Welcome to Fractal Theory, a multi-fandom story I am creating for my OC, Emera Sinclair.
Like the title suggests, The story takes place amongst several timelines and throughout a multiverse of creative media properties. Several Emeras live several lives that collide with each other and share many parallel themes. Each world's lore is picked from it's source material and fleshed out with details that support how I want the characters to be. The levels of OOC varies from character to character.
All character models are created by me, ported by me or my personal edits of mods in FFXIV. Images are created either in Gpose or Blender.
You can see more WIPs and other ramblings about Emera on my Bluesky
I want to keep everything nicely tagged and organized for myself and anyone who stumbles across this, so I've chosen to use my own titles for each Emera. Below is a list and a short blurb of each version of Emera:
The Origin My Azem, Eris, born with the star Etheirys. She has a unique energy that comes from within herself and can see all of time and space except events she will personally influence. Wishing for a legacy, she uses the creation magicks of her people to birth all Emeras.

The Void Eris' first attempt at an Emera that goes horribly wrong and eventually becomes a world-eating threat. She is also referred to as Proto-Emera. You could say she is the BBEG of the story. Once freed, she begins to eat worlds to collect other Emeras to manipulate them in her timeless plane.

The One From the timeline where only one Emera exists in the whole of the multiverse, also referred to as Prime Emera. She can travel the multiverse herself to see many worlds. She holds all of Eris' energy and is wildly unstable. Eris, visited by a time-traveling Teferi, learns of this Emera's multiverse-destroying ending and decides to create sundered Emeras in each universe to spread the energy for stability. Emeras that exist on planes where this Emera has spent time have a larger potential energy and become awakened to it's existence in different ways. A few other Emeras also will awaken the energy, but are less able to wield it.
The Izzet The sundered Emera of Ravnica. She escapes the Cult of Rakdos at a young age and is reluctantly taken in by Ral Zarek when she exhibits the ability to deflect his lightning. A mage who can manipulate electrons on an atomic level, She takes to the scientific process to become a young prodigy both beloved and hated by the league. She keeps running into Jace here and there throughout the years until the events of the Implicit Maze brings them together for good.

The Librarian The sundered Emera of Hawkins, Prime Emera's home plane. Unplanned and 12 years younger than her sister, she spends her time reading as many books as she can and plans to become a lawyer to afford writing novels of her own. She falls for a "scientist" who also spent his "free time" at the library. She ends up kidnapped by him and left with a version of him implanted into her consciousness. This version of him is left to control her, but becomes untouched by "The Mind Flayer" and her ally.

The Bioweapon The sundered Emera of Raccoon City, a plane that resides between Etheirys and Hawkins and shares similarities with both. The only successful test subject and living incubator of the prototype strain developed to be the base of the virus given to the subjects of Project W.

Bound to die if the other does, they are forced to stay together and pretend to be a couple. Wesker believes he's the mastermind of the pair, but her intelligence surpasses his own.
