SPACE GHOST KING MASTER POST
After posting my first sketches about this AU and the positive reception from the Phantom, it’s time, to sum up this bad boy variant of Ghost King Danny. This post will also bring facts that I’ve already revealed on the fanart server. Any post with the tag VoidOverlord!AU is concerned by this masterpost
If you wanna do a phanart/ phanfic about it, look at that masterpost and the tag above and you'll get what you need amikos :)
The King from beyond the Stars (Danny facts)
Danny is a full ghost and claimed his place as King of the Zone (As a halfa, he was perceived as Ghost Prince).
His secondary obsession with Space is still present to the point most things related to him are recognized by Sci-fy imagery.
Bc of his thirst for knowledge on the Cosmos, his core is now an Ice/Space hybrid. The Void is what often peaks his interest thus making his powers turn black and blue when using Space powers.
The ice he now generates is can range from icy blue to mint-green and can even become purple-ish black in rares cases. His base ectoplasm is also mint-green.
Phantom declared that Cosmology and Astronomy are now one of the official disciplines in Royal education. While Space is not unknown to the Zone, it was barely scratched become Phantom became king.
The Cosmic court (Friends and enemies)
His secondary obsession along the powers of both the ring and the crown created a kingborne race born with the purpose of studying Space: the Voidseer.
Voidseers are eldritch specters shrouded in white cultists robes running the Royal Astronomy club created by Phantom.
The Royal Astronomy club is divided into four wings led by the Hastur: Astronomy, Biology, Mechanics, and Exocivilization(aka alien civilizations).
The canon allies in the Zone became mentors and messengers to the King and often rules over a part of the GZ (the exception being Wulf due to being a druid circle’s eidolon in the living realm)
The majority of Phantom’s enemies from canon became friends and respect him to some extend (a few like to fight him but for old time’s sake and bonding).
Enemies are either disgruntled ghosts who hate Phantom for what he did to them, some of the former kings’ supporters (Pariah Dark’s worshipers combine both of these), or hostile alien races that consider the GZ as a negative afterlife dimension of Chaos/ Evil.
Most of Phantom’s entourage when he was still alive became ghosts either due to natural causes or extended exposition to ectoplasm. They all settled somewhere in the Zone depending on their obsessions and powers.
The Limbo King’s reach (Context and places)
The AU is roughly 490-500 years after the canon events regardless of whether Phantom Planet is canon or not.
The majority of the AU will be in the Ghost Zone but that doesn’t mean it will exclusively focus on it: Earth isn’t the only planet with Life in the Mortal world.
Exoplanets are explored by small groups led by either one of the Hasturs or Danny when he has free time.
Amity Park is a necropolis altering between the Zone and Earth like the Bermuda triangle: the growing necrotic radiation left by ectoplasm led the city to be abandoned. Only GIW agents and urbex explorers dare to enter this city of the Dead.
Any place built for Phantom or owned by him looks like alien and sci-fy architecture. The royal castle is said to be a hybrid of a grand palace and a space hub.
A cosmic kingdom’s slice of [after]life (Bonus facts)
Anything the king touches develops a distinct icy mint smell. Thankfully, it will disappear hours after if not touched again by Phantom.
Phantom is a canine person and has dozens of breeds under his command. His favorite is Ahklut, an amphibian orca-wolf hybrid that some ghosts believe to be in the King’s image.
Kingborne is a term given to any ghost race created from a ghost king’s bonus obsessions combined with the Ring and the Crown. Voidseers are not the only ones coined as such.
The Royal Astronomy club has an advanced orrery of the Solar System. However, the Voidseers managed to forget Pluto(a personal request of the King)…
It is ill-advised to remove a Voidseer’s clothing as their “true body” is a cosmic horror to behold. Danny is unphased by it somehow.
The Voidseers (Hastur included) tend to confuse Dani with Danny despite being explained several times why they’re different now.
Clockwork likes the Voidseers better bc they’re not arrogant, lawful-stupid, no-fun allowed ghosts like the Observants are.
All Voidseers has Them/They as their pronouns bc they’re Lovecraftian ghosts.
There is a realm in the GZ called the National park of Nansen where Phantom is said to often visit this polar park to watch auroras with some of the ahkluts living there.
