User:Violetsquare111/Headcanons

here's where i compile all my headcanons for the minecraft/dsmp world :D i originally had these in my computer notes but i decided to just paste them here for simpler formatting and also if anyone wants to check them out. i wrote this kinda formal and very wordy but it's just my dumb thoughts.

if you'd like to use one of these headcanons for art/writing please credit me with a link to this page! (that only applies for significant stuff though, if you're just gonna use a minor detail, or if you're going to change up most of the idea, you probably don't need to credit me.) i did get some of these headcanons from other sources myself though so just make sure you're linking the right person (hcs from other people are referenced and listed in notes at the end).

anyway good luck reading this giant mess of a page lmao

general info

 * terms
 * apothel: a mortal chosen by a deity to be given significant power (from: apotheosis)
 * avatar: an unintended manifestation of a deity
 * augment: a mortal who inherits a small amount of a deity's power, almost always unintentional on the deity's part (from: augmentation)
 * aspect: the thing a deity represents or has control over
 * deities are immortal beings that have power over all servers. deities each have their own aspect and must keep all of the aspects in balance with each other.
 * deities exist naturally untethered to any server, but can choose to visit or live in one.
 * deities did not fully create their aspect. the universe came first, then deities "fleshed out" their aspects into much more intricate things (by creating species, landforms, etc etc).

deities

 * dreamXD (greater deity of creation and divinity; rules the End)
 * most powerful deity, and a sort of ruler of gods. but he doesn't interact much with the others so they're usually free to do whatever
 * drista (greater avatar-deity of chaos)
 * dreamXD's sister and twin. she sort of "split off" from him, and thus technically qualifies as an avatar, but she's much much more powerful and respected than other avatars and is basically just considered another god.
 * unlike her brother, she likes to mess around with mortals. she has absolutely no idea what's going on with them but it's fun to pop in occasionally to cause destruction, give out forbidden items, and make conversation.
 * the blood god (greater deity violence, vengeance, war, and rage; rules the Nether)
 * kristen/mumza (greater deity of death and life)
 * she doesn't actually cause death, she's just in charge of the people that die. she doesn't directly cause life either, but her power does allow things to grow, and if she were gone there would be no new life.
 * she doesn't interfere much with people or the overworld. not out of apathy or anything, she just mostly stays on her own and doesn't want to ruin the natural course of things. but when she can, she does try to help out humans in small ways.
 * she found phil and fell in love with + married him, making him an apothel so he wouldn't die due to age.
 * the prime god (lesser deity of wealth and prosperity)
 * foolish (lesser deity of undying, immortality, and the oceans)
 * clara (lesser deity of the skies, stars, and space)
 * (aka the astronaut girl that tommy talked about while listening to Chirp in exile)

avatars

 * the egg (avatar of the blood god)
 * represents corruption and greed. has no desire other than controlling every living thing it finds
 * dream (avatar of dreamxd)
 * manifested from a small portion of dreamxd's power that seeped into the overworld
 * he's not human at all. his body is just a silhouette with the same texture as an end portal. dream loves to flaunt the fact that he's related to a god
 * dreamXD doesn't like him all that much lol. not so bad that he'll harm dream or interfere, but let's just say he won't be helping dream out of the prison anytime soon

apothels

 * philza (apothel of kristen)
 * married to mumza :D (wilbur isn't kristen's son though, he adopted)
 * the wings aren't from kristen. he was just born a crow/avian hybrid

augments
for a wide variety of reasons, some mortals receive a small amount of a deity's power. it's not nearly enough to consider them avatars or apothels, but it's definitely there. augments are almost always unintentional on both the deity's and mortal's ends. sometimes the augment isn't even aware of their power.

some augments and their powers:
 * techno: augment of the blood god
 * is sustained by combat, becomes weaker if he doesn't fight for long periods of time (weeks or months)
 * he sometimes goes into a blind rage when fighting, in which he's much stronger but also reckless and overly violent
 * he's known he's an augment since around when he was a teenager
 * puffy: augment of kristen
 * she has slight power over plants. this usually manifests as her being unusually good with plants, and them growing faster when she takes care of them
 * she doesn't know she's an augment
 * tommy: augment of the prime god
 * he loves to steal and has a particular affinity for shiny things
 * his luck in finding riches is slightly better than others'. unfortunately, his ability to keep those riches is uh.. less than average
 * he's known he's an augment from a young age. it's why he created church prime :]

chat

 * chat is a sort of fabric of the world itself. many individual consciousnesses that are bound together in one intangible ethereal mass. they're not a god, or avatar, or anything like that, just.... there.
 * they can split off and choose to follow one/a few mortals. most of the time, they aren't able to be perceived by their chosen mortal, but sometimes they manifest in different ways that allow them to communicate.
 * since they watch everything, chat usually knows a lot more than the person they're following does. they aren't able to share certain "spoiler" info, aka info that would cause a massive revelation to the person they're following, but they can share some tips (like a friend's location, or missed diamonds).
 * some ancient people used to worship chat, creating areas where they're much stronger/more prominent. chat manifestations can be created from these areas.

some manifestations of chat on the dream smp:
 * techno's voices
 * many people have experienced chat in the form of voices in their head. voices specifically occur when chat is not only following the person, but also somehow drawing power from them (in techno's case, this comes from the whole "blood" thing) and thus manifests directly to the person.
 * techno's voices aren't the cause of his need for blood - since techno is an augment of the blood god, he is naturally sustained by combat, and the part of chat that followed techno began to feed off combat as well. now the voices demand it and can be super aggressive/overpowering if they aren't sated.
 * phil's crows
 * the crows were originally just normal crows that lived near a temple for chat. due to their proximity, the crows themselves eventually became a manifestation of chat. when phil was exploring and visited this temple, the crows took a liking to him due to his crow-hybrid wings and chose him to follow. phil is the only one who can understand them.
 * ranboo's particles

types of "ghosts"

 * spirit: the general term for someone's essence or being
 * spirit is what retains memories, personality, emotion, and other traits that make up a "person"
 * most of a dead person's spirit is sent to the afterlife, forming a soul. some of their spirit lingers and forms into a ghost
 * souls: dead mortals' spirits, trapped in the afterlife
 * souls are the "real" person, not the fragment/shell that ghosts are
 * ghosts: a remnant of dead mortals' spirits, formed into a being
 * not actually the dead person in question (though they retain some memories and personality traits). ghosts make different choices than their alive self would, and a ghost's experiences are completely unknown to their soul in the afterlife
 * they can't live the normal life that an alive person could. though they do have memories, emotions, and sense of self, they can't truly be happy. they'll always feel a bit hollow or incomplete.
 * some ghosts are visible to living mortals, others are completely invisible except to other ghosts, but every dead person has a ghost in the mortal world

nulls

 * nulls are beings residing in the afterlife that were never actually alive. they don't have a ghost in the living world, nor a mortal body.
 * just like souls, nulls can be brought to the living world, though in this case it's called summoning rather than resurrection. unlike souls, nulls don't have a physical body to return to once summoned; instead, their afterlife form is transported directly to the mortal world giving them unique "ghostly" traits.
 * all summoned nulls share a few traits: slight translucency, cold temperature, glowing white eyes
 * some summoned nulls may have additional powers such as: teleportation, phasing through objects, possession, flying/floating/gliding, creating and destroying "illusion" structures
 * some revived nulls are incredibly powerful and well-known, like herobrine. however, most only get simple powers like phasing/teleporting, or no powers at all.
 * knowledge of nulls is extremely little, as not many people want to revive them (or know how - almost all summoned nulls were brought about by accident). their powers aren't really understood, not even by nulls themselves.
 * herobrine is one of the most powerful and infamous nulls. but not many mortals believe he's real. recorded sightings are few and far between, with most victims either having no evidence, being too afraid to speak up, or simply being dead.
