark about Psy, implying energi are rare. Is that why I haven’t found more? There are plenty of records, but nothing mentions why they’re gone, or even how. I didn’t want to push my luck with a Novae to ask. Maybe one day I’ll find the answer.

Nova!

Fine, Novae help me, I will call them Nova. Happy? Will you stop taking over my pen with telekinesis?

YESS! I WIN!!!!

Thank you for the pen back.

Sigh… Nova thankfully allowed us passage home. I will definitely be more careful with portals and not let Psy distract me. She’s cute, but she’s also young and troublesome sometimes.

Hey! I’m not trouble!

Psy…. You’re impulsive and I barely stopped you from throwing books around the library last time we visited Mom.

That was one time!

….

Stop giving me that look!

…. Fine! I did it twice!

There! I recorded it!

…And I’ll give you the pen back, like I promised…

Thank you.

I hope if we encounter a Novae again, they’re as nice as Nova.

Meeting Nova inspired me to start this log, and I almost feel like they suggested it? They were intrigued by us, and their aura gave me a feeling that they wanted me to keep traveling through dimensions and unlock our full potential. So I started this journal to record my travels and hijinks. With Psy around, I know there will be plenty of those. With all the wonderful places that exist, I know I’ll never run out of things to record. There’s infinite dimensions out there and reality is always more than one imagines.

One day, I hope to look back at this and see how far I’ve come.
