i highly admire your worldbuilding skills. can you tell us more about your OCs and their universe?

this is probably gonna be a bit lengthy so strap in! (edit: it is very lengthy)

the basics of Voidverse, like I explained earlier, is that there is a group of people tethered to each other by fate and higher forces, the purpose of the Alts is that they are a sort of keeper of balance between worlds and each of them is a sort of savour or hero in their respective timeline/universe. They weren't always aware of each other but when a great danger threatens all multiverses and all life they have to come together to defeat it—they do this with the help of someone called Katalin Huerta who has an ability called The Bridge ie she can create 'bridges' to other timelines/universes from wherever she is.

Technically the main character of Voidverse is Classic the Demon aka Classic, who is sort of a butterfly effect to get both the Alts and the end of the world running. but more about that later, I'll explain the other characters first.

anyway this ended up being super long so added a Read More to not take oevr anyone’s dash akdhsfsfg

Jojo - already explained

Leoh Yu - Leoh aka Badger is probably the most normal Alt out of all of them concidering he's not a demon or any sort of supernatural or sci-fi creature. Leoh grew up in Dazhai, China in the late 1970's to late 1980's with his mother and grandmother where they owned a farm and a bakery. His life took a turn when his mother got very sick and his family couldn't afford good doctors or treatments. at some point in the way of making money Leoh at 18-years-old was approached by a group of hitmen to recruit him, which after some time and thinking he accepted. Leoh worked as a hitman for about 30 years before retiring at age 40 to get married to his now husband Nico Mahariel as well as adopting a babygirl named Qing-Qiu. Leoh's past, however, will not let him go that easy but that's a story for another time.

Tuyja - Tuyja was a prophet of the Goddess Ghalme in an ancient civilisation called the Weykha. the Weykha lived in a sandstone kingdom and it is rumoured that they are where the legends of mermaids and Atlantis came from. Tyuja however was not of the Weykha people, instead she was born from the stars with ocean blue skin and horns made from spacedust. She was regarded as a sort of next in command from the Royal family and was basically treated as an extention of the Royal family (if not even higher than them), which infuriated the jealous Weykha prince. Tuyja had also fallen in love with a servant girl called Muza, which the Prince had used as leverage against her and turned the Weykha people against her, telling them that Tuyja would steal all their gold and jewellery and give it to a servant girl, that he had heard her say she would strip the skies of moon and star so that Muza would shine the brightest, that he had seen her tame ocean waves so that the servant girl could pick sea shells from the sand below. Tuyja had become a threat to the people who had praised her and come to her for guidance, they had banished her into the sea for 5000 years.

Quiet - named after one of my friends because I really like teir name and I've had difficulties naming this character for years, Quiet was born and raised in a lab where they were subjected to varieties of cruel and inhumane experiments going as far as getting permanent damage to their ribs and lungs. in canon Quiet only got their name after joining the Alts, Jojo who became their closest friend nicknamed them Quiet because they're,,, well,,, really quiet. ngl their story and character arc is on the undeveloped side

Lotus Draqon - Lotus is a half-human half-dragon who grew up outside his pack of origin because his mother Jupiter wasn't sure how the Matriarchs would react to Lotus' half-human trait. The dragons are an ancient people of long ago with vast magical abilities and lived in harmony with mortals, sharing their magic with them—until an evil was awakening and the Gods began to tear down entire cities. Mortals expected and begged the dragons to help them survive but the Matriarchs decided to abandon them, priotising the dragon's survival. They lived in isolation and hiding, shielded in a deep forest by magic for thousands of years. until Lotus as a young adult decided it was time for him to leave the nest and see the world. Jupiter was reluctant but Lotus was determined to never again live in fear. In time Lotus would become a very important figure to both the dragon and the mortals inhabiting the lands as dark forces began to matirialise and the Matriarchs became restless, declaring war against mortals.

Voidkeeper - demons are very hard to kill creatures, no regular blade or bullet with damage them much beyond cuts and bruises. the most efficient way to kill a demon is for one to end their own life which by Satan's rule is forbidden. It has happened technically two times but the first one was by a demon now known only as the Voidkeeper. After ending their own life as punishment their horns and tail were cut off, their magic taken away, and they were banished to the Void forever. Slyly they managed to grab some of their depleted magic and put it into a magical stone for safekeeping, it is only a very limited amount but can do very wondrous and powerful things things. The Void grants the Voidkeeper clairvoyance as to what is going on in whichever timeline and universe, they are a sort of silent watcher and will never interfere with the goingonabouts of the mortals. the Voidkeeper has a very minor but very important part to play in regards to the Alts and the saving of all life in the multiverse but for now they are patiently waiting and watching.

and finally there's our boy Class whose story is undoubtedly the most developed out of all of these so let's go through it:

Classic is a minor demon and was born at a time when the Underworld and the Human world were not so separate. He was born in a tiny demon village of about 15-20 inhabitants. His father had left him and his mother when Classic was about three years old and has not been seen since, Classic doesn't know if his father is dead or alive and doesn't really care about it either. Classic was an only child and pretty much a mama's boy, although he had a few friends in his village. Unfortunately his life changed forever at 12 years old when human soldiers pillaged his home, killing everyone—Classic would have been dead as well but his mother used her dying breath to save him with magic.

Classic had been knocked out during the raid but when he awoke he witnessed the aftermath of a bloodbath. Scared and alone and unsure of what to do he ran away from the scene and travelled days across the country until he stumbled upon a town of humans. Wrath overcoming his senses he murdered the entire town, leaving no human alive, going as far as tearing down entire houses and setting the entire place on fire.

Classic was later found in the ruins of that town crying by a group of angels. He was taken by them to a city in the sky and adopted by a family of angels. He wasn't generally liked by his neighbours but the angel child he lived with became his best friend for years to come. They grew up together, learned to use their different magicks together, Classic learned he could even materialise wings and fly albeit badly at first.

But as history has shown, wherever Classic goes, terror follows.

Classic had been having nightmares for months, very terrible ones, of dark forces beyond his understanding. They felt familiar and cruel, almost mocking.

Before he realised what he had done, the angel he spent his childhood with was dead and there was blood on his hands. Just like before, as if on instinct he ran away from the city of angels and went into hiding. Multiple years had passed by now and the human world was very different from what he remembered. It was no longer that easy to stay out of the radar of humans, since they were pretty much everywhere with cameras and police.

To say he was causing issues in the human world would be an understatement. He would steal, break into houses, even kill to survive. Random fires would start and radiation with no apparent source would appear all over.

This is where Katalin Huerta comes in—see, she is a commander of a very special branch of task force, it was her own creation. Her people dealt with supernatural oddities and threats, it was govrrment funded but entirely indepentant from their meddling albeit they can be difficult to please. Katalin was born with special abilities, a sort of family tradition—at birth her soul was bonded with that of a powerful spirit that had once been one with the soul of Katalin's mother. The spirit gave her the ability to control and create fire but her own speciality was her Bridge ability.

anyway, Katalin had taken notice of the strange indicents around town and taken some of her people to go check it out, only to find a teenaged demon crawling in an abondoned factory. She could tell the demon was just afraid and lost and decided to help him. Which is how Classic joined her task force.

Which honestly was probably the best thing that had happened to Classic, Katalin taught him to fight and better utilise his demon magic as well as taught him to use a sword (Classic has never understood guns and will never attempt to). Learning spells with a human was a difficult task but eventually they figured it out. Classic's natural abilities worked very strongly as illusion based magic as well as materialisation, although the latter has been more tricky to master even after all these years so as we speak Classic's only materialisation spells are his wings as well as his sword and teleportation.

Eventually the darkness haunting Classic began to rear its head again, Katalin catches wind of this and fortunately can help him keep it out from his head yet it still lingers in the air and grows stronger.

until now Classic had never before talked about the darkness. but at this point he was cornered and Katalin wouldn't take no for an answer.

At that point in time all Classic knew about the darkness was that it was some sort of ancient entity, it wasn't a demon because its presence felt entirely different from at least the demons Classic was used to. He nicknamed it Ash, as all he could remember from the times it has appeared are the ashes left by roaring embers.

In reality the darkness is one of the five forgotten gods of an ancient people. It was cast aside by the Creator and exiled from the land of gods. The darkness hates mortal life because of the gods' love for them, so it seeks to destroy all that is living. in its weakened state it needs a vessel to succeed and has been corrupting Classic and molding him into that vessel since that day he turned 12-years-old.

Only the Alts can defeat the darkness, whether Ash stays defeated is only a matter of time.

Xiangyuxiangyuan Home Stay, Xiamen City

Xiangyuxiangyuan Home Stay, Xiamen City Hotel, Fujian Commercial Building, Chinese Architecture Photos

Xiangyuxiangyuan Home Stay in Xiamen City

10 Aug 2021

Design: Huang Zhiyong

Location: Dazhai Village, Xiamen, Fujian Province, South East China

Xiangyuxiangyuan Home Stay, Xiamen City

Southern Fujian, located on the southeast coast of China, is the beginning of the “Maritime Silk Road” in history, and has been an important maritime transportation hub since ancient times. Convenient geographical location is conducive to business exchanges with many surrounding regions and countries, so it has accumulated a strong economic foundation and is deeply influenced by foreign cultures. Accordingly, Southern Fujian culture is a mix of traditional Chinese farming culture and foreign cultural influences. This rich and diverse cultural connotation is also fully reflected in its architecture, with very distinctive regional characteristics.

The Xiangyuxiangyuan Home Stay project is located in Dazhai Village, Xiang’an District, Xiamen. Dazhai Village has a history of more than 800 years and sits adjacent to mountains and seas, on flat terrain. New LinkSo, it’s become the inheritance place of the traditional culture of southern Fujian and the gathering place of traditional houses. Nowadays, affected by globalization of the economy and the construction of modern cities and cultures, the traditional houses in Dazhai Village are disappearing day by day. In response, the question of how to use traditional old buildings as carriers for retaining the rural memories of Southern Fujian, while reactivating its quaint villages through the power of design, has become a topic of time and locality.

Xiangyu Xiangyuan B&B is composed of two parts, the old and the new. The old part is a traditional house with a century-old history that has been carefully transformed into the core space of the entire building. The new part is a contemporary architectural style composed of steel, glass, and brick. The new and old parts collide and blend, revealing the designer’s thoughts on the transformation of rural old buildings and the regeneration of abandoned resources.

These traditional buildings are a typical representative of traditional dwellings in Southern Fujian. The main structures of the buildings are mostly Chinese traditional wooden frames, with building facades made of red bricks and red tiles, and “Yingshan” style roofs (a traditional Chinese building type for roofs). Both ends of the roof curve slightly upward, using light and flexible “swallowtail” methods.

These original traditional buildings have collapsed to varying degrees. The collapsed part of building No. 1 is the first half of the building and the west side room of the atrium. The cornerstone on the west side is irregular. The designer uses a compromise design in the collapsed area. A simple geometric building was built at the collapsed place to form a fusion with traditional architecture. The simple and pure geometry endows the old building with enough support and also highlights the readability of the traditional building.

The collapsed location of building No. 2 is the hall and the front half of the kitchen. The original wooden roof frame is almost collapsed, and there is a nearly collapsed gate. The two side rooms in the middle have also collapsed. The designer directly used steel structures in the hall and the left room to support the original wooden structure. The facade adopts a large area of floor-to-ceiling windows to meet the light quality requirements of the indoor space. The traditional roof is in sharp contrast with the transparent glass, which gives the traditional house a lighter expression.

Building No. 3 is mainly constructed of strips and blocks of stone, so it is still very stable after a hundred years, revealing no particularly serious damage. It has been evaluated by professional organizations and meets the reliability requirements of current national standards, but it still needs to be reinforced to avoid future troubles. To address that issue, the designer adopted an inner steel structure method for partial treatment and repair. In terms of interior design, the designer draws upon a modern interpretation of traditional Chinese architectural materials at the core, and carries out the interior design of three century-old buildings from the three directions of wood, stone, and porcelain.

Wood, throughout the history of human construction, was a renewable material obtained from a wide range of sources. Wood is the most widely used material in the Xiangyu Xiangyuan B&B space for various presentations such as furniture, flooring, and installations. It reflects the strong plasticity and artistic sense of wood, and it reflects the designer’s sustainable design idea. As a natural construction material, stone has solid and natural characteristics. The overall space atmosphere of Xiangyu Xiangyuan B&B is highlighted through the redesign and application of stone. Porcelain is the most low-key material in the entire space, hidden within a modern form, expressing respect for the century-old buildings.

Whether it is architectural design or interior design, designers focus on traditional buildings, and modernize them through repairs and additions, and edit Southern Fujian traditional houses. Let residents and foreign tourists experience the agile changes brought about by the design concept infused with contemporary sustainability, and further understand the Southern Fujian culture.

Remember your favorite fairytale that took place in a magical landscape with mystical beings? If you’ve always wanted to visit one of those places, then I can only recommend Guilin in China (no mystical beings though).

Wonderful landscapes in Guilin and Xingping

When you think about China, Beijing and Shanghai probably come to your mind first. But the majestic country has so much more to offer than crowded cities. I recommend that you plan a few extra days on your trip so that you can make it all the way to Guilin.

How to get to Guilin

The city is located in the southeast of China and can be easily reached by train from Hong Kong. Here the high speed trains G311/312 run between Hong Kong West Kowloon Station and Guilin West Station. At 12go.asia you will also find some train connections.

The whole trip takes about 3 hours and costs 379 CNY. You can also book flights from Beijing or Shanghai. From Shanghai, for example, it takes 2:40 hours to land in Guilin. You can compare and book the flights easily on Skyscanner.

Guilin is actually only the starting point to discover the famous rice terraces of Longsheng and the beautiful landscape of the Karst Mountains on the Li River. I spent a total of 4 days here and will show you the best way to organize your trip. 3-4 days is the ideal time to explore everything without stress.

Overnight stay in Guilin – our hotel tip

The Guilin Central Hostel is the perfect base from which to plan your excursions. As the name suggests, it is centrally located and right next to a huge selection of street food and shops.

The hostel offers all tours in the area at fair prices. Booking through the hostel was more than convenient and you can also meet great people to travel with. You can also find more accommodation in Guilin here.

Guilin: Tours and tickets

Longsheng Rice Terraces

For the first day I recommend a tour to the village of Dazhai. From here you can spend 5 hours alone (or with your group of new friends) exploring the rice terraces and learning a little about the locals. They will want to show you their traditional clothes – a picture with it is worthwhile in any case.

From April to June the rice fields are watered and the sun is reflected in the standing water. If you want to see the terraces in lush green, July to September is the best time.

Longsheng Rice Terraces

After the beautiful hike you’ll pass a few fruit stands, can admire rare fruit and meet your driver again, who’ll take you back to Guilin.

Don’t forget your solid shoes and a charged camera! During the hike it can get very warm, so it’s best to use the onion technique for clothing.

Now you have a second night in the hostel, so you can start the next part of the trip full of energy on the next day.

Xingping on the Li River

Now to the real highlight in the area around Guilin: the Karst Mountains – a picturesque landscape on the Li River. So picturesque that it is even printed on the 20 yuan bill. And best of all: you can visit the exact place that inspired the painter.

First of all: Many tourists come to Guilin and then book a tour to Yangshuo to see the mountain landscape. But Yangshuo is very touristy and therefore I recommend you to travel directly to Xingping.

For this you book a boat tour – with a classic bamboo raft you sail along the river and I promise you, you will be in awe. When the raft docks, Tuk Tuks will be ready to take you to Xingping. The easiest way to book the tour is at the Guilin Central Hostel and the staff will tell you exactly how to get to Xingping. Most of the group from the raft will go on to Yangshuo, but don’t let this confuse you.

On the way to the river tour many Chinese women will want to sell you wreaths of flowers. I rarely let myself be talked into something, but these wreaths look so beautiful and look perfect on photos in the fairytale landscape.

When you arrive in Xingping, all you have to do is go to your hostel: This Old Place International Youth Hostel is a great place to spend a night or two. The view is also fabulous, there is a roof terrace and the restaurant offers fresh pizza from a wood-burning oven (if you ever need a break from Chinese food). From here you can explore the area and fill up your memory card.

View from This Old Place International Youth Hostel

The village itself is picturesque and it is worth taking a little tour and sampling local specialities. If you are looking for souvenirs, you will find them here.

For the first day in Xingping two friends and I decided to visit the Old Fishing Village. It’s described by the hostel as a two-hour hike – we took much longer as we didn’t know where we were half the time. It is an exciting hike – the trail is lined with orange and pomelo trees and you are almost alone. However, I only recommend the tour if you speak some Chinese, otherwise it might be a bit difficult.

Orange trees

The Fishing Village is not really a fishing village – only a few small houses and the locals try to charge admission. Here you just have to ignore the shouting and sneak in a few meters further. Then you have to find the right way uphill and over the mountain back to the Xingping village. A successful adventure with amazing views, if you are ready to be far away from tourism.

Less adventurous, but just as beautiful, can be a trip on a bamboo raft if the first trip to Xingping wasn’t enough for you. A must is a hike on the Laozhai Hill. From here you can see the whole hilly landscape and ask yourself if this is real or if you are in a wonderful dream. The ascent takes about 40 minutes, depending on your fitness. The view is breathtaking at any hour!

Bamboo raft

View from Laozhai Hill to Xingping

Now we got one more highlight left in Xingping – the picture of the 20 yuan bill. You can easily walk there. On the road there are signs pointing towards the viewpoint. About 15 minutes by foot and you can compare the bill with the original!

As you can see, the landscape around Guilin has a lot to offer. If you are a bicycle fan, you can rent a bike in Yangshuo and explore the area. Whether hiking, on the river or by bike, a trip to Guilin will be remembered forever.
