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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

In the event your character stumbles upon one of the restricted coordinates, comment here so it can be used for later! Your character will also get a personal update on the portal dimension once the place is discovered.

Rinku's gonna try x725, y865!

Thank you for your report. We will comment here when it's time to use the information gained from these coordinates, so your character gets the information first.
