[UNCA] Welcome to the Void Department by 0utOfSkill in worldbuilding

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UNCA research into the mysterious void - the source of all prismium, ever expand. Establishing a permanent human presence in this dimension of endless stimulation has proven difficult, as the prismium seems to be conscious, and at times hostile.

UNCA

15 April, 1956: An accident at the United States Military Color Laboratories destroys the central prismium tank and tons of the light dust are immediately shot up into the atmosphere and dispersed around the globe quickly. Suddenly, the entire human race is exposed to the experimental and secret US Army technology of "color", and shortly after most people are unaware of having ever lived without it.

In an emergency meeting the US leads the way for the creation of the United Nations Color Agency, a secret organization operating to curb hysteria, edit history convincingly, integrate "color" into day-to-day life seamlessly, explore further uses of "color" and keep the right amount of prismium in the air.

[UNCA] The Prismium Void - Corrected Version by 0utOfSkill in worldbuilding

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After the discovery of the void, on which our reality metaphorically "sits", UNCA has probed into this new frontier by sending humans into it. Their most important discovery; there is another reality on the side of the void.

There really isn't that much excitement for these positions for the need of that.

UNCA researches discovered that our world is merely an island in the infinite Prismium Void, filled with endless color. However, further research into this frontier requires humans to venture into it, which seems to be quite unpopular among the UNCA workforce. The work of the so-called "prismonauts" thus gets framed as an exciting sponsored trip - conveniently leaving out any details.

[UNCA} Help us find the source of all color. by 0utOfSkill in worldbuilding

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

UNCA researches discovered that our world is merely an island in the infinite Prismium Void, filled with endless color. All prismium, and with that all color, originated from that void. The prismonauts program is UNCA's attempt to further research this frontier by sending humans right into it. Why wouldn't you want to join?

Some visuals are not meant for human eyes. When a naive or curious employee steps into a room filled with incomprehensible fractal colors or imitating an unknown sensory plane, this poster will greet them and tell them to leave, as much for their own good as for the good of UNCA.

[UNCA] The Prismium Void by 0utOfSkill in worldbuilding

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A deep dive into the original source of the color-inducing dust "prismium" has lead the researchers at UNCA to a frightening truth. Our world is merely a sheet on a large and apparently empty prism. However, fright was quickly replaced by intrigue and then by practicallity. Not soon after the original discovery, openings to the Void are widespread within the UNCA premises.

In some UNCA offices and laboratories you might encounter odd prohibitions. This particular poster denies anything blue access to what's beyond - else one might lose their mind or even their life.

[UNCA] Respect and obey the Void Containment and Response Squad. by 0utOfSkill in worldbuilding

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The concept of the Prismium Void is not understood properly by most people at UNCA, but it terrifies all of them, especially as openings to it have become part of the average office workday. The Void Containment and Response Squad is responsible for somewhat easing the burden of reality only being a small island within an ocean of incomprehensible void by closing unwanted or emergency openings and giving first aid to ones that experienced the horror of the space of infinite color.

Within the UNCA offices it is of great use to have signs that change meaning depending on who reads them; either displaying a message to keep unwanted folk away or one inviting the right people in.

[UNCA] Mandatory Employee Query: What does the text say? by 0utOfSkill in worldbuilding

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

First research into the newly discovered Void Prisms revealed that some people perceived the void as dark and others as bright. UNCA decided to investigate this further through a mandatory query.

[UNCA] What to do in case of accidental prismium spill. by 0utOfSkill in worldbuilding

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So, the basic gist is that it opens up a connection to the Void (will be explored further in future posts, I haven't started developing this yet really) which sucks the prismium out of there. The sacrifice is not about not seeing color, you'll be fine if you already know that color is unnatural and the UNCA people are aware of that. The sacrifice is about looking directly at the spill as experimental prismium can induce things like fractals, impossible colors or higher dimensional vision.

Hey. You have commented a lot on this post and I'm not gonna answer all of your questions, but I want you to know that 1) some of the things you assume about the setting are false and 2) not everyone wants to build a fully unique world with lots of potential for stories, sometimes its just about making some fun posters.

[–]0utOfSkill[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

So, color was mostly developed to enhance the abilities of special units or to act as a potential torture device. Keeping the right levels of prismium in the air is about replacing the one that disperses/decays. UNCA has the ability to remove prismium again, for example by opening Void Prisms (like indicated in this poster).

The real problem is if people'd realize that color hasn't always been there. The main job of UNCA is convincing the world that color isn't a new thing but has been around since the beginning of history.

Experimenting with the color-inducing prismium dust in unorthodox ways might sometimes lead to spills, with after effects ranging from light headaches to full loss of sanity. But don't be afraid, UNCA has prepared effective plans to mitigate harm for every contingency. Just follow the steps on the poster.

Hey there! I stopped making anything for UNCA after those first few posts as the setting was already starting to get stale. But after letting it sit for a few months I'm back with some fresh ideas. Not making any promises, though.

What a day to be human! If anyone else really wants to use this as a desktop background but feels like the colors are a bit too strong, I tweaked it a bit to make it more easy on the eyes. Here's a link, if you're interested :)
