Lore! *insert wojack meme*

Hello! Might as well drop some lore and then show some doodles because why not.

More Coda/Phantom lore! Horray!

____

Y'know how Coda's supposed to be me? Well... I kinda lied. Both of them (Coda and Phantom) are the true me. That's why I (almost)Always refer to them by name instead of "Me" or "I" when talking about them.

They're different sides of the same coin. One and the same, but separate as well.   Coda represents how I act around everyone I see. all happy, cheerful, caring, and willing to help anyone(also very emotional and empathetic, lol).  When around others, I almost never stop yapping, and openly share my ideas.  I can make friends out of almost anyone I meet and I'm probably too friendly for my own good.

Phantom on the other paw is silent. They're nothing. There but not, like static on a TV.. just... existing. They are made of(and represent) the trauma and experience that I've built up over the years. While the Phantom is mute, I still talk while by myself, make weird noises, fidget, and sometimes sing. Though nine times out of ten I'm completely silent. 

Phantom can't feel emotions. But can copy the feelings and actions of others around them and recognize what 'emotion' to use if they need to.     I did this because I am emotionally numb.  And while I can still feel stuff(really only positive emotions), it takes a bit more to feel them.
I usually end up staring. If I wanna force it, then I can even do that 1000 yard stare (as seen in the cover of this book) so Phantom stares as well. In fact, they don't even blink- when they close their eyes, they can still see. Always being aware of their surroundings.

Phantom has powers and can open portals to different dimensions. Any series I've seen, or created, Phantom can access. Yeah, both Phantom and Coda won't be visible to anyone inside the dimension, except if warranted, but they can explore and somewhat interact with the surroundings.    While I myself don't have magic, my imagination is damn near close. I'm obsessed with runes and magical worlds as well as being pretty good at world building and shoving myself into the place of the character.

Speaking of which, let's talk about The Void.

The Void is divided up into two areas. The upper layer, where Coda and Phantom live, and the lower layer, a small town consisting of all my friends(online or not), and my twin.
The upper layer is made of a series of floating islands, this is where Phantom's magic is usable. The lower layer is just a large grounded island with the before mentioned town, and creatures. The upper layer's sky is always nighttime, showing clear view of the stars and galaxies. The lower layer just looks normal. day/night cycle and all.

While anyone on the lower layer can come and go as they please, the upper void is surrounded by The Abyss. A long stretch of nothing. A pitch black wasteland that drowns anyone that's in it for more than a minute. The only place devoid of The Abyss is the cliff leading up to The Void, allowing others to visit and vice versa.
another thing to keep in mind is that The Void is directly connected to dimensions I've created myself.    with any series I've seen still having access to be traveled to, but needing more creative means to get to. Coda and Phantom keep The Void in order. Not a big job, as all they have to do is check in on the connected dimensions every once in a while, but a job nonetheless.

The portals Phantom makes partially intersect The Abyss, and while Phantom can travel through it just fine without any portal, it does drain them. If passed however, you meet the parallel to The Void. That being The Abeory.

Coda constantly has to check up on this place. As there is nothing to keep it in check. Just a presence that is The Abeory itself, but only exists and can't do anything itself beyond follow and/or change a vessel, or interact with Coda and Phantom. Coda constantly talks to this presence xey've nicknamed "The Entity" or just "Abeory".
