Common terms and vocab you may see used in the RP! Just for reference. List may be added to as RP progresses!
✗ Adstringéndum: The world created from the compressed state of time, where the inhabitants of different universes find themselves. Named after the Latin word for "compression". Common nicknames include Adstring, Adstri, and AD.
✗ Animus: Spirits stuck in the compressed world. Known to be easily angered and often meddle in the affairs of others to varying degrees. Cannot be seen, only felt.
✗ Equator, The: The invention of the Unified Universe Project that rewrote the equation for Time and Space, compressing time and creating Adstringéndum.
✗ Portable Communication Device (PCD): This is the palm pilot-like device given to everyone who arrives. For more information on these devices, please see the In-depth FAQ.
✗ Safezone: The area within a 20 mile radius of The Equator. It is relatively stable (though nothing is perfect) and is where most people are currently living and trying to rebuild. For more information on the Safezone, please see the In-depth FAQ.
✗ Unified Universe Project, The: The group of scientists that created The Equator. Currently trying to fix things, though in the process they further play with the make-up of existence.
✗ Wastelands: The devastated vastness beyond the Safezone. Constantly changing as different worlds compress and try to overtake one another. Strange beats have been known to prowl, malformed combinations of species that should have never existed in the same space. For more information on the Wastelands, please see the In-depth FAQ.
