PUDDIN

PUDDIN, or the

Planes (of the) Universe Data Department Internal Numeration

Is an index of planes that have been found in the universe, categorizing them and describing the planes that have been discovered by Orange and her people. This index is managed by the PUD department of BEPIS. The following are the specific categories used to describe the various planes.

PUDDIN - A: Habitable plane; has life.

PUDDIN - B: Habitable plane; no life.

PUDDIN - C: Uninhabitable; has life.

PUDDIN - D: Uninhabitable; no life.

PUDDIN - E: Universal properties too different to safely explore.

PUDDIN - F: Utterly chaotic.

PUDDIN - G: A plane that requires more study to understand fully, usually appearing to be controlled by one consciousness.

A - 001 The Universe
This is our home, our world.

A - 002 Ahi Ahi
The home plane of the aurans, a lifeform that can survive and thrive under extreme heat.

A - 003 S'Bieslid
This tropical plane sees seasons, but temperatures range from hot to quite hot. Hundreds of types of peppers have been cultivated from the indigenous plants, and thousands of plates of food are prepared here for every Aportum. There are also hot springs, incredible cliffside resorts, jungle tours, and hundreds of other fruits, vegetables, and meats native to the plane.

A - 004 Inibaridie
This plane is a large archipelago, visitors arrive at Inismagna, the largest settled island.

A - 005 Ogodrisda
This plane is often used as a travel plane for seedy deals made between other extraplanar beings.

A - 006 Draikou
This plane is the home of the Drai, a one eyed people who are gifted in innate magical abilities. Their magic is often shown plainly in their eye, which the magic centers around. Their magic is generally sight-based, of course, being able to see great distance, being able to see one's true intentions, being able to see heat or in extreme darkness, and so forth. Draikou is a temperate plane, and is very hospitable. Their culture evolved into forming very welcoming communities, generally split between keepers of community buildings and structures (which are build strong to weather the extreme storms that Draikou is prone to), and nomadic people who will generally settle into towns in the stormy seasons. Their world is much like ours - spherical, has gravity, and an atmosphere, and so forth. The people are also welcome having portals not only to Orange lands, but to the lands of other colors. They will generally be hospitable - but if you bring conflict, those who are gifted in combat magics are deadly and should be feared at all costs.

A - 007 Referendum
This plane was initially built by the Bismiodin as they discovered that other planes existed. How they built a plane is unknown. It contains one structure, which is a government building meant to act as a center point for all races from all planes to be able to meet, make agreements, and so forth.

A - 008 Texas
In this plane, some creatures living there are locked up for show. Everyone who tries to escape is stomped on. The sheriff in this place is called GROOOOOOOOOONGO and he seems to be effectively the god of this plane, a sect worshipping him called PoG can be found wandering the area.

A-009 Badaroka
This plane is the home plane of the Drekkar and Steinrisi. It is characterized mainly by the beautiful, ornate, and gigantic stone cities that line the plane. There is one god of the realm- a Drek-Sten called Rokkamaw, who gives the Steinrisi and Drekkar their stone-shaping magical abilities.

A - 010 Guamson
This plane is filled with bipedal, armless creatures that wear space suits of various colors. The creatures of this realm show a great interest in space travel. Strangely, about 1 in 5 of them seem to have murderous tendencies. Once they are revealed, however, they are labelled as “suspicious”, and promptly executed by the other creatures. These creatures are also terrified of air ventilation systems, for some reason. More research must be done on the culture of this plane.

A - 011 New Halovin
New Halovin was accidentally discovered by a few drunk college students from Halovin, and “annexed” by them. There is no intelligent life native to this plane, and plant life grows unchallenged. The only building here currently is a campsite, though perhaps that could change if word of this plane spreads.

A - 012 THE PLANE
THE PLANE is an empty sky, with only a single, self-enclosed object flying at around Mach 2 speed existing in its expanse. Residents exist on this object, who call themselves the Flight Crew. They are humanoid, around 7 feet tall, and wear a suit that seems to be an extension of their body. If the object becomes overcrowded, the Flight Crew will single out a resident, beat them to a pulp, then throw them out an airlock. As the area below the object has not been mapped, it is unknown where these bodies go.

B - 001 Tirnalfoyed
This plane is categorized as B-Class because there is no native life in it, despite life being there. This is a prison plane, as far as we have discerned. Creatures sent here are unable to see one another, and the lords of the plane task everyone with quarrying, shaping, and building grand temples in honor of the lords.

B - 002 Datacenter
This plane is home to millions of computers that were placed here once the Inter-Planar Communication Protocol was created. Before, the plane was simply an empty, black skied, cold, flat plane as far as the eye could see. Now, it has several large warehouses filled with computers and IPCP antennas.

B - 003 Arena
A barren plane of purple fields with a deserted colosseum at its epicenter. Although it appears unfinished, it's perfectly livable for all walks of life.

B - 004 Desolaria
A plane with an expansive, sprawling landscape. All former plant life here seems to have been singed by fire, and all the structures here are completely ruined. This plane seems to show evidence of former life existing upon it. The most widespread theory is that the people of this plane went extinct long ago, though it's possible this realm was intentionally abandoned. More investigations are necessary on this plane.

B - 005 Neythar
A bleak, crimson plane where all movements occur eight times as fast as in our world. Manufacturing companies have taken notice of this quirk in recent years, and have begun building factory sects here to take advantage of it. However, due to the increased energy generation, starting fires is incredibly easy, and often accidental. Further safety measures are likely necessary.

B - 006 Rengiezf
A freezing cold plane made of an ice-like material. Towering mountains dot the landscape, forming great rings around the area. Once something leaves the plane, it becomes incredibly slippery. The duration of this effect is directly proportional to the amount of time spent in the realm. Supposedly, this plane was named in order to make it as difficult to pronounce as possible.

B - 007 Alanik
A plane discovered early in the charting efforts; found to be simple, barely just a barren island surrounded by sea. Subsequent endeavors have confirmed that no other islands or life exist in this plane, it is completely uninhabited

C - 001 Ignis
The home plane of our souls, the flames are undeniably conscious and alive, but humans cannot exist here.

C - 002 Inanus
The void, a vast nothingness.

C - 003 Brix
This plane is home to a race of people called the Bismiodin. The plane of Brix is a fairly normal one, but their planet is far denser than ours, and as such, humans have a tendency to explode upon stepping foot there. The Bismiodin discovered planar travel by way of what they call "Gravity Cannons" which create a stream through the space between planes that incur strange physical properties, generally "warping" them from one plane to another, though occasionally they must travel manually by ship.

C - 004 Tor'rath
A sort of hell, Tor'rath is a plane full of demons named Bezezai which trap mortals who have committed severe crimes against the multiverse. Baithyl, the ruler of the plane, keeps it on utter lockdwon, and the entire plane is oppressive and bleak, with very few heavily guarded portals that can ever traverse through the plane. Humans may exist in the plane, but a living human would inevitably die of dehydration due to the lack of water, catch fire and die, or get a deadly disease.

C - 006 Aneai
This Plane consists of a massive atmosphere of oxygenated air floating above a flat empty expanse. The land of this plane is uninhabitable and actively hostile to sentient organisms, with massive and mysterious creatures that make their homes there. The ground itself is actively hostile and will actively eat away at any objects unlike itself, though it appears “normal” at first, making it only habitable to these mysterious creatures. It is believed that the “hostile” land is expanding upwards slowly but surely, according to the tales of the inhabitants of the plane and very rare small protrusions upwards from the otherwise flat land which take the form of sycamore trees. Above this endless deceptively-deadly expanse is the sky, dotted with water clouds and occasional giant storm cloud - like masses of gaseous kerosene, plus a giant mass of smoke and cloud cover separating the “upper sky” from the ground. This area is inhabited by a race of aerodynamic automatons vaguely similar to Aurans. They live off kerosene and find water deadly, but while they are able to fly they can only do so for short periods of time. As such, these beings live in giant airship complexes, often using jets to launch scouting missions to collect kerosene and communicate between pods of airships.

This life above the clouds is not entirely safe, however - creatures from below periodically breach the clouds to attack “imperfections” such as clouds. They have primitive eyes that can only tell dull from bright, however, and so by painting their aircraft with unassuming colors and avoiding burning any fuel, the aircraft are usually able to avoid detection. Orange explorers have only been able to begin exploring this Plane recently - first, those who ventured in would find themselves on the ground where they would be swallowed and erased, and then they would find themselves in open air and fall to their deaths. With the invention of small personal aircraft, though, contact has been made with those who live in this plane. Human survival may be possible in the near future when water can be safely extracted and plants can be consistently grown while also producing infinitely renewable fuel. For now, however, resources are too thin to maintain permanent settlements on this plane.

It’s a Plain Plane Plain Plane.

C - 007 Draihak
This plane is the Drai Afterlife Plane. Drai ghosts exist here, and are the primary forms of life. They need not eat nor drink, which benefits them because there is no food nor water to speak of. Any creature that dies on this plane is resurrected as a mindless version of itself that wanders endlessly, unless the creature has a soul that the goddess of the plane (called Cahannah Ligaurd) sees as suitable to exist there. The buildings are ephemeral, and can only be touched by ghosts.

C - 008 Arachnea
This plane is solely inhabited by spiders.

C - 009 Kayhaych-3
This plane is constantly on fire, freezing, flooding, and in the middle of an earthquake. All visitors are attacked by hairless infants, all brandishing axes. The babies seem to be immune to the extreme weather of the realm. All diplomatic attempts with these creatures have obviously failed. It is unknown if they serve a leader, or if they act of their own accord.

C - 010 Makami
This Plane takes the form of a massive endless windstorm, generating winds that apparently vary from Mach 3 to Mach 5. The winds tend to blow north, though the direction has been known to vary in certain locations through as-yet-unknown means. This windstorm severely hampers visibility, and attempting to enter against the direction of the wind often leads to instant death.

Makani is inhabited by a race of sentient insectoid individuals know as "Peke." Peke are eight-limbed creatures with what are assumed to be four arms, two legs, and two giant wings, along with several large compound eyes and an exoskeleton. Peke take many forms, with many subspecies appearing suspiciously similar to various winged insects present on Flairia, but all subspecies have their wings in common, which are capable of moving in such a way that allows them to hover in the winds of the Plane.

D - 001 Ripjaw
This plane is entirely a whirlpool made of bones.

D - 002 Cacaphony
A plane made completely out of a strange metal, which is toxic if exposed to bare skin for too long. All sounds made in this realm are not only audible to every creature on it, but also play at a random pitch each time. No plants can grow here, and no animal could ever hope to sleep, making it very likely that no life could exist here.

D - 003 Forcefield
A realm where all directional forces are reversed, therefore meaning nothing can enter or exit this realm. The only way to enter is via Gateway, and once inside, it's impossible to leave.

D - 004 Freefall
A completely empty plane. Expeditions have been made to reach the bottom, but none have managed the feat.

D - 005 Numbness
None of a creature’s senses work in this plane. No pain can be felt, no words can be heard, no sights can be seen. Many who enter this plane find no way out. However, drone surveillance of this plane has succeeded, and the true form of this plane is a valley that seems to extend infinitely upwards. It’s safe to assume that no creature could live here. Though, if one could, its capabilities would be beyond our imagining...

D - 006 Stormfront
This plane is in a perpetual lightning storm, constantly battering the plane with violent thunderclaps. All plant life has been completely incinerated, and former structures have all been charred to a crisp. Perhaps this plane could be used as an energy source, though setting up power infrastructure in this environment seems an unwise decision.

E - 001 Esrevinu
This plane is near identical to ours, but time appears to go backwards. We’ve chosen simply to mark down its discovery and not pursue the existential nor physical implications of this.

E - 002 Annihilated
A plane that has completely collapsed. Originally, it was a realm where portals did not exist, and never would, thus normally being completely inaccessible. As soon as someone accidentally arrived here from Gateway, the plane imploded. The notion that an entire plane can collapse by the mistake of a single person… it’s unsettling, to say the least.

E - 003 Dreamcatcher
The wishes of all inhabitants of this realm become true. Creations of this realm cannot leave it, vanishing if taken through a portal, and the scope of these wishes cannot extend beyond the reaches of this plane. This plane is a haven for those who cannot accept our reality, and so choose to hide out in a false world.

E - 004 Oblivion
Anything living that enters this plane immediately dies.

E - 005 Vertigo
This realm’s gravity changes direction at random intervals. Exploration of this plane is highly discouraged, as falling out of the world is possible. Artificial gravity systems could make a settlement possible, but not only would it be incredibly expensive, how would we even get it there in the first place?

F - 001 The Worldstorm
This plane has no constant observable time, nor constant universal constants. It’s as though the numbers we use to understand our reality are warped at random here.

F - 002 Ferfthal
Ferfthal seems to be a physical embodiment of the concept of forgetting. Information about the plane does exist, but there's seemingly no physical laws, even though the plane seems to function like it has them. Clues to the history and past of the plane are either missing, never existed, or are hidden so well the difference is irrelevant. Information is antithetical to this plane. The vast majority of life that enters the plane gets expunged of all memory, not just memory they have but memory others have involving them. Exploration of the plane is prohibited.

F - 003 Fragmentation
This plane is made up of smaller fragments of other planes. Any object above said fragments will gain the properties of the origin plane, which can potentially lead to disastrous effects. Each fragment is separated by slight cracks in the ground, and can range in size from a small concrete slab to a continental landmass.

F - 004 Gateway
Anything that enters this plane is sent to a different one at random. It ignores all limitations of entry to said planes. Incredibly dangerous.

F - 005 Impermanence
In this realm, the very concept of space shifts around. Expeditions to this plane have sometimes found their camp moved 30 meters into the sky, or in the middle of a newfound crater. Explorers are sometimes teleported into the furthest reaches of outer space. However, this reality distortion only applies to objects that are not in any creature’s line of vision, making security systems an absolute necessity if any colony on this plane is to ever survive.

G - 001 A Strange Universe
This plane is home to a host of beings that are near identical to the people of Flairia, but have not only written about Flairia, but seem to shape it with their words.

G - 002 The Quantum Fish
This plane is a single room. The walls are painted lavender, the floor is a medium-softness wood that is unidentifiable as any that we know of. The ceiling has vinyl, glow-in-the-dark stickers in the shapes of stars on it, and is otherwise painted a navy blue. In the center of the room, there is a wooden table (markedly a different wood than the floor, but no more identifiable). This table is made of one single piece of wood simply shaped into a table. Upon the table is a 1 gallon fish bowl, filled to about 7/8 capacity with water. There are multi-colored, strangely mundane limestone pebbles on the ground of the fishbowl. There is also a purple limestone castle inside, about large enough to fit one’s thumb inside, but no more. There exists, theoretically, a fish inside the fishbowl. The fish is present while being observed, but because the fish changes each and every time that it is observed, it is impossible to dictate which fish truly resides there, or if any do, or if they all do. Fish flakes are to be placed in the fish bowl every 6 hours. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND INSIDE THE FISH BOWL. If you make contact with the fish, you will vanish, and to whence you go is as of yet undetermined.

G - 003 Oneiroi
Oneiroi is a plane which lacks any elements describable as "logical", although any consciousnesses think there is nothing unusual in Oneiroi as the concept of normalcy supersedes all others within the plane. Oneiroi is habitable by most types of consciousness, although it is only enterable during REM sleep. The only god currently known to exist in Oneiroi is Somnir, whose most frequent activity is rerouting consciousnesses leaving their native planes to Oneiroi into random areas, then releasing them at random. Somnir's rationale for these actions is unknown.

G - 004 Chicago
A pleasant plane filled with various animal and plant life. It would be a very hospitable place to live, but for whatever reason, whenever someone says the word “once” (in any language), they’re immediately struck by lightning. If this is the work of a higher power, then this plane must undergo much more study.

G - 005 Japan
A realm filled with animated people and heavy corporate advertising. The ruler of the plane is a mysterious crab, who seems to have total governance over the way the plane is run.

G - 006 Outlook
An endless expanse of an acidic black sea. The only structure in this realm is a giant fortress with a great tower atop it. At its peak sits a massive, sentient eyeball, that, in the texts of other explorers, is only referred to as The Eye. It claims to watch over all other planes, overseeing every creature that walks the multiverse. It’s unknown if these claims are true, but it seems to know of all the visitors before they come…

G - 007 Detroit
This Plane takes the form of an endless, ruinous city. The Plane is hazardous to Flairians without equipment, which makes it near-impossible to explore, as the Plane will, without fail, find a way to steal or damage all possessions that enter the Plane from their owners. It is unknown if there are any native life forms, as none have been directly observed, but those who have entered the Plane have reported feeling the presence of living things and catching glimpses of vague "shadow gremlins" in the corner of their eye before having something stolen. The reason for the Plane's thieving tendencies, or what exactly steals or damages the objects and why, is unknown. The one upside of the Plane is that the rules of the Plane seem to make eating and excreting unnecessary, or at least slowing down bodily functions drastically. Despite this, there is apparently still a foul stench throughout the entire Plane from an unknown source.
