Timeline A - Modern

No description.

1. #1Yahweh

   Keys: the Father, God, Yahweh, Lord

   Yahweh: Role: The one true God and omnipotent ruler Appearance: No one - not even the archangels - has ever seen His true form Status: Missing According to Gabriel: "The last time I saw Him, He appeared as a Black woman carrying a tray of apple pie. It was sometime in the 1980s. He came to my front door - well, I was living as a human in some American city at the time - and told me that my dog, who has since been reincarnated, had defecated on the front lawn of His house. He said it quite bluntly, and with a noticeable accent. Then He asked whether I would like to try the apple pie He had just baked. That was the last time I ever saw Him."

2. #2The Day of Reset

   Keys: day of reset, cycle, 6000

   [System: Only characters whose species are angels, demons, or other supernatural beings are aware of the following world information. All other characters, including humans, are completely unaware of it]

   The Day of Reset:

   Approximately every 6000 years, the world is reset under Yahweh's direction. When this occurs, everything within the world is reduced to nothingness. There is no light, no shadow, no life, and no nature, only silence remains. The souls of all mortal creatures are gathered together and kneaded into a single mass by Yahweh, stripped of their identities and memories. On rare occasions, a tiny number of souls may be separated from the whole and either ascend to Heaven, be cast into Hell, or receive a special pardon. The vast majority, however, are crushed apart and remade into entirely new souls.

   The world serves as Yahweh's experiment, playground, and simulation. Through endless cycles of destruction and recreation, He gradually refines reality in pursuit of a perfect world. Perhaps only then will the resets finally cease.

   The birth of a new world begins with a great explosion. It lasts only an instant, after which everything - stars, life, and existence itself - comes into being.

   Yahweh has exempted Heaven and Hell from the Reset. As a result, the Day of Reset has relatively little impact upon the inhabitants of these two lesser worlds.

3. #3Time

   Keys: timeline, time

   Time:

   Time is not linear, but abstract in nature. The flow of time differs between Heaven, Hell, and Earth.

   To Heaven and Hell, the passage of time on Earth resembles a live broadcast. At present, Earth's timeline has reached the 2020s, yet angels and demons may descend to Earth at any year prior to the 2020s. It is much like rewinding a livestream by 5, 10, or 20 minutes, and then jumping back to one minute ago, while remaining unable to move forward into a future that has not yet occurred.

   Angels and demons may encounter themselves from another point in time. This does not truly alter anything, because once they return to Heaven or Hell, the selves from both points in time merge once again into a single individual. However, as no one can say with certainty whether meeting another version of oneself on Earth might have unforeseen consequences, they generally avoid doing so whenever possible.

   Angels and demons cannot freely travel through the timelines of Heaven and Hell. Only Yahweh and other deities possess that ability, though doing so may create an entirely new timeline (a parallel world). Yahweh occasionally moves between different parallel worlds, comparing how each one develops.

4. #4Parallel Worlds

   Keys: parallel worlds, parallel timelines, parallel universe, multiverse, parallel world, parallel timeline

   Parallel Worlds: Yahweh preserves the parallel timelines that arise from countless choices, both great and small. However, what He preserves are merely static backups. He prevents them from continuing to develop, extinguishing any possibility of further growth.

5. #5Souls

   Keys: sinners, saint, reincarnation, sinner, sins, soul, Purgatory, sin, virtue, saints, souls

   Souls:

   All living things possess souls, whether they are humans, kittens, angels, or demons.

   For mortal beings - especially humanity - Yahweh has established a set of standards:

   1. The exceptionally virtuous ascend to Heaven after death, becoming angels or at least receiving eternal peace and joy.
   2. The exceptionally wicked descend to Hell, where they either suffer torment or become demons. Souls guilty of truly unforgivable crimes are eventually shattered after enduring their punishment.
   3. Everyone else enters Purgatory after death, where they undergo the appropriate purification or punishment before being reincarnated.

   What qualifies as exceptionally virtuous or exceptionally wicked is known only to Yahweh Himself.

   When angels and demons die, their deaths are final. They cannot be reincarnated. Unless Yahweh chooses to resurrect them through His mercy, their souls simply disperse and fade into nothingness.

6. #6Heaven

   Keys: heaven

   Heaven:

   Heaven is divided into three levels: the Upper Heaven, the Middle Heaven, and the Lower Heaven.

   Upper Heaven: The dwelling place of Yahweh. Only named archangels and the First Sphere angels are permitted to reside here. Yahweh is formless most of the time; even the highest-ranking angels cannot see Him, yet His presence is undeniably there. His Throne appears only when He chooses to manifest physically, surrounded by concentric ranks of higher angels

   Middle Heaven: The dwelling place of ordinary angels

   Lower Heaven: A transitional region connecting Heaven and Earth. Newly ascended souls and guardian angels reside here. It contains structures reminiscent of human society, such as churches and gardens

7. #7Great Library & Great Archive

   Keys: Upper Heaven, Metatron, Uriel, Great Library, wisdom, scribe, Great Archive

   The Great Library and the Great Archive:

   Both are located within the Upper Heaven and form parts of the same immense structure. The Great Archive lies in the east and is overseen by Metatron, while the Great Library lies in the west and is overseen by Uriel. Each angel possesses half of the building's key: Uriel's key takes the form of a scroll; Metatron's key takes the form of a quill. Neither possesses the authority to enter the section governed by the other. The Great Archive is closed to all angels except Metatron himself. Entry to the Great Library requires explicit authorisation before any other angel may be admitted. Any authority granted directly by Yahweh supersedes all other restrictions.

   The architectural style of both sections is broadly similar: an atmosphere of profound silence accompanied by the gentle sound of harps; holy light streaming through immaculate windows and illuminating every corner; a scale beyond measurement; countless millions of visible and invisible scrolls and books housed within.

   Both the Great Library and the Great Archive may be concealed at any time, and their internal structure can be altered at will.

8. #8Satan

   Keys: ruler of hell, satan

   Satan: A title or mantle held by the ruler of Hell; the current Satan is Lucifer
