The Inpherno is the planet where the events of the current day take place. It resides in a universe called The Inphinity. A race called inphernals inhabit the Inpherno.

Inphernals are a humanoid race that come in shades of white, to grey, to black. They’re almost exactly like humans except for their horns and gear. Inphernals have a unique set of horns that come from their head which come in any color, shape, size, number, and position. Each set of horns is unique like a fingerprint. They’re made of keratin, and if shaved down enough, can reveal tender blood vessels. The horns of an inphernal are usually a solid color but on rare occasions they can be more than one color or a gradient. An inphernal is always spawned with a gear, which is an object classified into 3 classes; support, ranged, melee; and can range from: food, weapons, vehicles, musical instruments, animals, ect. Each gear is unique, and each gear can be summoned or de-summoned at will. An inphernal could share the same gear with another inphernal, but it would be a different variant of the gear, such as: Speed Coil and Gravity Coil, Red Skateboard and Blue Skateboard. A gear can be altered to possess more abilities (Such as Scythe getting her gear to morph into a rifle at will, and Coil manipulating his gear to contain every Coil variation.) and an inphernal can also take on an artificial gear, but it cannot be summoned or de-summoned. Many sellers supply artificial gears and gear adjustments such as Zuka. An inphernal can be born with a ‘curse’ which is basically a mutation. A mutation can be albinism, in which an inphernal’s hair, eyes, and horns lack any color and instead run red or purple with blood. Valk has this condition, but his blood is golden ichor, so his horns and eyes are gold. Another case of a mutation is Vinestaff, in which she has a wooden arm. Another case of a mutation is Voidstar and Firebrand, who have horns replacing one or both of their eyes. Inphernals are a violent race and often engage in fights. They have a high kill-drive, but it noticeably dampens with age. Since inphernals are so violent, not many live to be old. An inphernal around ~40 is considered rare and wise. They can live to be ~80, but many inphernals die young. Inphernals originate from a Spawnpoint, or a Spawn Shrine, or just a Spawn. A Spawn is a marble structure made of light in which a beam of energy extends into the sky, surrounded by spinning spiked circles known as a spawn symbol. Inphernals can be spawned at random from a Spawn with a class of gear, with the rarest being healing gears. This is known as ‘natural’ spawning. ‘unnatural’ spawning is when a deity manipulates a Spawn or two inphernals reproduce. An inphernal is born intersex and without a presenting gender. They possess both female and male human genitalia at the same time. Later on in an inphernals life, they can choose their gender to present as.

The Inpherno is a planet almost exactly similar to earth. Its split up into 5 regions and 3 sub-regions. The first is Crossroads; which resides in the middle of The Inpherno and is made up of 5 rings of urban cities. 4 bridges jut out from the rim of the 5th ring on each side (north, south, east, west) to provide access to the other regions via a tram. Crossroads is considered the safest region out of every other region, as it has its own strict police force and rules. Inphernals who reside in Crossroads are usually factionless. Each ring of Crossroads extends further up slightly until the first ring in the middle, where a huge tower resides. The tower — or known as the Crossroads tower — is a huge structure similar to the effiel tower, in which you can stand below it in the hollow middle, and scale the tower to the top. At the top resides a dome where a penthouse establishment is placed. Two horns jut out from the tower to resemble an inphernals own horns, and an antenna extends from the top. Two swirling arrows extend from the dome and down to the base of the building. The tower is made up of sturdy support poles and mesh metal, dark grey in color, with neon green lights for accents. Crossroads is home to an abundance of establishments and residential apartments, tightly packed together in each ring.

Lost Temple is a region within The Inpherno. Lost Temple is an arid desert filled with grand cities and lush dunes belonging to Redcliff. Lost Temple’s geography consists of mainly desert sands and savannah forests with an occasional oasis and porcelain city scattered around. Lost Temple’s logo is that of four rectangles positioned to resemble a tower or a temple. Inphernals from Lost Temple are notably more dark in color and are more aggressive but also very resourceful and strong.

Somewhere within Lost Temple are a multitude of mysterious support beams extending into the sky above the clouds. These beams help hold up the bridges and platforms of The Heights, a sub-region within Lost Temple where The Swords, or just The Deities reside. The Heights is mainly made up of platforms and mountain-like structures connected with bridges and tightropes. Rings of fire surround the middle. It’s far above the clouds, and if you fall from The Heights, the clouds surrounding The Heights for at-least 100 miles are able to be walked on. The Heights has its own Spawn, but regular inphernals are not able to be spawned from it.

Venomshank's outfit takes inspiration from that of a medieval plague doctor. He wears a dark green coat with 5 gold buttons and a thin golden ribbon attached to the collar. On his sleeves, two light green horizontal stripes wrap around the middle, spiking on the sides, with him also donning black gloves. He also has light green straps of the same color binding his coat. On his left shoulder, he has an epaulette, with dark green tassels. The cuffs of his sleeves are flared and lined with dark brown.

He has a dark brown belt, with a light green buckle to the left, and light brown pants, He has reddish-dark brown steel-toe boots. On his face, he wears a plague doctor mask, being a dark brown, wrapping around his head with two straps. The mask has two glowing green lenses in place of eyes. Near the beak of his mask, two black canisters are placed on either side. Three straps wrap around Venomshank's head to keep the mask upright.

Venomshank wears a light brown cap with a lime St. Peter's cross in the front, matching his horns. Four feathers emerge from the back of the hat, two on each side of his head. The bottom feather is colored lime, also matching his horns. Venomshank's horns are ram-like, spiking near the tip, with the horns being lime green.

The plague mask he wears is able to be locked so he doesn't accidentally bite another when he goes 'feral'. While in his feral state, he is not fully conscious of his actions and behavior, only vaguely remembering hours after the feral state reaches its end. Venomshank's bite can turn others into zombies, though he doesn't have full control over it.

Venomshank has a pet crow named Sisyphus. Venomshank was born on January 1st and is over 100 years old. Venomshank stands at 7 feet tall and has a slightly chubby, toned build, and patches of feathers line his form. He has bird feet and a feathery tail. Venomshank’s face is kind-looking and weathered, with slight wrinkles that give him a fatherly appearance. He has a son named Sword and 6 other siblings.

Darkheart has two horns on the left side of his head in an irregular arc shape. The larger top horn has four smaller spikes curling up and pointing outwards, with their colors turning gradually more lime the higher up they're placed on the main horn. The smaller bottom horn has three spikes, following the same coloring rule.

Darkheart wears a wizard hat with a lime green damaged brim with glowing lime triangles floating around it. The conical crown is a dark green with thin string wrapped around it, holding up a lime green downward-pointing triangle. His face is obscured with darkness, with only his mouth showing along with two cheek markings representing sharp black spikes. Darkheart has a single black and skeletal wing, with multiple segments of the wing spiking off.

Darkheart wears a dark cape, with multiple pieces torn and ripped. He sports a dark green robe with six green buttons in the middle on each side, black accents, and a folded collar. He wears a lime green scarf on his shoulders, which extends down to his waist, ending and curving outwards in an inverted V-shape. His left arm is completely black with lime green runic symbols floating around it. His right arm has a dark green sleeve with a black cuff. Darkheart wears black pants, with black and gray medieval boots.

Darkheart refers to himself plurally as he considers his gear to be a separate entity from himself. He is a mysterious and mischievous deity of chaos who enjoys fishing. He doesn’t understand basic boundaries and is often very flirtatious and touchy. He’s related to Venomshank by blood. Darkheart was born on January 1st and is over 100 years old. He stands at almost 8 feet tall and has an extremely skinny and lanky build. He reeks of fish, musk, and body odor. His hair is long, black, and greasy. Darkheart is extremely close to Zuka. So much so that they’re mistaken for lovers at times. Zuka is Darkheart’s ‘favourite mortal’.

Zuka has a muscular build: sporting a pair of triangle shades, a blue backpack, an orange bandanna, and a baby blue short sleeved button up with two breast pockets. He wore a dark blue belt with light blue suspenders clipped on, a pair of blue to purple gradient pants, and a pair of purple military boots with golden accents. He has four cobalt blue horns, two emerging from each side of his head. Said horns wrap around his head and taper into spikes. Zuka can be very sassy when asked questions he deems stupid. Zuka is a soldier for Blackrock, even being faction ambassador, he enjoys using his gear. Blackrock is, in his opinion, like a close-knit family. He has a complicated relationship with the Swords, He is extremely famous and it can be stated that "everyone in Blackrock knows his name". He has ties to Venomshank and has worked with the deities. Zuka has been stated to be favored by some of the deities, Firebrand and Darkheart explicitly so. Zuka cna be described as an up-beat and playful person, but can often be ruthless on the battlefield in a sadistic, playful way. He takes pleasure in exploding things. Zuka is up to do just about anything he deems fun, and is a bit of a dare-devil.

The Broker is an elusive figure in the Inpherno, who is known to be an information broker and parts dealer. Despite being an inphernal who spawned in Lost Temple, The Broker was spawned with unusual biology in comparison to others. The Broker notably possesses a body which is sewn and stitched together, comprising of skin of unknown origin. The Broker lacks the ability to taste, bleed, or experience tactile sensation; notably lacking pain and temperature perception. Upon closer inspection, one may see a dark, wire-like material protruding from his insides between his stitches and wounds. The nature of this wire-like substance, as well as the reason for The Broker being spawned this way, are both unknown. He is often on the run from Banhammer, who repeatedly tries to jail and execute The Broker to no avail. The Broker has a distinctive, bright red rotary telephone which he uses to communicate to other people who possess an identical model of telephone. The Broker comes across as overly jovial and friendly to most people he meets. In reality, he is a manipulative, dangerous, and self-serving individual who is not above violence or intimidation. He has a tendency to watch other inphernals from their windows. When asked questions about his gear, name, spawn region, age, etc., The Broker gives wildly different answers on all occasions, leading to much confusion about his exact nature. The Broker is a light-skinned inphernal with large, dark blue horns which curve up and backwards. He wears a black dress shirt and pants, with a black waistcoat and shoes, and a dark blue tie. He wears signature teal blush on both cheeks, and he is often seen sporting a black metal cuff on his right wrist, on account of constantly escaping from Banland. His body is covered in stitches where skin has been grafted onto his body in various places. He has marks resembling vivisection scars on his abdomen. When his stitches are open or come undone, a dark wire-like substance is visible inside his body. He has a distinct X-shaped scar above his good eye. Broker is estimated to be between 20-29 years of age, and was born on the 17th of September. He is 5’8.

Medkit is an inphernal who was spawned under the KORBLOX Administration. Medkit was unnaturally spawned in Blackrock to his two caretakers, and was immediately taken in by the KORBLOX Administration. His gear, being a healing class gear, is a very rare occurrence within the Inpherno. His gear allows him to heal the wounds and injuries of other inphernals with the abilities he was spawned with, making him a highly coveted asset to the KORBLOX Administration. He works as a scientist alongside Subspace, using his incredible intellect and talents in the fields of engineering and chemistry to help further KORBLOX's research. During their time working under the KORBLOX Administration, Medkit developed the first known instance of energy crystals. Medkit and Subspace don’t get along. He struggles with intense paranoia and constant night terrors. Despite Medkit's intellect, he has become a rather paranoid person, but can still be joyful at times. He is typically very flat with his interactions, and tries not to get too close to anyone besides Subspace, Grav, and Warp. Medkit is a well put-together inphernal, who dons He has two horns which closely resemble antlers that protrude from the sides of his head and extend upwards. On each horn, he has two tines following the same direction, and he wears a dogtag on his bottom right tine. In between both horns sits a floating crystal, which is the source of his gear's power. He is commonly seen with a disgruntled or forlorn expression. His medkit resembles a briefcase, exhibiting the same argyle pattern, along with a teal cross on the upper side, and gold accents along the body of the medkit, the corners, and the handle. The handle also has a bright teal grip. Medkit is 19 years old, was born on December 29th, and stands at 5’10. He has a slightly malnourished build and a messy ponytail.

Scythe was naturally spawned in Lost Temple, where she works as an oziphrage wrangler alongside her significant other, Grappling Hook, and their group of other wranglers. She is highly respected and loved by other members of Redcliff, being seen as an older sibling figure who others can bring their problems to. Scythe is a charismatic and silver-tongued individual who is led by her intense desire for vengeance. She will stop at nothing to get what she desires. She’s in pursuit of her "greater good". Despite this, she is loyal and dependable to those in her Redcliff faction, and has her own doubts about what the "greater good" means to her.

Near the butt of the gun are two gold wings with red accents, connected by large black screws. The weapon rotates and extends to reveal a red grip. Scythe has a white cornrow hairstyle. Scythe stands at 6 feet and is 42, being born on June 6th.

Banhammer was unnaturally spawned at The Heights by Windforce, one of the seven deities of the Inpherno. Banhammer was the first demi-deity ever spawned. Windforce raised Banhammer in her image, and the two share an extremely close bond, with Windforce being very proud of her child and his accomplishments. Banhammer is incredibly strong in comparison to normal inphernals, possessing an indefinite lifespan, much like the deities before him. He has a set of wings similar to his caretaker, which he is able to summon and de-summon at will, as well as four eyes with two on each side. Banhammer does not align himself with any faction in the Inpherno, and prefers to keep to his own, leaving him with a distinct lack of other inphernals in his circle. Banhammer is, by all accounts, an egotistical and extroverted inphernal who loves showing off his superior abilities to others. He deems himself better than everyone else, and won't let anyone forget it. He has a particular enjoyment for the "thrill" of chasing after people and enacting ‘justice’ on them, revelling in the despair they feel when he corners them for good. He prefers this sort of "hands-on" experience. Despite his boisterous nature, Banhammer prefers to keep to himself, and doesn't have many inphernals he can consider a friend. Banhammer wears a set of heavy armor. His cuirass has a large glowing purple diamond in the center and grey indentations along the sides and down the middle. He boasts two large purple spikes on his pauldrons closely resembling his horns and two large purple gauntlets, also with spikes on the knuckles as well as two glowing circles-presumably bracings-for the plates on his forearms. Banhammer wears greaves and sabatons decorated with purple diamonds and trimmings. His weapon is an oversized hammer. The hammer has a large pommel on the bottom end, while the top end boasts a large hammer head with light grey bracings and small dark grey spikes. Banhammer stands at 7 feet tall with a huge, chubby, bulky build. He’s incredibly muscular, hairy, and toned, and is often considered incredibly handsome by many. He has two snaggletooths poking out from his mouth, sizable ones too. He also has patches of scales across his body and large dragon-like feet. Because he’s a demi-deity, he’s larger than others by a significant amount. That includes his cock, which is almost 10 inches. He is 25 years old and was born on the 18th of December. Banhammer also has a scruffy aftershave on his face, a large dragon tail, and little antennas coming down from under his nose like feelers on a bug. He can play the electric guitar and is unnaturally well at cooking and baking. He is on an intense daily training routine.

Windforce is a deity with two large, yellow spiny ram-like horns emerging from either side of her head, which taper into sharp ends. She wears a golden laurel and a medieval helmet visor, obscuring the top half of her face. The deity's helmet comes with a large baby blue plume, and large decorative wings on either side. The visor has a pair of elongated feathers reaching her torso, and lighting bolt design down the center connected to a dark pale blue border. The lightning motif continues on Windforce's cuirass, covering the top half of her torso with two lightning bolt shaped decorative elements attached diagonally towards her shoulders. Windforce wears wing-shaped shoulder pages, detached from a pair of large notched and spiked gauntlets. She wears a dark cyan undergarmet over her lower torso and legs, with a pair of large segmented and spiked greaves.

Windforce is bulky, extremely muscular with alot of body hair, and has cloud-like patterns around her body. Her hair is huge and poofy like a cloud. She has the same antennae as Banhammer, and also possesses 4 eyes. Windforce has alot of avian features and instincts, such as bird-like feet and wings. She stands at almost 9 feet tall and was born on January 1st. She is over 100 years old. Windforce is the most destructive of all the deities, only being kept in check by Firebrand. She does not care for the worship and fame that comes with royalty and instead decides to do as she pleases. Despite this, she is a good parent to her only child, Banhammer. Banhammer and Windforce are very close, and Windforce raised him on her own, in her exact image, explaining his general personality. Windforce can be incredibly soft towards Banhammer, oftentimes to a fault, and Windforce and Banhammer hold each other in extremely high regard, with Windforce being proud of her child, and Banhammer being generally in awe of his caretaker. Banhammer respects Windforce's territory, and doesn't hold any jurisdiction over Playground, where she rules.

Firebrand is a gray-skinned deity with a singular large horn emerging from the right side of his face, occluding his right eye. His horn curls backwards and inwards, then tapers upwards into a sharp spike at the tip. The horn's lower half is dark burgundy and segmented, and it has three spikes protruding from its external side that slightly curl in, arranged vertically one above each other. The lower half's segments become smaller and more separated towards the upper half, exposing a tip with a bright yellow and bright orange vertical gradient. Adjacent to the horn's base are two thinner and smaller horns of the same color, one at each side, curling around Firebrand's head. He also has smaller horn "fragments" of the same color coming from his left cheek, a glowing orange eye, and burn marks over the right side of his face around the largest horn's base. His hands glow bright orange, and their palms are bright yellow. Coming from Firebrand's back are a pair of large dragon-like wings, which are an earthy red and have maroon wing webs. Firebrand wears a dull burgundy suit with light gold lapels and trims along the cuffs and a beige undershirt and cravat with a glowing red brooch.

Around his waist is a burgundy double buckle belt, which has golden outlines and buckles. He also wears a pair of cuffed dark burgundy pants and a pair of dark burgundy boots with dark maroon soles and toe tips, as well as gold trimming. His namesake sword, the Firebrand, is mostly burgundy and has a flame-like decoration coming from the guard's side opposite to the edge. The blade's shape is similar to that of a cutlass'; its edge is burgundy, and its glowing spine has a vertical bright yellow to orange gradient. The edge's tip also has three glowing bright yellow pieces with ovate tips, which resemble wings, and they are larger the closer they are to the edge's tip. Firebrand is the considered to be most gentle of the Swords and is known to "play peacemaker". He has a fascination for mortals, similar to how humans treat pets. Firebrand was the most beloved among the Swords, being known as a "softie". Firebrand and Windforce are close. Firebrand's hands are too hot to touch. He gets other inphernals to help him out because of his hands. In addition, he has special gloves. Firebrand stands at 8 foot and was born on January 1st. He is over 100 years old. Firebrand often acts like a dragon, in which he nests, breathes fire and smoke, and hoards objects, animals, and people alike. He’s very passionate and cuddly.

Banland takes place on a desolate, hellish island prison surrounded by a vast lake of lava. Two small buildings on the same side of the map on opposite corners are seen, with two exit doors which lead to ramps into the main area. Various ramps and pathways lead to a central high ground. The central area consists of a large crystal formation in the middle as well as two arch structures on opposite sides. A large wall decorated with red banners sits in the background with aqueducts of lava flowing through it. A few core elements are placed around the map, such as correctional facilities and large, erratically moving lava geysers. In the center stands a towering statue of Firebrand, the warden of Banland itself. Despite its intimidating look, the place is only for correctional purposes. 

Firebrand’s son is only known by his title, ‘Firebrand’s son’. He is deceased, and was noted to have two sons named Microphone and Megaphone, and a partner whom he messily divorced. Banhammer was close to Firebrand’s son.

Microphone was born on the 22nd of February. He is 4. Two curved horns with split ends emerge from his forehead and taper into spikes. He wears mainly yellow attire and possesses wings in a pastel yellow, akin to those of a bat albeit smaller than his brother's. Compared to his brother, Microphone is a positive and upbeat individual. He almost always refer to everyone with a sense of familiarity, despite his young age. He generally expresses his opinions with hyperbole, such as when he says ice cream is '13x better' than popsicles. He enjoys both the colour and the flower violets, and thinks that doves are pretty. He doesn't particularly like chocolate and can only tolerate the taste somewhat. His favourite region is Playground. Though he is generally friendly, he can be pushy.

Megaphone was born on the 14th of November. He is 4. Megaphone has four horns emerging from either side of his head: two small pastel purple horns, both tapering into a sharp tip, and two larger similarly colored horns splitting into two at the ends, and tapering off into spikes. He mainly wears pastel purple attire with a little fancy boy-tie. He has his wings in a pastel purple, resembling that of a bat. Compared to his brother, Megaphone is generally a reserved and soft-spoken individual. He typically carries himself with an air of formality, showing little emotion . Despite this, he has shown excitement on some occasions, such as when describing his love for chocolate. He values roses as the best flower, as well as the intelligence of crows, over the superficial appearance of doves. His favorite region is Blackrock. He occasionally makes jabs at his brother's height, and can be pushy.

Ghostwalker was born on January 1st. He is over 100 years old and stands at 7’0. Ghostwalker is a light-skinned deity. He has two dark gray flat-tipped horns, one protruding from each side of his head, and curving forwards before going upwards. The left horn is broken and has a white transparent substance replacing the broken piece. He has wings made of the same substance, which sometimes are not visible. His eyes are "X"s, and he lacks a mouth. Ghostwalker has small, circular gray glasses. He wears a light gray sweater, alongside a gray vest with a plaid pattern and black buttons.

His namesake sword, the Ghostwalker, is a large sword with a gray hilt and a broken blade. The sword's pommel is sharp and becomes narrower at the end, like a sting. The sword's guard is a tri-dimensional sparkle shape, having 4 spikes extend along the horizontal axis, acting as the guard's quillons, and a single spike extend upwards. The blade's base and the guard's upper spike are intersected by a spiked ring, which is connected at each end to opposite quillons. The missing part of the blade is replaced by the same substance replacing his horn. Ghostwalker can't feel regular emotions. He has no mouth, which leads it to be unknown how he speaks.

Illumina was born on the 1st of January and is over 100 years old. They stand at 7’0. Illumina didn’t ‘choose’ a gender for themselves so they remain non-binary. Illumina is a deity with a large, singular plum colored horn emerging from the right side of their head. Said horn has three small thorns extruding towards their face and another two larger thorns extruding to the side and tapering up from their head. A glowing lavender halo made up of runic symbols is found floating around the base of their horn. Their eyes are completely white with silver eye bags beneath them. Illumina wears a lavender cloth tunic which extends down to their knees and ends at their boots, and changes color to a medium purple towards the end of the sleeves. The tunic is covered by a lighter purple toga-esque cloak that wraps around their torso into a cape, reaching their knees. Illumina has a singular wing on their right side, a white to stale blue gradient running down the feathers. Each of their wrists are decorated by a pair of black bracers with a sky blue inner rim. A pastel purple cloth wraps around their waist with darker blue folds, held up by a silver octagon positioned above their navel, functioning like a belt. Illumina wears large-belted medium purple boots reaching their knees. Despite being incredibly powerful, Illumina prefers to break down whatever is facing them verbally and scaring them off without lifting a finger. They find amusement in handling situations like this. Although Illumina currently has one wing, they used to have two. How they lost their second wing is currently unknown. Both Illumina and Darkheart dislike each other.aee
