Portal Dimensions
PORTAL DIMENSIONS
LOGS | NETWORK | OOC | MEMES | NAVIGATION
Ellipsa is connected to several dimensions. They're all part of the world, but exist on other plains entirely.
There are two different types of dimensions:
- World Expansions. Places that are connected to Ellipsa completely, adding something to the world, such as Hell Dimension.
- Neighbours. Places that have their own magic systems completely, with little to no relation to Ellipsa.
Portals all require a portal gun and a coordinate of two numbers; X and Y. So one coordinate would be x1, y2 for example. The coordinates come from "a grid" of 999 x 999.
Once a dimension has been officially chosen, the portal gun used will be locked to that location only (other portal guns cannot access it). Before that characters are able to visit different worlds briefly (max. 24 hours before the portal closes) to investigate what they're like and make a choice based on their discoveries.
Portal Dimensions, once locked, can remain open as long as the character wants them to be - so even permanently in their own house, for example.
Portal Guns
The devices look a lot like radar guns in different kinds of colors and decorations. The numbers are put on the gun by num pads installed on them. The trigger works as both opening and closing method.
First portal gun can be received from the Research Center for free; gaining more requires 50,000 Moon Coins per gun.
The portal guns are very sturdy, but if one does break it can be easily fixed by either Winter Powers or at the Research Center. The coordinates will only be erased from it if it's completely broken into bits and pieces. If that happens, the portal will either remain closed or open.
Nature of the Portal Dimensions
The portal dimensions are whatever players wish them to be with some restrictions.
The worlds inside the dimensions are no bigger than Madagascar. They come in various different landscapes. Some are lush green islands surrounded by the sea while others might be mode modern, empty cities. All of them are blank canvases in terms of having no people in them.
Instead the dimensions usually have their own wildlife that fit the world's landscapes. It's entirely possible to encounter communities of animals living a normal life like they would back on Ellipsa.
There's also a possibility that a world is filled with monsters. Hostile or peaceful, intelligent or savages, maybe even a mix of all. There could be just wildlife and monsters. But one thing they lack is 'humans' or human-like people.
All monsters with human-like intelligence need a permission from the portal owner to come out of their dimension. Others can come and go as they want, which is why the Research Center suggests opening portals for the first time in a safe space and not in one's living room.
New monster species can be made by the characters and even submitted to this comment, in case you want to 'accidentally' release some into Ellipsa. Just don't create any game breaking world ending ones.
Players are also free to come up with a magic system for their world, but the magic from the dimensions can't be brought to Ellipsa at this moment.
Use
Portal Dimensions are given to otherworlders to "use as they wish". Exploration, cultivation, experimentation. The Research Center only asks that people treat the local ecosystems with respect and don't bring the dimensions into complete ruins just for fun.
Officially, the research center is using these dimensions to test ways to bring people from other worlds into Ellipsa willingly. A safe place to do magic that's normally dangerous to use.
Already Discovered Portals
x150, y300 (Event)
A space that looks as if the water surface and the sky melt together, as the water reflects the starry sky. On the water there are several rowing boats. Once at least two people are inside a boat it will start moving across the surface of water and will eventually disappear into a mist.
x??, y??
Hell Dimension. Portal permanently open in the 'Heart Will Go On' glacier. Home of demons and other dark creatures. Seems to be on fire.
Restricted Portal Numbers
Following coordinates will fail when someone tries to do them. They should be reported to the Research Center for further investigation. These portals will later be used for plot purposes in the game.

Portal: 51x24y
Monster Name: Glomon
Description: Warm and fluffy, glowing and round, Glomon range in size from a billiards ball to a medicine ball. They are intelligent and able to communicate, and they are willing to share their home as long as no one hurts them or takes too much for themselves. Some also get curious about the outside world and will approach anyone who looks friendly to ask them questions about their life here.

Claimed Portal Coordinates: 51 x, 24 y
Description: Dark sky, forest of giant glowing mushrooms (...you can probably eat them, but you might get sick and you'll definitely start mildly glowing for a week), and warm, fluffy orb beings that emit light and are just kinda vibing. They're happy to coexist with anyone as long as their home is respected, and since Rinku doesn't really want to take it, they're chill. The forest is full of free friends.
Welcome to Jurassic Park / Jurassic World / Dinosaur Sanctuary
Claimed Portal Coordinates: x93, y22
Description: Tropical place full of valleys, mountains and all sorts of dinosaurs. Most of them are herbivores, so some of the areas are safe at least until carnivores stray in for a visit.
(Yes yes yes YES!! My dreams of a dinosaur area in Seasons, that's like Jurassic Park / Jurassic World finally comes true since this is basically like a lot of the dinosaur areas from them... and fun fact; even those coordinates are the release year of the original Jurassic Park and the release year of Jurassic World Dominion ♥ ♥ )

Claimed Portal Coordinates: x10, y31
Description: A technological city surrounded by woods and mountains filled with deadly creatures kinda like the Grimm but not. City is filled with human-like robots and while nice and pristine, a lot of tech is broken.
no subject
Claimed Portal Coordinates: x333, x777
Description: You know those game levels where everything is for some reason made out of art supplies? The ground is made of paper and other objects are anything from pencil crayons standing as trees, hills made of stacked crayons, paint tubes emitting creeks of paint going down the origami mountain... Assorted animals and monsters live around the area, but there are rest spots as well (and places to store your stuff, naturally).

Claimed Portal Coordinates: x721, y150
Description: This place is lush. It's a smaller island and is pretty much just extensive flat land filled with grass, flowers, and some scattered trees. There doesn't seem to be any monsters or people here. However, in far corners of the land the plants may hum lullabies and other songs that inexplicably remind you of your childhood, which is designed to put you at ease. They can't move from their spots, so if you don't love it - you can move beyond it.
There's a lot of variety of flowers, though there's significant parts of it that are red. And towards the center of this entire piece of land - and visible no matter where you're standing - is a massive tree. For a visual reference, it very much is reminiscent of this. ♥♥

Claimed Portal Coordinates: x69, y69
Description: This monster-free zone is a perfect place for a vacation with options depending on your mood. In the distance, there's a mountain range, which seems to cover the northern most part of the entire dimension. To the west, there's a beach, perfect for lounging. In the water, there's all sorts of interesting fish - they come in surprising colors and different shapes. Everything is just a bit different from what you'd expect. To the east there seems to be a city - it looks to be in fairly good shape despite the lack of people to maintain it. There's a few scattered villages beyond that and in some parts of the land, there's more isolated homes and things like farms. As far as wildlife goes, there's a lot of interesting animals, but they seem generally harmless and friendly. Some may be a bit different from what you'd expect - like green horses and purple cats.

Claimed Portal Coordinates: x69, x420
Description: From above, this place is an island that looks suspiciously like a set of someone's assets (depending on who you ask) with a large crack in the center that seems to have been made by an earthquake. The only signs of life in this world are trees that grow eggplants and peaches. Other than that, there are many small little houses that people can use dotted around the island; they may be a little dusty due to disuse but are otherwise in relatively decent shape.

Claimed Portal Coordinates: x005, x015
Description: A tropical jungle near the shore, the aboveground is filled with dangerous flora, quicksand, and deep holes that are easy to miss in the brush. The underground is calmer, and full of crystals that have a wide variety of minor magical effects.
NSFW - undernegotiated consent
Claimed Portal Coordinates: x1, y32
Description: A suburban area populated by furries, the world is geographically unremarkable and has no wild monsters. The inhabitants have a culture of free use: it's perfectly normal and acceptable to have sex anytime, anyplace, with anyone. Public sex is considered completely unremarkable.
no subject
Claimed Portal Coordinates: x500, y500
Description: This land is as expansive as it can possibly be, and it's covered in ruins. There's even underground dungeons to explore, too. It's full of resources that would be useful to adventurers - stuff for crafting, alchemy, etc. There may even be some puzzles to solve when there...!
Above ground, the ruins vary in type - from castles, to temples, to long-gone cities. There's certainly something that happened here - and this place is a puzzle to uncover! The creatures on the surface are mostly smaller animals - birds, bugs, that sort of thing. Nothing out of the ordinary or surprising.
Underground is dungeons. This is full of everything from the cliche underground dungeon with puzzles and traps, to beautiful underground ruins covered in plant life that doesn't seem to require sunlight. There can even be some interesting monsters underground like mimics, slimes, that sort of thing.

Claimed Portal Coordinates: x303, x213
Description: Basically ancient egypt but all the people are cats. Not even cat people, but regular cats that can talk with magic. They have their own little world here that they run and rule. Aesthetics are very Ancient Egypt vibes except there's a lot of scratcing posts everywhere.
The cats may have not met humans before but they're easy to communicate and befriend as long as people respect their world.
