so here's what i can tell you about andy's waterworld verse so far.
it's super unfun for her. she hates water, especially when it is covering like 98% of what used to be land. dying in the water is the worst because you drown over and over and every time you wake up you only get so far before you die again and getting anywhere takes forever and you lose direction really quickly etc etc. plus the guilt and all that from the hundreds of years that quynh/noriko spent trapped underwater it's just like. the worst way the world could almost but not quite end.
that being said, she has been around for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. she knows everything about boats, sailing, navigation. she knows how to live off the land (or the water) she can make clothes and weapons and houses and boats and nets and can forge glass and metal, she can grow and cook just about anything, she can design irrigation and rain traps and like -- anything at all that might be useful for survival.
she doesn't get sick and heals from anything so diseases and all of that that comes with declining population and lack of 'modern' conveniences and medicines don't bother her personally she can also eat and drink anything even if it's poisonous or irradiated it might just suck getting sick or dying from it - she can also just starve and die of thirst or hunger and come back so there's really not a lot that isn't just INCONVENIENT or annoying about the state of the world
she definitely has at least one island somewhere that she and whatever other immortals have survived live. they don't really leave it much for a slew of reasons but every dozen or two years andy will venture out to see what's happening in the hellscape that is the world and see if there's people left, if there's any sign of return of land or civilization etc. occasionally her ship gets wrecked or what the fuck ever and she ends up stuck on an atoll or catching a ride with someone to an atoll until she can trade or earn a boat of her own to go back.
they never bring mortals back. it's just too dangerous for them.
the parts of things that are my mixed canon that include phel's relationship with andy, phel's little narnia pantry of food, herbs, grain etc. is still a thing but per usual all those headcanons don't tend to directly influence roleplay unless you wanna plot / scheme something out.
i do suggest reading through her headcanons in general though!
i'll add more as i think of it but yeah. this is the gist.
Other verses I do have but I don't think I have write ups for include a hellhound in human form, potential dragon or dragon hybrid in human form in got/hod ? or similar mythos type for mythological / medieval / fantastical verses; bastard son of a god et al.
Also he has a 'dark' merc verse that fits pretty much any verse / au ever which could work for all sorts of things including like mcu or dc / gotham in general -- with the potential to be won over to fighting for the good guys for the right cause ie remind him he actually does care about his honor, humanity, pay him well enough until he remembers those things or like.. seduce him to your side (though that goes for good to bad or bad to good in pretty much any verse).
In general I'm always down for discussing and plotting for any aus and or crossovers!
wiIford industries would like to welcome you to the ark of humanity — a time capsule of the world before. we endeavour to keep peace, order, and survival amongst the last of humankind.
the ark is a contemporary lot on the outskirts of chicago, and is a self-contained settlement that sustains itself off the backs of its workers. like snowpiercer, there are class zones, medic camps, and subzones where its survivors are able to move between without security clearance. the ark has its own judicial system, and security sects such as jackboots (military) and brakemen (police) to keep the peace.
breachmens' main jobs include venturing out beyond the perimeter, maintaining the compound's walls, and scouring for resources and supplies nearby.
wiIford's absence is explained similarly — he is tucked away in one of the buildings, working tirelessly to keep the compound alive, and mustn't be disturbed. in zombie apocalypse settings, there is a rumour that he's working night and day to find a cure, and is heralded as a god by all those who survive within the compound. mel remains the only person who 'has contact' with him, and relays his messages across the compound.
the hub of wiIford's ark sits in an abandoned hotel. the penthouse, although empty, is blocked with security access and is where wiIford is rumoured to be. the top rooms are reserved for the billionaires that would otherwise make up first class on the train, and further down into the basement, it is cordoned off into smaller, more efficient rooms for those in second class.
third class are left to camps and tents outside, where the majority of the agriculture and storage is kept. water treatment plants, animal enclosures, allotments, and natural resources are manned at all times, with hydroponics and mass generators located in the basement of the hotel. meI's role in this is more to do with the continued order and survival of the group, along with the energy harnessing from generators and solar power. this is, of course, still attributed to wiIford.
the tail is on the very outskirts of the compound and were allowed to stay in order to protect the perimeter of the compound with makeshift weapons. food and resources are offered to first class first. third and the tail are heavily policed to avoid riots or looting of services.

( chapter two ) Ah ! but even then, she remains impressively ordinary, doesn't she ? Nothing of significant value. It's okay ! You can ask, ' what can she even do ?

so i’m going to try and do a ... brief... ish write up of the sw verse with just the bare minimum. so here goes.
the star wars universe takes place ‘a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away’ so even though it’s ‘futuristic’ it’s technically all ancient history.
there’s three main settings for the movies at least. the prequel trilogy, the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy. for my blogs there’s also the old republic, which predates all of the movies.
the old republic was thousands of years before and was the peak era of the Force users - basically ... space wizards. there’s ‘good’ and ‘bad’; the light side and the dark side of the Force. good / light side users are generally Jedi; an ancient civilization that takes in children of all species and teaches them to channel peace and balance and are raised to serve as guardians, ambassadors, peace keepers (and protectors when need be) of the galaxy. ‘bad’ / dark side users are typically the Sith. they tend to be driven by what we consider negative emotions and while they have had whole empires they tend to be pretty back stabby and treacherous and as an entity tend to be pretty self sabotaging. (plus, being homicidal and genocidal tend to not make you a lot of friends.) they can also be pretty speciest depending on the era.
the old republic was pretty much the peak of the Force users, with Jedi and Sith pretty prevalent. civil wars happened, the galaxy kinda went to shit and over time the force users kinda dwindled down in numbers, and it was believed that the Sith were predominantly killed off.
there’s a lot of different names for the galactic governments over the millennia. in prequel era was predominantly ruled by The Galactic (or the Old) Republic. this ends up being turned into (”legally” of a sorts) into The Empire, whereas the opposition to the Empire is called the Rebellion. Eventually this is ‘freed’ from the Emperor’s grasp and becomes the New Republic. in the sequels, the New Republic is opposed by The First Order, which is attempting to take back control and is secretly controlled by the Emperor (spoilers I guess, who is not actually dead).
the policies on slavery, trade monopolies, piracy and what not tend to fluctuate pretty broadly depending on who is in charge.
there’s a few other groups of note (okay there’s more than a few but i’m trying to keep this brief). the Hutt Empire is one of the most notorious for black market items and controlling the drug, weapons and slave trade. (also, they’re giant slugs.) the Mandalorian’s role varies based on the era but they’re pretty significant too. the Bounty Hunters are a whole galactic guild and there’s a lot going on there. there’s also other species / planets that hold monopolies or a pretty tight chokehold on certain things such as cloning, ship manufacturing etc. depending on when you are in the timeline.
there’s also ‘the clones’; an army of (millions? trillions? idk) clones based off of jango fett, one of the most elite bounty hunters ever. these clones were created (supposedly) to serve as allies to and soldiers for the Jedi during the prequel trilogies (and the show the clone wars) to help stamp out rebellion and to keep the galaxy at peace while the separatist’s were protesting and various other dramas were going on. in reality (spoilers) the clones were actually designed for the primary purpose of Order 66, an edict issued by the Emperor in the end of the prequels to eradicate all of the Jedi, leaving Palpatine, a secret Dark Lord of the Sith unopposed to rule the galaxy and do whatever he saw fit. some of the clones were able to resist, or had their chips removed; some survive. the whole thing is very unhappy making as they were only created to kill and die and had a shorter life span and in general there wasn’t every really plans in place for them to retire or live a normal life because it was expected they would just all die in the name of the Republic/Empire but anyways. yeah those guys are pretty important too.
there’s alllll kinds of alien races. some humanoid some not. all colors, shapes, sizes, moral alignment, histories, etc. there are also droids, with varying degrees of awareness and personality.
space travel is pretty much an everyday occurrence, though per usual accessibility and speed and quality vary. travel at light speed or faster than light speed is called traveling through hyperspace. there are laser weapons, space stations that can destroy entire planets, energy shields that range from personal to planet wide. mining and terraforming. good guys, bad guys, crime, rebels, those that think they’re doing the right thing but aren’t, those that know they aren’t doing the right thing and don’t care. it’s a whole, vast verse. i think ?? that might be the bare minimum? if you have any questions or want me to expound on anything in particular feel free. i’m gonna do mini blurbs for my characters soon too, hopefully today.
She may not have been born on the Southside of Riverdale, but she wasn’t much of a Northsider either. In fact, she didn’t know where she belonged ? Once, raised for a while in the Northside of Riverdale, until hitting the age of 6. Parents Hal Cooper & Alice Cooper marriage fails when Hal discovers that his wife is very much still in contact with the Southside Serpents. Alice not being able to let go of who she is, her past and never did. It’s part of her. And she’s proud of it. She had made up excuses how she was working late-nights at the Register when really, her mom drove over to the Southside, Serpent Jacket clinging to her body where it belonged. Doing her duty as a South Side Serpent. Hal had enough of Alice’s double life and had her choose. It was either her father or the Serpents, and her mother chose the Serpents.
They settled on a divorce, Joint Custody of the kids. Alice moving to the Southside of Riverdale, and Hal staying in The Northside. Soon enough, the children become more involved in the Southside life. Following in their mothers’ footsteps. Coopers had a falling out, Chic and Polly don’t get along with Hal since when visiting, they would proudly show off their Serpent jackets. He didn’t accept them becoming part of that life. Won’t accept it. Polly & Chic favor their mother over their father and don’t make time to visit him. Unlike Betty, who finds herself in the middle of it all. Though she prefers living with her mother, and once refused to visit her father and would once meet him at Pop’s. Eventually, as she grew up, the guilt of leaving her father alone, coursed through her veins.
And by the age of 16, made a decision to start staying at her fathers home, from time to time. ( soon enough she begins to visit him a little too often. ) Betty becomes part of the Serpents at the age of 16, wanting to be more committed and to make her mother proud. She wants to become part of something. Having to go through the Serpents initiation, just like every Serpent had. Going through the four stages just like those before her. Her mother, brother, and sister, and now her.
Memorizing the Serpent Law,
Retrieve the knife from the Rattlesnake cage,
& lastly, the Gauntlet.
Chic is the one to hand Betty her Serpent Jacket since it was his idea in the first place to have Betty involved. Saying ‘family stick together!’ Reminding her if she isn’t a Serpent, she’s just like their father. An outsider.
Betty is mostly seen fixing cars, as a hobby of hers ! She likes to drown herself into. Not only is it a hobby, but she fixes her car for big races that are to come. Racing, being free. It keeps Betty from thinking too much of her family issues and keeps her from spiraling out of control. It’s her escape from the Southside, the Northside, and her family when things are getting too much for her to handle. It also helps her from harming herself [ TW: SELF-HARM ] — Betty has the tendency to dig her nails into her palms. Hurting herself when everyone decides to take it out on her, or tug-a-war at her. Deciding her life for her, making her promise she won’t ever betray them. She’s living a double life, just as her mom had once upon a time. But unlike her mother, she can’t handle it. Pretending to be what everyone wants you to be. The southside princess, or the girl next door.
That’s not her only problem. Her father drinks often. He’ll curse the names of her mother and sister & brother, for abandonment. Blaming her in his drunken state. Insulting the Southside with deep hatred. Letting the world know just how much he loathed the Serpents. And how no son or daughter of his, is going to be part of such a thug-life. Already disowning his sister and brother. ( Which is the reason why she hides her jacket from him. afraid her father will disown her if he found out. ) The thought of displeasing her mother or her sister also send Betty off the charts, increasing the anxiety in her chest. She doesn’t know where she belongs at this point ? or what to do. She’s stuck in the middle of her own family war. Being torn apart. And with racing, it takes her mind off of that, with fixing her car, it takes her to her own little world. Where she can just be Betty Cooper, and no one else.

A FEW DETAILS ON THIS VERSE:
Age: 18-20S
Betty visits her dad on the weekends. She mostly lives with her mother. But when getting into a fight with her mother or sister, she’ll head over to her fathers’ place.
Believes what the others tell her, that Northsiders are bad news. Least what her sister tells her. [ Polly being an ex of Jason. Using that as the excuse as to why Betty shouldn’t trust them. That they’ll just hurt you and have no care. And will mock her life. treat her like trash ]
NOTE : if Betty does get involved with a northsider, she won’t want her sister Polly to know. or any of her southside friends. in fact, she might try to push it aside, and forget about it. She doesn’t want to look like a betrayer to her Southside family. Hal Cooper is neighbors to the Andrew’s.She didn’t start coming back to the Northside until after she became a Serpent. Around until 16. [ trying to form a proper relationship with her father ]illegal street racing. It’s part of her escape. Not something she tends to share with anyone. Not even her own family knows.
Fixes cars at her dads’ place as a hobby of hers. Keeps to herself. Comes off rude at first, though she does have a soft spot, even for certain Northsiders if it comes to that point. Friends with Sabrina // love the whole dark aesthetic of witchcraft. Voodoo / perhaps things that make people question who insanity. She’s honestly more in touch with her darkness.
On a quest for revenge, to slay the men who killed her family, Oryan did the unthinkable; she sold her soul to the devil.
Trading her freedom for vampire abilities, Oryan made a deal with Angard, a centuries old vampire. The oldest one known to man. Enslaving herself to him, the vampire turned Oryan.
Blessed with new life, the young vampire sought revenge for her family. The scent of her parents and siblings still on the clothes of their murderers. Her revenge was bloody and lust filled. Oryan had not been prepared for how sweet their blood would taste.
When she returned to her master, Oryan was punished for her messy scene. But in truth, Angard was pleased at the blood lust she showed.
Over the course of centuries, Angard trained Oryan to be his personal killer. Anyone he disliked died at the woman’s hands. They went on like this for year and year until Oryan had enough. She wanted her freedom.
For decades she begged to be released but Angard refused. Knowing that he was older and wiser, Oryan trained until she was confident she could kill him.
Using all the tricks he taught her, channeling the years of abuse, Oryan turned on her master, killing him. In doing so, she inherited all of his powers and abilities, thus making her the most dangerous vampire to date.
