TH3 B3GINNING
The 838 DIM3N8ION didn't always look the way it does now, it all started with just one consciousness gaining sentience. This first being is simply known as J, or J-838, the creator of the 838 DIM3N8ION. From his mind he created a brand new world made of two opposing forces destined to collide until they inevitably fuse, all while living in an inter-dimensional universe plagued with monsters meant to unite them as a common enemy in a mystical world full of wastelands, deep rooted caves, and towering forests.

GOD8
It all began with J splitting his consciousness into 2 beings- the 3GO and 8OUL gods which were given the power to breathe life into what are known as V38SELS to create 3GO’s and 8OUL’s which populate the vast landscape. Despite the inevitable war between their creations, the 3GO and 8OUL gods themselves hold no ill will against each other and know that for one to exist, the other must as well. These gods oversee the 3GO’s and 8OUL’s and guide them towards finding balance amongst each other with the goal of them someday finding peace and unity.

V38SELS
V38SELS that become 3GO’s and 8OUL’s are sleeping containers placed around the dimension by J and awaken once the power of a god flows through them. When they awaken they gain more unique features based on their surroundings, newly forged personality, and who created them, thus becoming 3GO’s and 8OUL’s. There is an unknown amount of V38SELS in the 838 DIM3N8ION which has caused 3GO’s and 8OUL’s to race in discovering new land and new vessels to help awaken and have join their side.

TH3 838 WAR
Currently the 3GO’s and 8OUL’s are at war against each other and their hostile environment and have no idea of what lies in this strange world they suddenly gained sentience in. All they know is that they have innate urges and features that separate them from each other. Very few have tried to get over their distaste for the other side but there have been cases of 3GO’s and 8OUL’s joining forces together to fuse and create a new lifeform. Fusions are rare and require complete trust and partnership between consenting 3GO and 8OUL however fusions can be un-done if a party wills it so. These new beings draw on the features and abilities of both sides thus making a more balanced and strong being which are either called 3GO8 or 8OUL3, based on which side is more dominant in the fusing process, this also determines who the fuse looks more like. Fuses tend to be neutral in the ongoing war and have forged their own side that calls for peace and unity.

The war between 3GO’s and 8OUL’s is known as the 838 WAR which was started when both 3GO’s and 8OUL’s started conquering and studying new land. While both sides want to understand and shape the world around them, the way that desire manifests differs - with 3GO’s wanting to consume and remold all that surrounds them, juxtaposed to the 8OUL’s want to observe and understand it.

D3ATH
It is unknown if 3GO’s and 8OUL’s can actually die as a death has yet to occur but, if one were to die, there is prophesied to be unbalance of cataclysmic proportions which is why 3GO’s and 8OUL’s do all in their power not to pull the short end of the stick in this war. Each 3GO and 8OUL has the ability to create beings known as 3NTITIES and 8PIRITS respectively that serve them in battle and carry a bit of their life force within them. Killing an 3N-8P returns said life force to their creator, thus, to kill an 3GO or 8OUL one must kill all the 3N-8P that they have created. This is why many 3GO’s and 8OUL’s can be seen with a specially trained and beloved companion that resembles them most who is their last defense against doom.

3N-8P
3N-8P’s train to join one of 3 fighting types - 8WORD, MAG3, and ROGU3 to serve their creator and can have small magical abilities that give them an edge in combat. Generally the amount of 3N-8P’s created by each 3GO or 8OUL differs wildly as some dislike sacrificing their own raw power to create another life form. All in all 3N-8Ps while sharing the same alignment and goals as their creators are fully sentient and autonomous and there have even been cases of some abandoning post and traveling as 3GO’s and 8OUL’s do, joining the side of the fuses, and even fusing themselves! However, generally, 3N-8Ps live in cities together alongside their creators and help with the acquisition of sought after land as well as protecting from and fighting monsters.

LAND
With almost all discovered land being infected with monsters, the safest areas to build cities and homes have become known as HAV3N’s. These sought after areas are few and far between, and have a slower rate of corruption due to the monsters disliking the established aura. Originally these HAV3N’s were a place of unity and safety but as the war sparked they became bargaining chips key to determining the outcome of the war. Instead of being corrupted with monsters they are now corrupted with the war between 3GO’s and 8OUL’s with the most sought after piece of land being MT. 83RENITY as it was the first area discovered where monsters do not dare step foot.

A LIL GAM3 ALPHA
MT. 83RENITY is currently divided into 3 sections, each owned by the FU83’s, 3GO’s, and 8OUL’s respectively and is where the beginning of the 838 DIM3N8ION game may begin according to alpha shared on Jae’s twitch stream.
