SETTING:

  • [cool name here]: A giant semi-conscious firefly in orbit around the Earth, who's light serves as a new sun now that the Earth has long since abandoned its solar system. The headquarters of the XIIIth Foundation are built on the side. Commonly referred to as the sun (old habits die hard).
  • Earth: Ejected out of the galaxy for reasons which have long since been forgotten. A lot has gone down here, but it's starting to get better.
  • [cool name here]: Manned vessel/spear used to kill the Moon (literally shot through it). Remains in orbit as a new moon, though the spirit of the old lingers.
  • The Beller: The remnants of the orbital megastructure used to launch Earth out of the Milky Way. Non-functional. Shaped like a ring with engines attached to the sides. Named after a mythic wanderer.
  • The Moon's Phasmic Spine: Ghost of the dead Moon. Vengeful for humanity's crimes against its divinity.

GROUPS:

  • The XIIIth Foundation: Imagine a group of larpers who only know of the Foundation through exaggerated, mythic recounts of their actions, and the cumulative history various attempts to remake the group have created. That's who these guys are. They're well meaning but Don't Exactly Get It. Intend to contain anything deemed a threat to humanity.

CHARACTERS:

idk we'll figure this out

    • [name] (wields the Memorial to Prometheus, a weapon based on that of SCP-2970)

OTHER STUFF:

setting is 20 apocalypses in the future

Earth has been fucked many times over but it's recovering and a bright future is emerging

shit's wild

it's Anime

I guess the biggest immediate theme would be a dying hauntology one of the past still remaining but slowly falling apart while a new world emerges, with strands of that past (the XIIIth Foundation and the Phasmic Corpse of the Moon) still clinging on for control

That and probably attempts by people to exploit this world before it has fully formed

It's a fresh start but anyone could interfere and anything could return

That feels like the most appropriate direction to take thematically

optimistic tone
(darker stuff still permitted as long as it doesn't break the overarching ethos)

generally expected to be Batshit no matter what (being normal is for cowards)

sub-canon to Competitive Eschatology — anyone can write for it (obv after the contest)

  • loose continuity (as long as people adhere to the general setting and themes they can do whatever)

references to other canons/groups/whatnot can be made

  • not to be overdone, though; this project is about moving on from the past, not bringing it back

OTHER OTHER STUFF

  • "Humanity" in the modern sense of the word no longer exists. In the future post20-apocalyptic landscape what "humanity" refers to is the humans, human-adjacent life, and other entities that have coalesced into the sum of sapient (and post-sapient) life on Earth. The exact distinctions stopped mattering a while back; everyone is used to the difference. For that matter, what it means to be "human" or "non-human" is a concept that has fallen by the wayside.
  • The concept of anomalies is outdated. While Foundation fanatics will still try to construct new rubrics for what qualifies as anomalous, for the most part nobody has cared about it for thousands of years. Among those such as the XIIIth Foundation, anomalies only qualify as whatever poses a perceived threat to humanity (that can also be suitably locked up).
  • Normalcy is dead in the water. It's never coming back.
