Heyyy, welcome to Pendulum which I'm officially shifting from the extras section of Toxin to give it an existence of its own.
I'll be reposting the Intro and the first two chapters with a new update coming very soon so strap yourselves in for one heck of a ride.
This is gonna be a long essay so bear with me.
Earth 876 is a world much like Peter B's or Miles' world, i.e it's set in the early 21st century. New York is called Neo York in this reality and the architcture style of the buildings lean more towards the maximalist, neo-gothic style.
So if you were to walk through Neo York, you'd see tons of marble sculptures and edicts on every street, huge towering cathedral-like skyscrapers with tons of intricate stone work like the Notre Dame, gigantic pillars with details upon details carved into the stone, almost every window having either a glass-painting or having a mosaic pattern etc. You can blame this on the early Neo York administators absolutely refusing to allow futuristic designs to 'promote and preserve traditional Western European art and cultural values'.
On Earth 876, Neo York had experienced a heavy influx of magic users (witches, warlocks sorcerers etc.) following the Second World War, because H.Y.D.R.A and Hitler were actively arresting and detaining suspected magic users in their labs, to help the Axis Powers win the war with literal magic (and to somehow turn himself immortal). As the practioners of the occult arts swarmed the area, the city became a hotspot of magical activiy.
This led to Neo York gaining a heavily magic saturated environment and developed a thriving Underworld of the supernatural kind. The Spiderman villain variants of this world gain their powers either from magical items accquired from the black market or by occult means. Also ghosts, ghouls, vampires, werewolves etc. roam the city more often since this oversaturation of magic makes the veil between the supernatural and the mundane fade slowly.
Then there's the art style of the world. It's like Gwen's Earth but instead of a water colour feel, Earth 876 has more of an ink, dye or paint spreading through water effect going on, with the colours swirling and billowing in the sky during sunsets.
