This Earth might sustain life just like ours, but it sure looks different! Here is a very rough current imagining of it. Things might change...
Some help with pronunciation of some of the names, this might be rough but here we go:
(note: the ee is short in every instance it is used here)
Wilków - veel-koov
Wilkowyje - veel-ko-vy-ye (first y like in myth, second y like in yes)
Zarogi - za-ro-gee (rolled r & hard g like in game)
Baligór - ba-lee-goor (again rolled r and hard g)
work in progress
Gaia is a planet in the Solar System, and it uses an advanced combination of technology and magic to hide it from Earth's gaze. The reason for this is that if Earthlings discovered Gaia, an universe-ending apocalypse would begin, but nobody knows if this is really true. Of course, there are Gaian migrants on Earth, but the few people they might've shared their secret with don't mean anything - it's just a very small number compared to the global population. And there aren't that many migrants anyways, since it's illegal to come in contact with Earth... but there was a surge of them during the chaos of the Angel Rebellion.
Gaia has two moons orbiting it - Heaven and Hell! unlike our moon, which is just a rock in space, heaven and hell can sustain life and are just little planets! these two are where demons and angels come from, and each is ruled by a monarch
Heaven is one of the Gaian moons. Its ruler, the King of Heaven, is aided in his rule by a council consisting of high-level Guardian Angel officials. Young angels are raised very strictly, and are taught to be obedient to their superiors every whim. They are also trained to be capable soldiers, though it is unknown why the King is preparing an army... to everyone except him and the council, of course.
Guardian Angel Dragons are a subspecies of dragons, and are native to Heaven. All G.A.Ds start out with the angel rank, no matter their birthplace.
Information about the Angel Rebellion is scarce, as Heaven's authorities have managed to wipe out most records of it, likely to not give people any ideas about making a more successful revolution. It's unknown if The Rebellion was started by one person or if a group was planning this in secret, but even after it became a Heaven-wide event, it lasted for less than three days. The system was disrupted for long enough that some managed to take over a few spaceships and escape - quite a feat, considering the usual rigid control over who can leave. A part of Heaven's special forces has been tasked with tracking the escapees and silencing them, but most of them have managed to cover their tracks.
GaiaNEX is a Gaian social media website. Of course, you can access it only on Gaia, but there are rumors that earthlings can do so too. Posts from people you follow show up chronologically, and you can like, renex (reblog) and reply to them. You can have a normal page, where all things you post and renex show up, or you can make a fanpage if you're a celebrity (small or big), a business, et cetera. You can customize both types of pages by changing colours, altering the code (to an extent), adding a music player and more.
It's the most popular social media on Gaia, and the number of its users is far larger than that of any competitors on the market.
GaiaNEX is banned on both Heaven and Hell, but its userbase doesn't suffer from that in the slightest.
The hierarchy is a system that determines one's power based on either their rank's standing on any of the 'lines', or the strength of their title.
Here are the three main 'lines', which are power structures of sorts, and the definitions of all ranks:
Deity > King/Queen/Monarch > Prince/Princess/Prime
Guardian Angel/Marquis > Angel/Demon
Spirits > mortals-turned-magical (vampires, witches, werewolves etc.)
| Deity - the most powerful beings in the universe, not comparable to gods of real-life religions, they just.. simply have many powers |
| Monarch - they rule over what their title describes, for example a king of hell rules... hell. |
| Prime - they are the descendants of monarchs, may grow up to be a monarch themselves |
| Angel/Demon - beings that inhabit Heaven and Hell, anyone born there has this rank at the start |
| Guardian Angel/Marquis - stronger angels and demons, usually leading their subordinates |
| Spirits - supernatural entities. to explain what they do.. example: forest spirits were created to serve the forest, while guardian spirits guard what they were tasked to guard....yea. |
| Mortals-Turned-Magical - mortals that have learned magic (like witches) or have become imbued with it (like vampires, werewolves) |
| Avatars - embodiments of traits, emotions, and more. do not belong on any line, as it all depends on how strong the thing they embody is. example: avatar of pride |
Anybody who already has any rank can climb the power ladder, like how even a werewolf can advance to the deity rank. To do this, one must either kill someone more powerful and absorb their power, or train themselves to someday become higher on the line. For example, Ren started as a guardian angel dragon, meaning he already had the angel rank, and killed and absorbed more and more powerful people. He didn't have to kill a deity of evil to become one, as after absorbing the power of a deity, he didn't have that deity's title. Rather, he got assigned the 'of evil' title because of his actions.
Speaking of titles... every rank, except mortals-turned-magical, angels and demons, has a specific title to itself. For example, some ranks & titles include: prince of hell, deity of the universe, forest spirit, avatar of pride
Unlike Ren, not everyone gets an automatically assigned title. Michael, despite being a terrible person, retained the 'deity of kindness' rank & title after getting rid of its previous owner. This could've been this way so Michael wouldn't get more powerful, but nobody will ever know the answer, because there is no entity controlling the ranking system. Rather, this is just how this universe works!
