FanFiciton Multiverse: The Emperor-Verse

FanFiciton Multiverse: The Emperor-Verse

Given the nature of my RWBY Reimagined AU, Saints of Remnant, I'm thinking compiling some of my fanfictions in a universe thats inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia which is implied to exist in this universe but never truly touched upon until a major crossover event and even then, its set after The Last Battle so Narnia is long gone, but it vaguely implied and referenced to explain how this multiverse works and even the origins of some worlds along utilizing the theology of my Catholic Faith, The Works of CS Lewis and Medieval Cosmology, since all these things in my opinion can help tie them all together.

The Emperor-Verse(link to the blog is in the title)

The Emperor-Verse is the fanfiction multiverse in which these stories take place, named after the Supreme Deity that rules these worlds The-Emperor-Of-All-That-Is which were created or adopted by The Great Prince and given The Breath of Life

My Catholic Faith along with the works of CS Lewis served great inspiration for this universe, but mostly its a prototype of one of my fictional universes, or perhaps you can call a ‘multiverse’, known as The Loreverse which you can find on my primary blog

And here are some of the titles

RWBY: Saints of Remnant(reimagined)

Code Geass: Lelouch of The Knighood(reimagined, possible placeholder title)

Skullgirls: Reimagined(placeholder name, need to think of something more fitting)

Bionicle: A Tale of Hope(reimagined)

Fate/Defiance(Fan Sequel to Unlimted Bladeworks)

Skeleton Knight in Another World: The Order of The Sacred Blood(alternate sequel)

BlazBlue: Alterized Fate(reimagined)

D.Gray-Man: Encore(reimagined)

There may be more in the future

It may feature a crossover involving five characters, two from our world which shares the same world as Fate in this case, jumping from world to world and bring some other characters across worlds depending on the situation

Now you’re probably asking

“Why are you doing this?”

Mostly because like I said, its a prototype of concepts and stories which these franchises I’m using I take heavy inspiration from, which will most likely become there own things mostly for The Lorverse.

If I used The Loreverse which I plan to make money on, it might lead to legal issues and I don't want that to happen.

“Why are you using your Religion?”

Mostly due to it being a strong foundation, notably theology, for most of my stories, there are many strong foundations of storytelling, religion, history, you can even fantasize science if you put the imagination, time, and effort into it.

After doing some soul searching and listening to the Narnia books on Audible, which Narnia is implied to exist, or I should say had existed, in this universe, and I might include elements of CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy

The multiverse takes these universes and blends them into my faith and its theology, and even uses medieval cosmology, and makes them more like swashbucklings epics and fairy stories.

“Isn’t this kind of entitled and disrespectful?”

Disagreement isn’t necessarily malicious, and entitlement is not inherently bad if its your opinions and subjective feelings which people are entitled to.

Tolkien was heavily inspired by his distaste for how Shakespeare handled certain concepts, such as the Ents when he was upset and dissatisfied that there were no walking talking trees in the Enchanted Fortest of Macbeth, and the Valar Aule the Smith and the origin of the Dwarves make him something of an Anti-Prometheus

Not to mention Philip Pullman, the author of His Dark Materials Trilogy, made it out his distaste how CS Lewis made the Chronicles of Narnia and his overall beef with Christianity, and nobody seems to take issue with that.

I’m not trying to spite anyone, I’m not trying to spite Monty Oum with my RWBY Reimagined AU, Especially when I never knew the guy, and that can be said with the other AUs I’m not trying to change canon or its “trajectory” whatever that means in this context. I’m not saying Pyrrha and Arkos and the current direction of RWBY post V3 was objectively bad, just not my taste, I expected it to be more like Star Wars or Avatar the Last Airbender, and ships I wanted akin to Ed and Winry, Han and Leia, Kagome and Inuyasha, I think you get the idea, and I know not everyone who liked it and are fine with how these other franchises turned out is an elitist about it, just in my experience, there were people who were. And I won’t touch upon the ships I have a beef with on this blog either.

And I’m not saying any of the franchises I’ve been covering are all objectively bad, even when they use concepts or take directions with them I don’t like due to personal tastes and preferences and “personal emotional beats”, I have my reasons for them just as you all have reasons for yours.

I am making these AU stories, which will eventually be revamped into original stories because looking back on them, their worlds, characters, concepts, ships I wanted, and other ideas all could have been in stories I believe are worth telling and I was disappointed and frustrated that they weren’t. That’s it.

Yeah, it may also be due to subjective and personal feelings, at least so I’ve been told, but I try to integrate that in a meaningful way. Once again, I have my reasons for them as you all do for yours.

“But isn’t this crossover and multiverse stuff, especially if your including Narnia and your religion kinda cringe?”

It’s mostly because helps organize my stories and gives a stable foundation when reimagining these stories, notably the magical nature of each world such as the nature of Remnant(Aura, Semblance, Faunus), Geass, Blue(BlazeBlue), Bionicle mysticism, and so-on and so-forth as different configurations of Deep Magic

I’m also utilizing medieval cosmology as Lewis did to explain the multiverse by organizing with every universe being a “Sphere” and our world, blended with the Fate Type Moon universe for practical purposes, being “The Firstborn Sphere” and the outermost sphere being Heaven or some had called “Aslan’s Country” or as its called in this Multiverse “The Great Empire” which also can be applied to the multiverse itself aka The Great Cosmic Sphere. and Hell or also known as “Tash’s Country” or “The Netherworld” exists completely outside of the multiverse 

As well using the Biblical Story of Genesis as a basis especially with Adam and Eve’s connection to many sentient species of the Multiverse.

Now personally when it comes to my faith, I can live with either creationism or theistic evolution, just anything besides outright materialism.

All of this just helps tie everything together...

And like I said, all in due time, these will be made into original stories for my original universe.

I can see why people think using my religion and Narnia is cringe due to the creatively bankrupt Pureflix movies are all feel-good with no substance written by mostly I like to call "Joel Olsteens" rather than the works of martyrs and church fathers, or the esteemed medievalist CS Lewis and his friend JRR Tolkien, a hardened veteran who's family and his own life was nurtured by a serious but still merry understanding of the faith.

And I'm not saying I'm on par with these guys, but I feel like if I take cue from them, I can be sincere in my work.

So I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer, which will most likely be put on AO3 and FanFiction.Net, and who knows, I might get a few artists to commission to redesign some characters or illustrate some scenes if anyone is up for it.

reblog if you think premature babies are worth saving

It’s more like they’re assuming there’s nothing valuable and meaningful they we can make out of it, wether it’s an AU or we recycle elements for our own original stories that go the way we want

Not every RWBY fan is like this, but there’s certainly a small but obnoxiously loud contingent within fandoms who want what they like to be the end-all-be-all and have every reason in the world for what they like and dislike and everyone else are a bunch of dumb peasants

They talk the talk why Pyrrha and Arkos being tragic works, but it’s often for moral self aggrandizement and disgust for those who differ from them

Which again, not saying every fan who liked it is like that, and nor am I saying that direction is objectively bad, just that some use it to flaunt their tastes and sneer at everyone else

"Pyrrha and the rest of JNPR are based on tragic martyrs! How can you write a well-earned happy ending in your reimagined AU!?"

Me: *currently stuffing dying-and-rising figures into them like suitcases* Yeah and Pinocchio doesn't die, become a real human, and die again and Lampwick doesn't stay human and get eaten by a monster, yet here we are.

Been listening to the Narnia books and I’m near the end of Prince Caspian

Narnia is free therapy and inspiration

It's kinda more than jus that, the White Fang is corrupt, but its not that easy to spot due to its branches in the North, West, and East which are doing a pretty good job, West taking more pacifist role because that alone is enough to sway the west,

The North they are taking a more physical route fighting corrupt higher ups and the anti-Faunus militia The Kriegsratten Korps(They allude to the Rats in The Nutcracker plus allusions to Nazis) except the SDC which isn't the bad guys in this one(they're more like a once great relatively big but local company but not doing so well now), that actually goes to Watts and his Conglomerate, Gigawatts Robotics(But I'm gonna ramble right off topic for that)

The South, well Vacou really doesn't have that problem so the WF just oversees its progress

But the main branch in the East reeks of corruption by the demagogue Sumire Kuroko, Blake and Adam's abusive sensei(and Adam's 'surrogate mother') and my Canon!Adam substitute who's using the situations in the other parts of the world to distract the other branches as she plans to corrupt the WF from the inside-out so she can use it for selfish political power and has even more twisted intentions for her pupils to live out her sick fantasy, let's just say she herself was an ex-lover of Blake's late father Ghira when they were young...

Blake and Adam are aware and seek to kick her out, but Adam doesn't want outside help while Blake does, and it strains their relationship they start arguing with each other, thus she takes off, and later it takes team RWBY fighting Adam to prove him they can.

I'm using Toa Tahu from Bionicle as a basis as he was known to have his heart in the right place, but was hot-headed, headstrong, and kinda a jerk to those outside his tribe such as his fellow Toa until his encounter with the Rahkshi and recovering knocked some sense into him.

And when Adam joins the good guys, I was actually thinking about shipping him with Yang, his stoic no-nonsense and occasionally hammy personality complementing Yang's flirtatious "Party-Girl" attitude and Blake and Adam both being "Beast" figures, one feminine and one masculine, and Sun and Yang being "Beauty" figures, also being respectively masculine and feminine, and the couples could play off each other pretty well.

That and the White Fang and Adam over the story become so much more, I'm using "The Chronicles of Narnia" as a basis, which I'm listening to and near the end of Prince Caspian

Been working on my reimagined AU and its quite unorthodox and I'm not sure you would like it, but I think it would just make more sense of make Blake and Adam more like brother and sister and make him an initial antagonist turned ally just looking at the story, world, and characters in retrospect and what they could have been.

Oh absolutely. I don’t mind Tauradonna but I prefer a platonic relationship between the two that emphasizes the broken mentor/student dynamic.

Adam becoming a terrifying enemy and then reforming to become an ally - all the while pushing those around him to confront their internal biases - is my bread and butter. Keeping him involved in the story and taking him seriously opens the door to flesh out the WF plot and Blake herself.

From what you’ve described, it doesn’t sound unorthodox at all for an AU, but no doubt there are worldbuilding and other aspects you left out :)

These people are trying to show off to everyone saying

"Look how hopeful and courageous we are in spite of tragedy and suffering!"

They see themselves as Nietzsche's Übermensch and gotta show it off to everyone, as opposed to those who like this stuff honestly.

I think its to convince themselves, if you gotta brag about something, you probably don't posses the quality.

People who truly take these things to heart let their actions be their words, only speak of it when asked, and are often humble about it.

It's what I've heard about the toxic Steven Universe fandom, they preach its morals yet act absolutely deplorable rather than act on these principles.

"Pyrrha and the rest of JNPR are based on tragic martyrs! How can you write a well-earned happy ending in your reimagined AU!?"

Me: *currently stuffing dying-and-rising figures into them like suitcases* Yeah and Pinocchio doesn't die, become a real human, and die again and Lampwick doesn't stay human and get eaten by a monster, yet here we are.
