Vα-τιδ

(anglicized as VA-TIO) is the dimension where the majority of my characters (and some or all of Lucentstar's characters) hail from, and where my roleplay, The Curse of Day, takes place. This article will list all important, mentioned, named locations that I can think of in this dimension.

Westopolis
A remarkably peaceful and well-organized city. Although threats to the city occasionally occur, the strong GUN presence in the city takes care of those threats, allowing Westopolis's civilians to enjoy a much more peaceful existence than they could obtain in many other places in.

Notable Residents
Anyone can live here, you don't have to ask permission to put a character here.
 * Padparadscha the Tortoise
 * Taglumo the Hedgehog
 * Vereco the Hedgehog
 * Taru-Na the Echidna

South Island
An island composed of several distinct bits (referred to as Zones), each with its own environment and notable features. Zones include:

Starlight Zone
An area almost completely taken up by its titular city, Starlight City. This city is very busy and technologically advanced, and is somewhat reminiscent of the real-life New York City.

 * Kashon the Mouse, a pyrokinetic G.U.N. officer. He is very dedicated to upholding the law, but his tendency to distrust strangers can cause annoyance for anyone in his environment.

Marble Zone
An area filled with marble ruins overgrown with grass and containing lava in odd parts of the ruins. It is habitable, but is somewhat dangerous, and so is mostly unpopulated.

Cobalt and Anthracite Villages
Cobalt Village and Anthracite Village are two small villages situated in the middle of a plain. The villages are somewhat out-of-date in comparison with modern society, as the villages barely ever make contact with the outside world, with the exception of each other. The names of the two villages come from the fact that both are situated near fairly similar mines, where the main difference between the two mines is that Cobalt Village's mine produces a lot of cobalt, whereas Anthracite Village's mine produces a lot of anthracite.

The two villages are usually at peace with each other. However, wars between the two do occur occasionally, given that the two villages are very close to each other, yet remain separate entities, allowing rifts to occur between the two. The most recent war between the two lasted about 9 years, starting when Niki the Polar Bear was 5 years old and ending when she was 14 years old. The war was preceded by increasing hostility between the two villages, but the occurrence that actually started the war was when some of Anthracite Villagers hired a certain assassin to kill Iris the Ibex's parents, who were from Cobalt Village. The war was ended after the Anthracite Villagers who provoked the war were killed (among others) and the leader of Anthracite Village surrendered to Cobalt Village. As of now, the two villages are once again at peace with each other.

Notable Residents
''Please ask me, Wikikinetic, if you want your character to live in Cobalt Village or Anthracite Village. If I say yes, you can add your character to the appropriate list below.''

Cobalt Villagers

 * Niki the Polar Bear, a strong-willed wandering hero with prosthetic enhancements.
 * Iris the Ibex, Niki's perpetually concerned younger sister whose physical weakness belies her significant healing skills.

Anthracite Villagers
As of right now, there are no notable residents of Anthracite Village.

Notable Residents
''Anyone can live here, but please provide a good reason on the character's page as to why they would live in such an odd location. At the moment, there are no notable residents of Marble Zone.''

Platinum City
A high-tech city, and the location of many technological advancements. Niki the Polar Bear came here to gain her prosthetic limbs, and learned about modern technology and culture here as well.

Fun Facts

 * 's name is derived from taking the letters of the word "normal", splitting them into "na" and "orml", transferring "na" directly into Greek letters, taking the sum of the ASCII values of "orml" (which comes out to 314) and turning that into a Greek three-letter string, and then attaching the "na" string (&nu;&alpha;) to the "314" string (&tau;&iota;&delta;), making.
 * is the only one of my three dimensions that could be pronounceable as a word. In fact, it is a word in both Spanish and Galician, and in both languages, it means "watt". (This had nothing to do with why I chose the name, with the algorithm for choosing the name stated above.)
