| − | The '''Monolyth Battleplates''', also referred to as the '''Monolyth Realm''' is a part of the [[Baseplates|Baseplate Dimension]] that was born from a [[Resonance cascade]] during the [[Ragnablok]] event. In the [[Galaxia Nehellenium]] region known as the [[Gold Sector]] had experienced perpetual brutal war at a far higher scale than was normal for the already chaotic Galaxy. Meanwhile, mad scientists had been secretley tampering with the very fabric of reality, and unknowingly ripped a tear in the Multiverse that created a large crystaline entity that would later come to be known as the [[Monolith]]. As it attempted to escape to what became the Baseplate Dimension, The Monolith destroyed most of the sector reemerged in the Baseplate Dimension, Poisoning a large portion of it, turning them into what is known as the Monolyth Battleplates

| − | | |
| − | =Origin=
| |
| − | In the waning days of R2018, when the events of the Ragnablok began to unfold. A massive [[Resonance cascade]] Caused by a magikal crystal, wiped out the [[Gold Sector]]. Erasing it from the the [[Galaxia Nehellenium]], the occurance puzzled minifigs of the galaxy for months, but were too busy with their own battles to care for too long. Eventually it was realized that a new dimension had been created. This new dimension became known as the [[Battle Plates]] Dimension, a realm full of seperate baseplates linked together by portals and seperated by void space. And a very large "continent" of these plates, were named the Monolyth Battleplates.
| |
| − | | |
| − | =Regions and Locales=
| |
| − | The Monolith Plates consist of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of individual baseplates. Mapped out by the Land Barons and their Administrator overlords, the regions are divided into clusters, mainly among biome lines.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | The Monolith Realm Consists of a number of biome clusters each housing hundreds to thousands of plates, as well as an underworld known as the "Omega Plate" which goes on in perpetuity. The Worlds are Quarreled over by endless factions of Minifigs, Beastfigs, Demons, Mutants, Supernatural entities and brainwashed agents of the Monolith itself. The forces of the battleplates constantly fight over territory, recruits, resources and artifakts in order to further fuel their love of combat. The most powerful artifakts allow the leaders of these factions to open portals to other realms, and magikally or teknologically inclined outsiders can also open portals to the Monolith Battleplates and raid it for it's own resources, and even more so on the Omega Plate where resources are theoretically infinite.

| − | =Teleportation and Travel=
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | The Monolith Battleplates consist of hundreds if not thousands of baseplates, The majority of which house little civilization or stable infrastructure. Crude personal teleporters are widespread, and can be used to transport minifigs to nearby plates however doing so is not always reliable. Baseplates will often reject too many minifigs on them at once. Forcing clans and factions to resort to other means to get minifigs on the ground, The use of fleet ships that fly through voidspace, over and past other plates like a conventional transport and teleport hubs that increase the stability of teleporters from the owned faction. Teleport hubs are so essential to controlling a plate, that during sieges they are often the primary target of both sides. Serious battles over a plate will often resort to stopping the other side from being able to reinforce the region, and the rest is down to attrition.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Scattered across the plates and found in the hundreds are special psionik portal devices called Lazarus Gates, or L-Gates. They exist as both a transportation system as well as Supernatural or magikal ressurection device. Any minifig that uses an L-Gate is added to the Psionik network, Their conscience and physical form is copied into an Archive of sorts, and reconstructs and resurrects a fallen Minifig at the gate of their choosing after some time.

| − | =Supernatural Phenomenon=
| |
| − | | |
| − | Across the Monolith Regions, Individual plates from various clusters are known to exhibit supernatural or magikal phenomenon, Extreme temperatures, deadly anomalies, psionic disturbances, interruptions of space time, Weird land formations, mutants, demons and all sorts of other hazards dot the various plates across the dimension.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Omega and Zeta plates, which themselves are both single baseplate regions, also exhibit extreme cases of anomalies. While the Zeta plate itself is of mythic status and is said to house an all powerful crystalline deity. The Omega plate exists on a plane entirely separate from the rest of the Monolith Plates. An infinite landmass of both idyllic paradise and uninhabitable brikhell
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Lazarus Effect==
| |
| − | The Monolith Realm displays a peculiar phenomenon where minifigs who die, later come back to life from strange black Portals which the populace calls "L-Gates", short for Lazarus. The gates can be passed through by Living minifigs, and used as a teleportation network. But when a minifig dies, Their spirit wanders aimlessly. If they managed to use an L-Gate at least once in their life, then their body will be "uploaded" to a psychic network of sorts. And a clone body is grown. When ready, they can inhabit their new body and emerge from an L-Gate of their choosing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | L-Gates are seen as important hubs, Factions guard the gates in their territory with all their might. As they form the crucial chain in the circle of life and death in the realm. Going so far as to claim gates for themselves, and turning them into spawn bases for factions, and killing anyone who isn't supposed to use them, or those who might try to teleport into a base to attack it from the inside.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Dark Energy'''
| |
| − | Weapons imbued with Dark Energy are able to permanentley kill off Minifigs, as they also subdue wandering spirits... The Obsidian blade 'Blackstar' is one such relic able to do this.
| |
| − | The destruction of L-Gates is a crime on the level of terrorism in the Realm, as it is another way to kill off others for good. However this cannot reliably used to kill specific beings as it is far too sloppy, and often just kills whoever was in the process of using it
| |
| − | | |
| − | =Minifig Antics=
| |
| − | The plates are home to hundreds of thousands of minifigs, the majority of baseplates that are inhabited, still remain uncontacted and the minifigs live shrouded in mystery. Nevertheless the norm for the explored regions is that Minifigs will compete for resources to build the best stuff. Normally they are concerned with simply building shelters and staying alive. Even though death is not the end for these minifigs, they can still feel pain. And there are worse things out there that will motivate minifigs to take care of themselves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The lowest a minifig can fall, is to be naked, homeless and penniless. And the thought of losing one's house, their stuff, or the clothes off their back is enough to motivate minifigs to stay alive. A prevalent problem relating to this issue is the concept of slavery. Minifigs are often captured and imprisoned, and forced to do hard labor or otherwise unsavory tasks for the benefit of others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many equivalents of governments exist, however the area they "govern" is miniscule compared to the overall population of the plates. Nevertheless a rudimentary economy exists, backed on transparent elements and mixed with other intemediaries like paper notes, coins, and digital currencies.

| − | '''Commoners''' | + | '''Mir''' is a planet within a pocket dimension in the [[Gold Sector]]. It alongside it's Star, Monolit emerged in the sector after the eponymous "Monolith Event" which in R2018 wiped the entire region clean of all other stars, planets, celestial bodies, and in turn, all other life. While the planet and it's star exist in the sector, their physical location is unknown. Strange and powerful forces have successfuly kept the planet hidden from outside interference. And all travel to and from the planet is managed by a network of proxy portals. |
| − | also known as Yellows, or Zhelts (Monolyth Slavonik for Yellow) are the most populous and widespread race of the plates. Possessing a huge range of variance within it's population. Masters and Morons, Great Warriors and gigantic wussies. Psionics, Scientists, Politicians and Soldiers. The Yellows are found almost everywhere. They are known for building large towns and cities, and controlling most of the Politics between both Settlements, and Faction Armies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Majority of Yellows speak a language known as the Monolyth Slavonik, which is a carryover from the now dead [[Gold Sector]] of the [[Galaxia Nehellenium]]. Although this language is easily translatable as it's more or less the same as Galacian Slavonik. Which was the language of the former star nation of [[Galacia]] in the old world.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yellows are also one of the most susceptable populations to the formation of religions, and the following of Deities, Such as Chernobog, Molokh, Perune, and Svarog. Many of which are actually dead Viceroys from the plates.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Peaches'''
| |
| − | also known as Peachenegs, and Fleshies. much like in other parts of the Brikverse, are a race of pariahs that are shunned or distrusted simply for being "different". They make up the second largest group among civilized folk on the Plates. And are known as hard workers and good fighters, possibly because their struggles of prejudice and angst against them gives them greater willpower.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Peaches from the Monolith Plates generally speak one of two languages. Many speak Monolyth Slavonik, but another carry-over from their Gold Sector homes, called "Perriska" is also spoken by many. It's almost completely unintelligble and extremely difficult to translate. Pretty much the only thing that can be easily identified is any word that's used frequentley... which usually turns out to be nothing but Cussing and Swearing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Peach Monolithians don't really have any of their own religions. Those who do follow a faith, usually follow the same ones that Yellows do. Many of them were not necessarily Peach, or Yellow faiths, but founded by both of them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Mutants'''
| |
| − | is a particularly mean term for a number of minor races of minifigs of different color or starkly different appearance. Reds, Greens, Blues, and many others find themselves surrounded by foreigners and are forced to integrate into their socities. Not all do however. Some live in exclusion and form their own factions. Civilized Mutants make up a very small percentage of the population. Many of them live in primitive savage conditions, but those folk are often indistingushable from Beastfolk.. the two terms are often interchanged
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mutants speak both Monolyth Slavonik, and some of their own unique languages
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mutants, Much like Peaches, Follow some established relgions, as well as some of their own
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Beastfolk'''
| |
| − | are a number of races who exhibit anatomy features that are completely different than Yellows, Peaches and other colored Minifigs. Some of the notable forms of Beast Races are Canids, Gatormen, Dungans, Avians, Panthera, Trolls, Cyclops, and various hives of Bugmen. If Colored Mutants had it rough, the Beastfolk have it harder. Probably one of the least trusted and respected races. The Beast races in themselves have a totem pole of race heirarchy. Some types are tolerated or even respected in the world at large, like Canids and Avians. Whereas others are treated like Animals, and killed or enslaved en masse. like Gatormen and Dungans.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some Beastfolk can speak languages, others must use tek to provide a voice as they're unable to actually vocalize... And some are just too dumb to do anything but grunt and scream. (See [[Dungans Jaw-Jaw]])
| |
| − | | |
| − | Beastfolk, much like everyone else, follow some established religions, or their own niche pagan religions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Robots'''
| |
| − | Also known as Synthetics, and a number of various derogatory insults are a race of intelligent machines. Most are wholly independent and display their own sense of personality and conscious. But others are susceptable to being apart of a network and being little more than controlled Drones. Synthetics make up a fairly large population of the plates. But most resign to a life of seclusion, either completely on their own because of social stigma. Or as apart of a larger Machine community. Those that live in the society with the others however, are known as excellent workers, builders, crafters and soldiers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Machines are able to communicate in any language that living fleshbags use.. But they can also communicate with each other digitally. A much faster, and completely discrete way opposed to the flapping of gums
| |
| − | | |
| − | Machines generally don't follow religions, but they are susceptable to being influenced or outright controlled by other machine intelligences much more advanced and powerful than them.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Viceroys''' | + | While Mir's existence appears to be of artificial or intelligent design, the planet itself is plagued by a massive ecological disaster in the form of radioactive energy crystal infestations, not to mention the damage done by it's inhabitants through the course of several surface conflicts. |
| | | | |
| − | Viceroys are Powerful Minifigs skilled in the Arcane and Psionik schools. They act as the overlords and in some cases.. the gods of the Plates. Most of them live in seclusion with an army of servants. While a signifigant amount of them came together to form the "Administration" which controls much of the Politics, Diplomacy and Economy of the civilized world in the plates. Independent Viceroys are known to scheme and even war against each other. Although many of them don't bother to get involved with the actual events on the plates, or waste their time talking to lesser races. Several have been known to have either raised armies of followers and gone to war against each other. Or simply enslaved them to obey their will. Viceroys are the Most powerful, and most senior agents of the Monolith. All of them were granted their power by the crystal, but they don't necessarily all work together. One topic of contention is the possession of extremely powerful artifakts. Possession of these artifakts grows a Viceroy's power. And it's cited as the number 1 reason that they kill each other. Unlike on the plates with L-Gates, when Viceroys kill each other, they willfully use dark energy, black magik, and other means of permantley offing their enemy.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Some Viceroys, both living and dead, have been worshipped as gods. And the lesser races Fight, preach and celebrate over their "gods". Some of these Gods are or were direct in their interaction with their followers. While others have never revealed themselves directley to their followers. Some Gods don't even exist.. and are just products of imagination.
| + | =Timeline= |
| | | | |
| − | ==Gods and Masters==
| |
| − | The Monolith Plates are ruled by a race of magikally imbued Minifigs known as '''Viceroys''', These powerful beings control considerable influence over the direction and politics of the plates. Although only a few do this directly. It's not known how many Viceroys exist, but it's thought to be a few dozen. They're known to kill each other off permanent in dramatic fashion. It's said that the Monolith Crystal has the power to make a normal minifig into a Viceroy, if they can only reach it.

| − | '''Known deities, both real and fictional'''
| + | {| class="wikitable" |
| − | *'''Molokh''', God of the Holy Flame. Was a Viceroy that turned thousands of Minifigs into xenophobic cultists that roamed the land, spreading their taint and killing anything that Molokh didn't like. Molokh was eventually killed but his teachings live on in the "Faith of the Holy Flame"
| |
| − | *'''Chernobog''', the Dark God. Is followed by the Black Legion of the [[Damned]], and is believed to be a real power. Except that it's also suspected not to be a living being, but the machinations of the Monolith Crystal itself, causing chaos in the world for the lulz.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Central Government==
| |
| − | Elsewhere, based in a floating city high above the Alpha Plates lies the city of Anwar. Considered the diplomatic and economic center of the fragmented plates. Whatever trading or negotiating that does go on in the plates, Usually goes through Anwar, or by systems controlled by Anwar. The city itself is governed by a number of Viceroys called the '''Administrators''' who control the dealings in the city and occasionally intervene in plate matters. However the worries of the plates are normally relegated to another class, known as the '''Barons''' or Land Barons, Who act as something of landlords and mayors. However this position is usually given to whoever is best suited to brownnose the Administrator Council's wishes. The vast majority of the plates regardless if they have a Baron or not, are left alone by powers in Anwar.

| | + | The continents and isolated plate worlds of Mir are home to hundreds of thousands of minifigs and individuals of other races. While information is only available for the Realm's largest continent, Serica. It is known that some populations exist all over the realm in areas that are yet uncontacted. |

| − | ==Known Factions==
| + | Most of the population lives in the central "green" regions of Serica, safe from ecological disaster although smaller communities and settlements exist scattered across the wastes and wild territories. While Minifigs make up the majority of the population, there are known to be more than a dozen races on Serica alone, including some who have Migrated from Xindra and other continents. |

The Imperiya is lead by a pair of Legendary commanders supported by several skilled generals and officers under their command. The Imperiya as a group acts as a force of Order, They lay claim over large swathes of territory and tax the residents in exchange for protection. If the locals cannot pay, they will usually agree to provide compensation in another form such as labor or levies for their Army, Those who do not pay the tribute are usually evicted from their land, but sometimes are made an example of and are flattened by an Imperiya Armiya assault.

They roam the lands in small groups, constantly on the run from groups like Vorhut and Imperiya. Due to a shared rivalry with Vorhut, Svoboda and Armata are unofficial Allies. Both groups abhor the concept of slavery

They were once only a rival of Imperiya, but saw themselves the target of hostility from Vorhut, and as a result they often fight one another. This brought them into a common cause with Svoboda, as well. Both groups abhor the concept of slavery

And they are known for using infiltrators to sabotage enemy bases. Their antics have brought them into conflict primarily with Echelon for their collection of Artifakts and advanced technology. But they also sometimes conflict with OSKOM and Imperiya due to their own wealth. They are traditionally hostile to almost everyone, but have a particularly solid beef with Echelon, jealous of their artifakts and always on the hunt to steal them. Above all else, the Syndikat is driven by money. And seeks to control the baseplate economy.

Powered by Neon and fueled by Tibinium and Vortek crystals, Nanoforges are used to process a set of instructions transmitted wirelessly from faraway servers housing the schematics to produce practically anything an engineer or builder would need, Standard briks, and even weapons can be produced with forges. However additional materials may be required depending on the project, like Mantle or Beryl |

| + | Nanoforges can be scaled up or down, it's not uncommon to see small commercial level forges used in small stores. While the tek is highly proliferated, the schematics for products are jealously guarded by corporations, militaries, and private owners. Anyone who owns a schematic will often charge others to download them, either as a one time, or per use basis. This business model makes up a large portion of the Economy and Industry of the realm. The industrial scale forges are in limited supply, less than 2000 still exist in the realm. The knowledge on how to build and repair them has been lost with the departure of the Elders in R2020. Meaning Governments and Corporations that control them have even more influence over the economy of Mir. |
