Fragment Faction: Original 24
Introduction
The Fragments who take care of and nanny the Original 24 Timelines, the first ever conceived and created. They are an incredible piece of living history and art, being the first stories spun by the creator gods in the early years of the known world. However, their status as ancient and unfinished amateur passion projects has left them in various states of disarray - often missing integral pieces that provided structure and stability to the other Timelines and requiring extensive upkeep by their resident Fragments - these characters - to avoid collapse.
Still, much worth is found in the Originals - as they are wholly separate from the Main Timeline, with completely unique magical foundations, stories, and rules. You can read an informational article about the Timelines on the website here.

Alpha
The first Timeline ever created... wholly corrupted by
Bereave's cruel tortures and influence, it now sits in aching shambles.
More Information
Cascade Circe
Though not born as a Frag, Cascade's conquests as leader of the Mercs has elevated him. Once a rough criminal, Alpha has warped him closer to caring.
Preponderant Respite
A Frag taken under the wing of the Rapture Cult - which seeks to destroy Alpha to put it to rest - half-gold from self-harm and always suffering.
Provenance
An apathetic and exhausted Frag, long corrupted by Alpha's radiation and long captured by powerful criminal Cascade Circe.
Beta
A cold and harsh land, filled with alpine forests and glaciers stained red by
centuries of war and bloodshed, where trust is never a given.
More Information
Aite
A needling and snide self-serving Fragment, convinced that the only way to survive in Beta is by accurately predicting people's behavior.
Amirasya
A cold and distant veteran, sick of Beta's wanton, senseless bloodshed and wanting nothing more than to remain safe in his great cities on the seafloor.
Czenete
The strongest in Beta, smiling down at the others - smug and comfortable in the knowledge that none could topple him or disrupt his enjoyment.
Zirconia
A Beta Fragment - and murderer - who puts on a great show of power and intimidation, but who in truth fears for his life more than anything.
Gamma
Once the producer of the Originals' augmetia,
now long-subjugated and owned by the warlords of Beta.

as many tiny sparks of a fractured infinite timeloop.

is its sole Natural Fragment, living now at the COR.

Eta
The most stable of the Originals, in great part due to
an enormous and blistering magic circle none truly understand the extent of.
More Information
Aryl
Though upbeat Aryl has considerable power as owner of most of Eta's companies, he in truth is terribly lonely - abandoned by his fellow Fragments.
Phenyl
Distrusting that Eta is truly safe - believing that its precious magic circle is nothing more than a bandaid over a festering wound - Phenyl refuses to help manage it.
Xylyl
The creator of the magic circle within Eta, and a devoted researcher of its properties - who wishes for nothing more than to be left alone to research.
Theta
Once closed away from all the other Timelines, in recent years
the elusive and secretive Theta has allowed an alliance with Beta.
More Information
Auroza
A cheerful soul who maintained many relationships during Theta's isolation through use of email, though he obscured his true identity to his friends.
Ciroatys
Though Ciro manages Theta's public relations, arranges its festivals, and handles incoming requests, his true heart belongs firmly with Szeretet, his beloved ex.

A vestige of Theta's once-leader, Dumortis, who died long ago. Revived at Vuaria's request, he tries to find a place for himself.
Heera
A shy and easily-flustered assistant to Vivinite, only free of anxiety in the warm confines of Theta's basement community.
Meyp
A bit of a vain and lazy practical mage, an enjoyer of being spoilt and hedonism in turn - comfortable in the security and safety of Theta.
Radiia
One of few who ventures out of Theta's arcing interiors and ceilings to survey the untamed wilderness beyond, dearly in love with the sun and moon.
Szeretet
A reclusive and abrasive Fragment with an army of constructs that he uses to spy on mortals and, supposedly, keep the peace.
Vivinite
The cheerful proprietor of Theta's basement, an underground and sprawling community centered around love and physicality.
Vuaria
Theta's quiet, serious, and world-weary leader that all within ultimately answer to, taking up its torch after Dumortis stepped down.

With most of its Universe Core melted into voidspace,
the people of Iota had to get creative with their limited space and travel....

unto itself, all flesh and bone and blood, determined to protect its residents.
More Information
Aenoxa
Though friendly on the surface, Aenoxa hides a cruel and sadistic streak, feeling safe within Mu's overprotective flesh and enjoying its violence.
Feyrisx
Most Beloved of its Fragments, as decided by Mu itself, Feyrisx manages the sentient Timeline's erratic behavior and keeps it controlled.
Izallvor
Truly distrustful of the sentient Mu, Izallvor has been searching for a Timeline or Fragment that will let him move in under Feyrisx's nose.
