#I got the acronyms confused at first like a dummy but like... They are kinda similar

[crazy-multiverse-junk]

Hi guys! So, you want to hear about my little stories? That’s awesome! I already like you. Things be told though, it would be kinda confusing to send y’all into the near-infinity of the multiverse without a proper introduction. Don’t worry, I’ll be your guide along this tour through eras and parsecs. Hope we’ll have fun! Feel free to perk a glance at the pamphlet right here before we get started:

“What’s with the weird codes?” Oh yeah, you’re probably talking about things like “Ono-B9.2” and the likes. Well, as you probably guessed they are matriculation codes the Great Society came up with around, like, trillions of years ago. Alternate universes are cool, but if you can’t give them a proper name, things might get confusing pretty fast. Hilarious, but not really handy. I mean, I know YOU already have much better names for those, but, well. Gotta keep up with the official content, right? Don’t worry, I’ll give you the translation.

Also, just a little reminder: those “universes”, or “worlds”, or whatever it is you want to name them? The true “official” term the Great Society came up with is “PLANE.” ‘Cause they’re dodecadimensional, so of course to them all the other universes that only have up to three or four dimensions look FLAT.

But yeah, I know you have much cooler names for them. Just remember that the real word is “Plane” if you get to multiversal customs someday, otherwise you’ll look stupid.

“AUs” as you often call them are, though, not really working the way you might think they do. Some of them have been created for various reasons by members of the Great Society and hold in their ID their Creator’s name; followed by “Gen” when it’s the original one, or a number when the guy is stupid enough to make multiple “AUs” at once. Those guys are weird, and not nearly as smart and civilized as they claim they are. It’s just that it’s easier to be “naturally smarter” than most tridimensional beings when you’re dodecadimensional, able to create smaller universes, and live up to five Timesecs. That’s really all there is, really they hardly know anything beyond what they do themselves! The perfect example of their hilarious ignorance is the whole deal about the Onos.

“Ono” is an acronym. Or, well, if it were really just an acronym then it’d be “OON”, but they probably thought that a name sounding like a donkey’s cry isn’t the most dignified they could come up with. So they just rearranged the letters because they’re too dumb to try to find a better tridimensional translation for them. (As a side note, it sounds much better in their own language, but it’s hard to type a dodecadimensional sentence on a classic human keyboard. Anyways, even if you could see how it’s written, your brains would probably get a seizure. Would be funny, but not really the point here.)

Anyway. OON being an acronym, it actually stands for “Out of Nowhere.” Unlike most “inferior” Planes, no member of the Great Society has any idea as to where the heck do those Planes come from. And as if it weren’t enough, those parasites keep splitting every now and then, because apparently whoever is in charge is not doing their job very well. By that I mean… Ah, well. That’s the complicated and boring part, so I’ll just get back to that later. You wanted to know what those IDs referred to, so I’m gonna do that first! Those who want to hear about the metaphysical stuff can just wait for the next article. All you need to know is that all the “Ono” Planes initially came from a single one at first, but that stuff happened, and after that “Ono-Gen” split into dozens of different Onos. The Great Society has recorded 48 of them, by now. Don’t worry though, not all of them are of our interest here.

So! Here’s the list of the Planes that you will hear about in those little tales o’ mine. Notice that the little logos are just the product of Gabby’s imagination, they don’t have any sort of official recognition; we just decided to associate a little symbol to each of them because the codenames alone could be a little too confusing.

Alse-Gen: If I say “Gotta catch’em all!”, guess you’ll see my point. I like that one, good ol’ Arceus didn’t even bother to apply some of the most basic tridimensional physics laws in there.

Askal-Gen: A rather unstable Plane there, and it was basically created by accident by someone who had no idea what they were doing. Things get insane pretty fast in there! Easy when its Creator is insane herself. I heard some of you were calling that Plane something like “Symphogear.” Must be because of that whole song-related mess with magical girls who fight human-hunting monsters by singing. Neat.

Balal-Gen: First off, this Plane doesn’t exist anymore. That’s what happens when you get your Creator angry and then mess with stuff you don’t understand. Second… Well, there’s not much to say about it actually. It’s dead. What could possibly happen to it NOW, eh?

Feydis-Gen: A sweet place with rainbow-colored ponies that was literally made by a four-year-old girl. Well, she was two Mightyars old and a half, but who cares. Same difference. You usually refer to that universe as “My Little Pony”, in case this wasn’t clear enough. I wonder why though. They’re not yours. You guys are weird.

And now to get to the Ono branch: like I said before, they initially were only one, that got split quite a few times through history because of idiots who messed with interdimensional stuff without operating their quantum stabilizer properly— assuming they HAD one, ha. Dummies. They’re pretty similar in the way that they’re all geographically the same: same planets, same continents on Earth, roughly the same species— especially humans. Humans are the dominant species in all of these Planes. To be honest, it’s kinda tricky to tell these ones apart when you only look at the big picture; it’s only when you compare how the human society inside developed that you really see the differences. Planes including countries like Borginia or Zheng Fa, Planes in which France remained a constitutional monarchy, Planes where puzzles are basically part of the local fauna… Lots of stuff, see.

Anyway, to the introductions:

Ono-A1.3β: Welcome home, dummies! At least, well, that’s the Plane I’m in right now, as in the local space surrounding the chair and the keyboard.

Ono-A4: A unique Plane that looks a lot like yours, but in which humans are able to create actually tangible Imaginary Friends. Not gonna expand the physics as to how they’re doing it, although it’s very simple actually. Probably gonna leave that for later, if you ask me to. In case this wasn’t clear enough, this Plane is where Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends is settled in, somewhere in the Pacific Northwest of this Plane’s Earth.

Ono-B2.2β: In this Plane, puzzles are the norm. As in, you can literally come across puzzles while walking in the streets. The guy who created them was pretty eccentric anyway, I tell ya. Well, he still was a nice guy though. Just a little too serious for my taste. This is the homeplane to a certain archaeologist who is also a widely known puzzle solver, a certain Professor Layton.

Ono-B6.8: Aside from the fact that this must be the Ono with the highest magic potential among the entire list, there’s not much to say here. Well— apart from the reason as to WHY it’s got that much magic of course. But I’ll leave that for later. Anyway, this Plane is where the videogame Rhythm Thief got its inspiration from.

Ono-B9.5: This Plane is pretty interesting, to say the least. It holds much more magic than the humans living in there will ever want to admit. And yet they’re surrounded by mediums, monsters, weird old artifacts… Also lots of lawyers, in our case. This Plane is home to that Phoenix Wright guy, among other people.

Ono-C5.4α and Ono-C5.4β: Those two Planes are very similar and split up quite recently, so even the humans living in there are for the most part practically clones. The only thing you could really say to tell them apart is that β has lots of magic while α practically doesn’t have any at all. These are the Planes in which you have among other people certain detectives and thieves, featuring in the mangas Detective Conan (or Case Closed for the official American translation) and Magic Kaitō.
