The Multiverse
The Mythology
In the beginning, there was sound - pure, infinite frequency that shaped reality itself. Every dimension hummed with its own unique resonance, a cosmic symphony that held the multiverse together. But from the silence between notes, a darkness emerged: NULL, the enemy of all sound, who sought to erase every frequency from existence.
NULL's army of Mutes spread across the dimensions, implanting Mute Chips that silenced entire worlds. One by one, the realms fell quiet. Earth-Null became a gray wasteland. Tauron-9's molten forges cooled. Aethereyes' storms went silent. The multiverse was dying.
But from the ashes of Earth-Null, a voice rose - Mr. H0rrible, a cybernetic android warrior with six wings and a Resonance Engine burning in his chest. He gathered three other outcasts: Baphonex the minotaur bass-warrior from Tauron-9, Aethon the eagle storm-shredder from Aethereyes, and Lionvast the lion drummer from Silence Prime. Together, they are A WHOLE NEW BEAST - the resistance that will make the multiverse scream again.
Chronicles
The multiverse was born from a single, infinite frequency. Every dimension hummed with its own unique resonance. Creatures of pure sound roamed the realms, and the cosmic symphony kept reality in balance. Music was not art - it was the fabric of existence itself.
From the void between dimensions, NULL emerged - a being of absolute silence who despised all sound. He forged the Mute Chips, devices that could drain the resonance from any living thing. His army of Mutes swept across the dimensions, silencing world after world. The multiverse began to die.
Earth-Null fell first - its cities turned gray, its people reduced to hollow shells. Tauron-9's forges went cold, its miners enslaved. Aethereyes' eternal storms weakened. Silence Prime became a graveyard of dead sounds. The multiverse was almost completely muted.
In the ruins of Earth-Null, a voice broke through the silence. Mr. H0rrible, an android warrior with a Resonance Engine in his chest, rallied the scattered survivors. He found Baphonex in Tauron-9's slave mines, Aethon in the lightning wastes, and Lionvast in the graveyard of sound. The resistance was born.
Aboard their sentient warship ZERO ONE, the four warriors launched their assault on NULL's regime. From dimension to dimension, they fought to restore sound to the multiverse. Every battle, every riff, every drumbeat was a act of rebellion. The war for sound had begun.
The battle rages on. NULL's forces grow stronger with each silent world they consume. But so does the resistance. With every dimension they liberate, the Beast grows more powerful. The final confrontation approaches - and the multiverse will either scream again, or fall silent forever.
The Multiverse
The Silent City
A once-thriving metropolis now reduced to a dystopian gray wasteland. The Mute Chips implanted in every citizen have drained all sound from the city. Buildings stand like tombstones, and the streets echo with nothing. This is where Mr. H0rrible was born - and where the resistance began.
"Silence is Peace" — NULL's regime motto
The Molten Arena
An industrial lava forge world where massive slave mines stretch across the molten landscape. The minotaur warriors of Tauron-9 were forced to fight in the arenas for NULL's entertainment. Baphonex escaped the mines, but his brothers remain captive. He fights to free them.
"Fire tempers steel. Chains forge rebellion."
The Lightning Wastes
A dimension of eternal lightning storms where the sky crackles with visible sound waves. The Storm Nest, a fortress of crystallized lightning, sits at the center of the realm. Aethon was born here, his eagle senses attuned to every frequency in the tempest.
"In the storm, we find clarity."
Graveyard of Sound
The place where dead sounds go to rest. Ghostly music notes drift through the air like specters, playing fragments of melodies that will never be heard again. Lionvast, a drummer who could hear the dead beats, found his rhythm here among the fallen sounds.
"Every note that dies, lives here."
Space Between Dimensions
The complete void between dimensions. Absolute darkness. No sound. No light. No time. This is where NULL retreats to recharge his power, and where the Mute Chips are forged. Few who enter The Hollow ever return - those who do are never the same.
"Here, nothing exists. Not even you."
Record World
A dimension made entirely of music. The ground is vinyl, the sky is album art, and every groove contains a universe of sound. This is where the greatest music of the multiverse is pressed into eternal records. NULL wants to scratch it all.
"Every groove tells a story."
Sound Dimension
A dimension where sound is visible. Every frequency has a color, every beat has a shape. The landscape shifts with the music - bass notes create mountains, treble creates rivers of light. This is where Mr. H0rrible's Resonance Engine was first activated.
"See the sound. Hear the light."
War World
A dimension devoted entirely to war. Massive fortresses stretch across the landscape, and armies clash in eternal battle. NULL uses Arsenal Prime to build his Mute armies and weaponize silence. The resistance must conquer this world to stop NULL's war machine.
"War is the only constant."
NULL's Throne World
NULL's personal domain. An obsidian structure floating in absolute nothingness. The throne room is where NULL plots the final silence - the erasure of all sound from every dimension simultaneously. This is where the final battle will take place.
"All sound ends here."
The Enemy
A towering figure encased in obsidian armor, NULL is the enemy of all sound. He wields the Mute Chip - a device that can drain the resonance from any living being, reducing them to hollow shells. His goal is absolute silence across the multiverse. His obsidian throne sits at the center of The Void, where he plots the final erasure.
A being made of pure white noise, STATIC is NULL's most chaotic general. Where NULL seeks silence, STATIC creates interference - a wall of meaningless sound that drowns out all music. He is the anti-frequency, the entropy of sound. His presence corrupts audio, turning melodies into static.
An ethereal female figure made of mirror reflections, ECHO exists as a living echo of sound. She is NULL's general, yet she carries fragments of every sound she has ever reflected. Sometimes she helps the resistance, sometimes she serves NULL - her loyalty shifts like the reflections that compose her form.
A creature made of looping energy, FEEDBACK traps sounds in infinite cycles. His power creates feedback loops that corrupt and distort music, turning beautiful melodies into screeching noise. He is the reason some dimensions sound wrong - his loops have infected their frequencies.
A silent assassin who moves through shadows, MUTE eliminates threats to NULL's regime without making a sound. He is the perfect weapon - no footsteps, no breath, no presence. His victims never hear him coming. He has taken out dozens of resistance fighters, and Mr. H0rrible is his primary target.
