Meet Kliment, The Silent Protector.
Kliment, Kli for short, is an escapee from a mental institution in Russia. As a teen he witnessed the ritual sacrifice of his father. Upon running to the police he was taken to an institute where he first dawned his Smiley Face mask. He no longer speaks, seeing it as a less optimal way of expressing his thoughts. He has made it his life's mission to help those who seek refuge from the cult that killed his father.
It's time for the last of the Mystic Union, Wyca! Now you may look at the map and be like "Atlas, why is there an entire country on one little island?" Well, that's just the only Wycan island on sea level; The rest of the country is in the sky! Floating islands among the clouds is what the Wycans call home, connected by bridges.
(I'll get a map of the sky islands at some point when I get them all built in Minecraft, It'll just be a bit bc life is busy as hell and it's finals season rn)
Wyca is home to the Avians, people with bird-like wings and taloned feet. Avians are connected to the element of Air, and can manipulate it through spells, often using it to create wind gusts to aid their flight so they can glide.
Wyca's patron god is Astrophel, God of the stars and space. However, they also unofficially have another patron god; Odaal, God of Magic. Odaal is not an official patron god of any country, but has taken over for Astrophel in recent years as the star god has been missing. Magic is very important to Wyca's culture, so Odaal felt no problems taking part in Wyca's protection.
Wyca's government is... something. Every 15 years, the patron god(s) choose a King/Queen themselves, choosing from the three options the community selects. In between, it works mostly like a democratic monarchy. Each city has one elected representative that works as an advisor. Wyca doesn't have much of a military force, as over time it has shifted more to a symbolic status than a war-ready force, since none of Wyca's enemies are capable of reaching their islands alone and they decided they were defensible enough not to need it.
Temples to both Astrophel and Odaal are built on the highest island in the capital, near the castle. Much like Jinx's temple, offerings left in Astrophel's altar have piled up in his absence, both having disappeared at the same time.
That's it for Wyca, thanks for reading! :D Hope y'all are having a great day/night
Continuing on with the Mystic Union, Taranta! Taranta is the most technologically advanced of the Mystic countries, on par with Ubria but a little less flashy. That is, until the apocalypse hit, but I'll get to that in a minute. Taranta is home to the Arachnids, half-spider people. (Like a centaur but spider instead of horse, if that makes sense.) Like Elves, Arachnids have no direct connection to any element, but they have just enough of a connection to Air that allows them to learn. Taranta is a very protective people, and would gladly do anything to assist their allies.
About 25 years ago, a group of Arachnids set out to explore the neighboring island to the south, unsure what it was and confused since it's not on any official maps. What they found was Demotia Timberland, which I'll go into more detail on in it's own post. But essentially, they found an island full of monsters and mutated people from all over the world. In their struggle to get back to their boat, the crew was caught in a small horde of stumbling and snarling people littered with cuts and scrapes. They'd escaped, thought next to nothing of it, and sailed home as fast as they could.
What they didn't realize however, was that through scratches on their arms and legs, two of them had made blood to blood contact with those on the island. These two individuals had unknowingly been infected with the Corruption, a virus that latches onto the brain and takes control of it's host. The Corruption is spread through blood to blood contact, and has next to no obvious symptoms until it's far too late. The Corruption spread, slowly taking over Taranta and leaving it a wasteland. Survivors who didn't flee to Hados built a wall around Taranta to protect those outside, most locking themselves in as well to attempt to save their home.
Taranta's patron god is Rinera, Goddess of Craftmanship and creation. During the apocalypse, she has been aiding survivors where she can, helping them rebuild shelters and weave bandages. The temple to Rinera is built on Taranta's highest hill, and has become a point of shelter for survivors to seek safety in it's walls.
Before the apocalypse, Taranta was a commune like Hados, having mimicked their governance when Taranta became it's own country centuries ago. Throughout history, Hados and Taranta have been twin countries, keeping similar if not identical laws and methods of governance over time.
That's all for now, thanks for reading! Byeeee
Next up on the list, we've got the wonderfully gothic land of Hados! Built on a series of volcanoes and the plains resulting from ancient eruptions, Hados is in a constant state of darkness due to the smoky clouds above. Hados is home to the dragons, but not the big reptile one I mentioned back in Mudrye. Hadan dragons are instead humanoid, with wings and horns resembling their draconic heritage. Dragons are closely tied to fire, and are naturally able to draw it's power for magic.
Hados' patron god is Jinx God of Death and Bad luck. Not the most promising sounding patron, but the Hadans came to love them all the same. Ironically, since Jinx's disappearance a couple decades ago, Hados fell into a pit of bad luck in their absence, losing their previous streak of being practically unbeatable and losing a battle for the first time in over three hundred years.
Hados is a commune, with no formal leader over the entire country. Cities elect representatives to gather as a sort of council, and they make the big decisions together. Council members make the decisions for their respective cites as well, usually through votes to allow for anyone to be heard.
Hados has a temple built for Jinx on the highest volcano, integrated with the lava pool and near constant smoke plume. In the past couple decades since Jinx's disappearance, this temple has slowly but surely filled with offerings hoping for their return, piling up and overflowing the altar. A section of the temple grounds is dedicated for the council to meet, their hope being that Jinx will send their bad luck to their enemies and inform their decisions.
The peaks of the volcanoes naturally attract and accumulate residual life energy due to Jinx's domain over Death, commonly referred to as soul energy. (Not the souls themselves, but the energy their life once held.) This energy crystalizes at the peaks, forming giant masses of energy crystals that are ground into dust and used to power Hados, along with it's allies.
That's it for now! Thanks for reading :D
We've made it to the Mystic Union now, y'all! First up on this side of the war is Aquatica, the place with the most blatantly obvious name in Evergreen. Aquatica is home to the Merfolk, shark-like individuals that are basically mermaids but slightly less human. Merfolk are obviously most connected to the ocean, and are naturally able to harness it's power. They can shift into a humanoid form, swapping their tails for legs. Most of Aquatica is built underwater in the deepest part of the ocean, but a little bit is built on a couple small islands next to it, both for tourists and for Merfolk who prefer to be in their humanoid forms.
Aquatica has one patron god, Aktis Goddess of the Sea. Aktis is the single most involved of the Gods, as she is the ruler of Aquatica on top of being it's patron, acting as a sort of King/Queen. Representatives are elected every 10 years, keeping her from being too old fashioned in her rulings, and keeping her decisions well informed and present in the modern day.
Like Myrefall, there are no mountains in Aquatica to build a temple on. Quite the opposite really, since they're very deep. However, since Aktis is King/Queen, the castle acts as a sort of temple, and those seeking to worship or give offerings would go to the castle instead.
That's all for now, thanks for reading! Byeeee
I'm returning from my hiatus with yet another country, Myrefall! Myrefall is one of the less technologically advanced countries, but also one of the most important to their allies. If you've ever been on a Minecraft server with one of those players that doesn't fight almost anything but has a big enough wheat farm to feed half the continent, that' what Myrefall is like. It's the calmest place to live and has the best food in Evergreen, and stay mostly out of wars and battles besides providing rations to their allies in return for their protection.
Myrefall is the land of Centaurs and Satyrs. While the Elves are connected to the Earth in a way that allows them to learn it's magic, both Centaurs and Satyrs have a connection that gives them natural abilities. Most use their abilities to support their crops and to aid in construction, a few trained themselves to use them in battle, forming the Whispers. The Whispers are a small vigilante group that I haven't fully worked out what they do yet.
Myrefall is one of the few countries with two patron gods! Thareus God of Justice and Niione Goddess of Change. As I said in Ubria's post, I'll get more into the Gods later, but these two haven't been all too involved in Myrefall's business as of late for Reasons.
Myrefall is a democracy with a president voted in every 7 years, along with representatives voted in every 3 years. Once again, I'm not an expert on governments, so they aren't all that fleshed out unless it's important for plot, which I don't think it's gonna be for Myrefall.
In the absence of any mountains to build one on, Myrefall lacks any temple buildings for their patron gods. As such, people instead travel to the gates between Mudrye and Myrefall, where two large statues of the gods stand. These statues eventually became basically temples in their own right, with offerings left at the feet of the statues and proper alters built eventually to accomodate them.
Anyways, that's all I got for now. Byeeeeee
It's time for Mudrye! This is quite frankly one of my favorites, to be honest. Mudrye is a bit more medieval, but since they're allied with Ubria they're anything but technologically behind. Mudrye is home to the Elves, people with little natural magical abilities but a special connection to Earth that makes learning spells through other means like wands and staffs a lot easier for them.
Mudrye's patron god is Drago, God of Beasts and creatures. They also have a Guardian, an ancient guardian dragon named Fresi, one of the first kings of Mudrye who was turned into a dragon and has been a protector of the kingdom ever since. (Not the humanoid kind of dragon, like an actual giant lizard type thing.)
Mudrye is a representative monarchy, which from my understanding or at least how Mudrye works is that there's a royal family and a group of representatives are elected every year to guide the king and queen's decisions.
Mudrye has a well known medical facility called the Phantom Corporation, known for it's ability to cure diseases both physical and mental without a trace like a Phantom. The Phantom Corps are known across the world, and even those from the Mystic countries travel there in search of healing.
Mudrye's temple to Drago is built on top of the southern mountain of the Twin Summits. Fresi sleeps curled around the temple watching over the forested town below, to be woken when in times of need.
Little hint for a future plan, I'm currently writing one of the many stories that take place in Evergreen! It's in the very early stages right now, but it'll get there eventually. But it takes place partly in Mudrye and one of the main characters is the Princess of Mudrye, so I figured I may as well mention it.
Anyway, I hope y'all have a fantastic day/night! Thanks for reading!
It's time to get into the countries, y'all!
We're starting with Ubria, a mix of modern technology and elemental magic. Ubria is home to a variety of people, but many are Elementals; Humanoid though pure elemental energy flows through their veins, things like fire or shadow or lightning. Ubria is also home to a majority of the world's Mutants; They can be any of the other species, though sometimes magic sometimes finds a way into a person later in their lives after childhood. It's kind of like how superhero movies have their powers origin stories, just very magic related in their accidental occurrences.
Every country has a patron God, and rarely two. Ubria's patron Goddess is Gala, Goddess of logic and intelligence. I'll get more into the Gods later.
Now, Ubria is a democracy with a President voted on every 5 years. I'm not an expert on how government works so none of them are currently all that planned out really, you've been warned. Overall, Ubria is similar to America if it was slightly less of a capitalistic nightmare. It is a little bit tho
Ubria's police and military force is a privately owned company called Sentinel, which I'll go into more detail on later, but the general rundown is that Sentinel is owned by one of the original mutants, Reagan Cole. Long story short, he's immortal so he's still in charge. There's multiple teams stationed around Ubria, one in each city and maybe in enemy countries-
Ubria has a mountain that the capital (Platinum city) is built near, and at the top is where the temple dedicated to Gala is. Mountains in Evergreen are important magical conduits, so mountaintops are the best places to be connected to magic and the Gods.
I dunno what else to add here, but I'm sure there's probably more I'll think of at some point. If anybody sees this and feels like it, feel free to send me an ask, it'd be awesome.
Anyway, byee
Explaining for myself and whoever stumbles upon my account. Also so I can just send a link to whoever I want so they can understand what the hell I'm going on about :)
So, Evergreen is a modern-ish fantasy realm I've based on books I've read, movies I've watched, games I've played, and just vibes I thought would be cool.
Here's the map of Evergreen that I am currently working with. (It's a topography map I've made for Minecraft bc I'm building the entire thing in Minecraft lately, will probably post updates on that sometimes, just expect slow progress.)
I'm gonna make every country a separate post because they all have a lot to go on about, but I'll link each of them at the end of this post for convenience.
Here's the worldwide lore: Evergreen is currently in the aftermath of a recent world war, called the Executioner's war. Basically, there was two sides: The Mystic Union, and The Golden Nations. Plus the countries that stayed the hell out of it, but they each had their reasons.
The Mystic Union were upset with the Golden Nations for their unfair treatment of Dragons and Arachnids, whom the Golden Nations view as violent, and tried to seek an agreement to stop the violent treatment towards them. The Golden Nations were upset with the Mystic Union for their use of Soul Energy as their primary energy source, seeing it as primitive and barbaric to use residual energy of once living souls as power, and thus refused to grant them safety on Golden Nations land. After decades of this tension building, Mudrye declared war against Hados and a hundred year war began. There was a lot of death and assassinations, and many prisoners of war were executed, hence the name.
Eventually, around 40 years ago in current times of Evergreen, thanks to changes in leadership over that century, a ceasefire was negotiated and the world has started attempting to heal, despite ever present disdain between the two sides.
Now, a lot has happened in each country as effects of the Executioner's war, so I'll go into that on each country's own post. Speaking of those, I'm going to link them all here. (And by that I mean I'll list them and edit it to be a link when I get around to making those posts lol)

Family: Keath has 1 sister (and a brother, Adrian brixton, Henry’s technical son, but fuck him he sucks :3), Daphne Mallet. His father, Henry Mallet, had the two of them in his 20’s (24), with an American prostitute. She died in labour of the twins, and Henry was left to raise them alone. He hired Nannies, daycares, and more to watch over his children while he maintained his career as a punk star. He died at 36, falling off a fairy in Australia, while his children were 12. The two lived in their home for 2 more years, moving in with their grandmother when they were 14.
Daphne: his relationship Daphne was always a good one, despite arguments and disputes. Daphne liked to tag along with whatever Keath and Bob were doing, and neither of them minded considering bob had to take Cecil with him to places a lot. Daphne was Keath’s main support during his transition, and helped get the money for his doctor appointments and first cane. Keath still has a good relationship with her, and they hangout on holidays.
Mother: their mother, Melody, was a simple woman. She lives her adult life as a prostitute, not ever wanting to be tied down. When she met Henry, she was flattered he wanted to fuck her, but a drunk Brit always forgets protection ig 🤷. She got pregnant, and planned on leaving the twins with Henry and bailing, he wasn’t aware of this plan. Unfortunately for her, she died in labour of the, but luckily she got what she wanted, the kids being left to Henry :)
Childhood: He met bob when he was 9 (bob would’ve been about 12 because in this au bob is about 35 I think?), they met in private school. They shared interest in musical theatre, and were both cast out as weird kids. When Keath was 14 (Bob would be 17), he had to move away. He and Bob had promised they’d see each other again someday. Keath changed though.
Teen years/early 20’s: Throughout the years Keath had to go to several doctors about his mental health, which was slowly declining as well as his physical. By 22, he has been diagnosed with OCD, autism, anxiety, depression, POTS, and selective mutism. He tried to get through it, but things were tough. By 23, he had to use a cane due to chronic pain in his legs and his POTS.
Moving back to Springfield/meeting in prison: He moved back to Springfield when he was 31, and lived a pretty peaceful life for a few months. He got arrested and spent 4 months in prison shortly after for murder, except he didn’t remember doing it, and no one believed him. His cellmate, to his surprise, was his old friend Bob, now known as Sideshow Bob. He was pleasantly surprised to see Bob, but Bob couldn’t recognize him at first, he looked really different (Keath’s hair was a bit longer, and red when he was a kid). After they got reacquainted though, they were inseparable.
Aftermath: After Keath finished his time, he made a plan for Bob to escape, and come stay with him at his house. The plan played out, and Bob since the lives with Keath. Most of the towns people know, but they realized Keath does good for Bob, so they weren’t to worried.
Occupation/work: For work, Keath is a daycare worker, who takes care of children ages 1-4. Because of the occupation, Keath had become acquainted with the Simpsons family, due to taking care of Maggie at daycare. Much to Bob’s dismay, he finds Lisa and Bart adorable, and quite sweet. Although he only sees them on occasion when they come along to pick up Maggie.
Hobby/passion: His favourite pass time is Art. He loves to draw, paint, and especially animate. He also sings, so that’s a cool plus. He spends the most time animating though, and because Bob has a love for art of many forms, he supports the passion in both words, and financially (he has a bit of wealth from his mothers late career). For Keath’s 32nd birthday, Bob bought him a Cintiq pro 17 for animation, Keath cried a lot.
Style/music taste: Keath has a pretty basic style in terms of clothing, he dresses more alternative/grunge. He was worried at first about Bob judging his style both in clothing and music, but he was actually very open and supportive of the style.
Some additional information that I think is cool is his father is the late Henry mallet (from the 2010 Australian series “Spirited”), hence the last name. Personally, I made this into the lore to include something else I’m interested in, i thought it was cool. Henry’s career and style is what made Keath’s the way it is, having a British punk star as a father doesn’t have no effect ;)
I spent my day writing this on paper, but here it is! There’s more to his character, but here’s the surface :)

@starlightwoofwoof WARNING: SHIT TON OF LORE AND YAPPING
Okay, time for a yap-a-thon for the hell of it. Glisten and Alga are two sides of the same coin, if that wasn't obvious from their similar means and reasons for akumatization. Glisten strives to be perfect, to be perceived as some confident, flawless person to others, despite his crippling autophobia and atelophobia. Alga is the opposite. He's tired of being known as this chivalrous gentleman who can't even change his appearance without literally killing himself! He wants to get his hands dirty, to be someone who has flaws, but he can't. Being a gentleman is permanently etched into his brain; he can try, but he can never fully change himself.
When Perfect is in play, he can project his insecurity about his imperfections onto others, forcing them to hyper-fixate on every little mistake and perceive themselves negatively, all while acting like an untouchable god. Dionysus, however, makes it so that everyone completely forgets anything about their worries. It's almost like Trickster Mode from Homestuck; they act so wild and giddy that it's downright unhinged and worrying, especially relationship-wise. Someone could do something to strain a relationship, like, oh, I don't know, break the other's wrist accidentally! (cough cough Dionysus with Finn, cough cough.) When the two of them are de-akumatized, they are essentially forced to suffer the weight of their guilt together. Glisten has the guilt of causing others to akumatize, and Alga has the guilt of harming his friends. Both of them thrust themselves into the same time of coping mechanism while going through this grief. Try to return to that same normalcy beforehand. It doesn't really work, and both of them are just stewing in their guilt. Only when they finally accept that hey, somethings can't be changed fully and no matter what, there's always going to be some bits of you that remain forever, and you don't have to be perfect to be good do they get over their grief and get their respective miraculous, Glisten with the snake Miraculous and Alga with the Dragon Miraculous. In terms of power, both of them are fucking swole. The reasons to become akumatized due to Perfect are slower; the reasons swallow you whole before spitting you out like you mean nothing. Meanwhile, Dionysus' reasons hit you hard and fast, like a freight train. You could blink, and everything fine and dandy before could turn chaotic and terrifying really quick. Admittedly, this is more a reason for someone to be handed a miraculous, but I can also see someone having a panic attack and getting akumatized because of Dionysus. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
