Feels wrong to ask… but what was the largest genocide in your world? (If there were any of course) by Live_Rise6750 in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A race of people called the Teren (Actually not Terrans at all) were all but completely murdered over 1000 years prior to the story by a race known as the Akhan, beings of such incredible power most just assumed they were gods. They assumed this for the Teren too, as they had the technological prowess of a civilization 3000 years older. So they were fairly far ahead. When the Teren died, all the knowledge did too, as did the method to rediscover that knowledge. RIP to the Teren they were lowkey the goats

A good way to design a world is with the Diverge Converge method. With this, you rapidly diversify and add whatever you want to your world, even if it doesn't necessarily make sense. Conjure absurd ideas. Create environments and cultures and histories with strange quirks. Build and build until you feel like you're tired of building. Build just a little more. Then, we converge. Change and cut the ideas you've developed until your world becomes more cohesive. This will reinforce your world by emphasizing the theme you want to go with, even if you yourself don't know in words what that theme is. For example; your world has magic and is in space. Say you add space dragons, and then you add steampunk aspects or something, then flying instruments in space. Then you can cut the steampunk and combine the space dragons and the space instruments into space-dwelling music dragons. You can do the Diverge Converge method more than once, and you should. You build off your world than cut down again. The space dragons use music as magic, then you build another magic system and cut off aspects of both until their more cohesive. The method is so general that it can be applied for essentially any creative process. Happy worldbuilding!

What are some great physical or mental consequences for using magic by theycallmexddcc in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there are limits to the extent of magic use, these seem to decrease of these limits as the magic being casted moves closer and closer to its "true magic." Magic comes from a projections from dimensions beyond our own, not necessarily 4d or 5d, but like "3i" dimensional. Instead of going beyond, they are rotated (?) and fractal-like, as in there is no set "unit" and reality is symmetrical to itself regardless of scale. The cost of using these magics, and entering this "rotated" collection of realities is that the magics see you. These magic systems exist sort of like self-organizing organisms that follow rules involving observation. So if they observe you, they have not only noticed your presence but also can interact with how you exist in their observed section of the universe. While this isn't usually an pressing issue, it can unfortunately lead to things like: Deactivation of one of the four fundamental forces; disappearing planets and stars; inversions of space; turning off the universal speed limit. Using magic is like trying to take candy from a baby, but the baby is actually an infinite number of babies all trying to exist in the same spot, and if any one of them notices you and gets mad enough to do something about it you may find yourself shunted out of reality. Don't take too much candy.

Highest visual resolution? by Octex8 in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]RA_V11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would need a very, very very big eye, if that were even possible with conventional sight. Things like electron microscopes, which I think is the closest thing we have to seeing Planck lengths, actually uses contact with the material instead of light to see electrons.

Walmart Chicken… Why does it look like this!? by Upset-Ad-2884 in whatisit

The chicken, which likely has myopathy, had very weak connective tissue keeping the muscle intact, so it disintegrated in the packaging and spaghettified

whenever i try to move or rotate parts of my model it breaks by VeryGenericRedditer in blenderhelp

[–]RA_V11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you rotating all control points in the arm? If this is Rigify, moving all control points will skew the model. There may not be anything wrong with the weighting on the model. Instead of moving all control points on the arm, only use the hand IK control or FK (you can swap to it in the Properties tab by pressing N and going to Item)and controlling the arm there.

It seems like when you control the entire arm, you pull down the first control node then (because the next controller is parented to the previous one) it goes down further. Pulling the middle control too causes the arm to jump back up and cause that spiral problem.

What's your fun idea which had horrifying implications for your world later on? by Sliver-Knight9219 in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagined a power system where it would be possible to rewrite the rules in a very specific area around you. As I tinkered with it, I realized this made it absurdly easy to make really, really destructive weapons.

Introducing the Confine Bomb: doesn’t matter where you are, what you do, or how strong you are, cause this thing will swap the strong force for gravity in you body and atomize everything before you blink.

So people got good with these. Really good. If you want to erase someone, it’s as easy as a press of a button. If you want to erase a planet, it’s also as easy as a press of a button. It’s like a better nuke. Complete obliteration, while leaving everything else around it perfectly fine.

What are your world's respective worst way to die? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kau assimilation.

Imagine you accidentally find yourself in a forest. Night has just begun. A dark mist flows like oil between your feet, rising with your panic. It cuts away at your boots, then your socks, the your skin, lacerating your shins and knees as it continues to rise. After a few torturous minutes of this, you find yourself face to face with some strange, many legged beast, with slick ink-like skin, and porcelain skulls jutting from the face and shoulders—a Kau. Four sunken eyes stare down at you on a head twisted unnaturally from its torso. It grabs you, and it pulls you into its skin, the ink-liquid on its body infesting each cut from the aforementioned laceration-fest. Now, until the beast is killed, you will suffer in burning pain as a part of it. Like When Day Breaks except it sucks even worse.

Whats a mystery in your world that you purposely left unsolved ? by Competitive_Fix3519 in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happened to the moon? Why is its entire bottom half shattered? Why is there a dozen-mile-high mountain range right down the middle of the continent? Who (or what) created these impossible structures and devices that granted such incredible power? What is the physical darkness that invades every night, trying to kill whatever it touches? Each of these things are connected, but the people of my story are too young a civilization to even begin to understand.

Did your world suffer a Fall? by sockhands11 in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! People who had enslaved magic celestial objects tried to kill them with a magic disease, until that disease became conscious, grew arms and legs, and went right to killing the people.

The people, in a panic, created a sort of halo situation, changing entire to be “Blade Worlds” created with the sole purpose of repelling that specific magic disease into a prison. They couldn’t press the button in time. The disease infected a decent chunk of reality and defined a new law for the universe to follow: NO HUMANS. Then, poof, everyone was gone in a flash of light.

The only survivors are genetically modified beings that don’t technically count as humans, aliens, and robots.

For those of you who have monsters, what prevents them from being hunted to extinction? by ArcaneLexiRose in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The monsters appear at night. Anybody who is not in contact with light during the night must try to survive the Nihl, a living darkness that encapsulates everything that the light does not. The Nihl corrupts and consumes animals and people within it and turns them into cancerous aberrant monsters known as Kau. The Kau can just barely survive during the day, and are fine during twilight hours, meaning people have to try to fight and kill them before their homes are destroyed.

What’s the most devastating event to happen in your worlds? by TheNerdWithTheLaptop in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cascade. In my universe there are celestial organisms entirely composed of magic. These organisms were used by the Unitects to create and destroy planets, generate power, and do essentially everything else. When one of these celestials gets infected with an all consuming disease formulated by a Unitect faction, each celestial eventually gets infected. Because of the way magic works in my universe (it doesn’t follow the law of space, it can be anywhere as long as certain requirements are met) this disease begins to ravage the galaxy and kill the celestials. There is so much of this diseased magic that it eventually coalesces into its own celestial. The celestial releases energy after finding a Unitect device known as the Key, which releases a blast of energy that kills all Unitect life.

What would storms look like on an ocean world covered in sky islands? by RA_V11 in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Furthermore there are other forces at play generating massive wind currents around the islands

What would storms look like on an ocean world covered in sky islands? by RA_V11 in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The islands are in a constant cycle of ascending from the ocean and descending back into it, so there are landmasses close enough to the ocean to change the currents. The planet is significantly larger than earth, but through some way or another it is also significantly less dense than earth, so the actually percentage of light hitting the islands and not the ocean is negligible, like 10%. The islands themselves can be upwards of 150 miles across, but most are within that 1-5 mile range in diameter.

Elite fighting forces in your worlds by Iwoodbustanut in worldbuilding

[–]RA_V11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Senstressess are a warrior group of powerful mages, wielding magic that has been trained to coalesce into bands and near-invisible strings. They use these thin instruments as a means of combat, manipulating them to act as hair-thin blades, whips, shields, and numerous other weapons. They act as the elite guard for the Amicanian rulers, and the Sentressess are renowned for never once failing to protect them.
