User:Duodecillionaire

Hi I'm Duo, admin and long-time writer on amaranth legacy. Nearly all of my writing has taken place in some variation of Cosmoria or another. Nearly all of my writing made for Local Universe, Borealis Universe, or Universe 6E has somehow made its way to the modern day in Cosmoria (in their best forms). Collaborating is really fun in writing, and I want to collaborate wherever I can.

Not being able to explain how my species look to an AI model has made me pick up drawing. So, as I draw more, more will get filled in. My strategy is tracing a quick sketch I do on paper and then cleaning it up.

Below that are my major narratives (or, sometimes, what I call the perspective of a character I want to use to show off my setting. World builder first writer second haha). Every time I collaborate in a new scope, I'll add a section for it. Lastly, the credits!

Canon Sketches

Cycles

Anabasis Cycle
Since the beginning of civilization, space has been ruled by all-powerful deific entities, known as Overlords. To call them absolute monarchs is underselling their power and influence. Immortal, capable of amassing endless wealth, capable of destroying worlds, the history of Aylathiya was almost entirely the whims of Overlords and their feuds. Mars is an entity with the power of an overlord, with a will derived from the people. Mars is the nation of Martial Space and may be the only force that can liberate the universe from the rule of overlords.
Major Characters
Mars | The Three | The Administrator | The Angels
Tales
Aylathiya's Ignominy | Penultimate End
Naught Cycle
There is something about Cosmoria, something about living in a universe where fate does not exist, that inspired a great deal of fear in the hearts of many. For Faye Vaughn, the realization of this fueled a rebellion in her heart, motivating her to do everything in her power to learn about the universe, even if it may all ultimately be pointless. Her journey through space, and even time, reveals a far grander universe than nearly anyone had anticipated. One lifetime is not enough to learn it all.
Major Characters
Faye Vaughn | June Trujillo | Bernays d'Borea | Ma'eau
Tales
The Knowledge of Nature
Preeminence Cycle
The planet of Indar, a bustling center of trade for all of Zalanthium, has a number of threats facing it. Every day, nations, organizations, and foreign empires play the game of politics, leaving the Global Union to mediate between the various players and prevent total collapse. Informant Lars Escarra ended up roped into this game after an order by Kaecias to "renew" its intelligence service; the corporation-turned-state has ambitions to control the entirety of Southern Indar. With only the Indar Industrialist Initiative standing between them and full control, Lars soon finds that Kaecias is not the only threat to democracy on Indar; the rot runs deep.
Major Characters
Lars Alcubierre | Margot Dyson | Morgan von Neumann | Simone McKendree | Rudy Nicoll | Lucretia Penrose | Ophelia Niven | Nastassja Eder
Tales
Consent of the Governed (Coming Soon!)
Steel Cycle
Northern Zazriel is quite the cold place, so cold that the ocean around it freezes for several months out of the year. Additional challenges include highly advanced neighbors, a chronic shortage of labor, and pressure from outside nations to adopt a more feudal system of governance. The Zazriel Res Publica, centered on the city of Yurette, is locked in an eternal cold war both between its component cities, outsiders, and even powerful empires across the sea just waiting for the right time to tear it apart. Despite this, its unique form of governance, guild anarchism, persists to this day.
Major Characters
Conditor | Rhys Sanctra | Castor Aethiopica | Philemon Strelitzia | Rhoxane Cuphea (More Coming Soon!)

Credits

I would not be here if it wasn't for many very talented people. I want to give credit to people who have inspired me, starting with:

User:LordSkorne7—The first page I ever read was CYREX (Local Universe). Inspired my first pages—The Supreme (Borealis Universe) and DELYATU (Borealis Universe). This is why he gets the first credit.

User:Tesinormed—Goes without introduction! You're reading these words right now, aren't you? Thank Tess!

User:SunlitSmoothie—Has been a beacon of creativity for years now. I wouldn't be drawing without them certainly. Big credit for a lot of Cosmoria's cosmology and character in general.

User:The Minmus Derp—Big support, endless well of ideas and insights that's certainly helped much of my lore. Florathel continues to be an integral part of Cosmoria and Scope:Silky Way is like an actualization of Florathel.

User:LordApollyon—Keep the creatures coming! Has certainly made me want to collaborate more.

User:Sword-of-stabbing—One day Sword woke up and decided to start writing fire and hasn't stopped. Keeps me on my toes.

User:TheStellarExplorer—Formatting god and pushed the boundaries back in the day with Palioxis.

User:Sillycybersnake & User:InterceptTomato—My brothers who get a spot here because they finally decided to make accounts. Inspiring beyond words.

Morbiusgreen—Original founder of that old SpaceEngine wiki. Without him, I'd be a gamer or vtuber watcher or something to fill all the time I spend writing (thank God).

Mittence1—Former site lead and someone who has had to leave the site due to extenuating circumstances. Has inspired so much of my lore in Cosmoria that I think I would be remiss not to give credit. I would not have Aylathiya without him.

User:Alejojojo6—Al's lore was by far the largest set back in the Scope:Local Universe days. His tales of aristocratic struggle has certainly altered the character of my lore.

Mnmgroup777—Original author of the Neo-Terran Intergalactic Hegemony (Borealis Universe). I really can't imagine what things would look like if I hadn't found and adopted this page. Wouldn't have Mars (Cosmoria) or the Greater Martial Consilium without him. Gets the last spot as a position of honor.

One Last 'Thank You'

Everyone who has ever written on the site—I'm so grateful that this project I help run has had, in its lifetime, hundreds of people contribute. Nothing has inspired me more than seeing the community flourish. Here's to another ten years. Here's to 2035!

Everyone who has ever written on the fandom—Get on our site! But thank you anyways!

This list is incomplete. I'll add more later. I think a lot of other authors have had their work inspire mine.
